Who says real and fake daughters can’t be sisters?

Dad and Mom Ji stayed with Yuanluo in Yunxi Village until the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month before they said it was time to go back. Seeing that Yuanluo was reluctant to leave, Dad and Mom Ji didn't dare to say, "If you want to stay a few more days, just stay and we'll pick you up later."

What if she stays and doesn’t leave? She’s my own daughter.

Yu Qin and Zhang Yuanhuai also advised them that it was time to go back home to celebrate the New Year, hoping that they could come back to see them next time they had a holiday.

Mother Ji suddenly had an idea and advised, "We really should go back. Siran has been calling us these past few days to ask when you will go back. She is almost quarreling with us. If you don't go back, we can't do anything to her."

Yuanluo thought of Si Ran, with whom she had a good relationship. In the past two days, Si Ran had indeed been asking her whether she should go back for the New Year and whether she had abandoned her. So she stopped hesitating and got in the car.

On the way back, Dad Ji drove the car himself and Mom Ji sat in the passenger seat. Because they had to drive for several hours, Mom Ji had to stay by Dad Ji's side to chat and help him observe the road conditions to prevent him from being too tired and getting into an accident.

The Zhang family packed a lot of food for them, including home-grown dried goods such as jujubes and walnuts, dried beans, and some of Yuanluo's favorite foods made by Zhang's mother, filling the trunk to the brim.

As soon as Yuanluo got in the car, she closed her eyes and tried to sleep. Father Ji started the car. He knew Yuanluo couldn't sleep, so he said, "We never thought of taking you away from anyone. Whether it's the Zhang family in Yunxi Village or the Ji family in Pingzhou, they are both your home. Because of you, the Zhang family and the Ji family will become an inseparable whole.

Your mother and I are actually quite jealous of them. You are so close to them, and your mother and I are like two intruders who don’t fit in. But we are also really happy. We can see that you have been well taken care of by them over the years.”

Yuanluo did not open her eyes or make a sound, but a soft spot deep in her heart seemed to be touched.

From the impoverished Yunxi Village to the high-rise Pingzhou, from a penniless country girl to a wealthy lady, everything happened too suddenly and she didn't know how to adapt to this change.

The friends and relatives who had grown up with her have become a thing of the past that is out of her reach. She doesn't know how or whether she should fit in into the Ji family with its luxurious buildings.

She was not trafficked to the Zhang family. On the contrary, her life was saved by her adoptive parents. They not only raised her, but also saved her life. She could not accept the kindness of her biological parents so naturally, nor could she enjoy all the generous treatment provided by her biological parents with peace of mind.

Every time she got close to her biological parents, she felt that she owed her adoptive parents. They raised her, but she never gave them anything in return. She just followed her biological parents back to the Ji family.

Her biological parents were very good to her, but her adoptive parents also gave her the best of everything they had. She felt that no matter which side she chose, it would be a death sentence for the other side, which was really too cruel.

But now, her father told her that no matter whether they were her biological parents or adoptive parents, they were all her family, and she did not have to give up her adoptive parents if she returned to the Ji family, because they all loved her equally.

Yes, although she has the Ji family’s surname, she is still Yuanluo from the Zhang family.

Yuanluo's thoughts suddenly became much clearer, and the questions that had troubled her for a long time seemed to have been answered in an instant. Although she was pretending to be asleep, she couldn't help but let the tears flow down her cheeks.

It turns out that the hard shell she thought she had was not indestructible. As long as she felt enough love, it would collapse in an instant.

The couple naturally saw their daughter crying silently through the mirror. Ji's mother was worried but she also knew that now was not a good time to disturb her daughter. She was too worried, so she could only say some things to her, and let her digest the rest slowly by herself.

Yuanluo fell asleep eventually. When she heard the sound of her even breathing from the back seat, Ji's mother looked at her daughter through the mirror and found that the tears on her face had not yet dried.

When she woke up again, Yuanluo was gently awakened by Ji's mother. Yuanluo saw the environment outside and knew that she had returned to Ji's house. She rubbed her face and prepared to get off the car.

Ji's mother quickly asked her to put on her coat. The heater in the car was on high, but the temperature outside was below zero. Yuanluo had just woken up, and it would be very easy for her to catch a cold if she went out like this.

Yuan Luo looked at her mother who was very considerate of her and said without thinking: "Mom, I want to eat salt and pepper pork ribs. I don't like crabs because they taste too fishy. I don't like fatty meat either. I don't want to eat any at all. My favorite thing is pork ribs."

Mother Ji was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Mom will remember it."

After hearing what Yuanluo said, Ji's father, who had been standing by, finally felt relieved. Apparently, what he said to his daughter before he came back worked, and his daughter was finally willing to let down her guard towards them.

Several people got out of the car, and the servants took out everything in the trunk, but they didn't know where to put it.

God knows, no matter they have worked in the Ji family for decades or have been new servants for only two years, they have never seen anything with such a rustic flavor in the Ji family.

Father Ji was a little dissatisfied when he saw their expressions, and he said directly: "Take the food to the kitchen, and put the dry goods on plates. They are all food. What are you standing there for? Oh, don't waste the food. If you don't know how to cook, just listen to Yuanluo and cook according to her preferences."

After Ji's father finished speaking, the servants hurriedly did as they were told, but Ji's father was still a little dissatisfied.

What kind of looks are those people giving him? He pulled it back himself. It was a gift for his daughter, and they didn't think it was a big deal. Why do those people look so disgusted? Isn't it time to get some smart people to do the job? These people have no tact at all.

Before I even entered the house, Siran rushed out after hearing the news and complained, "You guys are too much. You went to my sister's old home without me, and you stayed there for so long. You didn't come back until the New Year. I thought my sister and I were abandoned by you."

Mother Ji looked at Siran, who seemed to be complaining but was actually acting like a spoiled child, and said with a smile, "I worked so hard to raise these two children. Now one of them is old enough to work and support me, and the other one is about to work and support me. I can't bear to abandon them. If they are picked up by someone else, I will suffer a great loss."

Siran felt embarrassed and called out "Mom" in a coquettish tone.

Mother Ji stopped teasing her. A group of people came into the house and sat on the sofa. Mother Ji asked, "How is it on the set? Are you not bullied?"

"I'm so cute, who would have the heart to bully me? Everyone is so nice to me."

Seeing Siran's look and feeling that the tone of his words did not sound false, Mother Ji knew that what Siran said was true and stopped asking any more questions.

Ji's father asked, "Of course, do you want to be an actor in the future? If you have decided, Dad wants to open an agency for you and find someone to manage you. Your mother and I are not confident about other companies."

Siran waved her hands repeatedly to refuse: "Dad, no need. I think acting is fun, so Uncle Gu invited me to act, and I went. But I still have to take the college entrance examination. I can't decide now whether I want to be an actor in the future, so I don't want to. After filming this play, I will go back to school to continue my studies."
