Chapter 9
Aunt
Lin Jia couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the look on Yin Tao’s face. He said to Yin Hao, “Ah Hao, your little sister Taotao is quite amusing.”
Yin Hao ruffled Yin Tao’s head helplessly and explained, “My grandparents raised Xiaotao. She’s a little wilful and mischievous.”
Yin Tao ignored everyone’s expressions and stared at the table of dishes. She had been hungry already.
Subsequently, Yin Tao was busy gobbling up the food in front of her, while Yin Ning was ingratiating herself, chatting and laughing with everyone.
In comparison, Yin Tao was indeed not as mature and sensible as Yin Ning. However, as a qualified supporting actress, Yin Tao did not care about being compared at all. After all, it is just as well that everyone liked Yin Ning. Yin Tao can then live carefreely away from the spotlight.
Yin Tao, who had been busy eating, only put down her chopsticks when she heard Jin Chen mention the case of the corpse found in the new city district.
“Xi Feng, did you not just take over a development in the new city district? Would those two murders affect your business?”
Xi Feng glanced at Jin Chen and said slowly, “It’s not a big deal, it’s not near to where we are, so it shouldn’t affect us much.”
“Sigh, the new city district has always been very chaotic. Previously, there were many people dealing in the black market, drugs, human trafficking, and so on.” Jin Chen glanced at Feng Jing and asked, “Brother Feng, aren’t you a detective? Is there any inside scoop on the new city district case? If it’s not serious, I plan to acquire a piece of land while it is chaotic.”

“No, I just transferred to A City so I didn’t take on any cases.” Feng Jing’s tone was cold and he didn’t even raise his head. However, everyone seemed to be used to his attitude.
The atmosphere at the banquet was not bad. Yin Dong gave a thank you speech after everyone cut the cake. Everyone was very used to such occasions, except for Yin Tao, who had been eating non stop, and Feng Jing, who had not spoken a word.
The banquet was coming to an end. Everyone presented their gifts and well wishes to Yin Dong. Yin Tao was no exception.
Yin Tao remembered that Yin Dong and Yin Hao treated the original Yin Tao quite well even though Zhao Yue and Yin Ning didn’t like her in the novel. Therefore, Yin Tao’s attitude was quite good when she spoke to Yin Dong.
“Happy birthday, Dad.”
Yin Tao handed the tie she had prepared earlier to Yin Dong and noticed that he looked quite pleased.
“Alright, I heard from Ah Hao that you specially prepared the gift. Very kind of you, thank you.” Yin Dong patted Yin Tao’s shoulder and continued, “Move back home. Conditions in the dormitory aren’t good after all.”
“No need, Dad. I’m fine staying in the dormitory.” Yin Tao looked at the middle-aged man in front of her and a fuzzy warmth surged in her heart.
“You…” Yin Dong sighed helplessly and said, “Do you really have to do that job?”
“Yes, Dad, I think I can do it well!” Yin Tao’s tone was firm.
Yin Dong felt that his daughter, who had always been willful, was a little different. He still said worriedly, “I’ll give you some time to consider. Don’t be angry with your mother. You can come home anytime.”
Yin Tao smiled at Yin Dong. Actually, she really wanted to say that it wasn’t her who was angry with Zhao Yue, it was clearly Zhao Yue who couldn’t stand her no matter what.
“Taotao?”
When she finished speaking with Yin Dong, Yin Tao saw a wealthy looking woman all decked out in jewelry walking toward her with a smile.
“I haven’t seen you for so long. Taotao, why have you lost so much weight?” The woman held Yin Tao’s hand affectionately and asked with concern.
Yin Tao searched her memory. The woman in front of her should be the eldest aunt of the original Yin Tao, who was also Zhao Yue’s elder sister, Zhao Ling.
She was not as arrogant as Zhao Yue. Zhao Ling was a businesswoman. She was a kind person and took good care of the original Yin Tao.
“Eldest aunt.” Yin Tao smiled sweetly at Zhao Ling. Compared to her cold and disdainful mother, she preferred this aunt who was kind and loving to her.
“I heard from your mother that you insisted on being a forensic doctor. It’s so tough for a girl to be a forensic doctor. Look at how thin you are.” Compared to the quiet Yin Ning, Zhao Ling preferred the straight talking Yin Tao. Zhao Ling was also a straightforward person.
“It’s not tough, Aunt. I quite like this job.” Yin Tao felt that her aunt wasn’t disdainful of her like Zhao Yue. She was genuinely worried that she would suffer.
“If you can’t hold on any longer, come to work at Aunt’s company. Don’t listen to your mother. You can choose any position in Aunt’s company!” Zhao Ling had wanted Yin Tao to come to her family’s company previously, but Zhao Yue had always said that Yin Tao’s ability was lacking and kept making things difficult.
Zhao Ling didn’t believe that Yin Tao could be any worse if she could do such hard work as a forensic doctor.
“Sister!” Zhao Yue frowned unhappily when she saw Zhao Ling holding Yin Tao. “You can’t keep spoiling her like this!”
