Chapter 86 - Uninvited Guests
Chapter 86 Uninvited Guests
“Both of you should have just come back. You don’t have to spend so much money buying all these,” Grandma had been frugal all her life. When she saw so much expensive stuff, she felt sorry for the money spent and shook her head as she said, “It’s a waste of money. I’m an old woman and will not need to use so many things.”
Ji Yan wore a dark gray suit that made him look more friendly. The casual clothing made him look even more handsome and younger. His body shape looked more manly in it.
Facing Shen Hanxing’s grandmother, Ji Yan restrained his usual cold and distant attitude. He had a faint smile on his face and looked approachable. Although he did not talk much, every word he said made a lot of sense.
His grandmother was satisfied with Ji Yan. She kept smiling, and the wrinkles on her face showed how happy she was. As she smiled, she kept shoving snacks into Ji Yan’s hands. The other children of the Ji family were also polite and well-behaved. Ji Qian and Ji Yang were the liveliest. They had been surrounding grandma and acting coquettishly, which amused grandma so much.
Shen Hanxing’s marriage was so sudden. She married on behalf of Shen Sisi. Shen Hanxing’s grandma thought the Ji family that Shen Sisi did not want to marry was not someone decent. Her grandma tried to stop it at that time, but she had no way to stop it. She could only pray that Shen Hanxing would live a better life.
This time, Shen Hanxing brought the Ji family’s siblings with her. Seeing their interaction with each other, Grandma finally felt relieved. Even her laughter became a little more cheerful.
Seeing her grandmother’s happy laughter, Shen Hanxing smiled.
“I will accompany Hanxing to walk around the place where she grew up when my legs recover,” Ji Yan held Shen Hanxing’s hand and said, smiling, “when the time comes, I will need to trouble Hanxing to introduce me properly to her neighborhood.”
Shen Hanxing was slightly dazed.
The upper-class society valued status the most. Just like Shen Hanxing’s father, Shen Yong. Back then, he was the one who had thrown her abroad to live a difficult life in the slums. But in the end, she was the one who looked down on her own status. She felt that her life in the slums had embarrassed her. There were still many people who did not know about her relationship with Shen Yong.
Compared to the Shen family, the Ji family was the top of the wealthy families. Logically speaking, they valued family status more. However, whether it was Ji Yan or the other juniors of the Ji family, they never talked about it. They treated her grandmother politely and warmly and did not look down on the environment she grew up in since she was a kid.
After receiving such sincerity, when Shen Hanxing recalled how others treated her, she felt they were ridiculous. Shen Hanxing held Ji Yan’s hand back and nodded with a smile. “Okay.”
Noticing their interaction, the smile on Shen Hanxing’s face bloomed. “I’m happy to see you all today. I’ll cook something nice for you to eat.”
Grandma’s cooking skills were good, but the family was poor and could not afford to buy many ingredients. Hearing her grandma’s words, Shen Hanxing rolled up her sleeves and said, “I’ll help you, grandma.”
“I don’t need your help,” Grandma rejected decisively. “Go out and accompany Ji Yan and the others. Don’t mess around here.”
“Grandma, you like Ji Yan more now,” Shen Hanxing snorted. “You stopped loving me after you saw Ji Yan.”
Grandma smiled and nodded her head.
Laughter filled the small space. Then, the doorbell suddenly rang. Ji Qian walked over to open the door. She saw the person outside covering his nose and asking with disdain, “Where’s Shen Hanxing?”
Ji Qian glanced at the person, then turned around and shouted at Shen Hanxing, “Sister-in-law, someone is looking for you.”
Shen Hanxing wiped her hands as she walked to the door. The moment she saw the person at the door, her face darkened. “Why are you here?”
Shen Sisi was wearing a white cotton dress. Her long black hair hung behind her back, and her small face with exquisite makeup was exceptionally fresh and delicate.
“I heard that you were here, so I came over to visit,” Shen Sisi held her handbag and asked tentatively, “can I talk to you?”
She carefully kept a distance from Shen Hanxing as if she was afraid Shen Hanxing might smear her clothing.
Yes, Shen Sisi was the princess, the little girl that everyone cared for and doted. She could play the violin, and she had an innocent and kind personality. So, she deserved to be adored by everyone, and she, Shen Hanxing, was the filthy girl in the slums. Even if she tried her best, she could only make her life a little better. That was why Shen Hanxing did not have a father when she was born, and her father had sent her abroad to fend for herself.
Probably Ji Yan noticed Shen Hanxing’s mood swings. Ji Yan turned the wheelchair to her side and gently held her hand. “Who’s here?”.
Shen Sisi looked over at the person speaking. When her gaze fell on the wheelchair under Ji Yan, her eyes widened in disbelief. “You’re Mr. Ji?” Didn’t they say that after Ji Yan’s legs were disabled, he had a weird personality, was irritable and brutal? She thought Ji Yan should be decadent and weak, not like this…
