Nie Jiqing couldn’t confirm Ye Zhi’s identity, so she couldn’t express too much of her emotion. Even if she wanted to ask Ye Zhi some questions, she had to remain calm and not make the girl suspicious.
Nie Jiqing was lost in thoughts for a while before she chose a necklace from her collection.
Later, she could only use Sheng Man’s affairs as an excuse to give the necklace to Ye Zhi as compensation and take the opportunity to ask some questions.
Waiting for Ye Zhi’s arrival became extremely long and difficult with every second. When the doorbell rang out sweetly, Nie Jiqing stood up from the sofa and walked quickly towards the door.
As soon as the door opened, a beautiful figure appeared at the door.
Zhao Ma saw Nie Jiqing smile at her very affectionately, her treatment towards the girl seeming to be a lot more loving than how she treated the Lady.
How could the important guest be the person that the Lady hated the most?
Ye Zhi.
Nie Jiqing tried her best to keep her smile from being so obvious, lest Ye Zhi would notice that something was amiss.
Nie Jiqing personally took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and wanted to put them in front of Ye Zhi, “These are new slippers, no one has worn them before.”
Ye Zhi was surprised due to the kind treatment as she immediately squatted down, “I’ll do it myself.”
Nie Jiqing knew that she had done too much, but still, she couldn’t help but want to care more about Ye Zhi.
When Ye Zhi changed her shoes and walked into the living room, Nie Jiqing walked beside her, “I asked the chef to prepare some meals, but I don’t know if it suits your liking.”
Ye Zhi thought she was just coming over to say a few words, so she wasn’t expecting to have a meal here. However, when she saw Nie Jiqing, she couldn’t refuse her offer.
“I’m not a picky eater.”
Nie Jiqing noticed that Ye Zhi had hesitated for a while. Despite that reluctance, she agreed to stay. That agreement instantly lightened Nie Jiqing’s mood.
The table was already full of various kinds of food and the inviting fragrance was wafting throughout the entire room. Ye Zhi was startled when she saw the extravagant display of contrasting dishes.
Nie Jiqing pulled back the chair next to her for Ye Zhi to sit down in. Then, she scooped her a bowl of soup herself, “Drink some soup first.”
Zhao Ma, who stood on the sidelines, was stunned. It was the first time she saw Madam in such a good mood. In the past, there was a faint tinge of regret and sadness in her smile, but now, it was as clear as day that her joy was genuine.
As someone who had worked for the Sheng family for a long time, Zhao Ma knew about the hidden truth. She knew that the biological daughter of the Sheng family was lost and Sheng Man was just an adopted daughter.
Although Sheng Man usually did a great job to coax a laugh out of the Madam, her current smile was most genuine.
Because Ye Zhi had the memories of the original owner and still remembered the plot in the book, she knew what the Sheng family did to the original owner, which was why she was initially slightly conflicted.
Now that Nie Jiqing behaved this way, Ye Zhi began to feel uncomfortable. She immediately took the bowl from her,”You don’t have to do this, I can do it myself.”
Nie Jiqing suppressed her disappointment and withdrew her hand. Seeing the suspiciousness in Ye Zhi’s eyes, she could only lead the topic away.
Although Nie Jiqing was extremely unwilling to mention Sheng Man at this time, she had to use Sheng Man’s affairs to alleviate Ye Zhi’s doubts.
