Although Jiang Xin lost all reason upon seeing Yan Ling, she had lived alone for many years and retained a sliver of sobriety, so she did not resign immediately.
She started sending out resumes everywhere behind the company's back and also found a part-time job.
When Shu Yuqing received Jiang Xin's message, a hint of disdain was subtly revealed on her otherwise calm face. She thought to herself, "Jiang Xin, you must live well with Yanling, the warmth you longed for in your past life. In this life, you can eat your favorite noodles every day."
That day, Jiang Xin ran into Ye Beichen by chance in the mall. She excitedly rushed up to him, grabbed his arm, and shouted, "Brother!"
Ye Beichen subtly withdrew his arm, narrowing his eyes as he looked at Jiang Xin: "Who are you?"
"I'm Xin Xin, brother, how come you don't recognize me!" Jiang Xin stared at him nervously.
Ye Beichen feigned ignorance and said, "I wouldn't dare answer if you called me 'brother.' I only have one sister. If my mother knew I was randomly acknowledging other sisters, she would be unhappy."
Jiang Xin stood frozen in place, unsure of what expression to make.
But thinking about her situation, Jiang Xin smiled and said to Ye Beichen, "Brother, I want to go see Mom and Dad. After all, they raised me, and it's only right that I go and thank them."
Ye Beichen and Fang Ying exchanged a glance, then Ye Beichen slowly said, "I will pass on your gratitude to them, there's no need for you to come in person. Besides, you have no relation to my family, so just live your own life well from now on."
Seeing that Ye Beichen remained unmoved, a hint of panic flashed across Jiang Xin's face. She stood in front of Ye Beichen and said, "Brother, I know I was wrong, but I was still young back then. I regret it. I miss my parents. I want to go home."
"Go home? Didn't you say the Ye family suffocated you? You finally escaped the Ye family and regained your freedom, why do you want to go back now?"
Ye Beichen wiped the smile off his face and exposed her words.
Jiang Xin's face turned bright red, and she stammered, unable to speak. How did Ye Beichen know what she was saying?
“Jiang Xin, no one can unconditionally tolerate your willfulness. Didn’t you yourself say that my parents are just your adoptive parents? Since there is no blood relation, why do you, Jiang Xin, still want to be a daughter of the Ye family?”
Ye Beichen didn't give her a chance to speak after he finished speaking, and pulled his girlfriend away from the mall.
Watching his departing figure, Jiang Xin felt as if something very important had left her life.
After a busy day, Jiang Xin hadn't even had a chance to catch her breath when Yan Ling's loud voice rang out: "Jiang Xin, I haven't washed my clothes yet."
Jiang Xin responded and hurriedly ran to the bathroom to start washing clothes.
But as she washed, tears started falling uncontrollably.
Recalling her encounter with Ye Beichen today, Jiang Xin bit her lower lip tightly, trying not to cry out.
Ye Beichen was dressed in a high-end custom-made suit, which made him look handsome and elegant. He wore a custom-made high-end watch and his eyes were full of nobility.
His female companion was carrying a new Hermès bag and wearing the latest Cartier outfit; the dazzling pink diamond on her chest stung her eyes.
If she hadn't left the Ye family, these things would have been readily available to her. But the reality is that her wardrobe is full of discounted clothes, and she rarely has any bags that cost more than a thousand yuan.
She did have some jewelry, which were birthday gifts she received when she was at the Ye family's house, but she didn't feel much about them at the time.
But these mundane things she used to look down on are her last resort. If there ever comes a day when she is short of money, these gifts will be her last lifeline.
Jiang Xin was lost in thought and didn't notice the running faucet until the water reached her ankles, which brought her back to her reverie.
She numbly reached out and turned off the tap, without calling Yanling in the living room, and took a mop to clean up the water herself.
Before the bathroom was even cleaned, she heard Yanling call out to her, "Jiang Xin, I'm hungry."
Upon hearing his voice, Jiang Xin quickly responded with an "okay," finished her work in a short time, and then went into the kitchen to cook noodles for Yan Ling.
Yanling looked at the noodles in Jiang Xin's hand and complained, "Why is it clear soup noodles again? I'm so tired of it. Can't you make something else?"
Seeing that he was unhappy, Jiang Xin quickly coaxed him, "I came back late today and didn't have time to buy groceries. I'll make you beef noodles another day."
Yan Ling's expression improved, and she slowly ate her noodles.
