Jiang Ning stayed with Yan Keyi, chatting with Jiang Hong and Zhu Yiyun. As they gradually warmed up to each other, Yan Keyi's initial awkwardness towards them slowly disappeared.
Most importantly, because of Jiang Ning, Yan Keyi can feel at ease.
At first, Yan Keyi was quite afraid of Jiang Hong because he seemed like the kind of person who never smiled, so she subconsciously thought he was fierce. But in reality, he was just a henpecked husband and a doting father.
As long as Zhu Yiyun and Jiang Ning treat her well, Jiang Hong's position in the family is already established.
"Sir, Madam, Miss, and young lady, dinner is ready."
The group was chatting happily when Aunt Liu had already prepared dinner.
Zhu Yiyun already knew that Jiang Ning and Yan Keyi had been running around all afternoon, and worried that they were hungry, so she quickly went to get them food.
"Xiao Ke, your Aunt Liu's cooking is amazing. Xiao Ning grew up eating her food. You should try a few more bites."
Perhaps having a new daughter has made her forget about her old one.
Zhu Yiyun pulled Yan Keyi to the dining table, invited her to sit down, and first served her a bowl of soup to warm her stomach.
Yan Keyi wanted to turn around and look at Jiang Ning, but she couldn't resist Zhu Yiyun's enthusiasm and had no way to break free.
In addition, she really couldn't bear to break free from this hard-won maternal love.
Yan Keyi used to think that home was wherever her family was, but she was abandoned by that family. But now, Yan Keyi feels that home is wherever Jiang Ning is.
After a bowl of hot soup, my stomach felt warm, and more importantly, it felt like some empty space in my heart had been filled.
"It tastes so good! You should have some too, sister."
When there was something delicious, Yan Keyi instinctively poured a bowl for Jiang Ning, wanting to share it with her.
But because she didn't pay attention to the temperature of the utensils, she almost got burned, and Yan Keyi awkwardly stuck out her tongue. But here, no one would criticize her for being "clumsy," they would only feel sorry for her, but also think she was very cute.
"Why bother calling her? She's got hands, let her do it herself."
Although Yan Keyi repeatedly claimed that she was fine, Zhu Yiyun still asked Aunt Liu to bring some ointment and apply a thin layer.
"Ms. Zhu, aren't you going a bit too far? I feel like I'm being a bit superfluous."
Seeing that Zhu Yiyun's favoritism was becoming more and more outrageous, and that Yan Keyi hadn't even wanted to get burned, why did she feel like she was the culprit?
Yan Keyi didn't actually know much about Jiang Ning's past. She thought Jiang Ning was just busy with work and didn't come home often. But seeing that the two were about to "argue" because of her, Yan Keyi quickly came out to fetch some water.
"My sister is the most important. Without my sister, my mother and I wouldn't have the relationship we have now."
As she spoke, Yan Keyi ladled out another bowl of soup and handed it to Zhu Yiyun.
"Mom and my sister have a good relationship, that's why they talk like that. Mom also drinks."
Thinking that she had already been serving water, it wouldn't be right to forget Jiang Hong, so Yan Keyi also served Jiang Hong a bowl of soup and handed it to her.
After being coaxed by Yan Keyi, everyone was happy.
Zhu Yiyun, in particular, had the most complicated feelings.
Since Jiang Ning came out and had a falling out with her family, this family has never been so lively.
In fact, if it weren't for her illness, and if Zhu Yiyun hadn't been unable to bear missing her daughter and had taken the initiative to back down, they might have remained deadlocked for even longer.
Even though that incident is over, the time they spent apart had already made Jiang Ning less close to them than before.
As Jiang Ning got older, she became less close to her parents. After what happened, even though she felt a little disappointed in Jiang Ning, Zhu Yiyun only dared to keep it to herself and never said it out loud.
But now, with Yan Keyi as the link, everything seems to have become harmonious.
Thinking about it this way, Zhu Yiyun felt even more that what she did today was absolutely right.
When Yan Keyi filmed the last few scenes of "The Long Spear," she had already lost a lot of weight, and Jiang Ning was worried about how to help her gain it back. Now, there's no need to worry anymore.
Because Aunt Liu's cooking skills were indeed very good, and because Ms. Zhu thought she was mistreating Yan Keyi because she saw how thin she was, she fed Yan Keyi like crazy.
If Yan Keyi continues to eat more, she should be able to recover gradually, right?
After dinner, the family snuggled up on the sofa to watch TV and chat.
Jiang Hong was handling some work-related matters on the side. However, he seemed to be constantly paying attention to the movements outside the door.
Jiang Ning had noticed that her father seemed a bit off, but since Yan Keyi had slumped onto her shoulder after eating, Jiang Ning couldn't make any big movements.
"Ding-dong."
As soon as the doorbell rang, Jiang Hong rushed over immediately.
It's important to know that Jiang Hong isn't just someone who never shows his emotions; his behavior is the same. When have they ever seen him so anxious? Zhu Yiyun and Jiang Ning were quite surprised to see this.
Jiang Hong came back carrying a stack of things. Jiang Ning originally thought they were his work-related items, but he ended up walking up to Yan Keyi instead.
"Xiao Ke, I, your dad, don't have much to give you. This is a house and a car, I hope it will make things easier for you. The house is near your school, you can move in when school starts."
Even Zhu Yiyun hadn't expected Jiang Hong to pull such a stunt.
While Zhu Yiyun had no problem with Jiang Hong giving Yan Keyi a gift, she couldn't say much about his taste. It wasn't cheap or lacking in thought, but it was definitely not very appealing.
Jiang Hong gave her such a generous gift, and Yan Keyi really didn't dare to accept it. Although she said she would call them Mom and Dad, even if they were her biological parents, this gift was still too expensive. Yan Keyi felt she couldn't bear it.
However, when Yan Keyi tried to decline, Jiang Ning readily accepted the offer for her.
"Don't be polite with Dad. Just accept it. He's not short of money anyway, so it's nothing to him."
Although Yan Keyi lived with him, and he could take her out whenever she wanted, Jiang Ning didn't want to offend Jiang Hong by thinking of giving her a gift for their first meeting, so he accepted the gift on Yan Keyi's behalf.
Even if Yan Keyi doesn't lack anything, it's still acceptable to keep her as an asset.
Seeing Jiang Ning's indulgent smile and Jiang Hong's subtle overtures, Yan Keyi reluctantly accepted.
Holding this gift, she felt a heavy weight in her heart.
