Jiang Xin drove back to the Ye family home feeling dejected. As soon as she entered, she saw that her brother had also returned. He was also working at Chenguang, but the two siblings were in different departments.
Ye Beichen rarely saw his younger sister with a sullen expression, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xin forced a smile: "It's nothing, I probably just didn't sleep well."
"Xinxin, go to bed early tonight. Getting enough sleep is very important, so try not to stay up late!"
Shu Yuqing gave her daughter some concerned instructions.
Seeing her mother worried about her health, Jiang Xin felt even more sad. In her previous life, her mother didn't like her; her favorite child was Mingyue.
If Mom also had memories of her past life and knew that Mingyue was in danger, how heartbroken she would be.
Ever since Jiang Xin came here and enjoyed the love of the whole family, she always felt like a dishonorable thief who had stolen everything that belonged to Mingyue.
The next day, Shu Yuqing caught a cold and, with a thick nasal voice, instructed the maid to make soup for her daughter. Jiang Xin sighed inwardly, realizing that her mother wasn't a superhero; she could get sick too.
Both she and Jiang Xin believed that their mother was immune to all poisons and would never get sick.
When Shu Yuqing saw that her daughter had gotten up, she asked her with concern how she slept last night and if she was still feeling unwell.
Jiang Xin felt a slight pang in her heart. Her mother was sick herself, yet she was still worried about whether she had slept well.
If it were her past life, she would naturally not be worthy of her mother's love. But in this life, she will no longer misunderstand her mother's good intentions, nor will she be blind and think that her mother wants to control her.
"Mom, have you taken your medicine? My brother and I aren't children anymore; we know how to take care of ourselves. But you, if you're sick, just go and rest properly. Don't worry about these trivial matters."
“My Xin Xin has grown up and knows how to care for her mother.”
Shu Yuqing said happily to the maid.
"Of course I feel sorry for you, Miss. A daughter is closest to her mother."
The maid's words made Shu Yuqing's lips curl into a smile. She had long regarded Jiang Xin as her own daughter, and of course hoped that her daughter would love her as her mother in the same way.
Then he thought to himself, "My daughter is so thoughtful, unlike that brat Ye Beichen, who doesn't know how to care about people at all."
If Ye Beichen knew what his mother was thinking, he would definitely cry foul.
Mom was perfectly fine last night. He hasn't even come downstairs this morning and has no idea she has a cold. How can he not care about his mother?
Seeing that her mother was still instructing the servants to prepare food, Jiang Xin deliberately put on a stern face and said to her mother, "You should go back to your room and rest. I'll stay here and watch over things, okay? If you don't listen to me, I'll get angry!"
"Alright, alright, Mom can go back and rest. You don't need to stay here. I've already told everyone. There's soup for you today."
"Thank you, Mom."
Jiang Xin coaxed Shu Yuqing to rest, while she returned to her room to start working.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Xin rubbed her tired eyes and got up to open the door.
Ye Beichen stood outside the door, looking at his sister with an awkward smile on his face: "I have something to tell you."
"Come in."
Jiang Xin invited her brother into the house. Judging from his awkward manner, could he have a new romance?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xin had a complicated expression. Her brother was really neglecting his duties, spending all his time dating instead of working properly.
Moreover, his sister-in-law is Fang Ying, who has been busy with her sister's affairs lately and has forgotten about her brother!
Seeing his sister's expression, Ye Beichen said uneasily, "I've met a girl I really like, and I'd like to ask you for your advice."
Jiang Xin: "..."
She didn't want to hear it.
Seeing that his sister didn't respond, Ye Beichen wasn't annoyed. He continued, "I attended a business dinner a few days ago and met a girl there."
"Whose daughter is she?"
Jiang Xin narrowed her eyes. She didn't want to hear her brother's thoughts; she just wanted to know what the woman's name was.
"I haven't had a chance to ask his name yet."
Jiang Xin: "..."
Ye Beichen saw the deep disdain his sister felt for him in her eyes.
He explained, "She arrived near the end of the party. I brushed past her as I was leaving, but I didn't have a chance to ask her name."
"Oh...so what do you want to ask?"
"I want to ask you if you know that girl."
Jiang Xin: "???"
I've never even met her in person, how could she possibly know me!
"Brother, please don't force me to do something I don't want to do."
"I just thought that you're quite familiar with the girls in the industry, what if you know them?"
"Even if I knew them, I wouldn't know which one you met last night! I think you're just making things difficult for me!"
Ye Beichen thought his sister's words made sense. He thought for a moment and then discussed it with her: "How about this, there's a charity auction the day after tomorrow, and I think she'll probably go too. You can come with me then."
"good."
Jiang Xin agreed. She had to go and check, lest her brother bring home some more demons and monsters.
