Reborn as the group's favorite, becoming the favorite of the rich boss

Looking at herself in the mirror, with her pale and slightly thin cheeks, Jiang Qie raised her hand and touched her face. The real touch and the pain in her forehead, all these real feelings reminded her that she was back, back to when she was 18 years old.

"Oh, it's really absurd." Jiang Qie chuckled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. There was only one light in the bathroom, shining down from the girl's head, covering her. She was shadowy, half-hanging her head, closing her eyes, and her long and curled eyelashes trembled slightly... The long eyelashes cast a beautiful arc under the eyelids, her face was pale but her skin was still delicate and smooth.

Jiang Qie's mind was in a mess at the moment, but the scenes of her previous life still emerged in her mind, vividly. She felt ridiculous. The family affection that she cherished and longed for was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Lin family, in the eyes of her so-called mother. She was just a means for them to gain a good reputation, just a step for Lin Ning to reap the benefits.

That's right, how could anyone like me, a burden? But I was so stupid in my previous life that I ended up in disgrace and was placed under house arrest. Although I was rescued in the end, I didn't live past the age of 23.

Jiang Qie loosened his hands, which had been clenched at some point. There were five obvious nail marks on the palms. He turned on the faucet and looked at his hands being washed by cold water. His slender fingers no longer had the ugly centipede-like scars on his wrists that he had in his previous life.

It was early autumn, but the weather in Yuncheng had already started to get colder. The water was also a bit icy cold. Jiang Qie washed his hands for a while, then wiped them clean and looked at himself in the mirror again. Fortunately, everything was still in time. Let's do it again, and make the story more exciting.

Coming out of the bathroom, looking at the bedroom, this huge room, in the eyes of outsiders, is so luxurious and carefully decorated, isn't that how it gets its good reputation? Mrs. Lin and her ex-husband's child is alone, and the head of the Lin family took pity on him and took him home to raise and take care of him. What a praiseworthy story. Even Jiang Qi in his previous life felt the same way.

But think about it carefully, the room on the first floor near the stairwell, next to the nanny's room, the clothes in the closet are exquisite and gorgeous, but they are all clothes that Lin Ning has worn, and Mei said it would be a waste to throw them away. They are all clothes that have been worn several times but are still quite new. Jiang Qi still remembers the scene of the first day at the Lin family. Mrs. Lin is her so-called mother. After all, she was loved by Lin Hongkun. She has been the wife of the Lin family for so many years. She has maintained a very well-maintained face and has no shortage of jewelry. She sat on the sofa, drank afternoon tea, and wore an exaggerated and gorgeous cheongsam. She never looked at her and asked the nanny to put her luggage on the first floor, and she never asked her a question again.

"Why didn't I see it at the beginning?" Jiang Qie just thought it was ridiculous.

"Knock, knock, knock! Knock, knock, knock!" The rapid and loud knocking on the door interrupted Jiang Qi's thoughts, and it was obvious how hard the person knocking was.

"Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!" The knocking sound continued. Jiang Qie walked slowly to the door, opened it and quickly dodged. The aunt's hand that was knocking on the door was empty, and she staggered and almost fell.

The aunt looked a little embarrassed, and looked at Jiang Qie with an unhappy face: "Madam and the head of the family have returned and are preparing to have dinner. The eldest lady and the young master are also in the restaurant, waiting for you! You really think you have become a phoenix by flying up the tree and treating yourself as a lady. You are so shameless."

Jiang Qie looked at Aunt Chen's face, and it was very familiar. In the previous life, she had helped Lin Ning to harm him, using some tricks in secret, and even helped Lin Ning to collude to slander her for stealing. When he saw her again, Jiang Qie felt that meeting such an "old acquaintance" just after waking up really affected his mood.

There was only one desk lamp on in the room. Under the dim light, the girl had a slender figure. She was still wearing the white T-shirt she brought from South City. Her black pencil pants outlined her long legs. She had a beautiful face, and there was an indescribable carefreeness between her eyebrows.

Being looked at like this by the girl, Aunt Chen actually felt a little numb on her back. She pretended to be calm and straightened her chest: "What are you looking at? You are so uneducated. You really are from the countryside."

Jiang Qie didn't take Aunt Chen's words seriously, and said lightly: "No matter how uneducated I am, I am still your master, the young lady adopted by your master. As a servant, you should also behave like a servant, otherwise if people tell others, your young lady will be laughed at for not being able to discipline a servant." After saying that, he closed the door and walked towards the dining room.

Aunt Chen was speechless and had to follow him to the restaurant angrily.

When Jiang Qie arrived at the restaurant, her mother Zhou Qian was talking to Lin Ning with a smile on her face, "Ningning, you have been preparing for this Chinese painting competition for a long time. Mom believes that you will definitely be noticed by Mr. Liang at this exhibition, and maybe he will even accept you as his disciple!"

"Thank you, Mom. I will work hard and will never bring shame to our Lin family." Lin Ning said as he put some dishes into Zhou Qian's bowl.

"Sister, just be modest. I think you will definitely be accepted as a disciple by Mr. Liang. You are so outstanding, not like that idiot." Lin Hao held a chicken drumstick in his hand, his mouth full of grease, and sat lazily on the chair. The cushion was sunken, and he looked like a fat boy. But facing such a useless young boy, Lin Hongkun and Zhou Qian also looked at him with a doting smile.

Jiang Qie looked at the warm scene in the restaurant, feeling it was ironic, and walked straight into the restaurant.

When everyone saw her walk into the restaurant, their laughter stopped abruptly. Jiang Qie ignored them and went to his seat to eat. Zhou Qian looked at her daughter. She had consciously avoided her since she came to the Lin family. Whenever she saw Jiang Qie, she would think of her last failed marriage, and even felt uncomfortable recalling those days.

She herself was also very beautiful and loved beauty when she was young. Her ex-husband Jiang Yuan was also good-looking, otherwise Zhou Qian would not have married him. But Jiang Qie was born very beautiful, with skin as delicate as porcelain and extremely clear. At the dinner table, Jiang Qie's every move was generous and well-educated, but then he changed his mind and thought, how could it be possible, how could a country child be well-educated. Jiang Qie seemed to have sensed something, raised his head and looked at Zhou Qian, without a trace of ripples in his eyes, as if what Lin Hao said just now had nothing to do with her, and then continued to lower his head to eat.

Zhou Qian looked at her distant and indifferent attitude and felt ashamed. She frowned, but she still maintained the demeanor of a rich lady.

Lin Hongkun saw this and used his eyes to comfort Zhou Qian. After all, he was an old fox in the business world. He said calmly, "Jiang Qie, you came just in time. Uncle has already arranged it. You will report to Yuncheng No. 1 Middle School on Monday. They have already greeted you. When you get in, study hard and make your mother proud, okay?"
