An Sijia’s eyes lit up even more brightly when she heard Sun Xuehui’s words.
An Ran, tomorrow will be your doom. After Boss Liu, who is as greasy as a pig, takes you, what will you have to compare with me? Clearly I am the legitimate eldest daughter of the An Family. Whether it’s my figure or my face, I am superior to you in every way, yet you somehow came out on top. Tomorrow will be the day I trample you under my feet.
As An Sijia thought about it, she felt incredibly pleased.
"Mom, when is my brother coming back? If Sicheng finds out, he might ruin things." An Sijia suddenly thought of her brother. Although he seldom came back after going to a boarding school, he had a better relationship with An Ran than with her, his own sister.
"Don’t worry, your brother won’t be back until the day after tomorrow. By the time he comes back, everything will be settled. Besides, a child won’t interfere in adult affairs." What An Sijia could think of, Sun Xuehui definitely had already considered. Everything was within her calculations; she was just waiting for that wild girl to come back tomorrow.
An Ran hung up the phone and didn’t mention going home until she finished her day’s work. Manager Song didn’t say much and directly instructed the finance department to pay her for the past few days, and reminded her that she was welcome anytime.
After taking care of everything, An Ran bought a ticket and went home the next day.
To her surprise, Sun Xuehui and her daughter were already waiting for her at the station.
When she got off the bus, Sun Xuehui enthusiastically greeted her: "Ran, you’re finally back. You haven’t even called during this time, are you still upset about me not letting you go to school?"
An Sijia chimed in from the side, "Sis, Mom didn’t let you go to school because she wanted you to help Dad. You’re better at studying than I am, and you can help out with the company more. Now that you’ve gone to school as you wished, don’t dwell on that anymore. You see, you didn’t come back these days and Mom kept nagging at me, blaming me for not waiting to come back with you."
Looking at the enthusiastic mother and daughter, An Ran felt that it was somewhat surreal; she never knew she was so welcomed in the An Family.
An Ran understood the principle of not hitting a smiling face. In the busy station, she naturally wouldn’t embarrass Sun Xuehui. She smiled slightly and said, "No, Mom, I understand the family’s difficulties. I just thought I could earn a bit during the holidays to lighten Dad’s burden."
"You child, you’re too sensible. If only Sijia were as sensible as you, your dad would have fewer worries." Sun Xuehui was practically moved to tears, making An Ran’s lips twitch.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Sun Xuehui helped An Ran put her luggage into the car and directly drove her to a large restaurant.
"Sijia, since your sister is back today, we won’t eat at home. I’ll take you out to eat." Sun Xuehui said while looking for a parking spot.
"Mom, you’re so biased. You never took me out for a meal when I came back." An Sijia pouted and replied coquettishly.
"You brat! Your sister didn’t come back last holiday, and it’s been over half a year since she came home. What’s wrong with me being nicer to her? Are you really jealous over this? How about next time both of you come back together and I’ll guarantee equal treatment for both."
Listening to the mother and daughter jokingly bantering, An Ran had no intention of joining the conversation. She had long seen through what kind of people they were. They were being unusually kind without any reason, which meant they were up to something. She just didn’t know what they were planning tonight.
