As soon as they stepped into the living room, a warm home atmosphere hit them.

Aunt Mei, the always smiling and attentive housekeeper, came forward with a hint of tenderness and respect in her voice.

"Madam, the gentleman just called and said he couldn't get through to you, so he asked me to tell you that he and the young master will be attending an important banquet that evening, so he won't be back for dinner. You'll have dinner with the two young ladies instead."

Upon hearing this, Luo's mother nodded slightly, with a smile of understanding on her face.

She slowly took out her cell phone from her bag. There was indeed a missed call on the screen. She probably had turned the phone to silent mode to avoid being disturbed, so she didn't notice it.

She pondered this in her heart, then said to Aunt Mei, "Okay, I understand. How's the dinner preparation going?"

"Dinner is almost over, ma'am. The last soup will be ready soon, and then we can start eating." Aunt Mei replied very respectfully, "However, it seems that the eldest lady hasn't come home yet. Should we wait for her?"

Hearing this, Luo's mother turned her gaze to Luo Ning'er, who was standing obediently beside her, her eyes full of love. "An An, are you hungry?"

Luo Ning'er shook her head and said softly, "I'm not hungry yet, Mom. Let's wait for sister to come back and eat together. After all, we haven't eaten together since sister came back."

Her voice is clear and pleasant, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, or like the gurgling of water, with a hint of playfulness and tenderness, making people feel comfortable as if bathed in the spring breeze, and their mood becomes cheerful.

"Yeah. Your dad and your brother are always busy with work. We agreed to have a reunion dinner together tonight."

Luo's mother couldn't help but complain.

There was a hint of helplessness in her tone, but more of it was concern for her family.

"Mom, don't be angry! Dad and brother must have something important to do at the last minute. We should understand them."

Luo Ning'er took her mother's hand and shook it coquettishly.

Her eyes were clear and bright, sparkling with intelligence, and there was a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, as if it could melt all her worries.

After hearing this, Luo's mother felt a warm feeling in her heart. She gently patted the back of Luo Ning'er's hand, her eyes full of relief.

"My precious daughter is the most sensible! Unlike these two men, they really make me worry."

Luo's mother sighed, but a happy smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Did Xiao Li say where he's going today, or when he'll be back?"

There was a hint of concern in her words, and she was obviously very concerned about her daughter's whereabouts.

After all, Jiang Li had just returned home, and as a mother, she always wanted to be closer to her children.

Luo Ning'er tilted her head and tried carefully to recall the conversation with her sister in the morning, but she could not find any relevant information in her mind.

So she shook her head slightly, with a hint of uncertainty in her eyes.

"No, Mom. My sister must have her own things to do."

Although her tone was relaxed, Luo Ning'er was still a little worried because she knew Jiang Li's job and was afraid that she would be in danger.

Luo's mother frowned, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

She sighed softly and said to herself, "This child doesn't even know how to report safety to his family."

After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Luo Ning'er and instructed, "I'll call her later and ask about the situation."

Luo Ning'er nodded in agreement.

She knew her mother's concern was out of love, and she was equally concerned about her sister's safety.

So, she comforted her, "Don't worry, Mom. My sister is already a grown-up, she will be fine. Maybe she is busy with work now."

"She's the same age as you and is working now. She must have had no money to study before and was forced to work to support herself."

Luo Ning'er knew Jiang Li's actual situation very well - not only had she successfully graduated from university, but she had also put on a uniform of justice and became a police officer specializing in economic crime investigations.

However, Luo Ning'er could not easily reveal the story behind this honor to others.

When Luo Ning'er heard her mother speculating about Jiang Li's past, thinking that she had to enter society early because she had no money to continue her studies, she could only silently refute it in her heart, and at the same time soothe her mother's worries with gentle words.

Time passed slowly, and bursts of fragrance wafted from the kitchen, making people salivate.

Luo's mother decided to give Jiang Li a call.

Jiang Li was obviously stunned when she received the call. She obviously didn't expect that Luo's mother and others would wait for her to have dinner together.

Over the years, Jiang Li has become accustomed to facing the ups and downs of life alone.

At this moment, this simple yet sincere waiting from the Luo family warmed her heart like a ray of sunshine in winter.

"I'll probably be home in about twenty minutes, you can eat first."

"Don't worry, the food is still hot. We'll wait for you to come back and eat together."

After hanging up the phone, Luo's mother told Aunt Mei to serve dinner in twenty minutes. Then she continued chatting with Luo Ning'er.

"An An, Mom wants your sister to continue going to school and be in the same class with you, and then hire a tutor for her so you can both take care of her. What do you think?"

Luo's mother talked about her plans for Jiang Li's future and asked Luo Ning'er for her opinion.

Luo Ning'er was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something.

After a while, she finally spoke: "I have no objection to this, but you need to ask your sister what she thinks. After all, this concerns her own life plan. We should respect her decision."

Luo's mother nodded, indicating that she agreed with Luo Ning'er's opinion.

Then she added, "Of course, I will discuss this matter with your sister. However, I also hope that you can pay more attention to your sister and help her adapt to the new environment."

Luo Ning'er smiled and replied, "Okay, Mom, I will do my best to help my sister. As long as she needs my help, I will definitely do my best to help her."

Luo's mother felt very relieved when she saw her daughter's sensible appearance.

She knew that although Luo Ning'er could be a little proud at times, she was always a kind, smart and compassionate child.

I believe that with Luo Ning'er's help, Jiang Li will be able to adapt to the new environment smoothly and avoid being bullied by those rich girls.

"I'm going to talk to her while we eat and ask about her plans." Mother Luo thought to herself.

As long as we know that Luo Ning'er has no objection to this, then the plan will be half successful.

After all, Jiang Li was not in this circle before, and Luo's mother was worried that those rich girls would bully her.

So Luo's mother hopes that Luo Ning'er can take good care of Jiang Li at school.

If Luo Ning'er knew what her mother was thinking at the moment, she would definitely sigh: "My dear mother, I am actually the one who needs to be taken care of more!"
