“Qiao Jiaying, it’s time for you to go out!” Jian Xi glared at her.
Only then did Qiao Jiaying leave.
The moment she turned around, a strong envy surged in her eyes.
Jian Xi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Nan Mufeng, “You should go out too.”
Nan Mufeng gave her a deep look and stood up to leave.
“Don’t accept gifts randomly in the future.”
“I know…”
Jian Xi wryly smiled.
The first time in her life she received a gift, and it turned out to be a bunch of bedding—Rui Kun, right?
Good, she remembered him!
Soon, the gentle voice of Song Jia, the stepmother, came from downstairs: “Xiao Xi, Old Master Nan and Mufeng are leaving.
Come down and see them off!”
Jian Xi went into the bathroom, rinsed her face with cold water to remove the blush, and then went downstairs to say goodbye to her guests.
Saying goodbye at the door, why aren’t the guests leaving yet?
What’s the deal with holding my hand?
“Xiao Xi, I believe you are a sensible child.
You had a tough time abroad before.
If there’s anything in the future, just talk to Mufeng,” Old Master Nan held Jian Xi’s hand, unwilling to let go.
“Okay.”
“If you don’t like this place, you don’t have to live here, move to the Nan Family’s.
Of course, if you don’t want to live with me, the old man, Mufeng has an apartment in the city center that’s quite nice and close to your school…”
“No need, Grandpa.
This is the house my mom built; I’ll just stay here,” Jian Xi quickly interjected.
What a joke, she is still a student!
She hasn’t fully enjoyed her student life yet!
“Alright then!
But remember, don’t let yourself suffer!”
“Okay!”
“…”
After a good while of talking, she finally managed to send off the esteemed guests.
Jian Xi took a deep breath.
It’s been a long time since she had been so close and personal with someone.
It felt so unfamiliar!
So this is what the warmth of human life is like.
She should keep on tasting it.
She curved her lips into a small smile, went back to her room to change her clothes, then picked up her car keys and drove away in her new sports car.
Qiao Jiaying and Song Jia went out and stood on the grass, watching the red sports car zoom away.
Qiao Jiaying said resentfully, “Mom, where did she get the money to buy a car?”
“Who else but her mother?” Song Jia ground her teeth, “Jian Wan is so despicable, claiming to take me as her sister!
She actually left money for Jian Xi in secret!”
“It must be a large amount,” Qiao Jiaying pouted, “Mom, I don’t care.
You make Dad set up a private account for me too!”
Song Jia gave her a disdainful glance: “You are so short-sighted.
Seems like yesterday’s slap hasn’t woken you up!”
“Mom!”
“All the money at home will be yours in the future.
The little that Jian Xi has, just think of it as spare change to dismiss a beggar!”
“True!” Qiao Jiaying instantly cheered up again, “Then I won’t compete with her.
Let her be!
She and her mom are just working for us!”
“Exactly!
Let’s go to the beauty salon for a treatment!”
“Okay!”
The black Bentley sped through the streets.
Old Master Nan sat in the backseat, looking at Nan Mufeng with satisfaction, “You did well today, you’ll have the day off tomorrow.”
“Thank you, Old Master!” Nan Mufeng sighed with relief, finally gaining some temporary freedom!
“Day after tomorrow, remember to bring Xiao Xi home for dinner.”
The moment Nan Mufeng’s heart had relaxed, it tightened again, and he looked helpless, “Grandpa, is this really necessary?
I only have a few days off…”
“It’s precisely because you have little time that we must hurry to build a relationship with Xiao Xi,” Old Master Nan said righteously.
“Grandpa!”
“That’s settled.
You stop the car, I’ll go for a stroll by myself, and I’m giving you the rest of the afternoon off as well.”
