Seeing the aggrieved expression on his sister's face, Jimucheng suppressed a smile, put his fist against his thin lips and coughed lightly: "My parents are doing this for your own good, you are not young."
"Is twenty-eight very old? Sister-in-law, how old are you?" Ji Tingyan looked at the two of them blankly, and then she looked at Xia Xinnian.
"I'm twenty-four years old." Xia Xinnian laughed dryly. Although she was young, she didn't feel glamorous at all. It was not easy for a twenty-four-year-old unwed mother.
Ji Tingyan immediately reached out and pulled out her long black hair: "You are so young. It seems that I am really old, but I still have the heart of an eighteen-year-old girl. I don't want to get married unless, I If I can find excellent men like my father and elder brother, otherwise, I would rather be alone."
Seeing the firm expression on his sister's face, Jimucheng sighed: "So you don't want to go back to China because you are afraid of being forced to go on a blind date. Well, I finally know the reason, but this is not the solution for you. You should also find someone A man now."
Ji Tingyan rolled her eyes at him: "Before you met your sister-in-law, you seemed to insist on not getting married. Now that you have just found a girlfriend, you are trying to persuade me in this tone?"
A look of embarrassment flashed across Ji Mucheng's handsome face. Indeed, before meeting Xia Xinnian, his attitude towards not getting married was even more determined than his sister's.
"Okay, I won't advise you anymore. You can live your life however you feel comfortable." Jimucheng finally couldn't bear to be cruel and could only pamper his sister.
Xia Xinnian pursed her lips and snickered beside her. The way the two brothers and sisters got along was quite interesting.
"Sister-in-law, come upstairs and I'll let you appreciate my paintings." Ji Tingyan didn't want to talk to her eldest brother anymore and immediately waved to Xia Xinnian.
Xia Xinnian followed her upstairs with a happy face. As soon as she finished the last staircase, what was presented to her was the beautiful scenery of the four seasons. Xia Xinnian's expression was filled with wonder. What kind of hands are these, they can describe the scenery With the scenery of the four seasons, she couldn't help but admire the woman with the orchid temperament in front of her.
"These... were all painted by you?" As a designer, Xia Xinnian thought she was talented in painting, but at this moment, she felt that she was only good at painting.
"Well, this is my work for the past year, spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four distinct seasons." Ji Tingyan looked confident. She began to learn painting when she was seven years old. Her parents hired a teacher for her. , she was exposed to this beautiful artistic conception for the first time, and she fell in love with it. In addition, her family had the ability to hire the best teachers for her. She was guided by famous teachers along the way, so she achieved success.
"Oh my God, it's so beautiful. This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful scenery. It's so lifelike, as if you can see the real scenery." Xia Xinnian turned around and looked around in disbelief. The more she looked, the more she realized that this was a genius painting. hand, so she asked curiously: "Are you holding a painting exhibition?"
Ji Tingyan paused, with a touch of shyness on her beautiful face: "I actually wanted to hold a painting exhibition, but I was afraid that my works would be unsatisfactory, so I have always hung them here for myself to appreciate."
"That's a pity. Your painting skills are so good. People all over the world should see your works. To be honest, these paintings of yours give people a very good artistic conception. They will make people's impetuous hearts calm down. I'm sure It will be loved by people." Xia Xinnian sighed from the bottom of her heart.
Ji Tingyan turned around and looked at her, her dark eyes shining: "Do you really think I can hold an art exhibition?"
"Of course, doesn't anyone support you in doing this?" Xia Xinnian blinked.
"I have mentioned it before, but my family thinks that I just like it, and there is no need for others to find out. They think that I should not indulge in this hobby too much. Before, I secretly wanted to paint my paintings. I used it to sell it for money, but my brother found out about it, and he actually had someone buy my painting at a high price. If my sister hadn't found out about it, I would have almost been deceived by him. Hum, thinking about this, I Get angry." Ji Tingyan said this, gritting her teeth secretly, it was so embarrassing.
"Your brother... he still does this kind of thing? How unkind." After hearing this, Xia Xinnian wanted to laugh for no reason, but seeing Ji Tingyan's angry face, she had to hold it back and reprimanded Ji Mucheng for his behavior. behavior.
"Actually, I can't remember much of my memories before I was five years old. I heard from my mother that it was very difficult for her to take me and my brother alone at that time. But after I was five years old, we lived with my father. My father has pampered us since we were young and has always made us carefree. I actually want to make some money by relying on my own abilities. At least, let me know that I can make money without relying on my family. My brother gave it to me that time. It hit me so hard that I don't even dare to hold an art exhibition now." Ji Tingyan laughed at herself. Although she was a little shocked, the warmth of family affection moved her heart even more.
"The purpose of holding an art exhibition is not necessarily to sell it for money. It is purely to show your masterpieces to the world." Xia Xinnian could hear the sense of loss in her tone.
"Maybe one day I will really hold an art exhibition, and then you will definitely come to support me." Ji Tingyan got to know Xia Xinnian better and felt that she was a straightforward woman.
"Of course, you can ask me to come over and help. It's free." Xia Xinnian's eyes lingered on these paintings, feeling relaxed and happy.
"Well, you said it. When the time comes, I really want to ask you to help me." Ji Tingyan's mood suddenly brightened, and she felt that the light she had always wanted to pursue was suddenly inspired by someone. .
Jimucheng sat on the sofa, took out his mobile phone and made a call.
"The man who beat you up for no reason last time, do you know who he is?" Jimucheng was still worried about hidden dangers, so he never gave up on pursuing the matter.
"We were beaten so badly that day, and there is no evidence to investigate yet." The person over there looked innocent.
"Then you can rest assured and recover in the hospital. I will send someone over to take over. Thank you for your hard work." Jimucheng hung up the phone and his eyes became cold and sharp.
Fortunately, the guy just beat him up and didn't do anything bad to his sister, but no matter what, if he knew his identity, he wouldn't make it easy for him.
Jimucheng raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of the stairs. The two women had been going upstairs for half an hour and still hadn't come down yet. How could they have such a good conversation when they met for the first time
Although Jimucheng doesn't like the feeling of being left out, it is a very lucky thing for him that his sister and the woman he wants to marry can get along sincerely.
When Xia Xinnian and Ji Tingyan went downstairs, it was time for dinner. At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"Are there any guests?" Jimucheng raised his eyebrows and looked at his sister.
Ji Tingyan looked confused and shrugged: "I didn't invite anyone else."
