She took two steps forward, held Ji Ling's hand tightly, and before she could open her mouth, tears started falling.

Ji Ling comforted her, "Don't cry, tell me slowly what happened?"

After hearing this, Wang Ermei's tears flowed even more.

"Let's go to my house first." Ji Ling held her hand, looked up and saw Jiang Yihang was still there, and said to him, "Thank you for today."

"You're welcome. Just tell me if you have anything to say." Jiang Yihang nodded and left.

Ji Ling took Wang Ermei to her home. She cried for a long time along the way. After entering the house, Wang Ermei calmed down. It was during her narration that Ji Ling realized what had happened.

Wang Ermei and her sister Wang Sanmei are twins. They took the college entrance examination in the same year. Wang Ermei was admitted to the Capital University of Science and Technology, majoring in industrial and civil engineering. For the Wang family, this was the only college student in the family, and it was a great joy to have her admitted to the capital, so a banquet was held at home.

As a result, just before going to school, Wang Sanmei stole Wang Ermei's admission letter and went to college pretending to be Wang Ermei.

When her family found out, they were afraid that Wang Ermei would not be able to go to school because of this. Her parents knelt down in front of her and even threatened to die. Wang Ermei had no choice but to run away from home in anger.

The money she had was only enough to get to the capital. She originally wanted to find a job here, but she didn't find one. She was working as a laborer in a restaurant and was bullied. Today, there was a fire in the restaurant, so she sneaked out.

I was unfamiliar with the place, so I thought of Ji Ling and came here.

Seeing that her clothes were dirty and her hair smelled sour, Ji Ling was still wondering what had happened. After hearing this, even though she had lived two lifetimes, she was still shocked.

"Take a shower first, I'll make something to eat, and then you can take a nap. If there's anything, we can talk about it after you've rested. This is my home, you don't have to be polite." Ji Ling turned around and took out a set of pajamas that she wasn't wearing, turned around and stuffed it into Wang Ermei's hand, and pushed her to the bathroom door, "Go in, since you can find me, it means you treat me as a friend, and there's no need to be so polite between friends."

Wang Ermei's eyes became wet again. She nodded vigorously and went into the bathroom.

Because Ji Ling was going to school the next day, her family didn't prepare much food. Wang Ermei was so thin that she looked unrecognizable. Ji Ling went downstairs while she was taking a shower and bought some meat and eggs.

I cooked rice in the rice cooker, made braised pork and fried an egg.

Wang Ermei didn't come out for a long time, and Ji Ling didn't urge her. Instead, she put the bowl away, looked out the window and thought about how to deal with Wang Ermei's matter.

The Wang family has obviously stood on Wang Sanmei's side. The two sisters look alike, so it's useless for Wang Ermei to make a fuss until college.

From the fact that Wang Ermei went to the capital to look for a job instead of going to the university to find Wang Sanmei, it can be seen that Wang Ermei has compromised with her family.

So what we need to do now is to resettle Wang Ermei.

Thinking that there was no one trustworthy in her family's factory, Ji Ling felt that the appearance of Wang Ermei was also an opportunity, but whether it would work or not depended on Wang Ermei's choice.

There was a noise in the living room and Ji Ling walked out.

Wang Ermei stood at the bathroom door in a reserved manner, "Ji Ling, I will wash your clothes for you. If... I have money, I will give you a new set."

"Okay, it's just a set of clothes. If you do this again, I'll be angry." Ji Ling smiled and asked her to come over for dinner. She asked Wang Ermei to get the bowls and chopsticks, and she went to serve the meat.

If she really treated Wang Ermei like a guest and didn't let her do anything, she would feel uncomfortable.

After Ji Ling did this, Wang Ermei did feel more at ease.

After sitting down, Ji Ling kept picking up food for her. Wang Ermei tried to control herself at first, but finally she started to eat it all in big mouthfuls.

When she talked about what happened in the hotel again, she no longer cried.

"They only gave me one meal a day with leftovers, and they didn't let me eat enough, for fear that I would run away. If I talked back, they would beat me."

"Is their restaurant angry?"

"They were secretly restricting your freedom in the first place. They don't dare to come after you again. Maybe they're afraid that you'll come after them." Ji Ling thought for a moment, "I'll go with you to call the police tomorrow afternoon."

"Forget it. Even if I go, they won't admit it. I'll just take it as my bad luck. I'll accept it." Wang Ermei ate three bowls of rice in a row. After putting down her chopsticks, she also regained her fighting spirit. "When God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, and his body hungry. I'll take this as a test for me, making me stronger and stronger."

Ji Ling smiled and said, "I see you are in high spirits. Do you have any ideas about the future?"

"I want to stay in the capital. Even if it's hard to find a job, I'm not afraid. I want to carve out a path for myself. I want to become strong and make them regret what they did to me."

"Maybe your parents have regretted it now. They must be looking for you everywhere."

"No, they never looked for me. They even told the villagers that I was dead." Wang Ermei paused and sniffed. "After I got out, I called Dong Manhua and she told me."

Dong Manhua applied to the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the School of Architecture in Province H, so it was indeed easy to find her.

Ji Ling listened and felt uncomfortable.

"If you've made up your mind, I can help you. You don't have to look for a job outside. My eldest brother opened a soap factory and is in need of people. I can bring him to hire you directly."

Wang Ermei bit her lip and said, "Ji Ling, thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to go back to Taipei. I want to stay in the capital."

"Of course I want to stay in the capital. I want to open a store here to sell the products from my eldest brother's factory. Outsiders can't trust it, so it's better to have you."

Wang Ermei's eyes sparkled, "Can I?"

"Of course you can. You graduated from high school and were admitted to college. By the way, your sister took your place in college. Is the ID you are carrying now in her name?"

Wang Ermei lowered her head in shame and said, "Yes, my name is Wang Sanmei now."

"It's just a name. If you don't like it, you can change it later." Ji Ling didn't dwell on it. "Then what should I call you? Ermei or Sanmei?"

"Sanmei, right?" Wang Ermei, no, it should be Wang Sanmei now, curled her lips coldly, "She despises her own identity, so I will make her want to take it back in the future."

"Okay, three Mei is three Mei, one more Mei is better." Ji Ling said, "You can live here. I don't come back during the weekdays because I'm in school. I only come back on weekends. You can go out and look for places with a lot of people and shops for rent."

"The rent is expensive, right?" Wang Sanmei asked worriedly, "We can rent a cheaper house."

"This is my home. I'm married. This is my husband's house."

"Get married?"

Ji Ling tilted her head, "You don't know?"

Wang Sanmei shook her head, "I haven't heard your family mention anything about you getting married?"

Ji Ling understood and said with a smile, "It's just getting married, there's nothing much to say, and he's busy with work, so the wedding hasn't been held yet."

Even though she didn't like that family, Ji Ling still wanted to protect Ji Yong's face.

Wang Sanmei nodded, her eyes shining.

Ji Ling took her to the guest room and briefly talked about Zhu Weidong. Hearing that the other party had such good conditions, Wang Sanmei was envious. Seeing that she was exhausted, Ji Ling did not say much. Before going to bed, she stuffed five yuan into her pocket for her living expenses. Wang Sanmei disagreed, and finally she accepted it after being told that it would be deducted from her salary.
