Chapter 3: Chapter 003. Welcome home
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In her previous life, this welcome party was not held.
There were people in the Zhuang family who welcomed her. Naturally, there would also be people who were unhappy that she came from a lowly background, but suddenly out of nowhere took the position of the Zhuang family’s lady.
When the luxurious Bentley drove into the Zhuang family’s courtyard, Zhuang Xian finally snapped out of her reminiscence.
Lin En held her hand and walked through the Zhuang family’s entrance.
Zhuang Xian was not a sentimental person, but at this moment, many complicated emotions emerged in her heart.
Things had remained the same, but people had changed. This home was still the home, but she was no longer the same person.
She swore to herself that she would live a different life this time.
“Your room is the innermost room on the second floor. The lighting is very good, so you should like it. Rest for a while before I take you to your room!” Lin En said.
“Yes, thank you!” Zhuang Xian nodded.
Lin En was very meticulous. She had arranged for Zhuang Xian to stay in almost every room, and it seemed like she had put a lot of thought into the decorations of the rooms.
In the afternoon, Zhuang Ming went back to the company, leaving Lin En and Zhuang Xian at home. The wind blowing in the courtyard felt very comfortable on her face. Zhuang Xian looked at Lin En and listened attentively to her.
“I heard from the director that you like to draw, is that right?” Lin En asked.
Zhuang Xian nodded her head obediently. It was not as simple as she liked it. She already had a slightly famous studio under her. She could be considered a nouveau riche in the design industry now. The works that were produced by her were very popular.
Lin En wanted to say something more but was interrupted by the butler, Uncle Chang.
“Madam, Young lady Jie has come to see you!”
Lin En was a little surprised. “Zhuang Jie? What is she doing here at this time?”
Without waiting for Uncle Chang to answer Lin En’s question, Zhuang Jie walked over to them. “Aunt!”
Lin En smiled at her. “Come quickly!”
Zhuang Xian looked at Zhuang Jie, her deep eyes flashing with a dark light. Zhuang Jie still came.
In her previous life, the day she stepped into the Zhuang family, Zhuang Jie also used the excuse of delivering something to her to test the situation. It was like a ghost that refused to leave!
The waters at the Zhuang family’s old residence were very deep. The fact that Zhuang Ming and Lin En had an adopted daughter out of the blue, of course, they could not just ignore it.
Zhuang Jie was a very beautiful girl, but beside Zhuang Xian, she was a little dim.
Zhuang Xian was born a beauty. Although she was still young and her exquisite facial features were not fully developed, it was not difficult to tell that she would be a beauty that could cause the downfall of a city in the future.
“What is this?” Zhuang Jie asked, pretending to be confused.
Lin En smiled and took Zhuang Xian’s hand. “Xian, this is your older Aunt’s daughter. Her name is Zhuang Jie.”
Zhuang Xian looked at her and suppressed the indignance in her heart. “Hello, Sister.”
“Ah? Who is she, Aunt? How come I didn’t know that there’s a little sister in the house?” Zhuang Jie’s acting skills were still much more immature compared to her previous life. Although she looked confused, there was an unconcealed disdain in her eyes.
Lin En and Zhuang Ming were able to build a business group together, so he was naturally not a fool. Zhuang Jie’s cover was all seen by her. “Xian will be mine and your uncle’s precious daughter from now on. You two have to get along well.”
Lin en brushed off her somewhat hostile probing with a single stroke. Since Zhuang Jie had come to check on the situation in such a hurry, she was afraid that her family must have sent her.
The old family’s hands were reaching out longer and longer.
Zhuang Xian knew what Zhuang Jie’s sore spot was. Every time it was mentioned, Zhuang Jie would explode. “This sister is calling you Aunt?” she asked, puzzled. And her surname is Zhuang, why is that, mom?”
Lin En looked at Zhuang Xian in surprise. She did not expect her precious daughter to call her ‘mom’ so quickly.
She was excited. “Oh, this! In the beginning, she conformed to her father’s surname and was called Zhang Jie, but your aunt said that she had always been in poor health, so she especially looked for a master to read her fortune. The surname of the Zhuang family is tremendous and can suppress evil, so she changed her surname to Zhuang.”
Lin En was sure that she saw some slyness and naughtiness in Zhuang Xian’s eyes. This child … Was quite smart.
Lin En was dissatisfied that the people from the old mansion/extended family had been pointing fingers at both her and Zhuang Ming. She had only given them some attention because of Zhuang Ming.
