Ning Yuanshan cleared his throat and said gently, "Xiuyuan, Xiuheng, this is your sister, Xiwan."
Ning Xiwan raised a well-behaved smile: "Big brother, second brother."
The air froze for a second.
Ning Xiuyuan finally raised his head from the documents, glanced at her coldly from behind his glasses, and nodded slightly: "Yeah."
——Not even bothering to say “hello”.
Ning Xiwan's mouth twitched.
Ning Xiuheng smiled, a hint of mockery on the corner of his lips, and said in a low voice: "Is this our lost sister?"
He deliberately emphasized the word "lost", as if to remind her - you are just a stranger who returned unexpectedly.
Ning Xiwan blinked, her smile unchanged: "Yeah, second brother, are you surprised?"
Ning Xiuheng raised an eyebrow, not expecting her to respond like that, and scoffed, "It's not a surprise, but it's certainly an accident."
Ji Qinglan frowned: "Xiu Heng!"
Ning Xiuheng shrugged and stopped talking, but the contempt in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
Ning Xiuyuan closed the file and said calmly, "Now that you're back, get used to the rules of your home."
Ning Xiwan tilted her head: "What rules?"
Ning Xiuyuan said calmly: "For example, don't disturb others while they are working."
——Are you thinking she’s getting in the way?
Ning Xiwan smiled: "Don't worry, big brother, I'm very sensible."
She deliberately emphasized the word "sensible", but her eyes met Ning Xiuyuan's gaze directly, without giving in at all.
Ning Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes, seeming a little surprised by her reaction.
Ning Xiuheng suddenly said, "I heard you grew up in an ordinary family?"
Ning Xiwan nodded: "Yes, my adoptive parents are very good to me."
Ning Xiuheng said "Oh" meaningfully: "Then why do you suddenly want to come back?"
——This is just short of asking directly "Are you here for the Ning family's money?"
Ning Xiwan's smile remained unchanged: "The DNA report is out. If I don't come back, will my parents continue to be sad?"
Her tone was sincere, but her eyes were somewhat provocative.
Ning Xiuheng stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled: "Interesting."
Ning Yuanshan interrupted at the right time: "Okay, Xiwan just came home, let her rest first."
Ji Qinglan also quickly tried to smooth things over: "Yes, Xiwan, I'll take you to see your room."
Ning Xiwan nodded obediently and left with Ji Qinglan. The moment she turned around, she caught a glimpse of Ning Xiuheng winking at Ning Xiuyuan with a sneer on his lips.
——Okay, these two brothers are determined not to like her.
