Going Home

At Baicheng Airport, the plane landed steadily.

At the arrival gate, the butler was pacing back and forth. He looked inside, trying to find an ordinary-looking and rustic-looking village girl.

The real daughter of the Zhang family, Qi Ying.

The Zhang family was a famous family in Baicheng. The Zhang couple had only given birth to Zhang Ning after many years.

However, there was an accident. Zhang Ning needed a blood transfusion for her injury. The Zhang couple had type O blood, but Zhang Ning had type B blood. Only then did everyone realize that Zhang Ning was not the Zhang couple's biological daughter. There was a mistake that caused them to bring the wrong child home.

After a few twists and turns, the Zhang family finally found their real daughter.

However, their real daughter had long been stranded in the countryside and did not seem to have gone to school much. She was probably just a village girl.

The arrivals gate opened, and people filed out. The butler stood on tiptoe, grumbling inwardly that this family was unwilling to book the poor child a first-class cabin, forcing him to wait at this crowded economy-class exit.

Just as the butler was looking around, a cat-like girl stood in front of him.

The girl had smooth long straight hair and bangs. She wore an exquisite woolen hat and a simple black coat, revealing her white innerwear.

Although she was dressed simply, she exuded an air of nobility with every movement, especially her cat eyes, which were slightly upturned. They were sensitive and beautiful, as if they had the ability to see through everything.

"Butler Ji?" The girl tilted her head slightly and asked.

The butler's mouth fell open in shock and he could not speak properly. "Miss… Miss Qi Ying?"

The girl nodded.

The butler marveled at this real young lady's extraordinary bearing despite growing up in the countryside as he led her to the parking lot.

"Today is the day you meet Master and Madam. It's also Second Miss' birthday. I'll bring you to Jin Ning Restaurant now. They will welcome you there today and celebrate Second Miss' birthday."

Qi Ying did not say anything. She only nodded slightly to indicate that she had heard him.

The butler was a little surprised. This legitimate daughter was not angry that her parents did not come to pick her up personally. She was not angry when she heard that her welcome banquet was held together with her sister's birthday party.

Was she that strong willed? Even if she grew up in the countryside, could she still grow up to be a socialite from an aristocratic family?

At this moment, in a luxurious private room on the second floor of Jin Ning Restaurant, a girl in a western dress was silently crying. A middle-aged couple beside her was comforting her.

"Ningning, we're just bringing her back. You're the one we care about the most. You're our treasure."

Zhang Ning's eyes were red as she nodded slightly.

"Don't you love chocolate cake? Daddy prepared three layers of chocolate ice cream cake for you. It's from your favorite shop."

Zhang Heng took the cake out of the freezer and waved it in front of Zhang Ning.

Meng Lin even hugged Zhang Ning intimately. "Baby, stop crying. We won't be staying with that girl for long. Didn't you give her your previous engagement?"

Hearing about the engagement, Zhang Ning trembled.

"Really? Mom, I don't have to marry that vegetable anymore?" she asked as she held Meng Lin's hand tightly.

Meng Lin nodded.

Zhang Ning smiled through her tears. "I'll help Sister learn etiquette. Since she will marry that person on my behalf, I can't let her embarrass our family."

Zhang Heng and Meng Lin could not help but be happy when they saw their daughter's smile.

If they had a choice, they would definitely choose this elegant and obedient fake daughter over that crude country girl.

If it weren't for the fact that the search for the child had blown up, as a wealthy family, they wouldn't have been willing to bring the child back.

In the entire Zhang family, perhaps only Grandma Zhang wanted to find this granddaughter.

Just as the family was enjoying themselves, the door was suddenly pushed open. The black-clothed girl stood outside the door, her cat eyes sizing up the people in the room. Behind her was the butler.

The Zhang family was shocked to see her like this.

Was this temperament something a country girl should have?

"You are?"

"Qi Ying." Qi Ying sat down on the other side of the dining table and glanced at the family opposite her.

"Ah, I know." Meng Lin realized that this child was her child and quickly introduced, "Xiao Ying, I'm Mom, this is Dad, and this is your sister, Zhang Ning. You can just call her Xiao Ning. Since your name is Qi Ying and your surname will still be Zhang in the future, let's call you Zhang Ying…"

"There's no need to change my surname." Qi Ying looked at Meng Lin, her eyes as cold as ice.

"What?" When Zhang Heng heard this, he frowned. "Since you're my child, how can your surname not be Zhang?"

"My name can't be changed. Besides, I don't have any deep connections with the Zhang family."

She looked up at the Zhang family and nodded slightly. "That's all. I'm going to eat."

Ignoring the surprised looks of the Zhang family in front of her, she began to eat. Her actions were elegant, but she frowned slightly, as if she despised these dishes.

Qi Ying's real name was Qi Ying. She was a witch who had transmigrated. In another world, she had once studied under a very powerful witch surnamed Qi. Later on, she established her own sect and became a solo witch for many years.

The cultivation of a witch required decades of perseverance. Food, sleep, and training time were all strictly controlled.

The dishes that the Zhang family had ordered today were all meat dishes with a sweet taste. They were not suitable food for witches.

"Put down your chopsticks. What do you mean by not having a deep relationship? Did our Zhang family mobilize so much manpower and resources to look for you just to let you say these words?"

Zhang Heng slammed the table, and the plates on the table shook.

Zhang Ning was secretly happy to see her father angry.

"Daddy, calm down. Sister, everyone in the family was looking forward to your return. If you say that, Mom and Dad will be sad."

Qi Ying's cat-like eyes darted around the family's faces and finally stopped on Zhang Ning's face. "This is an objective fact. Everything has a spirit. Whether spirits interact or not is predestined. I don't have any interaction with the Zhang family. It's just predestined."

Zhang Ning thought that Qi Ying was going to throw a tantrum, but she did not expect her to calmly say a bunch of words that she did not understand. She was about to speak when Qi Ying interrupted her.

"However, your interaction with the Zhang family is very deep. According to your astrology chart, the auspicious star has landed in a hidden place. You relied on your parents to protect you for the first half of your life, but the second half of your life is prone to twists and turns. In the end, it's easy to achieve nothing and lose all your wealth."

When Zhang Ning heard this, she was shocked and tears welled up in her eyes. "Dad, Mom, why did Sister curse me the moment she arrived? What auspicious star? What hidden place? Don't talk nonsense."
