The Maid's Rise to Be a President's Wife-Chapter 1: Adopted by the Ji Family
Chapter 1 - Adopted by the Ji Family
The first time Ji Aier stepped through the gates of the Ji family, she was adopted as a foster daughter, having just been taken in from an orphanage. She was ten years old that year, but due to malnutrition, she looked only about seven or eight.
"Mommy, let's take her home!" Ji En said childishly to his mother. As soon as he saw this thin and dark little girl, he became interested. Standing beside Ji En was his mother, a world-class piano queen, exuding an extraordinary temperament and an air of grace and nobility.
Ji Aier looked at the boy pointing at her. He had fair skin, rosy lips, big, sparkling eyes, and was dressed in a well-fitted white shirt and suspender pants. He was about the same height as her. He made her think of the little prince in Snow White.
"Xiao En, that's not possible! We came here to see the children, not to adopt one!" Mrs. Ji squatted down and said to Ji En.

"No! If you don't take her home, I won't eat from now on!" Ji En suddenly came over and grabbed Ji Aier's hand, saying to his mother. His hand was very white, forming a sharp contrast with Ji Aier's dark skin. At that time, Ji Aier thought he was treating her like a toy. But this feeling wasn't good for Ji Aier, even though she was only ten years old.
In the end, Ji Aier was actually adopted by the Ji family. Perhaps Ji En's words "I won't eat from now on" scared his family. So they reluctantly took her in. And thus, she got her current name — Ji Aier.
When Ji Aier was brought into this complex of buildings called the Ji Family Garden, she thought she had stepped into the kingdom of a fairy tale world. And Ji En was the prince of this kingdom, while she would become a little servant in this kingdom, even though her status was that of a foster daughter.
The butler looked very stern. She had never seen him smile, so she was very afraid of him. She did whatever he said. From then on, she learned to do more and talk less, and not to meddle in other people's affairs. The Ji family was a very etiquette-conscious family, and every move of Ji Aier's had to conform to the norms. It took Ji Aier half a year to master all these and keep them in mind.
Ji En often skipped school and came back. Ji Aier didn't understand why. For her, studying was a very wonderful thing. Previously, in the orphanage, a nun had taught them Chinese characters and arithmetic, and that was a time that fascinated her. But Ji En didn't seem to think so. He often ran back and always came to find her every time. So she got into trouble every time.
In the end, the Ji family had no choice but to let Ji Aier go to school too, and she was in the same class as Ji En. In this class, almost all the classmates were picked up and dropped off by a private car every day. Ji Aier and Ji En were no exception, but she was just benefiting from Ji En. Without Ji En, she would be nothing.
Ji Aier's task in the Ji family was actually very simple, which was to serve Ji En. So when he went to class, she went too; when he did his homework, she did it along with him; when he skipped school, she was forced to skip school with him. For this, she was often scolded by the butler. Ji Aier felt that she was like a shadow of Ji En, with the same actions and rhythms as him, but had already lost her own personality.
Since she was always with Ji En, she had gotten used to his being mean to her and his often yelling at her for no apparent reason. In her eyes, he was the product of being spoiled, but she still didn't resist at all because she didn't have the ability or the capital to do so. He was like the boss of the underworld, and she was like an unknown subordinate under him. Therefore, she could only be more cautious in doing things to make him satisfied and find no fault. Later, Ji Aier learned that as long as she was obedient, he wouldn't be mean to her, although he wouldn't be nice to her either.
