Xu Siqing is already 15 years old, so of course she knows what Ji Jingyan's current behavior is called.

Xu Siqing hated Ji Jingyan's appearance. Since this woman appeared, she saw her father even less.

Her father disliked her and her younger brother before, and now that his own child is born, he dislikes them even more.

Even Xu Tingwei, who was standing to the side, deeply agreed with his mother's words and kept nodding.

Aunt Zhang glanced at the identical grim expressions on the faces of the family of three, smiled slightly, and did not reply.

She was the nanny hired by the current mistress. As soon as she entered the house, the master of the house instructed her to call the mistress of the house "Madam".

Whether she called someone by the wrong name or not, she knows it in her heart.

Ye Meiling was annoyed that the person in front of her still had a nonchalant smile even after she had revealed her identity.

Xu Tingwei's expression was also not good. He felt that his mother had been offended by a servant. When had his mother ever suffered such an injustice?

So Xu Tingwei was momentarily enraged, and the anger in his eyes almost extinguished his reason.

Jingyan carried her son downstairs. The living room was brightly lit, but there was an odd, stiff atmosphere in it.

She saw a middle-aged woman in a brightly colored cheongsam sitting alone on a single leather sofa. Beside her was a beautiful young girl with baby fat and a little boy.

Jingyan recognized them at a glance, but she didn't have the patience to deal with them right now.

When Aunt Zhang saw Jingyan come downstairs, she quickly greeted her, "Good morning, Madam; good morning, Fanfan."

Jingyan replied "okay," and then said directly to Aunt Zhang, "Auntie, is breakfast ready? Fanfan and I are hungry."

Aunt Zhang smiled and nodded, "Alright, madam, I just went to open the door for the guests, so the breakfast hasn't been plated yet."

Upon learning that breakfast wouldn't be a wait, Jingyan wanted to let her son eat first, so she said to the nanny, "Okay, then Auntie, could you bring Fanfan's porridge over first? I'll feed him later, otherwise he'll get hungry and start fussing. I don't need to eat here for now."

"Okay~" The auntie accepted the order, didn't even glance at the guests in the living room, and turned to leave.

Jingyan sat on the sofa directly opposite Ye Meiling, holding her son. Looking at the uninvited Ye Meiling, she asked with her big, watery eyes, "What brings you to my house?" This was a classic case of someone not coming without a reason.

Jingyan wore a somewhat tight-fitting skirt suit today. As soon as she sat down, her exquisite curves were on full display. Even with a child in her lap, Jingyan's good figure could not be hidden.

At this moment, a perfect smile graced her delicate face, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Ignoring Ye Meiling's unpleasant expression, Jingyan looked at the two children Ye Meiling had brought with a deep gaze. "These are your two children? I didn't realize you were a mother of such big children. You must have put a lot of effort into taking care of your appearance."

Ye Meiling bit her lip, a barely perceptible hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes.

Ye Meiling softened her expression, forcing a harmless smile as she said, "Miss Ji..."

"Madam Wang, in this house, please call me Madam Xu." Unfortunately, before Ye Meiling could finish speaking, Jingyan raised her hand to interrupt her, emphasizing the words "Madam Wang."

After saying that, Jingyan's lips curled into a mischievous and playful smile. Hmph, she was now rightfully confronting the Ye family.

Upon hearing Jingyan's words, the three members of the Ye family immediately turned grim.

Xu Tingwei jumped up, pointed angrily at Jingyan, and shouted furiously, "You vixen..."

"Tingwei! How can you be so rude? Is this how your mother taught you at home? How can you be so disrespectful to strangers? Is this how I taught you? You have no manners at all. Hurry up and apologize to your Aunt Ji." Seeing that her son was about to say something unpleasant, Ye Meiling quickly interrupted him.

There's a hidden meaning in those words.

“Mom, I just can’t stand this woman’s disrespect for you,” Xu Tingwei pouted, retorting defiantly.

Xu Siqing, standing beside her, bit her lip, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.

"Tingwei, be good. Mommy's fine. It's nothing to suffer a little for your sake." Ye Meiling's voice was as gentle as a spring breeze.

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at her son with a loving expression, as if to say, "For you, it's no big deal if I suffer some humiliation."

Ye Meiling spoiled Siqing a bit because she was her and Wang Weiji's first child, but she wasn't indifferent to her son either.

Looking at his gentle and kind mother, Xu Tingwei felt that his mother had suffered a lot of grievances for him and his sister.

He only regretted that he was too young to protect his sister and mother.

Jingyan watched the three of them put on this "deep mother-son affection" act in front of her and found it utterly cringe-worthy.

So Jingyan raised her voice, "So you came all this way early in the morning just to put on a show of motherly love in front of me? If that's the case, then please leave. I don't want to watch it; it's an eyesore."

Jingyan remained calm, her tone even carrying a hint of arrogance, completely disregarding Ye Meiling and the other two, which infuriated Ye Meiling.

Upon hearing her words, Ye Meiling's face immediately darkened, but considering the purpose of her visit, she had no choice but to swallow her anger for the time being.

In fact, she would rather Ji Jingyan make things difficult for her than be ignored by Ji Jingyan.

Ye Meiling had never suffered such a loss since she was a child. If it weren't for the children and her desire to maintain the image of a loving mother in front of them, she would have left long ago.

Before Ye Meiling and the other two could react, Aunt Zhang brought over the breakfast she had cooked for Xiao Fanfan.

"Mom, I'm hungry. Shall we go eat breakfast?" Xu Yufan didn't care what the adults were thinking. Seeing the aunt bring over the fragrant seafood porridge, all he wanted to do was eat.

He jumped down from Jingyan's arms, grabbed her hand, and ran towards the restaurant.

Jingyan looked at her adorable son with a helpless yet tender expression. The two chatted back and forth, creating a heartwarming scene.

Completely oblivious to the unpleasant expressions on the faces of the three people.

Xu Siqing looked at the mother and son's intimate behavior, her eyes almost overflowing with disgust. Then she looked at her younger brother next to her, who was still comforting his mother.

Xu Siqing rolled her eyes in anger. Remembering the purpose of her visit, she could only look at Jingyan and pretend to be innocent before speaking.

"Aunt Ji, Grandpa asked Mom to bring us here today so that Tingwei and I can keep my little brother company. So we might be staying here for a while." Anyway, this is her dad's house, so it's perfectly legitimate for her and her brother to come.

"That won't do. This is my home, and no one is allowed to move in." Jingyan refused without even thinking, her tone incredibly firm.

If this were her previous life, she wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.
