The next day, Ye Xuan dressed up carefully and, together with Xiao Jiu Jiu and Qin Xin, came to the Wan family villa again.

"Mrs. Qin, Xiao Jiu."

Wan Mengjiao greeted Ye Xuan with a smile and took her hand.

"Hello, Aunt Wan~" Xiao Jiu Jiu greeted her with a smile.

At the same time, a weak voice sounded beside her: "Hello, Aunt Wan."

Wan Mengjiao then noticed Qin Xin standing next to Xiao Jiu.

Qin Xin wore a floral dress and carried a cute crossbody bag today, looking youthful and energetic.

"This is……?"

Wan Mengjiao glanced at Ye Xuan.

The latter smiled and said, "This is my daughter, Qin Xin. Xin Xin, call her Auntie."

"Auntie."

"Hey, your daughter is so cute."

Wan Mengjiao led them to the living room and had the maid bring out plenty of snacks and toys: "Sit down, children."

Drinks, small cakes, and some spicy snacks were laid out on the table, all of which were flavors that Xiao Jiu Jiu liked.

"Xiao Jiu, this is a matcha cake that I specially asked the kitchen to make. It's not too sweet, you should like it."

Wan Mengjiao's attitude shows how much effort she puts in.

"Thank you so much, Mrs. Li," Ye Xuan said somewhat apologetically.

Wan Mengjiao laughed: "I did this because I like Xiao Jiu, not for you guys."

"I know."

Xiao Jiu Jiu picked up a small spoon and scooped out a spoonful of matcha cake.

She took a big bite, her cheeks puffed out like a cute little hamster: "Delicious!"

Her eyes lit up immediately, clearly showing how much she liked it.

"Eat up, all of you eat!" Wan Mengjiao nodded to the servants, and soon several kinds of cakes were brought out.

Wan Mengjiao pulled Ye Xuan to sit on the sofa: "They're so slow, they're not here yet. Let's sit for a while and have some cake."

"I don't know, I'm against sugar, I'm too old for that." Ye Xuan waved her hand and declined Wan Mengjiao's invitation.

Wan Mengjiao laughed and said, "You're so young and you say you're old? I think I'm the one who's old."

"But eat what you want, and if it really doesn't work, just get some cosmetic procedures done; it's not a big deal."

Ye Xuan laughed: "That's right, hahaha, shall I have a piece too?"

"Have a piece!"

Wan Mengjiao prepared a piece of Black Forest cake for Ye Xuan: "You can try them all. Besides this Black Forest cake, the Red Velvet cake is also quite good."

"it is good."

After taking a bite of cake, Ye Xuan suddenly stopped.

She hadn't figured out how to tell Wan Mengjiao about Rui Rui.

Little Jiu Jiu saw this and immediately looked up, smiling sweetly: "Aunt Wan, where's Rui Rui? Why isn't she coming down to eat cake?"

“Your little sister Rui Rui is playing building a house up there. No matter how much we call her, she won’t come down. She just likes to hide in her little house.”

Wan Mengjiao smiled helplessly.

She bought Rui Rui a lot of toys, and Rui Rui liked to hide in a corner and pile them up to build herself a house.

Xiao Jiujiu gave Ye Xuan a wink.

Ye Xuan elegantly took a bite of cake and casually asked, "Why didn't you let Rui Rui come down and eat cake?"

"She went to the hospital a few days ago because of a toothache. The doctor said she got sick from eating too much sugar and told me not to make her any sweets."

Wan Mengjiao smiled helplessly.

After all, you can't ignore what the doctor says.

"Haha, let Rui Rui come down and play with Xiao Jiu. I think Xiao Jiu really likes Rui Rui," Ye Xuan said with a smile.

Wan Mengjiao nodded: "Yes, someone, go and call Ruirui down, and tell her that Sister Xiao Jiu has arrived."

She clapped her hands lightly, and the maid left.

Qin Xin tugged at Xiao Jiujiu's sleeve.

"What's wrong, Xinxin?" Xiao Jiujiu looked down at Qin Xin.

Qin Xin whispered, "Who is this Rui Rui?"

"Aunt Wan's daughter," Xiao Jiujiu patiently explained.

Qin Xin nodded slightly, then resumed eating.

The pastries at Wan Mengjiao's house are really delicious; even Qin Xin couldn't resist eating a couple more.

A short while later, Rui Rui, wearing a pink bunny princess dress, came downstairs.

She seemed to have just stepped out of her little house, her eyes still showing a lot of wariness.

Upon seeing Xiao Jiu Jiu, Rui Rui blinked her big eyes and called out in a sweet, soft voice, "Sister Jiu Jiu~"

Her voice was sweet, and her skin was fair; she was as lovely as a beautifully carved doll.

Wan Mengjiao called out, "Rui Rui, come here quickly and play with your little sister Jiu. Didn't you say the other day that you really liked playing with your little sister Jiu?"

Rui Rui glanced shyly at Xiao Jiu Jiu, clenched her skirt tightly, and looked on expectantly.

Qin Xin glanced at it and continued eating and drinking as usual.

She's just here to be a prop; she doesn't need to help, doesn't need to say anything, being a background character is best.

Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled and said, "Rui Rui, come and eat cake with me, this cake is super delicious!"

"Coming!"

Rui Rui ran over, her cheeks flushed with shyness.

Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Rui Rui, this isn't the first time we've met, why are you still so shy?"

“That’s just her personality. I’ve always been a little tyrant since I was a child. That Li…” Wan Mengjiao’s expression changed slightly when she mentioned Li Yu’an.

Fortunately, she quickly put it away: "That scumbag isn't usually so submissive. I don't know what's wrong with Rui Rui's personality."

Her son isn't like that either; Rui Rui is the only one in the family who's timid.

Ye Xuan patted her shoulder: "It's okay, it's all in the past. Rui Rui is shy now, so we'll slowly correct her and help her be more outgoing."

"Ah."

After sending the children away, Wan Mengjiao checked the time: "Why aren't those two here yet? I'll call and urge them."

Urged on by Wan Mengjiao, the two arrived quickly.

The four people quickly joined the game.

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Wang came again this time.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Xiao Jiujiu as she hit her, her tone somewhat cold and hard: "Mrs. Qin, this daughter of yours, she's not your biological daughter, is she?"

She went back and investigated the woman's information, and found that Xiao Jiu did indeed look very similar to that person.

The current head of the Wang family, and her husband's first love.

"Mrs. Wang, as everyone knows, Xiao Jiu is Old Qin's child from his ex-wife. His ex-wife was short-lived and has already passed away."

Ye Xuan raised a finger in a shushing gesture: "Let's not mention it again, or Xiao Jiu will be unhappy."

"Yeah, Bai Zhiling, can you please not bring this up? Everyone's having a great time." Wan Mengjiao glared at her.

Bai Zhiling raised her hand like a portrait: "Sorry, I am..."

"Don't ruin the mood."

Chen Xin smiled and handed over the cards: "Sorry, I won."

If you don't concentrate on the game, I'll win all your money.

"Hey, let's not talk about that anymore, let's keep fighting!" Bai Zhiling waved her hand and joined the battle.

The group was engrossed in playing cards.

Suddenly, Ye Xuan said, "Rui Rui is quite pretty, a girl from a modest family."

“Xiao Jiu looks so vibrant and full of life, I really like it,” Chen Xin said from the side.

Wan Mengjiao proudly raised her chin: "Although our Rui Rui doesn't look like me, she's still cute."

"She's cute, but a bit timid. Her family isn't poor, so why is she so shy?" Chen Xinrui commented.

Wan Mengjiao glared at her: "Chen Xin! I'm going to tell your mother!"

"How old are you? You're a mother now and you still have to complain. You look younger than them, don't you?" Chen Xin said to her without any politeness.

Bai Zhiling played a card and said casually, "Rui Rui is not like Wan Mengjiao's child; she's too well-behaved."

"That's true, Wan Mengjiao was quite something when she was little..."

Before Chen Xin could finish speaking, Wan Mengjiao angrily said, "Don't mention childhood anymore! Everyone has a childhood!"

"Haha, let's not talk about it anymore," Chen Xin said with a laugh.

Bai Zhiling frowned and continued, "However, Rui Rui's eyes are not quite like Meng Jiao's, nor like Li Yu'an's. They are big and round, like a beautiful girl's."

"They don't look quite alike, but children are all a combination of the best features of their parents, so it's normal if they don't," Ye Xuan said somewhat awkwardly.

I still can't bring myself to say it directly; it's too hurtful.

Wan Mengjiao snorted coldly: "Rui Rui is the child I gave birth to with great difficulty, how could she not resemble me?"

"At most, it's because I ate too many grapes when I gave birth to her that her eyes look like that."

“Yes, yes, grape eyes,” Chen Xin agreed with a smile.

Ye Xuan said awkwardly, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's continue playing cards."

"Yes, let me see what I should play next." Chen Xin smiled and played a card.

Wan Mengjiao suppressed her inexplicable anger and continued fighting.

She was so distracted that she couldn't stop playing.

In the end, they simply lost to all three.

Wan Mengjiao became increasingly angry the more she thought about it.

She threw down her cards and said, "I'm a little tired today, I'm not playing anymore."

"Aren't you going to eat?" Chen Xin asked.

Wan Mengjiao snorted coldly: "I don't want to eat anymore."

Seeing that Ye Xuan hadn't told the truth all day, Xiao Jiu shook his head helplessly: "The adults are really unreliable."

"Sister, what's wrong?" Qin Xin leaned closer to Xiao Jiu Jiu and asked softly.

Xiao Jiujiu looked at Rui Rui, then at Qin Xin, and sighed: "It's nothing, you don't understand the troubles of adults."

"But my sister is only a little bit older than me," Qin Xin said quietly.

Little Nine-Nine: ...

"Oh dear, don't worry about the details!" Seeing that she opened her mouth to speak, Xiao Jiu Jiu picked up a peeled lychee from the side and stuffed it into her mouth.

Xiao Jiu Jiu: "Xin Xin, there's so much fruit! It would be a shame not to eat it."

"Pfft." Qin Xin couldn't help but laugh.

Rui Rui blinked curiously: "Sister Xiao Jiu, what are you doing? Can we play hide-and-seek?"

"Great! I love playing hide-and-seek!"

Xiao Jiujiu excitedly pulled the two aside, decided on a hiding area, and then they split up.

The three adults here haven't given up playing mahjong.

When Wan Mengjiao disappeared, they immediately called and invited another wealthy woman to come and have fun together.

The newly arrived wealthy woman was also joining this kind of gathering for the first time, and was a little reserved: "Um... what kind of game is it?"

The four newly formed group started fighting again.

Upstairs, the three of them started playing hide-and-seek.

Let's play rock-paper-scissors! Whoever loses becomes the ghost!

"Okay!"

In the first round, Xiao Jiujiu lost.

She blindfolded herself, faced the wall, and began to count: "1, 2, 3..."

I counted up to one hundred, and there wasn't a soul in sight.

She wasn't in a hurry.

The hide-and-seek game was set up in two guest rooms, the exercise room, Rui Rui's room, and the storage room. The area was neither too big nor too small, and there were plenty of places to hide.

Just enough for three people to play with.

"Hee hee hee."

Even without looking, Xiao Jiu Jiu can tell the direction of the footsteps.

Based on her memory, she walked in one direction.

Qin Xin hid behind the gym equipment, but was quickly spotted by Xiao Jiu Jiu.

"Sister, where are you going?" Qin Xin asked curiously, following behind.

Xiao Jiujiu grinned mischievously, "I know where Ruirui will be hiding."

"Why? Did you peek?" Qin Xin stared at Xiao Jiujiu with her beautiful eyes, raising her voice.

Xiao Jiu Jiu quickly covered her mouth: "Shh, keep your voice down, why are you shouting like that!"

"Oh~" Qin Xin silently shut up.

Xiao Jiujiu said, "Based on my deduction, Rui Rui is timid and cautious, so she will definitely hide in the place she is most familiar with."

"How did you know, sister?" Qin Xin asked, puzzled.

Xiao Jiujiu gestured to her: "Shh, you're speechless now, don't talk."

"Ok."

Inside the room, hearing the approaching footsteps, Rui Rui hid under the bed in fear.

She looked somewhat frightened.

Xiao Jiu Jiu stopped at the door of Rui Rui's room and pushed the door open.

She grinned mischievously, "RuiRui~ RuiRui, I'm here~"

That wicked little face looks just like a little devil trying to take your life.

Turning on the light, Xiao Jiu Jiu walked inside: "Let me guess where Rui Rui is? Is she behind the curtains, or..."

Qin Xin stood at the door watching her older sister's performance, her little hands desperately trying to suppress the urge to speak.

Rui Rui, who was under the bed, stared wide-eyed.

She only sensed that the people walking around were gone.

The lights outside were on, and there was no sound.

She stood frozen, too afraid to move.

Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Wow!"

"what!"

Suddenly, Xiao Jiu Jiu pulled back the bed sheet and appeared upside down under the bed.

This startled Rui Rui, who was hiding under the bed, so much that she burst into tears: "Wow! A ghost! Don't eat me!"

Rui Rui cried so loudly that it attracted Wan Mengjiao from next door.

Xiao Jiu Jiu quickly knelt down and apologized: "I'm sorry, Rui Rui, shall I pull you out?"

"Rui Rui, Rui Rui?" Wan Mengjiao rushed over.

Seeing Xiao Jiu Jiu by the bedside, he asked in confusion, "Xiao Jiu, what are you doing?"

"We're playing hide-and-seek. Rui Rui is still under the bed. I just scared her. I'm sorry."

Xiao Jiu Jiu reached out her hand to Rui Rui under the bed: "Come out, Rui Rui."

"Waaah, no..." Rui Rui continued to cry, looking extremely pitiful.

Wan Mengjiao said helplessly, "Are you scared of this? It's just a small fight, come out quickly."

She was so scared that she cried while playing hide-and-seek; she's really something else.

Rui Rui said, feeling wronged, "I didn't want to either, but I was just scared, boohoo, Mommy, please don't scold me!"

"That's not what Mommy meant, baby, don't cry." Wan Mengjiao sighed helplessly, trying to pull Rui Rui out from under the bed.

Rui Rui refused to go out no matter what: "No, I won't go, waaaah."

"Rui Rui! Come out!" Wan Mengjiao had just gone back to reflect on which part of the process went wrong.

Xiao Jiu Jiu squatted down and reached out her hand, "Rui Rui, don't cry, come out quickly, it's dirty down there."

"Sister Jiu Jiu, don't scare me." Rui Rui said, looking aggrieved.

Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded: "Okay."

After Rui Rui came out, Xiao Jiu Jiu patted the dust off her clothes and touched the small bracelet on her wrist: "Aunt Wan, did you buy this bracelet for Rui Rui?"

“No, this bracelet was already there when Li Yu’an gave it to me.” Wan Mengjiao hadn’t thought about it in detail.

Just then, Xiao Jiu suddenly said, "Aunt Wan, have you ever thought that Rui Rui isn't your child...?"
