Tricked by the cousins

The restaurant they were eating at was suggested by Yi Yiren as it was private and he knew the owner. It was new in town but had one of the best services and quality cuisine of all kinds. The workers were cordial and polite. Pulling off such a place effortlessly piqued Yue Ling's interest and she stopped feeling sad about their high sky prices

She appreciated this place and looked forward to coming again.

Yue Ling was having lunch with Yiren as the latter kept assessing his cousin. Yue Ling used to come over as a child to play at their home and she was very quiet,she had now grown up and would answer when necessary. Bingbing had told him that they had gotten closer and he was glad. He couldn't help but wish inwardly that the same would happen with him too.

The Yi family treated the females better than the males as they rarely had females each generation. There was a silly belief that they were cursed not to have females, Elder Yi was worse as he didn't allow any body lay a finger on the two granddaughters ever since their childhood.

If Bingbing had done something wrong,one way or another Yiren had to pay for it as it was already certain he was the one setting a bad example.

Yiren also wanted to hate his sisters at one point but he just couldn't.

Yue Ling was looking at her cousin too from time to time observing. In her past life,he had died early due to a few reasons. Not all good people had happy endings.

"How have you been, brother Yiren!",she asked. She hadn't been like this in the past and they would rarely talk. He deeply cared for her but in her past life she stopped calling him "brother"when they were kids.

"I've been well, how was life all alone,"he asked sincerely. He heard from quite a few people that she had changed and he confirmed it today. His sister had changed for the better but they all felt sad as to why she left. They felt responsible.

"Pretty good as I've been spending brother's money..,"she answered jokingly. She wanted to brush off the sadness that came with her departure then. She wouldn't blame them like in her past life when she believed they owed her.

Yiren laughed at her joke and said,"Grandpa's bragging about the new doctor in the family now."He pouted in jealousy. He was quite happy that Grandpa's wish was fulfilled finally. Their family greatly emphasised on family members controlling the businesses.

"Yes,it's quite hard, bring out your red packets real quick,"she said proudly.

Anybody who didn't know better would be shocked at how childish Yiren would get around his sisters,he wasn't the same straightforward and serious businessman.

"This big brother says money will corrupt your mind,"he answered faking seriousness. Yue Ling had surprisingly been a kid who loved money when she was young. He thought she'd follow him into business.

Yue Ling laughed the most today ever since she was reborn. All this in regards to Yiren 's cheerful side.

"Ling'er, mother wants to meet you too,"Yiren suddenly said anticipating her reply.

"Sure, anytime is okay since I'm not busy,"she replied, her aunt had helped her with getting a house and they hadn't met properly yet.

Today it is then, Yiren spoke immediately.

Yiren had actually left home with this plan in mind and his mother and sister were actually counting on him to bring Yue Ling over for a visit.

Yue Ling noticed his decisiveness and agreed,she had this feeling that he wanted this from the beginning.

Since they become closer after the conversation, lunch became livelier with the two and occasionally Yiren would put a few dishes into Yue Ling's bowl. They ordered a few hot dishes as these ones had gotten a bit cold due to their conversation.

She ate them and the two left soon after Yiren paid for the food.

"Did you like the place?",he asked.

"It's quite good,"Yue Ling answered.

Come here anytime,he said.

Yue Ling wondered if there was more to it but she laughed it off agreeing to come by.

They walked to the parking lot and Yue Ling followed Yiren to where his car was parked. She had no car as of now but had a chauffeur provided by Yi Shuyan whenever she wanted to go anywhere. She sent him a message to leave as she was going to go with Yiren.

Yi Yiren 's black SUV looked new and Yue Ling had a feeling that he over prepared for their meeting. He didn't usually drive and most certainly not such brands, this was Bingbing's choice of car as she had observed. She now strongly believed that he already planned to take her home to visit and the idea of him becoming a chauffeur was Bingbing's idea.

Yiren drove steadily and Yue Ling was looking outside the window. Alot had changed around the country.

As they approached the Street where the home was Yue Ling couldn't help but remember when Yi Shuyan brought her over to her uncle 's place. She always felt excited in her heart then because Yiren and Bingbing were like a brother and sister she never had. Her uncle also doted on her and her aunt was very kind to her. It wasn't like in the Lin Family where not everyone liked her.

They stepped out of the car when they reached inside and walked towards the house. The place was still the same and the fruit trees and peach blossoms weren't gone. Her aunt cared a great deal about her trees since she believed nature contributes a great deal to the appearance of a place.

The compound was big bad she could still see Aunt Ximei and Bingbing at the entrance.

Lu Ximei hugged Yue Ling and couldn't stop the tears from falling.
