“Yu’er, don’t think too much.” Mo Long wrapped his arms around Jiang Yu. “Get some rest. Once you get some sleep, everything will be settled.”

“Okay.” Jiang Yu obediently went to the bathroom to take a shower. After she came out, she lay on the bed to rest.

It was a dreamless night.

When Jiang Yu woke up the next day, Mo Long was no longer by her side. She touched the pillow. There was still some residual temperature on it. It seemed that Mo Long had just left not long ago.

Jiang Yu sat up on the bed and saw a glass of warm milk on the bedside table. Mo Long must have asked the maid to bring it up when he left.

“Ding –” Jiang Yu’s phone rang. Someone had sent her a message.

She opened her phone and saw that it was a message from Mo Long. “I have work to deal with at the company today. I’ll go back first. You stay at the Kang residence for now. I’ll come visit you later.”

Jiang Yu replied, “Got it. Focus on your work.”

After she replied, she drank the milk on the bedside table and went downstairs with the empty cup.

Downstairs, Xin Xiu and Kang Qi were sitting on two sofas. One of them was reading a magazine while the other was drinking coffee. They just didn’t want to talk to each other.

When Xin Xiu saw Jiang Yu go downstairs, she hurriedly threw the magazine in her hand onto the coffee table and walked over with a smile. Her attitude was as if she was very familiar with Jiang Yu.

Although Jiang Yu was not used to people she was not familiar with acting so familiar with her, the person in front of her was her first aunt after all. Therefore, Jiang Yu still said very politely, “Good morning, first aunt.”

“Good morning.” Xin Xiu beamed. “Mo Long left early in the morning. I heard that he will come to see you in the evening.”

“I know. He told me,” said Jiang Yu as she went to the kitchen to put away the cup of water.

“Xiao Yu, do you have anything you want to do today?” Xin Xiu asked. “First aunt will take you out to play later, right?”

Hearing this, Kang Qi finally put down the coffee in his hand and smiled. “Sister-in-law, even Xiao Xuan from before didn’t see you being so attentive.”

“What do you care?” Xin Xiu didn’t have such a good attitude towards Kang Qi. “You should mind your own business first. Has Shang Ping Company’s financial crisis been resolved?”

Xin Xiu’s words hit Kang Qi’s sore spot, and Kang Qi’s expression immediately turned cold. “I respect you as my sister-in-law, but don’t rely on your identity to act unscrupulously here.”

“You also know that I’m your sister-in-law?” Xin Xiu was not afraid of Kang Qi at all. “Then why did you say such disrespectful words to me?”

“Am I not respectful enough to you?” Kang Qi said disdainfully. “Could it be that what I said just now was not the truth?”

“Then what I said just now was a lie?”

Jiang Yu was sandwiched between the two of them and could not get a word in edgewise. Moreover, the atmosphere between the two of them had become so tense that even if Jiang Yu wanted to speak, she could not get a word in edgewise.

Therefore, she took advantage of the moment when Xin Xiu and Kang Qi were looking at each other and quickly ran outside.

“Phew…” Jiang Yu heaved a long sigh of relief and only then did she feel the oppressive feeling disappear.

Although it was a happy thing to have her family back, the atmosphere in the Kang family was different from what Jiang Yu had imagined.

Everyone looked at Jiang Yu with a scrutinizing gaze. It was as if everyone was calculating the will in her hands.

“It’s too messy here,” Jiang Yu muttered to herself. Just as she was about to go to the backyard to get some fresh air, she saw a young woman dressed very fashionably walk in from the door.

The woman was wearing a pair of sunglasses and was a little stunned when she saw Jiang Yu. She took off her sunglasses and asked uncertainly, “Are Yyu Jiang Yu?”

Jiang Yu nodded. “Yes, it’s me.”

The woman smiled and stretched out her hand. “Hello, my name is Shang Wen.”

So the person in front of her was Aunt Kang Qi’s daughter — Shang Wen.

Jiang Yu held Shang Wen’s hand and said politely, “Sister Shang Wen, Hello.”

“You’re welcome.” Shang Wen smiled. “Oh right, have you seen my mother?”

Jiang Yu pointed at the house behind her hesitantly and said, “She’s in the house. Yes… my first aunt is here too.”

“It’s alright. The two of them often quarrel. Grandpa can’t do anything to them sometimes.” Shang Wen didn’t think it was a big deal. He was probably used to the bickering between them.

“I see.” Jiang Yu nodded and decided to go to the backyard for some fresh air.

However, Shang Wen had already entered the house.

Kang Qi was still quarreling with Xin Xiu. When she saw Shang Wen enter, her attention was immediately diverted.

“Wen Wen, why are you dressed like this again?” Kang Qi’s expression didn’t look too good.

“I don’t have much time left anyway. Of course, I have to wear the clothes I like.” Shang Wen shrugged and laughed loudly.
