Reborn as the Cinnabar Mole of the Prince of Beijing's Elite Circle

It was Lin Shu's mother and Lin Ya's mother who made her realize how beautiful and happy family love is. They gave her tolerance and care. An Cinian is not an ungrateful person, so how could she bear to blame them?

Overjoyed at being comforted by her daughter-in-law, Lin Shu burst into tears. She handed Xie Jiaye the tissues he offered, feeling ashamed that she, an adult, was crying like this in front of her child.

Xie Yu'an's thought process was different. He only heard his wife say that he was such a good husband. His wife still thought he was a very good husband. He had to work harder. Although the pain was already there, it didn't matter. He would bring more happy things in the future.

“However…” An Cinian released Lin Shu, looked at her superior Mu Yi, and said in a completely different tone, “I don’t know what your purpose is in coming here, but I can tell you right now that I will not go home with you. My only family is my husband and my mother. You don’t exist in my memory at all.”

The moment these people appeared, they all said she was Qingqing. But who was Qingqing? She had no recollection of her. These people were just strangers, nothing more. Her life was fine as it was, so why did they suddenly come and try to disrupt it?

Every word pierced her heart, and Si Muyi's heart ached. How could her first meeting with her sister have turned out like this?

"No, sisters, they don't know, I ran away from home. I just wanted to..."

"If I have misunderstood you, I apologize in advance. But no matter what you want to do, the Si family has nothing to do with me. I am An Cinian, not the Si Qing you are talking about."

She was cold and indifferent because she had no memory of it.

"Sister~" Si Muyi wanted to reach out and pull An Cinian, but An Cinian was still angry, and she couldn't make her sister angry. "I'll be good, sister, don't be angry~"

As she spoke, her nose became stuffy, and tears welled up in her eyes. She really wasn't—her sister was fine. She just hadn't seen her sister for eighteen years and couldn't wait to see her. She had secretly run away, and even tripped and fell on the way.

The air grew cold again. No one dared to speak unless An Cinian gave in. An Cinian was the most powerful and authoritative person in their family, and they all listened to him!

He coldly looked at the girl who was crying her eyes out, and without even speaking to them again, he stood up and left.

"Waaaaah...waaaah...waaaah..." Si Muyi couldn't control her tears at all and cried out loud, the tears streaming down her face. Her sister hated her~

“Xiao Yi, don’t cry. Sister, she has had a hard time these past few years. She has suffered a lot. Please don’t blame her.”

She wiped away Si Muyi's tears and wanted to comfort her, but then she thought about it again. The suffering that An Cinian had endured was real. She was all alone, her adoptive parents didn't love her, they scolded and beat her, used and threatened her. Her only beloved grandfather died, her best friend Lu Ye also died, and she was in poor health. She was the loneliest person in the world. She was gentle but distant, separated from everyone by a chasm, putting herself in darkness, thinking that she could protect herself that way.

None of them have the right to blame An Cinian.

Thinking of the hardships An Cinian had endured, tears welled up in her eyes again, and she quickly reached out to wipe them away.

"Son, go and see Xiao Nian."

Xie Yu'an nodded, stood up, and saw that An Cinian had returned.

Seeing An Cinian carrying a first-aid kit, I wondered, "Who's injured?"

An Cinian, who had walked over, did not answer the question. Instead, she stood condescendingly in front of Si Muyi and asked, "Didn't you say you tripped and fell? Where?"

Si Muyi raised her head, somewhat dazed, her words cold, but... was her sister talking to her? Was she worried about her?

Seeing Si Muyi looking so pitiful, An Cinian didn't know what else to say. "Never mind," she said, turning and leaving.

"Sister, I'm hurt. My knee hurts. I tripped and fell. Sister, it hurts!"

Si Muyi straightened her back and spoke very quickly, as if afraid of missing any of An Cinian's questions.

An Cinian, who was standing sideways, glanced down at Si Muyi, remained silent for a moment, then squatted down, lifted Si Muyi's skirt, and said, "Yes, this wound is indeed going to heal if it's not treated soon."

I knew what the child was thinking, but I didn't say anything more. After all, it's better for a girl to have fewer scars on her body, as it's not pretty.

"Don't be so reckless next time."

"Is my sister worried about me?"

That's just how kids are; a little coaxing and they immediately become shameless.

"Smug."

Hmph, she was just being hypocritical. But Si Muyi only dared to think that way in her mind. She had to behave herself and not make her sister angry again.

"Sister, I hope staying here won't make you angry. I promise, it's absolutely, absolutely because I miss you and want to see you. Sister, please don't be angry, okay?"

She stretched out her right hand to swear, and spoke in a coquettish tone that was impossible to refuse. Lin Shu thought that if her daughter-in-law hadn't gone through all that, she must have grown up in a loving family and would be just as cute and charming, able to forget bad things in the blink of an eye without a care in the world.

Unfortunately, it's all just hypothetical; many things have already happened and cannot be changed.

"I have no right to let you live wherever you want."

So what if her tone was inhuman? Si Muyi was already beaming with joy because An Cinian had gently treated her wounds, and she hugged Lin Shu and kissed her.

An Cinian was completely helpless against Si Muyi's coquettish behavior. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "This girl's temperament is nothing like that of a 23-year-old adult. She's more like a child. As for Xiao Xing, hmph, she's not as cute as Xiao Xing!"

"Daughter-in-law, what would you like to eat? Mom will make it for you."

Speaking of food, An Cinian's mood instantly brightened, and she began to chatter on and on to Lin Shu: "I want to eat lots of delicious food, vermicelli with shrimp balls, braised beef brisket with potatoes, lotus root and bok choy, black chicken soup!" She held up her thumb, thinking about what she wanted to eat for dinner, then realized she had already mentioned several things, so she quickly put her right hand down, blinked her big eyes, and asked expectantly, "Mom, is that okay?"

"No problem, Mommy will show off my skills today and make sure my daughter-in-law is happy with the meal."

After uttering this long and eloquent statement, he personally led the housekeeper and Xie Jiaye out to buy groceries, determined to demonstrate his cooking prowess.

Despite the sudden arrival of a stranger, An Cinian enjoyed her dinner very much. Her mother's cooking was truly amazing. Indeed, Xie Yu'an's cooking skills were inherited from her mother. If she ate like this every day, her weight would increase by a hundred pounds, and she would become fat.

He's gotten fat!

An Cinian turned her head and looked into Xie Yu'an's eyes: "Honey, if I become fat, will you still love me?"

"If you like her, it means I've taken good care of my wife and turned her into a cute and lucky doll."

Hearing An Cinian say this, I couldn't help but picture An Cinian's chubby face in my mind. She was so cute. I thought I would have a lovely and affectionate wife from now on.
