I think my luck is turning around.

Inside the Treasure Pavilion, the little girl sat behind the counter, a ledger in her hand, a new ledger. At an age when she should be innocent and carefree, her eyes revealed a quiet understanding of everything.

"Holy Maiden, the news has been released. When do we carry out the tasks assigned by the Patriarch?"

Lin Zimeng stood behind the little girl. Although his posture was respectful, he still showed a sense of disapproval when talking about the head of the family. The little girl closed the account book and gave Lin Zimeng an annoyed look.

"Let's wait on that matter. We've just arrived here, so we should go and pay our respects to Mr. Ji first."

"The Lin family never bows to Ji Xia; it's a family rule."

"What if I insist on going?"

The young girl's words were never meant to be discussed, but rather to be announced. She walked straight out of the Treasure Pavilion, though she didn't know the way herself, she was sure the passersby would. After asking around, she arrived smoothly at the gates of the Ji residence.

Those people naturally wouldn't disobey her. She was a saintess, a sacrifice returned from the demon's lair, someone even the Lin family respected, someone they couldn't control.

"Lin Yunxi wants to see Ji Xia."

Lin Yunxi stood upright, while Steward Wang at the door looked at the young girl with great suspicion. Her attire suggested a wealthy family, but among the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, there was no one like Lin Yunxi. Naturally, one would think of the newly opened Qizhen Pavilion, which was said to be from the Three Gorges, and was most likely surnamed Lin.

"Let me go and inform them. You can have a cup of tea here first."

The people from the Ji family led Lin Yunxi to sit down in the reception room. The news about Steward Wang quickly reached Ji Xia's ears. Upon hearing the name, Ji Xia disregarded everything else and excitedly went to the reception room.

Perhaps because her body hadn't fully grown yet, Lin Yunxi really liked the sweet snacks on the table and couldn't help but pick them up and start eating.

Ji Xia entered the reception room and looked at the little girl who was swinging her legs because she had eaten something delicious. She was very excited. She had really been reincarnated. She had not been scattered, had not lost her memory, and had come back to find her.

Tears instantly welled up in his eyes, and a wave of bittersweet emotions washed over him again. For so many years, Ji Xia had never dared to think of that family of three; they had all been so kind to him, and then vanished without a trace, making them impossible to find. Over these many days and nights, Ji Xia had wondered if, in his next life, they would come looking for him again. Would they still remember what happened between them?

"Uncle Ji!"

Lin Yunxi's voice was quite loud! The entire living room was filled with her voice. Ji Xia happily walked to Lin Yunxi's side, looking around with a joyful expression of having something lost and then found again.

"What are you looking at, Uncle Ji? I'm doing very well now. I even came all the way to the capital to see you."

"Just remember me..."

Actually, there are many things I want to say, but I don't know where to begin. There are always so many bitter things I can't mention.

"What do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you myself."

"I want to eat the noodles you make."

At this moment, Ji Xia truly saw that child, the child she had watched grow up from childhood. A wave of bitterness welled up in her heart; this child had suffered so much hardship and difficulty. Long ago, after her parents disappeared, Ji Xia took on the responsibility of caring for Lin Yunxi, essentially raising the child herself. Yet, the child still had a difficult life, encountering the wrong people.

Ji Xia led Lin Yunxi to the kitchen. Ji Xia hadn't cooked in a long time, at least not during her time in this country.

As soon as they arrived in the kitchen, Manager Wang cleared the area. Everyone looked at Ji Xia with curiosity, having never seen Mr. Ji cook before! They were really curious. Manager Wang had arranged for an assistant to help out, but it seemed unnecessary. Lin Yunxi was naturally helping Ji Xia out from the side.
