Penetrating her walls

Chen Yi sighed. Once the silence dominated the surroundings, Housekeeper Zhen said from the entrance. "Eldest Miss... Welcome back!" In his eyes, there was an inexplicable emotion. Something akin to incredulity, pride, and admiration.

In his memories, Chen Yi used to be a submissive girl with a passive personality.

However, today she truly astonished him. The way she had handled the situation, tactfully and without showing any opening for her opponent to attack, it felt like she was no longer the simple girl he once knew.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhen." Chen Yi faced the warm-looking old man. She smiled. At least there was someone left in this home to welcome her. "Thank you for all those years after my parent's death, you have been secretly looking out for me. I had been ignorant in the past and failed to appreciate your kindness. For all that you have done for me, I thank you."
