Ming Sicun usually spends the morning in a rather fragmented manner.

In the morning, I have to get up at Fu Dai Shi's time, have breakfast together, and then take a good nap after everyone goes to work. Only after lunch can I ensure that I am fully energized and play cards regularly.

It was the same today. It was almost half past eleven when Ming Sicun woke up and went back to take a nap. The kitchen had already prepared the stewed bird's nest and brought it to him.

The maid Anan ran over to report, "Madam, the young lady is back!"

Ming Sicun was still confused, "Miss? Who are you talking about?"

"Miss Jiayi, you're back from abroad. The car is at the door!"

Ming Sicun finally reacted, "Why did this kid come back by himself? Anan, go tell the eldest young master and the eldest young mistress! Mingming, get me some clothes! Oh, I have to call the master!"

While everyone was busy here, Fu Jiayi had already arrived at the door of Ming Sicun's bedroom on the second floor.

"Mom! Look who's back!"

"You girl! My dear! You miss me so much!" Ming Sicun had seen his daughter for more than half a year. He had experienced so many things in the meantime that he felt mixed emotions when he saw his daughter.

Fu Jiayi hugged her mother tightly, "Mom, why are you still crying when I'm back? Let's go downstairs and talk. I bought a lot of things for you."

"Okay, okay! I see you've lost weight again! Come back and have some good nourishment!" Ming Sicun walked while arranging for Zhang Mingming to notify the kitchen to prepare extra dishes that Jiayi liked.

Lu Qing walked into the hall and saw Fu Jiayi hugging Ming Sicun like a piece of candy, "Jiayi is back!"

"Sister-in-law!" Jiayi stood up and went over to hug Luqing. After not seeing each other for more than half a year, sister-in-law has become more mature. Her ordinary home clothes look warm and cozy. "Sister-in-law! You have worked hard! Thank you for giving me a beautiful niece!"

"Thank you! I just wanted to hold Le Ning over, but the little guy is sleeping! Maybe he's asleep!"

Ming Sicun smiled and said, "Let her sleep, don't wake her up. It's good for her to eat and sleep well. Jiayi was like this when she was a child, so it's a relief. No wonder your father said that Le Ning takes after Jiayi."

Lu Qing pulled Jiayi to sit down, "It's normal for a niece to take after her aunt! I wish Le Ning could be as smart as her aunt in the future! By the way, Jiayi, why did you come back so suddenly? You didn't even let us pick you up. Where did you get the car you were driving? Is it still on the road?"

"You saw that little junky car, right? I parked it outside the building. Hahahaha, it belongs to my classmate. It's for sale but hasn't been sold yet. I'm using it first."

Ming Sicun hurriedly asked, "What? A broken car? How many cars do we have? Your eldest brother just opened two new factories to make cars in the first half of the year. Why are you still afraid of not having a car to drive?"

"I came back for a meeting. Which car in my family doesn't look high-profile? I don't want them to have a preconceived notion of me, like a rich girl or something like that," Jiayi hugged her mother again, "I came back this time by chance. I didn't tell them in advance because I was afraid that there would be changes to the schedule and I would disappoint my parents for nothing."

Ming Sicun's face has been full of smiles since he saw Jiayi. "What's wrong? What meeting? Is there a mission for you to come back?"

"Yes, I came to the meeting on behalf of the teacher. He either came here or went to Kuala Lumpur. He couldn't decide between the two. Finally, he decided to go to Kuala Lumpur."

"Okay, okay! That's great! You can go home and rest now! How long can you stay this time? Can you stay a few more days?"

"The meeting only lasts for a week. It's a forum, and there's a day off in the middle. But the teacher promised me to take another week off, so I can stay at home for half a month."

"Half a month? That's great. I was just afraid you'd have to go back after just two or three days!" Ming Sicun looked at his daughter's outfit. "Is this popular among American students?"

"I just like wearing shirts and overalls. It's so convenient for doing experiments. Hey, brother, today is Monday, are you going to work?"

Lu Qing said, "Yes, your eldest brother is with dad. He visited a project in the suburbs this morning and is on his way back. He said he would come back for lunch."

"That's great. What about my second brother? Did he go to work? Why didn't I see my second sister-in-law and Mu Xin?"

Lu Qing was stunned. It turned out that no one had told Fu Jiayi about this. She was not in a position to say this, so she left first, pretending to go to the kitchen to prepare the dishes.

Ming Sicun sighed, "You left after the Chinese New Year, how could you know what's going on at home! Your father was worried that you would be affected and didn't let you know. Your second brother did something wrong and was kicked out by your father."

"Really? No wonder I haven't seen my second brother's family in the recent video chats with you guys. What did they do wrong? Dad is usually very forgiving."

Ming Sicun didn't want Fu Jiayi to know such an embarrassing fact, so he just said, "I was jealous of your elder brother and sister-in-law being promoted, so I did some bad things."

"Mom, if you can't say it's bad, then it's probably very wrong. Where do they live now?"

"You live in that big flat in the city, which your second brother bought with your family fund a few years ago. I remember you went to see it."

Seeing her mother was sad, Fu Jiayi brought her a cup of tea and asked, "Well, has my father calmed down now?"

"After your second brother got out, he still didn't give up and wanted to punish your eldest sister-in-law. In the end, he lost more than he gained. Now that he has sold the company, what's the point of running a sales business with your second sister-in-law?"

"Live streaming to sell goods? My second sister-in-law is a celebrity. It's not difficult for her to do this. What about my second brother?"

"They are a lot of people who did it, not just the two of them. Your brother is the one behind the scenes."

Fu Jiayi didn't expect things to turn out like this. "I've advised you guys a long time ago not to fight with Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law. Big Sister-in-law has quit Fu's company to avoid suspicion. What else do you want?"

Ming Sicun wiped his tears and said, "It's too late to know now! Every time I mentioned your second brother to your father, he either didn't say anything or tried to persuade me. In short, he didn't agree with them coming back, and he didn't agree with letting your second brother return to work in the group."

"Mom, don't be sad." Fu Jiayi handed her mother a tissue. "Take your time. If my second brother can really change, my father will forgive him, and my eldest brother and sister-in-law will also forgive him. In fact, my eldest brother and sister-in-law should still be tolerant. Otherwise, with their current strength and power, the company run by my second brother and sister-in-law will not be able to take off!"

Ming Sicun looked at her daughter and said, "I am an old lady, but I am not as open-minded as you. If I had known earlier, I would have advised your second brother more! This is my fault!"

"Mom, don't blame you! Why didn't my third brother and I have that idea? It's our own business. Mom, I'll go to my eldest sister-in-law's place and give her the gift."

"Okay, go ahead. You can't go wrong if you have more contact with your sister-in-law in the future."

Fu Jiayi took the book and went to the East Building.

Lu Qing was arranging for the servants to tidy up Jiayi's room. When she saw her sister-in-law coming, she smiled and complained, "What should I do? Your room is not tidy yet. I'll ask them to hurry up and not disturb your nap."

"It's okay. Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. This is the gift I brought you!"

Lu Qing opened the package and saw the book. She was delighted. She actually had a signed version of this book, which was given to her by Ding Yingzhen last year. But she was still happy that her sister-in-law could choose a gift for her so carefully.

"Isn't this hard to buy? You're busy enough, and you still have to spend time and effort on it. Thank you, sister-in-law!"
