After being reborn, I'm no longer going to play the role of a spoiled rich kid.

Chapter 120 Wei Ning
Upon arriving at Jiang Lingyu's wooden villa, You Sijia first walked around the entire yard.

Although it's a villa, this rustic-looking wooden house isn't particularly luxurious.

The second floor houses the hall and dining room, while the first floor contains the bedrooms, a layout completely opposite to that of a typical house.

Because the location was specifically chosen based on the hot spring, the entire bedroom on the first floor is connected to the spring outside.

Push open the huge, transparent glass sliding door that connects to the courtyard, and you can jump directly into the hot spring pool.

Next to the hot spring, there are also facilities such as massage stones. It's very rustic, but also very convenient.

"Wow!" Yustia exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the billowing smoke outside the window. The air was filled with the natural smell of sulfur.

The room was already served drinks and fruits by the staff. In fact, because the hot spring was almost right next to the bedroom, there was a screen on the wall facing the hot spring in the bedroom, so you could watch a movie while soaking in the hot spring.

Although the movies we watched might have been somewhat ethereal and hazy.

None of the three of them were shy; they simply changed their clothes and went into the pool.

Yu Sijia originally thought that since she was only going to the hot spring with Jiang Lingyu, she wouldn't need to wear a swimsuit. But now there's Ling Shuangyue too. She wasn't ready to expose her body to a woman she had just met.

Who knew that Ling Shuangyue was even more outgoing than the two girls from the south? She didn't even wrap a towel around herself; after taking off all her clothes, she jumped directly into the hot spring.

This scene left both You Sijia and Jiang Lingyu, who were standing nearby, speechless.

Ling Shuangyue, who was already in the hot spring, waved to the two of them with a smile, "What are you waiting for? Come down quickly! Wow, it's so comfortable."

Yu Sijia and Jiang Lingyu exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, wrapped themselves in bath towels, and went down into the hot spring before placing the towels on the smooth stones next to them.

Seeing this, Ling Shuangyue burst into laughter, "You Southerners are really interesting! Even taking off your clothes is so demure."

Yustia: "..."

Jiang Lingyu: "..."

The two had previously traveled to Northeast China and made a point of experiencing the bathing culture.

However, once inside, I was still shocked.

The bathroom cubicles in the public bathhouse don't have doors.

After everyone finished showering, they walked naked towards the bath scrubber's station.

In the same space, there might be several heated beds, and you'll not only be seen naked by the bathhouse attendant, but also by strangers.

You Sijia and Jiang Lingyu almost fled in panic.

Ling Shuangyue couldn't help but laugh again after hearing the two recount this experience.

“I know!” she said. “Our experimental site used to be in Northeast China, where there’s plenty of land and few people. When we were first doing the test drive, we needed open spaces like this. I stayed there for a while and often went to public bathhouses. You Southerners are so easy to spot. When you walk, you’re always either covering your chest or your crotch, hahaha, it’s just so cute!”

The two men from Nancheng, clutching their chests and genitals, wishing they could cover every part of their bodies with their bare hands, were speechless.

That's so vivid!

Three girls, even if they were strangers who had only met today, could easily hit it off.

From clothing, food, housing, and transportation, there's no topic we can't discuss, to jewelry, bags, and even national affairs. Without resorting to pontificating, the conversation is still very enjoyable.

The conversation somehow veered towards Ling Yumang, and You Sijia learned that Ling Yumang was in business management, while the person actually in charge of research and development was Ling Shuangyue.

She couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! Yueyue and Xiaoyu are both so amazing!"

Her friends were all exceptionally intelligent people, competing with the vast majority of men in their respective fields. In Yuska's view, that was incredibly impressive.

In the general public's perception, engineering and technology research and development are areas where men are naturally good at it, but her friends do it even better.

Suddenly, an idea flashed into Yuska's mind.

However, before she could properly investigate, she heard Jiang Lingyu ask from the side, "Then what's the deal with Wei Ning in your family? Is she also your sister?"

Jiang Lingyu didn't care who Wei Ning was, but when she entered the room, she could tell at a glance that Wei Ning's relationship with Meng Weiyuan might be more than just that of "childhood friends".
She glanced at the carefree young lady beside her, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Ling Shuangyue: "Ah? Her..."

When Ling Shuangyue mentioned Wei Ning, her expression became somewhat complicated.

“She is my daughter with Ling Yumang’s wet nurse,” Ling Shuangyue said.

The profession of wet nurse sounds somewhat incomprehensible today.

“After my mother gave birth to my brother and me, she didn’t have much breast milk. The older generation in the family believed that newborns who hadn’t drunk breast milk would have weaker immune systems than other children, so they found a wet nurse,” Ling Shuangyue said. “My brother and I were raised by Aunt Wei, but Aunt Wei’s first child died of a fever on the way to Beijing. Wei Ning, who was in her womb, was a posthumous child. My parents saw that she was quite lonely and helpless coming to Beijing alone, so they left her at home.”

Jiang Lingyu had heard some people think that infant formula is not as nutritious as breast milk, but she hadn't done much research on it.

“Aunt Wei is staying with us now, helping with cooking and cleaning. But we already have a cook and a cleaner, so she won’t be too busy or tired,” Ling Shuangyue said.

"Then how did Wei Ning become your sister?"

Ling Shuangyue leaned against the rock. "Wei Ning has always been sweet-talking since she was little, and my parents like her quite a bit. Plus, Aunt Wei has always lived with us. Although it's an employment relationship, we've practically become like family. My parents said, why don't we adopt Wei Ning as our goddaughter? After all, she grew up with my brother and me. It's like what I have, Wei Ning has too."

At this point, Ling Shuangyue didn't seem to be very indignant.

After she started working, she often helped girls in mountainous areas, supporting their education and so on.

“There’s another point…” Ling Shuangyue glanced at You Sijia, “She seemed to have a bit of a crush on Brother Meng before.”

Yustia didn't seem too surprised. "Oh."

Seeing You Sijia's expression, Ling Shuangyue chuckled, "You're not upset?"

"What's wrong with her? It doesn't matter if she likes Meng Weiyuan, he still married me, didn't he?" You Sijia said calmly.

Ling Shuangyue burst out laughing, then clapped her hands, "Yes, yes, that's good to think that way. There's really no need to worry, Brother Meng treats her like a little sister."

Yu Sijia didn't show it on his face, but he couldn't help but wonder to himself. Even if she was his sister, it wouldn't work. She wasn't his biological sister. Did he want to adopt several sisters outside?

If Meng Weiyuan dared to do that, she would find seven or eight godbrothers outside and drag them in front of him to infuriate him.
