LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 380 Gift
"Okay, I'm so useless, that's why I have to stay with you. How can I become a brick without going through calcining? Sister-in-law, whether I can become a person depends on how you train me."
"I'm sorry," Lin Xi cursed inwardly, is this still Shen Tingting?
Facing such a shameless Shen Tingting, Lin Xi was at a loss for words.
"Hey, sister-in-law, why are the dark circles under your eyes so heavy? Did you not get a good rest last night?"
Not only did Lin Xi not have a good rest last night, she didn't fall asleep for two nights in a row. She felt like a big stone was weighing on her heart. How could she possibly sleep?
The two of them arrived at Shen Zhongshan's study together. Lin Xi put the things on Shen Zhongshan's desk and stared at the box for a long time without looking away.
"What kind of expensive gift did you give me that you are so reluctant to part with? How about I take a look first?"
Shen Tingting said and went to get it. As soon as her hand touched the gift box, she was slapped back by Lin Xi, "Don't move around. Are there any rules? Is this your thing?"
She knew that Lin Xi had a hard mouth and a soft heart. Looking at her fierce look now, she was actually not angry in her heart.
"I just won't touch you. You're so mean. Let's go. There's a banquet downstairs. Let's go eat."
Until the end of the birthday banquet, Shen Tingting had been clinging to Lin Xi. Regardless of whether Lin Xi was happy for her to follow him or not, her main priority was to be with her.
The old man of the Liu family felt bad when he saw Lin Xi. He was afraid that this girl and his eldest grandson would be in trouble. Even Shen Yueru and her daughter were much kinder to her now. It seemed that they would remarry at any time.
"Old Shen, your family needs to treat its girls well. Do you see what Wei Feng in your family does? Originally, I shouldn't say this when you are celebrating your birthday, but I really can't hold it in. Seeing how many girls there are Well, I’m still here to celebrate your birthday after something like this happened. I’m very broad-minded.”
Zhongshan sighed and nodded: "You are right, our Shen family owes this girl a lot, and we must compensate her well in the future."
Zhang Changlin took a sip of wine and said, "This girl has a lot of energy in her body. I like her very much. She is always so calm. This is rare. You Shen family has found a treasure."
Shen Yi listened to the elders' praise of Lin Xi and turned to look at Lin Xi happily. She was sitting with Shen Yueru and Shen Tingting, which was a rare harmony.
After the birthday banquet, everyone was chatting in the yard. Shen Yueru specially hired someone to decorate the garden. The more than ten-meter-long table was filled with fruits, desserts and drinks. The glass house next to it was the world of their ladies.
"I have to say that Lin Xi is really thick-skinned. After getting divorced, he came back with his cousin to celebrate his birthday before remarrying, without even thinking about whether it would be appropriate."
"She still has the means, otherwise Aunt Yueru and Tingting would be taken down by her? My cousin also cares about her very much."
Lin Xi was dragged by Shen Yueru when she heard such comments just as she walked to the door of the glass house. She was uncomfortable to begin with. How could she be in the mood to go in after hearing such discordant sounds?
"I don't like these people, and they happen to not like me either, so I won't get involved."
After breaking away from Shen Yueru's hand, Lin Xi turned around and walked back, meeting Shen Yize who was looking for her.
Shen Yi was afraid that she would be embarrassed and that her aunt was asking her to come off stage.
"Lin Xi, let me tell grandpa that we should leave first."
He saw that there was no smile on Lin Xi's face, and he knew that she must not be happy in her heart.
"There are several eightieth birthdays in a person's life. I'm going to make tea for grandpa, and I have to go to the theater in the evening. The venue is all booked. Wouldn't it be a spoiler of fun if you don't go?"
Lin Xi said that he went to the restaurant to make a pot of tea and brought it to the living room. When pouring tea for Zhongshan Shan, he accidentally knocked over the water in his cup and it just flowed onto Zhongshan Shan's trouser legs.
"Oh, grandpa, I'm sorry, I'm too clumsy."
Lin Xi said as he picked up the paper towel on the table and started to wipe Zhongshan's trousers.
"It's okay. It's hot and we'll do it quickly. Get up quickly, kid."
Seeing her half-kneeling like this, Shen Yi stepped forward and picked her up, "Just help grandpa go upstairs and change into clothes."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand to lift Zhongshan, "I'll help you go upstairs."
Zhongshanshan said cheerfully, "That's it, it's okay."
"Grandpa, you'd better go up and change. Wearing wet clothes is always uncomfortable."
Lin Xi and Shen Yi were holding Zhongshan Shan on the left and the right, as if forcing him to change.
"Old Shen, just be content with what you have. If your child is filial to you, just change it so that your child doesn't have to worry." Liu's father said enviously to the side.
Zhongshan said with a happy face: "Okay, okay, I'll go up and change."
When they got upstairs, Uncle Quan helped the old man go into the bedroom to change his clothes, while Shen Yi and Lin Xi stood outside waiting.
After changing, Lin Xi greeted him with a cute smile, "Grandpa is in such good health, he will definitely live a long life, but you still have to pay attention to some small details. You are old after all."
The old man was overjoyed after hearing her words, "Don't worry, grandpa will pay attention. Grandpa is still waiting to hold his great-grandson. He must live well."
"Grandpa, let me take you to the study and see what gifts I have prepared for you today."
Shen Yi looked at Lin Xi with a bright smile and felt happy in her heart. The thing she cared about most in the family was her grandpa.
"Okay, let's go see what gift Xiaoxi has prepared for me."
Shen Yi walked beside her and asked in a low voice, "What gift are you so anxious to show grandpa?"
Lin Xi bit the meat in his mouth and sneered, cursing: "You will know what gift it is when you see it. It is a gift that is guaranteed to surprise you."
But Lin Xi did not answer his words, but supported Zhongshan to the study.
The three of them arrived at the study. Zhongshan Shan sat down at the desk and smiled as he looked at the brocade box on the table. "Xiaoxi is always attentive. The gifts he buys must satisfy me more."
If Zhongshan said this before, Lin Xi would be very happy. The kind old man loves her so much. He is the only person in this family who is willing to give her warmth.
Seeing Zhongshan Shan's trembling hands unwrapping the ribbon on the brocade box, Lin Xi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Once it was opened, it could never be undone.
But is there any way back for her now? After all, it was her father's life, her former home, and her mother's five years of living without human beings or ghosts.
Lin Xi had no choice. She wanted to know the truth, especially the two people she cared about most. Whether they knew the truth or not, they couldn't live in such ambiguity.
Seeing that Zhongshan Shan had finished removing the ribbons on the brocade box, Lin Xi clenched her fists. She had been mentally prepared after thinking for two days.
She held her breath and stared at the trembling hands of the heavy mountain.
The moment Shen Zhongshan opened the brocade box, Lin Xi suddenly felt relieved. There must be an explanation for their family's tragic experience, otherwise she would not be able to face it when her mother woke up one day.
Zhongshan looked at the contents of the box and smiled, "What is this? Why does it look like a photo?"
He said, picking up the reading glasses he had put aside and putting them on.
Shen Yi came forward curiously and froze when he saw the contents of the brocade box.
