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

While still on the way, Ci Ji sent a message to her mother.

The car stopped in the Ji family's yard.

As soon as Ci Jinian got out of the car, he saw that his mother, Ye Wan, had already come out.

"Mom!" As soon as Ji Nianci saw her, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face, and she quickly walked over.

"I heard the car stop from inside, so I rushed out to see if it was you. Come on in, come on in." Ye Wan smiled broadly upon seeing her daughter.

As the two walked in, they ran into Ji Yuying, who was coming down the stairs.

She must have just woken up; she was wearing pajamas, her hair was disheveled, and she slowly walked downstairs in slippers.

Upon seeing Ji Nianci standing at the door, a fleeting look of disgust and incomprehension crossed her face.

Why is this person here again?

Seeing her outfit today, Ji Yuying's gaze unconsciously lingered on her. She slowly clenched her fists, feeling both surprised and somewhat unable to control her jealousy. Why was Ji Nianci suddenly dressing up? Didn't she never wear makeup normally?

Looking at her clothes, Ji Yuying realized that she also had a similar outfit, but the effect of wearing it was far inferior to hers.

Although he didn't want to admit it, but...

After being crushed for two consecutive days, Ji Yuying's disgust for her older sister had reached its peak.

"Yuying, you're up. Come and eat!" Ji Nianci looked up at her, revealing a gentle and calm smile, as if nothing had happened yesterday.

Ji Yuying forced a smile: "Sister, you're here. You look really good today."

I never expected that Ji Yuying, despite suffering so much at yesterday's banquet, could still maintain the facade of sisterhood with me so calmly. Indeed, her younger sister is very patient.

Ye Wan was completely unaware of all this and continued to enthusiastically serve food to her two daughters at the dinner table.

"Today, your father isn't here, so it's just the three of us eating."

“It’s alright, I’ll come back to have dinner with Dad next time.” Ji Nianci smiled and agreed, while also putting a few more dishes on Ye Wan’s plate: “Here, Mom, your favorite.”

"Okay..."

Ji Yuying sat opposite her and casually remarked, "Sister has been coming back quite often lately..."

Faced with her pointed remark, Ji Nianci remained calm and smiled slightly: "What, little sister, are you not welcoming me back?"

Ji Yuying hadn't expected her to suddenly speak so sarcastically, and quickly said, "No, no, how could that be? I was just seeing my sister. I don't usually go home, but lately I've been seeing her more often. Did you... have a fight with your brother-in-law?"

Her words, seemingly expressing concern for herself, were actually an implication to her mother that she and her husband were not getting along.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ye Wan's face also showed some worry: "Yes, Nianci, I'm naturally happy that you're back every few days, but what about Ceyan..."

"Oh, it's okay, Mom. Ceyan and I are getting along very well, so you don't need to worry. It's just that he's usually very busy. I get bored at home by myself and I'm too lazy to go shopping or anything like that, so I just come home to keep you company."

"That's fine, that's fine..."

"Is that really true..." Ji Yuying poked at the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks and muttered softly.

Ji Nianci smiled slightly: "What's wrong, Yu Ying? It seems like you don't want me and your brother-in-law to have a good relationship."

Ye Wan also glanced at her with some displeasure.

"No, no, how could that be? My sister and brother-in-law have a good relationship, so of course I'm happy for them. I was just asking casually..."

Ji Yuying was already filled with resentment. When did Ji Nianci become so sharp-tongued? These few words were aimed at her from every angle...

The group had only been eating for a short while when Ji Yuying's phone rang several times in a row.

She put the chopsticks aside, opened her phone, and started replying to messages.

Zhou An: [What are you doing, baby? I miss you.]

Ji Yuying: [Having dinner with my mom and my sister.]

Zhou An: [Why is that woman here again? Didn't she just attend a banquet yesterday?]

Ji Yuying: [How would I know her? She's a married daughter, yet she shamelessly runs back to her parents' house every day, shamelessly coming to freeload. I'm speechless.]

Zhou An: [It's okay, baby, don't be angry.]

For quite a while, Ji Yuying didn't put her phone down.

Ji Nianci smiled; of course she knew who Ji Yuying was chatting with.

However, she would naturally say as much as possible if she could make her unhappy.

"Yuying, who are you texting with? You seem to be having a great time."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wan looked at her.

Ji Yuying quickly turned off her phone. She stammered as she explained, "Haha...nobody...just one friend of mine."

"What friend's message could make you so happy? Our Yuying... could it be that she has a boyfriend?"

Ji Yuying's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and her tone unconsciously became somewhat nervous.

"What? Are you kidding me, sis? Why would I have a boyfriend? If I had one, wouldn't I tell you?"

"Why are you so nervous? I was just asking casually. What, is this boyfriend someone I know?" Ji Nianci's lips curled up, and she stared at her intently, her eyes filled with an emotion that Ji Yuying couldn't understand.

Ji Yuying was somewhat flustered and confused.

Why are these commemorative messages all acting weird lately?

Did she really know something?

Ji Nianci suddenly smiled and looked away from her, saying with a smile, "What are you afraid of? I was just joking with you, don't take it to heart. You must tell me when you have a boyfriend."

After finishing speaking, Ci Jinian turned her head towards Ye Wan and said, "Mom, look, my little sister is still so easily teased."

"Stop joking about your sister, she's still young," Ye Wan said with a smile, playfully scolding her.

Ji Yuying finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, sister."

Ye Wan seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "Oh, right, Dad and I won't be home next week. We're going to B City on a business trip. Yu Ying, you have to behave yourself at home and not cause any trouble, okay? And Niannian, if you have time, come back and keep an eye on her. I'm afraid if no one is watching her, she'll become completely out of control."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuying's eyes flashed with an unfathomable glint. Since her parents weren't around, wouldn't it be much more convenient to do that kind of thing?

Her gaze unconsciously drifted toward Ji Nianci.

As soon as her mother finished speaking, Ji Yuying instantly understood what she was thinking, and she turned to look at her as well.

The two people's eyes met in the air.
