While lying on her bed, Mei Yangyang scrolled through her phone and stared at his mobile number. She found a photo of herself pouting like a goldfish and decided to send it to him, along with a text message which read: “Take a look at me when you’re upset. Don’t you feel better now?”

Not long after, he replied.

It was a short and brief sentence: “Good girl, little piggy.”

Upon reading the message, Mei Yangyang quickly began to blush as red as a tomato, her blood rushing to the veins on her face.

Despite having put away her phone, she was still shy as ever as her brain was flooded with the words, “Good girl.”

Since she had nothing much to do at home, Mrs. Jin decided to brew a pot of nourishing soup for An Xiaoning, which she personally delivered to her house early in the morning.

Feeling a sudden warmth in her heart, An Xiaoning said, “Mother, did you prepare this especially for me?”

“Of course, it’s all yours, and none for Qingyan.” Mrs. Jin placed the soup on the table and instructed Auntie Chen, “Bring a bowl and a spoon here.”

“Alright.”

An Xiaoning took a seat and, at the sight of the soup getting poured out of the container, exclaimed, “It smells delicious!”

“I especially attended classes just to learn how to prepare this soup. It’s the most nourishing and beneficial for women,” Mrs. Jin said, grinning from ear to ear.

An Xiaoning gave the soup a few puffs to cool it before tasting a mouthful, after which she said in delight, “It’s so delicious! Since it’s all for me, I shall finish it to the last drop.”

Having witnessed everything before him, Jin Qingyan interrupted, “That’s plain favoritism, Mother, all you care about is your daughter-in-law. Why didn’t you cook for me too? I’m your son. Xiaoning, did you know? In all the years after I’ve moved out to live alone, my mother has never once brought me soup personally.”

“Is that so? Thank you, Mother,” said An Xiaoning, who found Mrs. Jin’s gesture very heartwarming.

Mrs. Jin was delighted to see how well they got along with each other. “She’s my daughter-in-law. If not her, who else am I going to dote on? Everything’s been going rather well lately, except with your sister, who’s causing me so much worry. She even stays out late every night, I’m really at my wits’ end. There’s no way I can take her in hand anymore,” said Mrs. Jin.

“Well, then, just wash your hands off her matters and let her be. She’s only going to realize her mistakes when it’s too late. Shi Shaochuan ran Wang Fangfang over before strangling her to death, just so he could get her off his back. I doubt Qingyue can make such a malicious person like him change his ways. We’ll observe if changing her fate really works. If it doesn’t make much of a difference, then we’ll just leave her be in the future.”

“Got it, I’ll head home now,” Mrs. Jin agreed with a nod.

Just as Mrs. Jin left, Fan Shixin entered through the door and stood next to Jin Qingyan. He whispered into Jin Qingyan’s ear, after which, a sullen expression formed on his face.

“Got it.”

Fan Shixin nodded and turned around to leave.

“What’s the matter?” An Xiaoning asked as she took a sip of the soup.

“Let’s have our meal first. I’ll bring you to see something after we’re done.”

“Alright,” she agreed with a nod.
