Ji Yuwei never expected that Jiang Nian would completely disregard her humble attempts to curry favor, even in front of her older brother and the others.
He shut her down with just one sentence.
Seeing Jiang Nian's reaction, Ji Yanli said to Ji Yuwei, "Alright, Yuwei, the apartment is closer to your company anyway, which is convenient for your work."
“If you feel that your injured leg makes life inconvenient, then hire a few more caregivers to take care of you. It’s not like our Ji family can’t afford it.”
The misunderstanding about Jiang Nian that day has left Ji Yanli feeling guilty to this day, and he feels heartbroken whenever he thinks of what the girl said back then.
Whether Ji Yuwei did it on purpose or it was a misunderstanding, Ji Yanli only knew one thing.
If it weren't for her, Niannian would never have suffered such injustice.
Ji Yuwei's eyes were filled with resentment.
She bit her lip, still trying to plead: "But big brother..."
Ji Yanli interrupted her directly, his expression cold and stern: "Let's eat. After you finish, I'll have someone take you home."
Jiang Nian didn't even glance at the steamed buns on the table. She just reached for a piece of bread, stood up casually, and said, "I'm going to school now, Uncle and Brother. I'm going to be late."
Ji Yanli immediately changed his expression, softening his tone: "Okay, be careful on the road."
Seeing that his eldest son was clearly siding with Niannian, Ji Linyuan didn't know what to say.
After all, one is the daughter of his savior, and the other is the daughter of his own sister; it wouldn't be good for him to favor either side.

English and Chinese.
The news of last night's instrument competition has spread throughout the entire school.
Jiang Nian and Tang Qiuyue took first and second place, while Jiang Ranran took third place.
The fact that the top three students all belong to Yingzhong High School is something to be proud of.
However, someone also revealed that last night Jiang Ranran spent 100,000 yuan to hire Chen Jiao to cut Tang Qiuyue's cello before the competition. The two were taken away by the police after the competition, which is why they were unable to come to school today.
It was also said that the Jiang family was currently running around trying to get help to prevent Jiang Ranran from going to jail. However, the tax authorities came knocking on the Jiang family's real estate company early in the morning, apparently because the Jiang family had offended some important figure and was about to get into trouble.
The news caused an uproar on the forums, with everyone discussing it.
At noon, Jiang Nian received a call from Grandpa Qin.
I invited her to meet me at Qinyuan Garden in Jiangcheng that evening.
It was fine if we didn't know before, but now that we know Old Master Qin's identity, such an important person has personally invited us several times, so we have to give him face.
Jiang Nian then agreed.
As luck would have it, not long after, Si Boye also called.
A man's casual, deep voice came through the screen, sexy and alluring.
"Are you free tonight, baby? I'd like to take you to meet a friend."
Jiang Nian asked, "Who?"
The only person Jiang Nian knew who could be considered a friend of her boss, Bo Ye, was Fu Jinyi.
But she had already met Fu Jinyi several times, so Si Boye was clearly not talking about him.
“Jinyi and I are childhood friends, but one lives in Beijing and the other has been abroad for the past few years and just returned to China yesterday.”
"It's okay if you don't have time, I just want to introduce you to the people around me."
Jiang Nian then realized that she didn't know much about Si Boye's social circle.
This is simply her personality. She never pries into other people's affairs and has no curiosity whatsoever.
But Si Boye is none other than himself now.
She told Si Boye about her past, and she should also try to understand Si Boye's past.
Jiang Nian said, "I can go see them, but I already have dinner appointments at Qinyuan at 8 pm tonight."
"If there's a time conflict, I might not be able to get there."
"Qinyuan?" Si Boye paused. "It's quite a coincidence that they also chose Qinyuan as their venue and asked us to meet at 7:30."
"Let's go together then. I'll pick you up from school after class. Just let them know and we'll leave when it's time."
"Is this alright?"
Jiang Nian didn't know if this was impolite.
“Of course it doesn’t matter,” Si Boye said with a hint of languor and nonchalance. “I’ve said it before, when I’m with you, you just need to be yourself and do whatever you want.”

7 PM, Qinyuan Garden.
The top restaurants in Jiangcheng exude a low-key luxury that is both extravagant and decadent.
Private rooms are reserved for the powerful and wealthy; ordinary people have no right to make reservations.
"Bo Ye and Jin Yi should be here soon, right?"
The young man who asked the question had messy, unruly hair and was wearing a flashy floral shirt with casually paired beach shorts.
Sitting in this luxurious private room feels completely out of place; I'm practically the epitome of relaxation.
Another man, dressed in a top-tier haute couture suit and exuding elegance, held a cigarette between his fingers: "It should be soon."
He lifted his eyelids slightly, his voice indifferent, "However, why did your sister come along too?"
Qin Ji looked at his younger sister beside him, also looking impatient.
"You know perfectly well that she has had a crush on Bo Ye since she was a child, and just hearing the name Si Bo Ye can make her swoon for ages."
"I heard that if you follow me, you'll have a chance to see Bo Ye. How could I not come? He's like a leech, I can't get rid of him."
"elder brother!"
Qin Xiaoxiao stomped her foot angrily to the side.
Upon hearing Si Boye's name, a blush crept onto her face.
She spent hours meticulously preparing for today, hiring top-notch makeup artists and wearing AN.X's latest custom-made outfit, all to see the man she had been longing for.
Over the years, she has seen so many handsome men of all kinds in Beijing, but she still can't forget the stunning sight of Si Boye when he first appeared in her field of vision as a young boy.
That face was born dazzling, with an aura that was both unrestrained and wicked, irreplaceable.
