Today is the day Yan Yinran returns to the Bai family. Last night, Li Shuwen and Yan Youting prepared many things for her to take home, and her five older brothers also transferred pocket money to her. Yan Yinran slept with Li Shuwen last night, and they talked all night long, reminiscing about their eighteen-year mother-daughter relationship, which will end tomorrow.
After lunch, Yan Yinran prepared to leave for the Bai family. Her family had arranged a driver and a car for her.
When Yan Xiluo returned to this home, the driver always picked her up; her parents and brothers never did. So, now that Yan Yinran is going back to the Bai family, her parents and brothers naturally didn't personally take her back; they just saw her off to the car.
"Ranran, let your dad know you're safe when you get there."
"Ranran, take good care of yourself over there. Call Mom if anything happens."
"Ranran, I'll leave you here."
"Ranran, come home to play when you have time."
Yan Yinran hugged everyone goodbye, tears streaming down her face. She knew that going back home today meant starting a life of hardship, and she didn't know when she would be able to return. Seven-tenths of her sadness stemmed from her reluctance to leave behind the wealth and luxury of this place, and only three-tenths from her longing to leave her family.
"I know. I'll let everyone know I'm safe when I arrive. Mom, Dad, brothers, Ranran really doesn't want to leave you."
Yan Yinran burst into tears, one tear after another falling from her eyes. Everyone saw this and offered words of comfort.
"Alright, Ranran, it's almost time. We should get on the bus, or we'll be too late to get back." Li Shuwen took a tissue to wipe away her tears and tidied her hair.
"good."
Yan Yinran got into the car, and everyone waved goodbye. The driver who took her away was Uncle Ye from the Yan family.
It takes three hours to drive from here to the Bai family. The Bai family is an ordinary family in the countryside. Only Bai Jingquan, Yan Yinran's biological father, is left in the Bai family. Yan Yinran's biological mother died suddenly from an illness not long after giving birth to her.
Bai Jingquan raised Bai Ling alone for five years before marrying his current wife, Li Qingyan. Bai Jingquan loved his daughter Bai Ling, but he also hated her because of her birth; his beloved wife left him shortly after giving birth to her.
He was always indifferent and distant towards Bai Ling. After marrying Li Qingyan, Bai Ling's life became even more difficult. Li Qingyan dumped all the dirty and hard work on her, and she wouldn't eat until she finished, and she would be beaten. If she told her father, Bai Ling would be beaten even more severely by her stepmother, but Bai Jingquan remained unaware of his daughter's abuse, and Li Qingyan always treated her well on the surface.
All these years, Li Qingyan hasn't given birth to a child for Bai Jingquan; it's probably karma.
The car gradually left the Yan family villa, the wealthy neighborhood, and the city. After exiting the highway, the car entered a mountain road. The winding mountain road made Yan Yinran feel nauseous. Spoiled and pampered, she had never been to such a place before.
What kind of awful place is this? It's all mountains, the roads are so winding, and they're full of potholes! Yan Yinran was extremely agitated; she was going crazy!
"Uncle Ye, how much longer until we arrive?"
"Miss Ranran, it'll be quick, just half an hour left."
Yan Yinran's lips twitched. Wasn't this going to kill her? She closed her eyes and pinched her nose, which made her feel a little better.
On the other side
Yan Xiluo knew that Yan Yinran was returning to the Bai family today, and her parents and brothers were reluctant to let her go and had a lot to say, so she left them alone. She herself hadn't been back to the Lin family for a long time and planned to go back today to see her adoptive parents.
At the Lin family home, Yan Xiluo got out of the car carrying a bunch of bags and went inside.
"Miss Luo Luo!" The servants at the door greeted Yan Xiluo as she returned.
"Miss Luo Luo is back?" Aunt Shan saw Yan Xiluo carrying bags and quickly took the bags from her.
"Yes, I came back to see Mom and Dad. How have they been feeling lately?"
“That’s fine. I’ll go upstairs and call the husband and wife down. Miss Luo Luo, please have some juice first.”
Aunt Shan brought a glass of juice to Yan Xiluo and then went upstairs.
Hearing that Yan Xiluo had returned home, Lin Zhengzhong and Yang Mei happily rushed downstairs. Before going downstairs, they called out to Lin Chenxuan, saying that Bai Ling had changed her name after returning home.
"Luo Luo, you're finally back to see your parents?!" Yang Mei excitedly ran over and hugged Yan Xiluo.
"I've been quite busy lately, so I'm only just getting back to see you all now."
"Mom thought you'd forgotten about me and your dad!" Yang Mei let go of Yan Xiluo and took her hand.
"Hehehe, your mother is always talking about you at home."
"You're one to talk, but you yourself are always saying when my Luo Luo will come back, and that she might not want us anymore," Yang Mei complained to Lin Zhengzhong.
Yan Xiluo's eyes welled up with tears as she listened to her adoptive parents' conversation. "I will come back to see you often in the future. You raised me for eighteen years, how could I forget you?!"
At this moment, Lin Chenxuan came downstairs. "Little sister, welcome back." Lin Chenxuan smiled at her.
Lin Chenxuan at this moment was completely different from when she first returned. Perhaps it was because her parents' love had influenced and changed her. Now she no longer wore heavy makeup, but light makeup, her hair was dyed back to black and styled in big waves, and her fair skin was complemented by a light cream-colored long dress, giving her a gentle and lovely appearance.
In the Lin family, she no longer needed to pretend for anyone; she could simply be her most authentic self and feel the love her parents gave her. Hearing about Lin Chenxuan's experiences in the Bai family, Lin Zhengzhong and Yang Mei were heartbroken, feeling that her stepmother was truly a terrible person.
"Sister, you look especially beautiful now!" Yan Xiluo couldn't help but exclaim as she looked at the person in front of her.
"Thank you for the compliment. Your parents missed you so much while you were away. Why don't you stay tonight? Your brother heard you were coming back and is on his way home."
You can tell that Lin Chenxuan's expression is kind and she is genuinely kind to her.
"Okay, then I won't go back tonight. Oh, by the way, I brought back gifts for you all."
When she was choosing gifts for her biological parents, she also chose gifts for her adoptive parents. She didn't show favoritism to either set of parents, and she naturally cherished those who were good to her.
"Mom and Dad, sister, these are clothes I designed myself, and also clothes for my brother."
Yan Xiluo distributed the gift bags containing clothes to them. Lin's parents knew she was a designer, but they didn't know the extent of her skill. They also didn't interfere with Yan Xiluo's studies; they only wanted their daughter to be happy and didn't want to put too much pressure on her.
"Qianxi brand?"
Yangmei saw the brand logo on the bag. Is her daughter a designer there? This brand has unique designs, good quality, and the prices for most styles aren't particularly high. Yangmei quite likes buying them to wear.
"Yes."
Yang Mei took out the clothes. This style is so beautiful, but I didn't see this style in the store yesterday.
"Luo Luo, is this your new model? Or a limited edition? I didn't see this one when I went to the store yesterday."
"Mom, this was specially made for you, and it's the only one of its kind. Dad, my brother, and my sister's are also one of a kind. No one else will be wearing the same thing as you."
So Mom also buys Qianxi's clothes! I was too busy to notice before.
"Luo Luo, so you're the designer Qian Meng? Only she can design limited editions." Yang Mei was astonished; she had never managed to buy a single limited edition item...
"Yes, my dear mother, are you satisfied with the clothes?"
"Satisfied! Satisfied!" Yang Mei nodded excitedly.
Lin Zhengzhong doesn't pay attention to fashion, so he naturally couldn't understand the conversation between the mother and daughter, and he was even less aware of the renowned reputation of designer Qianmeng. Lin Chenxuan used to live in the village, so she naturally had no experience in this field.
"This suit looks great. The quality is even better than the ones I had custom-made at the men's clothing store, and the cut is also very nice."
Although Lin Zhengzhong doesn't pay attention to fashion, he can still distinguish between good and bad, and this quality is really good.
"This dress is so ethereal!"
Lin Chenxuan didn't know what words to use to describe this dress. It was a light blue tulle dress, and wearing it gave her the feeling of a princess on the run!
"I'm glad everyone likes it!"
Then Yan Xiluo gave Yang Mei the beauty and skin care pills, beauty device, and skin care products.
The massage chair, tea, and health pills were given to Lin Zhengzhong.
She wanted to treat both sets of parents equally and without discrimination.
"Sister, I don't know what you like, but I've prepared a laptop for you. It's a special custom model, just for you. You'll need it when school starts."
This made Lin Chenxuan feel flattered. Someone with no blood relation to her was treating her better than the Bai family couple back then, which warmed her heart.
"Thank you, sister. I'm so surprised. I didn't expect to receive such a special gift besides clothes."
“You said that day that this is still my home, and my parents and brother are still mine. So now that you’re back, you’re also my family, my sister.”
You treat me sincerely and I will repay you sincerely. Yan Xiluo felt from the bottom of her heart that having an older sister was pretty good.
Lin Zhengzhong and Yang Mei were very gratified to see how well the two children got along. The Lin family was filled with happiness at that moment, and this love subtly changed Lin Chenxuan as well...
