"When you move to a big city and gain more experience, you will change as much as I did."

Ji Ling secretly said "good" in her heart.

Look at her. She took over her sister's identity and didn't show any panic when her identity was questioned. She was able to face it so calmly.

The psychological quality is too strong.

Perhaps she noticed that Ji Ling was looking at her, Wang Ermei's eyes fell on Ji Ling, "Ji Ling, you have changed the most, you are more intelligent and calm, it seems that you have suddenly become very quiet after the college entrance examination."

Ji Ling became alert.

No one noticed her changes, but Wang Ermei did.

Come to think of it, she is a thoughtful person. She can hide her true nature even around her relatives, which shows that her mind is extremely secretive.

There's nothing wrong with noticing changes in her.

Ji Ling raised her eyelids. "I am An Jing. I have seen clearly the fickleness of human nature. After I asked my grandfather to help me find a job but was rejected, I fell seriously ill. I realized that it is better to rely on myself than on others. To sum it up in one sentence, I was hit hard."

She changed the subject and met Wang Ermei's gaze with a smile, "You have changed the most. I remember you didn't talk much during our physical examination, but now you have become so talkative and can liven up the atmosphere. It seems that going to college can really change a person's life. By the way, I persuaded Sanmei to come back, but she said she didn't want to come back because she wanted to review for the college entrance examination. I see that she has been holding back her energy, and I'm afraid she will be admitted to college like us next year."

"Wang Sanmei is also reviewing?" Ma Hui excitedly grabbed Ji Ling's hand, "Oh, this is good news, it's a pity that she is reviewing in the capital, if she was in her hometown, we could be company."

Wang Ermei was obviously shocked by the news brought by Ji Ling. The corners of her eyes slowly straightened and the smile on her face disappeared. "Sanmei is too willful. It's not that easy to repeat a grade, especially in the capital. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

Ji Ling said politely, "What's the problem? If she wants to go to school, I will help her. Studying can change one's destiny, and I also hope that she can change her destiny."

Wang Ermei didn't say anything this time, she just smiled.

Tian Jing and his wife had already ordered their dishes. As soon as the waiter left, Tian Jing warned Liu Zili in a low voice, "No matter what you think of Ji Ling, I advise you to hold back."

Liu Zili took out a cigarette and lit it. He blew out a puff of smoke and glanced at Tian Jing with a half-smile, "I didn't say a word to her just now. You are so narrow-minded."

"I've already given you advice. If you seek death, there's nothing I can do." After saying this, Tian Jing turned around with the corners of her mouth raised and walked towards the table with a smile.

Liu Zili sneered and whispered, "Hypocritical woman."

Then he slowly followed.

Tian Jing smiled and pulled a chair to sit down. "Although Ma Hui is reviewing at home, she usually stays in the city. The three of you are so far away from home. The capital is good, but it always lacks the taste of home. The dishes I ordered just now are mostly specialties from our hometown. You can eat more later. Don't be polite with me."

"Don't worry, you are a salaried person now, while people like us are still supported by our families. We won't be polite to you." Ma Hui said with a smile.

Dong Manhua thanked him shyly, "Thank you for your help."

Wang Ermei smiled and drank a sip of tea. She glanced at Liu Zili who was walking over. Seeing Liu Zili smiling, she took over the conversation and said, "Yes, Ji Ling, it really surprised everyone that you could come back. Did you come back by yourself?"

"I came back by myself." Ji Ling said.

Liu Zili sat down on the other side of Tian Jing, with Ma Hui on his right. He leaned towards Ji Ling and said, "It's not good to marry far away. It's hard to go back to your parents' home. Look, Tian Jing, we live in the front and back yards with my mother-in-law's family. We can go back anytime we want, and my in-laws don't mind."

Ma Hui immediately protected Ji Ling, "How many people can marry close to home like Tian Jing? And how many families are as nice as yours, who have no problem with their daughter-in-law going back to her parents' home? I've heard of many mothers-in-law who are difficult to serve and give their daughters-in-law the cold shoulder when they go back to her parents' home."

Tian Jing's smile froze for a moment. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. It's hard for her to go home even if she lives nearby, especially during festivals."

Ma Hui's face darkened and she looked at Tian Jing.

The first few sentences were reasonable, but why did the latter part of the sentence sound strange? Isn't the festival referring to Ji Ling? Ji Ling looked at Tian Jing with a smile, "Are you talking about me?"

Everyone present heard it, but according to their thinking, anyone else would pretend to be confused and ignore the conversation. After all, if the conversation was digressed, it would make everyone embarrassed.

Tian Jing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Ji Ling, you think too much. I just thought that this topic was inappropriate. You are newly married and it is your first year. It would make you feel embarrassed if people bring up this topic, so I want to stop talking about it."

Ji Ling nodded, "I was overthinking that, sorry."

Then, she said, "I went home for the New Year. My parents-in-law asked me to come back. They saw that I was pregnant and were worried that I would miss home after getting married. The train tickets were already bought, and I couldn't refuse, so I came back. As for your concerns about your parents-in-law having an opinion, there is no need to worry. My parents-in-law treat me like their own child. They are all high-level intellectuals, well-educated, and there are no such things to worry about."

Ma Hui had previously said that Liu Zilii's mother was capable of making a fuss, and now Ji Ling's words were slammed harshly in Tian Jing's face.

"Ji Ling is the happiest one among us. She did well in the exams and got married well. Her family loves her very much. We all know that Ji Ling is like a little princess since she was a child." Wang Ermei said with a smile, "Let's not worry about her. No matter who has a bad life, Ji Ling will not have a bad life either. The dishes are here, let's eat. I'm hungry."

Even though Tian Jing was unwilling, she put on a smile. Not wanting to be laughed at by others, she arranged for everyone to have dinner.

However, because of what happened before, Ma Hui didn't say anything and relied on Wang Ermei and Tian Jing to support her. Dong Manhua didn't like to talk, and Ji Ling just ate, whispering a few words to Ma Hui from time to time.

The meal started at two in the afternoon and ended before four.

After walking out of the restaurant, Ji Ling invited Ma Hui and Dong Manhua, "Do you two have anything to do later? Come to my place and sit down."

"Let's go. I'll take you home." Ma Hui took her arm.

Dong Manhua was older than all of them, and she felt that Ji Ling attracted her, so she did not refuse.
