This weekend is Sheng Qianxue's sixteenth birthday. Recently, Sheng Qianxue did not target Sheng Qianling, nor did she make trouble with him. Sheng Wenbo felt more and more guilty. Thinking about it, he felt that he took Sheng Qianling back to the villa directly before, and he didn't discuss with Sheng Qianxue. He was really sorry for her. Originally, she was domineering with pride, and it was normal that she couldn't accept Sheng Qianling.
With two days to go before her birthday, Sheng Wenbo decided to do it for Sheng Qianxue, and invited all her classmates and friends to the house to be lively and lively, and give her a long face.
He has calmed down and thought a lot recently. What he did did really make the eldest daughter unable to hold her head up at school, especially in the face of Sheng Qianxue, who was becoming more and more well-behaved, countless guilt poured out, even with the point towards Sheng Qianling. Pity also dissipated a lot. Qian Ling was pitiful, but his eldest daughter Qian Xue was also wronged.
When she heard that Sheng Wenbo was going to hold a big event for her, Sheng Qianxue was not very happy, and now she is very busy. During the day, I was busy studying and communicating with the little dwarf. When I came back at night, I had to make a video call with her mother, so I didn't have the energy to pay attention to Sheng Wenbo and Sheng Qianling.
But when the other party asked, she said, "Dad, let's figure it out."
Sheng Wenbo felt more guilty when he saw Sheng Qianxue, who lacked interest. "Then I'll let someone prepare, and it will be lively on the weekend. Our Qianxue must be the most beautiful princess that day."
"Okay." Sheng Qianxue replied, she looked at her watch, it was almost time for her to talk to her mother, "Dad, what else do you have to do? If it's all right, I'll go back to the room."
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Sheng Wenbo still wanted to exchange feelings with his eldest daughter, but suddenly realized that Qianxue, who used to like to stick with him, was a lot unfamiliar with him, "It's still early."
"But I'm a little tired. For the birthday party, Dad, you can do it."
Sheng Wenbo had no choice but to nod, "Okay then, what gift do you want, Dad will buy it for you."
"Dad, let's buy it."
Sheng Wenbo had a headache, he thought that Sheng Qianxue was angry with him, but Sheng Qianxue's face was calm, not like she was angry, and he was a little hesitant. Could it be that the eldest daughter is really sensible
"If you don't say what you need, Dad doesn't know what to buy for you. There must be something you like, right?" Sheng Wenbo didn't give up. In fact, he really wanted to have a good chat with Qianxue and exchange feelings. Spiritual matters, and Qianxue are estranged. Thinking that the two fathers and daughters used to talk about everything, and looking at the current situation, he was still very disappointed.
Sheng Qianxue raised her head, "I'm the eldest lady of the Sheng family, what do I need? If Dad doesn't know what to buy, why don't you give me money. When I think about it, I can buy it myself." Money is the best thing, just right Recently, I was learning investment and stock trading from her mother, and there is nothing wrong with her father for start-up capital. In addition, the little dwarf eats a lot, and she likes to buy delicious food for the dwarf. How can she raise the dwarf if she doesn't make a lot of money
Sheng Wenbo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It turns out that Qianxue has become a little money fan, okay, then Dad will give you the money and let you buy it yourself. But if you think about what you need, just ask me for it."
Sheng Qianxue responded and went upstairs.
Sheng Wenbo looked at her back and couldn't help sighing. Just when Sheng Qianling came back, seeing him with a sad face, he asked with concern, "Dad, why are you frowning? Did you encounter any trouble?"
"Qianling is back, how is your friend?"
Sheng Qianling called back before and said that a friend of hers was injured and she was going to the hospital to see him.
"He's alright." Sheng Qianling replied, her eyes a little too afraid to look at Sheng Wenbo, after all, if her father finds out about the current relationship between her and Jiang Yanxi, I don't know if he will be angry, "By the way, Dad, just now Why are you sighing?"
"Nothing, just a feeling that Qianxue is a lot rusty to me."
Sheng Qianling's face turned pale, "Is it because of my existence that Qianxue and Dad became estranged?"
Seeing the guilt of his little daughter, Sheng Wenbo didn't want to talk about this issue again, "I don't blame you for these things, you are still a child, everything is the fault of us adults. ."
"Anyway, it's because of my existence that Qianxue is unhappy." Sheng Qianling lowered his head, "After all, it's because of me that Qianxue's mother left, I'm sorry."
"Qianling, stop talking about this." Sheng Wenbo stood up and patted her head, "Have you had dinner?"
"have eaten."
"It's getting late, go to rest, don't think too much, leave these troubles to me. Now you are still a child, you just need to go to school well. I don't want these things to cause you trouble. Don't feel guilty if you're troubled, understand?"
"Um."
Sheng Qianling obediently returned to the room, looked back at the man sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette, some silent man, a little sad in his heart. She opened the door of the room and pursed her lips. She didn't want to fight, but her father was her only relative in the world. So, she came back here just to get the love of this only relative. But seeing that her father was so distressed now, she wondered if she did something wrong and shouldn't come back here. If she didn't come back here, she wouldn't have a conflict with Qianxue, and her father wouldn't stand between the two of them to make things difficult.
But she was really reluctant to let her give up this only relative.
The Sheng family seems to be getting quieter and quieter, and everyone is doing their own thing step by step. Without Sheng Qianxue's noise, everyone was not used to it. Whenever Sheng Qianxue passed by Sheng Qianling as if nothing had happened, Sheng Qianling subconsciously took a step back, and later found that the other party didn't care about her at all, she was a little embarrassed. No matter what topic she brought up or how she talked to Sheng Wenbo, Sheng Qianxue at most raised her head and raised her brows.
Occasionally, she would be late accidentally, and when she came down, she would only see the other party eating dessert quietly, without saying she was not. She eats slowly, and Sheng Qianxue will never teach her to be long-winded again. She hurriedly got into the car with her schoolbag on her back, only to see Sheng Qianxue who was communicating with A Xin in English. The other party didn't give her a look, as if only when she is air. She often heard Sheng Qianxue's happy laughter, and occasionally glanced over to see Ye Xin's smile, the two seemed to be really close.
Although the three of them met the most every day, she seemed to be the air between them. Sheng Qianxue didn't bother her anymore. Occasionally, when she heard what she said, she would snort at most, and then she turned her head and continued to talk about happy things with Ye Xin. In short, she could see that Sheng Qianxue was quiet recently, but the other party seemed to be very happy because of something.
I saw the weekend, which was Sheng Qianxue's birthday party. In order to give her a face, Sheng Wenbo invited her classmates, people who Sheng Qianxue usually knew, and some of his partners' children of the same generation to the villa to celebrate her birthday. On that day, Sheng Qianxue was still very beautifully dressed. It was Sheng Wenbo who had asked a designer to design a princess dress for her many days ago.
When he gave it to Sheng Qianxue, he said, "Thank you, Dad."
He stood at the door, watching Sheng Qianxue smile and say thank you to him, feeling a little empty in his heart. In the past, he prepared Sheng Qianxue's dress for Sheng Qianxue's birthday party every year. Every time he hadn't taken it out, she would run to his side, hug his arm affectionately and ask, "Dad, did you prepare a beautiful dress for me today? If it's not beautiful, then I won't wear it, I'm proud of myself. My eldest lady, if you dress too ugly, it will become a joke."
At that time, she got the skirt, and after putting it on, she would look at the mirror in circles. If she was very satisfied, she would run up to him, kiss him happily, and say, "Dad, you are so nice, the skirt is beautiful."
But now, when Sheng Qianxue took over the dress, she only said thank you to him.
After she changed, standing in front of the mirror, he asked, "Qianxue, do you like it?"
"I like it very much." Sheng Qianxue replied in a rusty and polite tone, "Thank you, Dad, it's very beautiful."
"Qianxue likes it." He accidentally saw the jade pendant on Sheng Qianxue's neck, "When did you buy this?"
"It was sent to me by my mother as a birthday present." Sheng Qianxue touched the jade pendant happily, "I will take some pictures for my mother later, she will definitely be very happy."
Sheng Wenbo was a little surprised, "You got in touch with your mother?"
"Yeah," Sheng Qianxue took it for granted, "My mother and I are mother and daughter. Even if she goes abroad, she will not forget me. We talk on the phone every day."
Sheng Wenbo couldn't help but ask, "Then when did she say she will come back to see you?"
"Dad wants Mom to come back?" Sheng Qianxue looked directly at Sheng Wenbo, "I didn't say that there is one more person in the family, Dad really wants Mom to come back here and see one more person in the villa? What if Dad wants Mom to come back? If you come back, when I talk to her at night, tell her about this, say you miss her, and I will help you persuade her to come back, okay?"
Sheng Wenbo thought of Xue Xuan's return, and saw the scene of Sheng Qianling living here, what kind of trouble it would be like, and subconsciously refused, "Forget it, we all need to calm down and talk about this later. Let's talk about your mother's temperament, You know that too..."
"Of course I know." Sheng Qianxue glanced at Sheng Wenbo, and finally grabbed A Xin's arm, "Dad, I'm going down, don't make them wait too long, and I don't think mother should come back for the time being. Is she in a good mood now? It's easy to stabilize, I don't want to make her sad again, but also worry about me."
She held A Xin, passed in front of Sheng Wenbo, raised her neck, she was still the arrogant eldest lady of the Sheng family, her arrogance never disappeared. When she used to make trouble and liked to accuse Sheng Qianling, Sheng Wenbo always hoped that she would be quiet and sensible. Now that she is quiet and sensible, Sheng Wenbo is not used to it, and suddenly feels that Qianxue is far away from him.
Sheng Qianxue turned her back to Sheng Wenbo and went downstairs with an elegant and proud attitude. At the corner of the stairs, she whispered to A Xin, "Look, in his heart, my mother is no better than Sheng Qianling, Because I am afraid that Sheng Qianling will be wronged and say something they all need to calm down. Therefore, I don't want my mother to come back at all, she will only be sad and sad, I hope she can be happy, since my father is no longer me The former father is no longer the one who cares about my mother, so what's the point of my mother coming back?"
"Qianxue, today is your birthday, be happy."
"Happy, I'm extremely happy, wearing a sky-high princess dress, and having so many people cheering me on, almost all of my peers from prestigious families in this city came." Sheng Qianxue raised her chin, "I'm not sad, very happy."
But A Xin still saw the loneliness flashing in Sheng Qianxue's eyes, she held the other person tightly and said softly, "Aunt Xue will always love you, she will always be your mother, and I will always be by your side. around."
Sheng Qianxue was stunned for a moment, and looked at A Xin in disbelief, "Little dwarf, do you want to follow me for the rest of your life?"
"Um."
Sheng Qianxue stared at A Xin for a while, then laughed softly, "Little dwarf, you are really a clever little ghost, you know that you won't worry about eating with me. Thank you for your choice, I won't let you starve to death." She spoke sarcastically, but the corners of her mouth were upturned, the loneliness in her eyes disappeared, and it all turned into happiness. This little dwarf is really likable, and she deserves to be one of her people.
Well, since the little dwarf said that he would follow her for the rest of his life, then she wouldn't let him go.
When Sheng Qianxue appeared in front of everyone, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. Seeing her gorgeous princess dress, many people are envious.
They subconsciously looked at Sheng Qianling who was standing aside, trying to see something from her face. Sheng Qianling was also looking at Sheng Qianxue, the kind of arrogance and innate elegance in Qianxue's body was something she could never learn. Qianxue can glance at everyone proudly, but she can't do that, she has to try her best to maintain the relationship with the people around her.
Qianxue could ignore everyone, but she couldn't.
Qianxue has excellent grades and is outstanding in all aspects. If it weren't for her arrogant temperament, she should be more popular. And besides her docile temperament, she always greeted the people around her with a smile, as if she couldn't compare to Qianxue anywhere. In front of Qianxue, she has always had low self-esteem.
Jiang Yanxi also came. He saw the loneliness in Sheng Qianling's eyes, and patted her lightly, "What's wrong?" When he saw Sheng Qianxue, he just glanced over it roughly. For such a young lady, he Not cold. In the Jiang family, he had seen too many such eldest ladies. These eldest ladies, noble sons, are particularly domineering. Seeing Sheng Qianling's loss, he subconsciously thought that Sheng Qianling was bullied in the Sheng family.
"Did she bully you?"
Jiang Yanxi glanced at Sheng Qianxue's position in disgust, "Qianling, isn't it?"
"No, no, you misunderstood." Sheng Qianling shook her head quickly, she pulled Jiang Yanxi nervously, "Really no, she never bullied me." Only when she first came to the villa would Sheng Qianxue speak coldly to her. taunted, but every time she taunted, the other party caught her mistake. Outside, at school, Sheng Qianxue disliked her, and would not confront her, much less care about her in front of outsiders. Perhaps this was Sheng Qianxue's arrogance.
Jiang Yanxi didn't believe Sheng Qianling's words in his heart. In his opinion, the real eldest ladies in these big families are mostly disgusted by these illegitimate children who appeared unexpectedly, and wished them to die. Just like him, being beaten and entangled by various gangsters, isn't that what those people ordered? Because of this, he looked at Sheng Qianxue more and more badly.
A Xin felt Jiang Yanxi's gaze, raised his head and glanced lightly, Jiang Yanxi felt it, and stared at A Xin, A Xin looked directly at the other party without blinking. Jiang Yanxi did not expect that the little dwarf next to Sheng Qianxue was not afraid of him at all. He thought that A Xin was the lackey around Sheng Qianxue and would help bully Sheng Qianling.
"Little dwarf, what are you looking at?" Sheng Qianxue had long noticed that A Xin was looking at Jiang Yanxi, and she whispered in A Xin's ear, "What's so beautiful about him, eh?"
A Xin looked away and said, "I was just staring at him, not looking at him."
"Staring at him?" Sheng Qianxue was puzzled, "Why are you staring at him when you have nothing to do?"
A Xin explained calmly, "He's staring at you."
Sheng Qianxue: "..." She glanced at Jiang Yanxi again, this time it was not difficult to see the disgust he had for her in his eyes, and he snorted, "Mostly thought that I bullied Sheng Qianling, that I was not pleasing to the eye, and that the emperor made up his mind, Do you think I'm the Jiang family?"
The Jiang family has a bad reputation, and it has long been known far and wide. Almost all the men in the Jiang family have several lovers outside, and the number of illegitimate children is not clear at all. People like Jiang Yanxi are not unusual at all. But the real daughters of the Jiang family are not vegetarians. They have been competing since childhood. Dealing with these illegitimate children from outside is torture in various ways. As long as no one is killed, the Jiang family will not care. If the illegitimate children have the ability to live in the Jiang family, they will not mind. The Jiang family does not look at character, but only on interests.
Sheng Qianxue didn't care about Jiang Yanxi, and nothing happened at her birthday party. As long as they are not fools, no one wants to be in trouble here. If they do something, it will be their own shame. The eldest Miss Sheng has not fallen out of favor, and they have to compliment. Sheng Qianxue received many gifts, but she didn't care, and she was not interested in opening them.
After the banquet, she kept her eyes on A Xin. Seeing that A Xin didn't seem to say anything, she couldn't hold back, "That, little dwarf..." Sheng Qianxue's eyes kept scanning over A Xin, "You are Didn't you forget something?"
"Forgot what?" A Xin smiled.
Sheng Qianxue pouted and pushed Ah Xin, "Little dwarf, you really have no conscience."
"Birthday gift, do you prepare a birthday gift for me?" Maybe it was in front of A Xin that the character design collapsed several times, and she didn't care anymore, she said through gritted teeth, "Don't say you forgot to prepare, even though you are very poor. , but you can always buy bracelets for dozens of yuan at the roadside stalls, right? Even if you don’t buy bracelets, go to the jewelry store and buy a notebook.”
Facing the vicious Sheng Qianxue, A Xin smiled lightly, "It's ready, put it in your room, and put it in a big box."
"A big box?" Sheng Qianxue was a little surprised, "Did you buy a doll?"
"You'll know when you see it." A Xin did not explain.
Sheng Qianxue was suspicious, but turned around and went back to the room. Sure enough, she saw a somewhat large box on her desk, and she packed it. Judging by its size, it didn't look like a doll. Under normal circumstances, one side of the doll box should be transparent, or the outer packaging must be very beautiful.
This box doesn't look very beautiful.
But since the little dwarf prepared it, she was still looking forward to it.
She opened the box with anticipation. When she thought there would be some surprise, she opened the lid of the box at once, and when she saw the contents inside, her eyes changed from surprise to horror.
"Little dwarf, the box you prepared shouldn't be the one on the desk, right?"
A Xin stood at the door, listening to Sheng Qianxue's trembling voice, and replied slowly, "That's it."
"Not the one in the pink checkered wrapper, right?"
"It was wrapped in that pink plaid wrapping paper."
"Little dwarf." It was Sheng Qianxue's gnashing voice, "Are you sure?" The voice became more and more dangerous.
Axin replied, "Yes, there is no problem." She walked in and saw Sheng Qianxue holding a thick bed of books, documents, and a strange expression, and smiled at her, "This is what you gave to me. one's gift?"
"That's right, we are going to high school soon, and the time is getting tighter. These are the most classic question types that I have been fortunately found, including various difficult problems in recent years, as well as some foreign masterpieces, history of development. , cultural history, and books on customs and etiquette are all very useful for our study. Didn't you say we should prepare for going abroad?"
Sheng Qianxue: "..." I want to cry, what should I do
She sighed, put down the books and materials, and patted A Xin on the shoulder, "Little dwarf, you are going to lose me." She pushed A Xin out of the room, "You have lost Miss Ben."
The door was closed, she looked at the information on the desk and had a headache. Give her the information book, practice questions, very good, little dwarf, we have forged this beam today.
Speechless, she still sorted out the information book. Suddenly, she found a small box at the bottom of the box. He hesitated to pick it up, opened it, and was stunned.
It is a beautiful jade bracelet.
She still has some eyes on these things, just looking at the appearance of this jade bracelet, she knows that it is very expensive. There was a little bit of loss in her heart, and it all disappeared. She happily put the bracelet in her hand, and then glanced at the information books, her heart was full of joy. In fact, the dwarf is quite innovative. When he grows up so big, few people will give birthday gifts and information books.
As expected of her.
The next day in class, the corners of Sheng Qianxue's mouth were always upturned. She was always serious in class. Out of the corner of the eye kept scanning A Xin's face. She touched A Xin with her crutches and picked up her sleeves. She was slender and fair. With a beautiful jade bracelet hanging on his wrist, he said in a low voice, "It's expensive, right? Did you spend all the money you liked recently? You're really willing."
"Are you out of money?"
"Don't worry, I'll buy you what you want, and you won't starve to death if I take care of you."
A Xin glanced at her, "The teacher is looking at you, Qian Xue."
Sheng Qianxue hurriedly straightened her back and stared at the blackboard, with the corner of her eye still on Ah Xin's profile, tsk, little dwarf, so cute.
