The Jiang residence in the Beijing Military Region.
Jiang Ye looked up at the courtyard, her eyes filled with anticipation. Her skin had suffered after all those days in the Northwest. She had snuck out of the house back then without bringing any of her makeup.
In the living room, Su Guilan sat on the sofa with a melancholy expression, contemplating how she could possibly mend her relationship with her daughter, Ah Ci.
Just then, the door to the room was pushed open.
Jiang Ye spoke with a radiant smile, "Mom, I'm back from studying at my classmate's house."
As she spoke, she walked toward the sofa with her arms open wide, pouting playfully. "While I was studying at Qiqi's house all this time, I missed you to death, Mom!"
Upon hearing this, Su Guilan shot her a cold glare. Her dark, bright eyes fixed on Jiang Ye as she said with a mocking tone, "Were you studying, or were you in the Northwest? You know the answer."
Jiang Ye's heart dropped.
