Chapter 90 - 82: Did You Miss Me 2
"Get out. Don’t make me say it again."
Fu Yuling hunched over, covering her heart with one hand, while moaning in pain and slyly observing her brother’s reaction. He remained indifferent, his furrowed brows showing impatience.
Fu Yuling couldn’t keep up the act, straightened up, and huffed at him, "You’re nicer to Fei Bai than to me!"
After saying that, she ran out and slammed the door behind her. The whole corridor echoed with the loud "bang."

On New Year’s Eve, most of the servants at Rose Manor had gone home for the holiday. Those who voluntarily stayed did so for the high wages.
Shen Jianian sat alone in the dining room, unable to feel happy in front of a table full of delicious dishes, so she invited the servants to sit down and eat with her.
The servants looked at one another but none of them moved.
Zhou Rongzhen came out of the kitchen, placed the last sweet soup on the table, and sat down, urging everyone, "Listen to Jianian, sit down and eat together."
Once someone led the way, the others became less reserved and joined in, thanking Miss Jianian as they did so.
Only then did Shen Jianian feel the atmosphere wasn’t so cold and there was a bit more festive cheer.
After a while, the cats and dogs came over too, curling up at Shen Jianian’s feet. Feeling the furry touch at her ankle, she looked down to see them circling around her and couldn’t help but smile.
