Chapter 62: The Distressed Shen Xi
“Your father said that he would give you the keys first. When you turn twenty, he will personally take you to see it,” Lu Shan said to Shen Xi with a smile.
The corners of Shen Xi’s mouth twitched. There were so many keys. Could they be fake? Could it be that his father had locked the shared bike with his private key and dragged it home?
It wasn’t that Shen Xi wanted to think so badly of her parents. It was just that such a thing was too unbelievable.
Lu Shan looked at Shen Xi’s distressed look and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Don’t you like it? Your father has always been worried that girls don’t like these things.”
Lu Shan looked outside the door as she continued, “But your father only has these. These are all the treasures he collected when he was young. Last time, Xue’er threw these keys directly into the trash can. Your father’s heart ached so much that he picked them up one by one.”
Shen Xi didn’t know how to answer, but she didn’t want her parents to be unhappy. She forced herself to raise her little face and say happily, “No, I like your gifts very much. Thank you, father and mother!”
When Lu Shan heard this, her frown relaxed. she said happily, “Then we are relieved. Your father will definitely be very happy when he finds out. Let me tell you, this is the key to the first helicopter your father bought when he was 16 years old. This is the key to the cruise ship he bought when he was 17 years old. This is the key to the luxury sports car he ordered when he was 18 years old. This is the key to the Linjiang Villa…
Shen Xi’s jaw dropped when she heard Lu Shan’s introduction.
Fortunately, it was only the keys this time. As long as the helicopters and the cruise ship weren’t lost, and her father only stole the keys. He shouldn’t be sentenced to too heavy a sentence, right?
Lu Shan looked at her daughter’s happy face and felt a lot better. After instructing Shen Xi to rest early, Lu Shan returned to her room.
Shen Yan hurriedly went up and asked, “How is it? How is it? Does Xixi like it?”
This time, Shen Yan didn’t dare to give the gift to Shen Xi in front of her because the last time he gave it to Jiang Xue, Jiang Xue disliked it and threw it into the trash can in front of him.
There was even one time, he even heard Jiang Xue chatting with the neighbor’s daughter and ridiculing, “My parents are exactly the same as your parents. My family is clearly very poor, yet my mother still said hypocritically that she would give me a big box of jewelry and gold bars. It’s hilarious. Also, my father gave me a bunch of keys. He even said that they were keys to a big villa and a helicopter key. I threw it into the trash can on the spot.”
“Then your parents are even better at bragging than my parents. They’re too shameless,” said the neighbor’s daughter.
“Is that so? You think so too, right? If there really is such a big villa, would the three of us have been living in this c.r.a.ppy house with no air-conditioning for the past 18 years? Do they really treat me like a three-year-old child?” Jiang Xue’s tone was full of resentment and sarcasm.
Shen Yan was ready to be despised by his daughter again, but he still had some expectations in his heart.
Lu Shan held Shen Yan’s nervous face, which was wrinkled like a little old man, with both hands and said gently, “Xixi said that she likes your gift very much! She really does!”
Shen Yan’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Really?”
Lu Shan looked at her husband with amus.e.m.e.nt and said, “Of course it’s true.”
Shen Yan happily kissed Lu Shan’s mouth, then hugged his wife and spun around in circles.
While Shen Yan was rejoicing in this room, Shen Xi was very depressed in her own room.
Shen Xi was very distressed now. She repeatedly looked at the jewelry Lu Shan gave her. She could be 100% sure that it was real. There were even a lot of styles that were limited edition models that big brands had stopped producing, not to mention the heavy gold bars.
Coupled with Lu Shan’s unwilling appearance, Shen Xi was sure that the matter wasn’t small.
Shen Xi thought that either her parents really stole these things and didn’t dare to sell them, or her mother and father used to be very rich. Then, they met some enemies and were taking refuge, so they didn’t dare to sell them.
If it was the second case, then she, Shen Xi, had a generous mother with a lot of jewelry and gold bars, and a rich father with all kinds of a.s.sets. It was still a little incredible to think about it.
But if it was the first case, then Shen Xi already thought of the scene of her parents holding onto the iron window and crying.
