After getting in the car, Jiang Yan discovered that there was a strange man sitting in the passenger seat, who was about forty years old.

He leaned sideways and bowed respectfully, "Hello, young lady. I am Uncle Chen, the butler. The master asked me to take you home."

Jiang Yan nodded at him, "Uncle Chen...please take me back to the Heyi Community on Jiangyuan Road first."

She returned to the cabin where she had only been for a few hours, taking with her a few clothes and necessities.

The Bai family lives in the most prosperous and most expensive villa area in the imperial capital. All those who live here are wealthy families.

Jiang Yan's goal has never changed. Since there is no way to return to reality for the time being, he can only take it one step at a time. This trip to the Bai family is just to find a backer.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan smiled sarcastically. She used to have a great backer, but now she has to be cautious after being reborn. Jiang Yan looked out the window for a long time and suddenly said, "It's going to rain tomorrow."

Uncle Chen thought she was talking to him and immediately replied, "Yes, Miss, the weather forecast says there will be heavy rain tomorrow, so the chairman asked me to pick you up in advance."

"How long has Uncle Chen been in the Bai family?"

Chen Bin hesitated for a while, "I came here a year after Madam got married. At that time, Madam was already more than seven months pregnant. Although it was hard, her face was full of happy smiles. When you count, I often hugged you when you were a child."

"Oh."

Chen Bin was stunned. He thought Jiang Yan would be curious about what kind of person her mother was. But the person in the back seat closed his eyes and looked completely uninterested.

He has been with Bai Wenyao for more than ten years and has seen all kinds of people and all kinds of situations, but it is really strange that he is unable to understand a little girl.

The car arrived at the door in less than half an hour. What Jiang Yan didn't expect was that Bai Wenyao would be waiting at the door to greet her.

"Sangsang is back. Are you tired from the journey? Dad has asked someone to prepare a midnight snack for you. Do you want to eat something first?"

His attentiveness made Jiang Yan very uncomfortable, and Jiang Yan replied coldly, "I'm not hungry, can you show me around the house first?"

The word "home" pleased Bai Wenyao. He walked half a step faster than Jiang Yan and introduced the furnishings of the Bai family to her bit by bit.

The villa has three floors, and there is a cobblestone path when entering from the courtyard gate. The Bai family is exactly as she imagined, with white marble pillars at the four corners, marble floors, gorgeous crystal pendant lights, and expensive black fragrant wood tables. The indoor and outdoor scenes blend together, and the restaurant connects north and south. It is a decoration style that combines simplicity and splendor. It can be seen that Bai Wenyao has a good eye.

"Your room is on the second floor. Jingjing lives across from you, but she has to stay in the hospital for a few days before she can come back."

"Uncle Chen, you also know them. This is Aunt Qian. They are a couple and have both been at home for more than ten years. You can ask them if you have any questions."

Jiang Yan withdrew his gaze and came to his own room.

Bai Wenyao pushed open the door and said, "Sangsang, this is the room that Dad prepared specially for you. I don't know if you like it or not."

Bai Wenyao specially vacated this room and renovated it. In just two days, he turned the guest room into his daughter's boudoir. Not only are all the daily necessities complete, but even the cloakroom is filled with all kinds of brand-name clothes.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan finally smiled. She finally didn't have to wear those boring clothes anymore.

"I've always wanted to ask, why do you always call me Sangsang?" Jiang Yan guessed, "Is it my original name?"

Talking about this is equivalent to bringing up Bai Wenyao's past.

He said in a deep voice, "Your original name was Bai Sangjin, and this name was given to you by your mother. I wanted to give you another name at that time, but Ah Ying insisted that the one she gave was better."

"Bai Sangjin..." Jiang Yan murmured, "It sounds very nice."

"Or, change your name back some other day."

He thought that since he had found her, his daughter couldn't continue to use the surname of a strange old woman.

Jiang Yan shook her head and refused. "No, I've been using the name Jiang Yan for more than ten years and I'm used to it. Besides, it's just a name. If my last name isn't Bai, does that mean I'm not your daughter?"

Bai Wenyao looked at her with satisfaction. Her appearance and personality were exactly the same as Jiang Ying's. When he first met Jiang Ying, he was her age, in the prime of life.

He suddenly said with emotion, "I saw the calligraphy you wrote on the variety show. Ah Ying's calligraphy back then was also amazing. I still have her old stuff. If you want to see it, I'll give it to you later."

Jiang Yan agreed, packed her luggage and went downstairs to get some water, and happened to run into Cao Mo who had just returned from the hospital. The moment she met her eyes, Jiang Yan was ready to fight with Bai Wenyao's second-married wife.

Bai Wenyao was holding a box in his hand. When he saw the two people in the living room, he said, "Are you back? This is Sangsang. Sangsang, this is Jingjing's mother. She will also be your mother in the future. She will treat you very well."

Not necessarily. Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Hello, Aunt Cao."

Cao Mo ignored her and softly climbed onto Bai Wenyao's arm, "Hubby, Jingjing's injury has improved a lot. The doctor said she can be taken home the day after tomorrow to recuperate."

Bai Wenyao nodded perfunctorily, "I understand. Sangsang is also my daughter. You must treat her like you treat Jingjing in the future. Do you understand?"

"Oh, I know, I know. You are really something. You didn't even tell me in advance that Xiao Jiang was coming. I didn't even have time to prepare a gift for him."

Xiao Jiang…is this a reminder that she is an outsider?

Jiang Yan stared at her dimly, then smiled grimly, "It's okay. I think the necklace on Aunt Cao's neck is very pleasing to my eyes. I just don't know if you are willing to give it to a junior like me."

"Ah... this is old and not in good condition. Auntie will buy you a new one later."

Cao Mo's face twisted for a moment. Bai Wenyao never liked to buy expensive jewelry for her, let alone give her too much pocket money. She had tried every possible means to persuade Bai Wenyao to buy this necklace for more than a month. It cost her more than two million yuan, and one million of it was her own savings! She wanted it, it was bullshit!

But Bai Wenyao didn't remember any of this. He said impatiently, "Alright, alright, it's just a necklace. If Sangsang likes it, just give it to her. Why would a woman like you wear a necklace when you stay at home every day? I think this necklace is more suitable for a young girl like Sangsang."

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow. She didn't expect Bai Wenyao to be so good at pulling people down. He insulted Cao Mo so badly with just two sentences.

Without waiting for her consent, Jiang Yan lifted her hair and said sincerely: "Thank you, Aunt Cao. I have heard from Jingjing before that Aunt Cao is warm and generous. It is true that seeing is believing. I believe that Aunt Cao will treat me well in the future just like she treats my sister."

Cao Mo's fists were clenched until they turned white. She wanted to resist for a while longer, but Bai Wenyao urged her on. She took a deep breath, slowly took off the necklace from her neck and put it on Jiang Yan. Looking at the slender and beautiful back of her neck, Cao Mo wanted to strangle her to death on the spot.

Jiang Yan's jade fingers gently touched the necklace. Now that she had the thing in her hands and had shown her power, Jiang Yan didn't want to deal with them anymore. She took the box from Bai Wenyao's hand and went upstairs without looking back.
