Hearing Shen Hanxing’s words, Shen Sisi instantly felt relieved. A faint smile appeared on her beautiful face as she said softly, “Okay.”
Shen Sisi didn’t look so annoying when she spoke nicely. She always had a smile on her face. Her voice was sweet and coquettish. Unfortunately, it was all fake. Shen Sisi was mean, sarcastic, and arrogant.
Shen Hanxing glanced at Shen Sisi and didn’t say anything else. She turned around and left. She didn’t notice Shen Sisi wathing her with a complicated gaze. The evilness in her eyes slowly turned into a kind of determination. In this world, she could only rely on herself. She could trust no one else.
When Shen Hanxing returned home, the living room was bustling with noise. Ji Ning had just returned from her overseas performance and couldn’t wait to share the souvenirs. Ji Qian was happily chattering away while Ji Mo sat on the sofa with a smile on his face. When they heard the door opening, they looked over.
“Sister-in-law!”Ji Ning’s face flushed red as she ran toward Shen Hanxing with a smile. She asked, “Sister-in-law, you’re here! Are you tired?” She took Shen Hanxing’s coat and hung it. Then, she looked at Shen Hanxing eagerly. Wherever Shen Hanxing went, she would follow. She hadn’t seen her sister-in-law for a few days. Although they had video chat every day, Ji Ning felt lonely. Now that they could finally meet, she followed Shen Hanxing around and sat beside her.
!!
Ji Qian saw this scene and wanted to say something. However, she didn’t say it out in the end. Forget it. Since Ji Ning had just returned from her trip and brought her a present, she wouldn’t s.n.a.t.c.h sister-in-law from Ji Ning today.
Ji Ning knew Ji Qian’s thoughts, so she leaned over to Shen Hanxing’s side and smiled contentedly. “Sister-in-law, do you want some water?”
“I’m not tired. It’s okay.” Shen Hanxing answered Ji Ning’s question and asked gently while rubbing her head, “When did you come back? How was the concert?”
“I just came back a little earlier than you did. The concert went very smoothly. Teacher praised me too.” Ji Ning reported her progress like a primary school student. Then, her eyes widened as she suddenly thought of something. “Oh, I brought something for you.” After she said that, she rushed to get her suitcase and took out a beautifully wrapped box, then another… and another… She took out seven to eight boxes in a row. Then, she hugged them in her arms and walked towards Shen Hanxing. Her little face was flushed with shyness. “These are all presents for you.”
“Ji Ning, did you buy everything from the shopping mall?” Ji Qian was initially quite happy to receive a gift, but when she saw the pile of gifts in Ji Ning’s arms, she lost her composure. She couldn’t help but blurt out, “Who on earth would buy so many gifts?”
Shen Hanxing was a little stunned as well. Ji Ning’s tiny arms were trembling as she held the gifts. So, Shen Hanxing quickly stood up to take the boxes. She felt speechless. “Your sincerity is all that matters. Why did you buy so many of them? Do you have enough pocket money?” These gifts looked pricy. She probably had burnt a hole in the wallet.
“Yes, I still have a lot.” Ji Ning smiled shyly. She had been kidnapped earlier on and only returned to the Ji family a few years ago. Ji Ning’s father had not been a good father. He had never paid much attention to his children. In fact, he didn’t pay as much attention to them as Ji Yan did. To Father Ji, all he had to do was to give them money. Therefore, his way of compensating Ji Ning’s sufferings was to give her money. He gave Ji Ning money to comfort her past suffering, as well as the money for shopping over the years.
In the past, Ji Ning didn’t dare to go out and locked herself in her room, so she barely used the money at all. Money was not very important to her. But now, she felt so happy to be able to buy gifts for people she cared about.
Ji Ning smiled and picked up a gift. Then, she pa.s.sed it to Shen Hanxing as she explained, “I just happened to see something nice and wanted to get it for you. I didn’t expect to buy so many of them eventually.”
