The next morning, Ji Mo finished his glass of warm milk as usual and obediently said goodbye to his family. “Big brother, sister-in-law, second brother, and fifth sister, I’m heading to school.”

“Do you have your lunch box?” Shen Hanxing raised her head to look at him. “I had them pack some of that crispy pork that you liked last night. Finish it all, don’t waste it.”

Ji Mo held the insulated lunchbox in his hand, and his gaze drooped slightly. Actually, the food served in the cafeteria was quite delicious. Every meal was well balanced and taste better than most home lunches.

However, when he brought food from home, that meant that someone specifically observed and prepared what he wanted to eat. He never experienced someone meticulously preparing lunch for him every day. This was the warmth that came from his family.

“Thank you, sister-in-law.”

After seeing Ji Mo off, Shen Hanxing calmly instructed Auntie Chen and the butler, “Add some spicy tofu to Third Young Master’s lunch. He likes stronger flavors in his food. In addition, Mr. Ji and I won’t be back for lunch. Just prepare lunch for Xiao Ning.”

Auntie Chen and the butler nodded and memorized her instructions.

Ji Yang was sitting at the dining table and chatting with his friends on his phone. When he heard Shen Hanxing, he raised his head in surprise. “Sister-in-law, you’re going out with my big brother?”

Ever since Ji Yan injured his legs, he rarely talked or met with anyone, let alone go out.

Ji Yan did not know why, but when he saw Ji Yang’s surprised expression, he felt a little smug. Looking at his younger brother, who was still childish and fighting for Shen Hanxing’s attention, he said gently, “The weather is good today, I’m going out with your sister-in-law.”

Ji Yang felt envious. Why did his big brother get to go out with his sister-in-law?

Looking at the text messages from his scoundrel friends asking him to hang out, he impatiently replied that he was not going. Then, he threw his phone on the dining table. “Big brother, sister-in-law, where are you going? Shopping? I can help carry bags.”

Ji Ning, who always stared at the ground and remained so quiet as if she did not exist, also felt envious. She wanted to go with them but was afraid to go out. Her slender fingers gripped her spoon tightly.

“You have class today,” Shen Hanxing rejected Ji Yang without hesitation. “You are a student, so act like one. If your brother and I are free, we will visit you at school.”

Ji Yang, who wanted to protest, instantly shut his mouth when he heard this.

Ji Ning gloomily lowered her eyes on the side.

Due to her mental issues, she was afraid to interact with others, so she never went to school. Naturally, she wouldn’t receive Ji Yang’s special treatment.

However, she was still greedy. She wanted her sister-in-law to pay more attention to her. She felt that she was so selfish…Ji Ning bit her lips and tears uncontrollably welled up in her eyes.

“Xiao Ning, practice your violin at home.”

At this moment, a warm and delicate palm landed on Ji Ning’s head and gently pat her. “I’ll bring gifts for you when I come back, okay?”

The tears that Ji Ning held back with great difficulty suddenly gushed out, but Ji Ning felt as if a sea of flowers bloomed in her heart. She nodded her head vigorously to show that she understood.

Shen Hanxing saw her tears and was both surprised and helpless. She gently wiped away her tears without letting anyone else notice so that the little girl would not feel embarrassed.

After Shen Hanxing tidied up and left with Ji Yan, Ji Yang collapsed on his chair and sneered. “Cry baby.”

Ji Ning’s shoulders instantly stiffened. She did not refute him, but silently lowered her head and ate the porridge in her bowl, turning a blind eye to him.

“What else can you do besides crying all day long? You don’t act like my sister. My sister should…” Ji Yang was still chattering non-stop.

That’s right, she did not seem like a member of the Ji family at all.

It was needless to say how outstanding Ji Yan was. Even if he was crippled, he was still their superior eldest brother. Her third brother, Ji Yang, was arrogant and domineering. He was not afraid of anything. Even her youngest sixth brother was smart and well-behaved…

But what about her? She lacked self-esteem and was weak and ordinary. They were high and mighty gods, but she was a sad and lowly weed. She could not do anything well. She did not fit in with the bright and beautiful Ji family.

It was a mistake for her to be here. It was even a mistake for her to live in this world.

Ji Ning pursed her lips as her tears fell into the bowl as if they were free.

“Well, here you go…”

A large hand reached in front of her, holding a tissue. Ji Yang looked awkward. “Why are you crying? I don’t know how you have so many tears…Hurry up and wipe them off. Otherwise, if sister-in-law comes back, she’ll think that I’m bullying you.”

Although his sister-in-law was treating him well now, he did not forget how painful it was when his sister-in-law punched him.
