Shi Feng was stunned for a moment. Instead of getting angry, he laughed. âWonderful, this is how the real Nanxing should be.â
You donât even know the real Nanxing.?I stood up and prepared to leave. If I stayed with him any longer, I might vomit.
âNanxing!â Shi Feng shouted behind me. I walked away.
âYoung miss!â Suddenly 2 people came into the greenhouse and I cheered internally. âSu Shen, Su Qian!â?Since theyâre here, then Jing Tian and little uncle must be here too!
Su Shen and Su Qianâs expressionless faces changed slightly when they saw Shi Feng. I didnât pay much attention to that and asked, âWhere are they?â
Su Shen replied, âWe came with Miss Jing Ni.â?Hmm, sounds like little uncle wonât be coming, o well.
When I arrived at the front hall, I saw Jing Ni being surrounded by layers of men and women.
âNi Ni!â I walked over quickly. Jing Ni walked out from the crowd and grabbed my hand. âThank God, youâre finally here.â
âWhatâs wrong?â I turned around to look at those people.
Jing Ni shook her head. âIâm not sure either. My big brother suddenly introduced me to these people. It felt like they were assessing my ability to be their daughter-in-law.â
My heart skipped a beat, and I turned around to look at those people again. I recognized some but not the others. However, if Jing Ning was involved, I had to be careful.
âWhat questions did they have for you? Youâre only a high school student, why would they ask you to be someoneâs daughter-in-law?â
âYouâre right, itâs ridiculous. This is all big brotherâs fault. I didnât even want to get to know these people in the first place.â Then Jing Ni puffed her cheeks at me. âItâs your fault too, Nanxing. This is your family home and you didnât even come to rescue me!â
I held her hands and pleaded. âPlease forgive me~ This is all my fault~â Su Shen and Su Qian followed a safe distance behind us. Since they came with Jing Ni, everyone would assume they were her bodyguards and not ours.
We bumped into Nanyang. Her dress was so plain that it made her look uncomfortable. Plus, it really didnât her exquisite hairdo.
âNanxing? Why are you here? Whereâs Young Master Shi?â Nanyang gasped.
âHeâs at the greenhouse.â I replied calmly.
Nanyang furrowed her brows. âThen why are you here? You have to go accompany him. Remember, you have to make him happy! Do you hear me?â
I raised my brow. âBut why?â
Nanyang was stupefied. âBecause heâs our most respected guest and fatherâs most important business partner.â
I smiled. âThen shouldnât father go talk business with him??Why me? I donât know anything about business.â
Nanyang was unhappy. âWho needs you to talk business with him? Just go and accompany him. Keep him happy and entertained.â
I said softly, âBig sister, I apologize then. I believe Iâve already offended Young Master Shi. Big Sister, you only told me to come back home to celebrate fatherâs birthday, you didnât tell me I need to entertain such an important guest! If you have told me sooner, I would have been more prepared. So what should we do now? When I left, he was so angry!â
Nanyang was terrified. She hissed viciously at me, âWhat good are you for when you canât even do something as simple as this?â She shoved me aside and stomped angrily away. I wondered if she went to apologize to Shi Feng or to complain to Li Yuan.
Jing Ni was flabbergasted. âYour big sister... Is that even Nanyang?â
I turned to Jing Ni. âSurprised?â
Jing Ni stuttered, âIsnât she a very demure and elegant lady? Everyone praises her for it. I have never seen her like this before.â
I patted her shoulder. âNi Ni, the longer you live, the more you learn.â
Jing Ni was still in shock. I believed that Nanyang didnât intend to shed her disguise before Jing Ni, she was just too shocked by the bomb that I dropped.
I led Jing Ni to a corner of the living and sat down. Before we could chat, Li Tian and Tian Ting walked over. These two had been quite unlucky lately. First they were slapped around by hooligans they hired and then they were taken revenge on by Jing Yan. Even Li Yuan didnât dare to speak up for them.
Now that I thought about it, I hadnât seen them at school for a while already. However, they were like cockroaches, the reason for their purpose was to annoy others.
In their mind, the only person lower on the hierarchy, or the only person they could bully, was me.
âWell, isnât this a rare guest? Here sits the best student of our school, Nanxing! Youâre finally back home? I thought you would never return to this house again!â
âWell, where else can she go other than to come home? Only my aunt has the kindness to take in a wastrel like her!â
