After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.

Two days later, it was time for Ji Yuying to host her banquet.

Ji Nianci got up early and started getting ready. As Shen Ceyan passed by, he casually asked, "Getting up so early to get dressed, where are you going?"

"I'm going back to the Ji family home today to attend my sister's graduation banquet," Ji Nianci said while applying contouring to her face.

Shen Ceyan walked behind her, bent down to look at her in the mirror, put his arm around her waist, his breath on her face, and said in a deep and gentle voice, "I'll take you."

"No need, no need, you go to work, I'll have the driver take me." Ji Nianci quickly waved her hand to refuse, she didn't want to trouble him with such a small matter.

"You really don't need it?"

"Oh, it's no big deal, no need."

Shen Ceyan smiled, ruffled her hair, and didn't insist anymore: "Okay, then be careful."

Ji Nianci arrived at the Ji family home soon after, and Ji Yuying opened the door for her.

When she saw her, Ji Yuying's smile cracked for a moment.

Standing in the sunlight, Ci Ji exuded a fresh and serene aura. Her face was like a lily in the morning, pure and refined, radiating an untainted purity that drew people closer.

She wore a light white silk dress, adorned with a few pearls at the neckline. The unique cinched waist design made her already slender waist appear even more delicate. The simple attire perfectly accentuated her elegant气质 (qi zhi - inherent quality/temperament).

In remembrance of Ci Su, she was beautiful enough even with her face bare, but now, dressed up and wearing light makeup, she is even more breathtaking.

In contrast, Ji Yuying's gorgeous dress, specially styled hairstyle, and various fussy accessories seemed somewhat vulgar.

This is exactly the effect we want in commemorating Ci.

She clearly noticed this as well, and awkwardly looked away.

It's always like this, every single time. Ji Nianci only needs to dress up casually to completely crush her. Why can't she ever compare to her?

Ji Yuying unconsciously clenched her fists at her sides, resentment growing in her heart.

Ji Nianci smiled and said, "My sister looks great today, very pretty."

He then handed her the gift in his hand: "Here, this is for you. Happy graduation."

Ji Yuying raised the corners of her mouth, trying her best to look happy, but only she knew how forced that smile was.

She held out her hands and accepted the gift: "Thank you, sister. Come in."

The banquet hadn't started yet, and the servants were busy preparing. Ji Nianci sat on the sofa, looked around, and asked, "Where are Mom and Dad?"

"Mom and Dad aren't here today. They were worried that if they were here, we young people would feel uncomfortable, so they went to the company. Sister, we can play all we want today!" Ji Yuying said with a mischievous smile.

With that expression and her outfit today, she looks exactly like an innocent, adorable, and naive little princess.

Ji Nianci stared at her intently, a hint of sadness in her expression.

I was deceived by her pure and innocent appearance back then.

Although her older sister wasn't perfect, she loved and doted on her wholeheartedly. Whatever her own things were, if her sister wanted them, she would never refuse, and even if she didn't have them, she would do her best to get them for her.

When they were children, whenever they got into trouble and their parents found out, she would always stand in front of her, take the blame for her, and prevent her from suffering their parents' anger.

Ji Nianci could never have imagined that her sister would harbor murderous intentions towards her for the sake of a company. In truth, she would have given her the company if she wanted it.

When she was little, she would follow me around sweetly, calling me "sister"... How did she become like this...?

Ji Nianci smiled slightly but didn't say anything more.

Ji Yuying answered a phone call. After hanging up, she said to Ji Nianci, "Sister, my classmates are here. I'll go pick them up first."

"Go."

Ji Yuying lifted her skirt with both hands and walked towards the door.

She casually tossed her phone onto the sofa, the screen still lit.

Ji Nianci raised an eyebrow, watched her walk away, and picked up the phone on the sofa.

The screen is unlocked.

Ci smiled gently. Her younger sister was, after all, a recent graduate, and was still a bit naive, without any sense of caution.

Or perhaps she was too confident in herself, thinking that her older sister knew nothing and was too lazy to even take precautions.

On her way here, she was wondering how to unlock Ji Yuying's phone. Unexpectedly, she unlocked it effortlessly.

Without a second thought, Ji Nianci quickly grabbed her phone from the sofa. After a few quick movements, she installed a bugging program on the phone. Whenever this phone made a call, her end would be able to hear it.

She got the program from Tang Zhi because she knew someone in that field. Tang Zhi asked her what it was for, but she didn't say much, only that she would find out later. Hearing this, Tang Zhi was initially reluctant to give it to her, and she had to beg and plead to get it.

After doing all that, she opened WeChat again, trying to find Ji Yuying's and Zhou An's chat history. She scrolled through the list for a long time before finally spotting a familiar profile picture. The nickname was "Senior Zhou."

Ji Nianci scoffed. This nickname was really ridiculous. If she hadn't been familiar with Zhou An's profile picture, she really wouldn't have been able to find it.

Without time to examine it closely, she quickly snapped a few photos of the two people's chat history, then heard a commotion outside the door.

Ji Nianci immediately logged out of WeChat, cleared the background apps, and put her phone back in its place. Then she sat down on the sofa, picked up the teacup in front of her, and began to savor the tea.

"Come in, everyone, please make yourselves at home and don't be shy," Ji Yuying's voice came from the doorway. She smiled and led the group of people in.

"Wow, Yuying, this is your home! It's a big villa, so luxurious and beautiful! I wish I could live in a house like this."

"Yes, Yuying, I really envy you. The little princess of the Ji family, you've lived a life of luxury since you were little. You must have no worries, right? And you even held such a grand banquet to invite us to attend."

"Exactly, unlike us ordinary people, who have to worry about how little money we have to make every day."

"If it weren't for Yuying, I probably would never have had the chance to attend a banquet in a place like this in my life. Yuying, you are so good to us. Not only are you beautiful, but you are also kind-hearted."

"How could that be? Please don't say that, I'm embarrassed. It's my greatest honor that everyone could come to my graduation banquet. Please don't be shy, have fun." Ji Yuying's smile deepened, these words greatly satisfied her vanity.
