“Xiaotao, you’re back.” Yin Dong was sitting on the sofa in the hall. When he saw Yin Tao and Yin Hao enter, he put down the Financial Times in his hands.

“Dad.”

Yin Tao greeted Yin Dong cautiously. Although Yin Dong’s attitude towards her had changed drastically, Yin Tao was still not used to interacting with him. “Big sister, welcome home.” Yin Ning was looking classy and graceful in an elegant white dress.

Yin Tao faked a smile and looked at Yin Hao gratefully. If he hadn’t brought her to change her clothes, the contrast between the two of them would have been stark.

“Taotao, you’re back!” Zhao Ling was wearing a peach-colored silk dress.

Although her figure was a little out of shape, the glittery jewelry made her look very good. She welcomed Yin Tao warmly when she saw her come in.

“Eldest Aunt.” Yin Tao had always had a good impression of her eldest aunt. It was obvious that the original Yin Tao had received more maternal love from her than Zhao Yue.

“Taotao is really becoming prettier and prettier.” Zhao Ling felt that Yin Tao seemed to have grown up a lot. She was no longer as willful as before. The current Yin Tao looked very sensible, but she couldn’t help feeling sorry for her.

“Is your work going well?” Zhao Ling lowered her voice, not wanting others to hear her conversation with Yin Tao. “Didn’t I say that you can work at our family business? You don’t have to work so hard every day.”

“Eldest Aunt, why don’t you let me work in your company? Your nephew is working very hard now.” Yin Hao stuck his head between Zhao Ling and Yin Tao and whined deliberately.

“Shoo! Don’t act pitiful here. Your company isn’t smaller than our family’s. ‘ Zhao Ling patted Yin Hao’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Moreover, you’re too clever. I wouldn’t dare to use you in business, you’ll outwit me sooner or later.’

The few of them chatted happily. Yin Dong was also much happier because of Yin Tao’s presence, and the house became much livelier.

Yin Ning sat on a chair by the side and felt very uncomfortable watching the smiling Yin Tao. Yin Ning knew very well that Zhao Ling didn’t like her, and now even Yin Hao was favoring Yin Tao over herself.

Zhao Yue and the other relatives came downstairs and realized that Yin Tao and Yin Hao had already returned home. As it was a family meal, the format was more simple and casual. Everyone chatted as they took their seats at the table.

Yin Tao wasn’t familiar with these relatives. Even in the original Yin Tao’s memories, she didn’t know much about them. Some of them were shareholders in the company and thus they had more frequent interactions. Some were distant relatives who wanted to benefit from the Yin family’s influence, Yin Dong was after all the most successful of them all, and everyone wanted to be in his good books.

Yin Tao didn’t say much throughout the entire meal, and no one paid her much attention either. The focus was on Yin Nings dance troupe and Zhao Yuey was filled with pride when she talked about Yin Ning.

“Taotao, eat more. You’re too skinny. You can’t go on like this.” Zhao Ling didn’t care about the gazes of others and kept piling Yin Tao’s plate.

Yin Tao saw that Zhao Ling had already piled up a mountain of food on her plate and hurriedly stopped her. “Aunt, I can’t eat so much.”

Yin Ning noticed Yin Tao and Zhao Ling and deliberately raised her voice while she stood up and poured Yin Tao a glass of fruit juice. “Sister, it’s just that Aunt feels sorry for you. You should eat more as you work so hard.”

After saying that, Yin Ning pretended to realize that what she said was inappropriate and quietly returned to her seat.

Everyone was well aware of Yin Tao’s work. Zhao Yue had always been very happy with Yin Tao’s work, so no one would mention this on such a day.

However, it was precisely because of Yin Ning’s seemingly unintentional act that the atmosphere at the dining table suddenly became much more awkward.

“Xiaotao should eat more.” Yin Dong broke the silence at the dining table and placed a large piece of lobster on Yin Tao’s plate. He said, “Chief Wang mentioned to me that Xiaotao’s performance at the police station is outstanding. Keep up the good work! If you need any help, just tell Dad. The Yin family is your backing. You don’t have to worry about anything.”

What Yin Dong said got everyone at the dining table thinking. Although Zhao

Yue’s attitude towards Yin Tao was very obvious, Yin Dong was now clearly on Yin Tao’s side. Everyone could see where the wind was blowing and started becoming friendlier to Yin Tao. After all, Yin Dong still had the last word in the Yin home..
