Chapter 813: Seeking for Trouble
Grandma was displeased and could not help herself by saying, "Since it’s locked up, there’s no need to clean it. You’re a clerk, not a cleaner."
"Grandma," Shen Hanxing’s voice was calm and emotionless. She interrupted her grandma’s unfinished sentence and shook her head gently. Thus, grandma suppressed the anger in her heart and swallowed the rest of her words.
Qiao Xi was either nervous, or on high alert, so she didn’t notice her grandma’s strange behavior. Her hands were clasped, and her fingers moved around unconsciously, twisting into a knot. Her eyes were fixed on the ground in front of her. Her voice was deliberately high-spirited and cheerful, a little harsh. "It’s fine. We always clean up the space. I’m also grateful to Mrs. Ji for giving me this opportunity. I also want to do more for the foundation. I’m happy to do the cleanings."
If Qiao Xi knew how to be grateful, why would she probe to get to a place that was off-limits to outsiders? Shen Hanxing’s eyes turned cold, and she started to get angry. She didn’t care about Qiao Xi’s decision but was mad at her for scheming before her grandma. Qiao Xi knew that her grandma was old and had heart disease, but she didn’t even consider if her grandma would be upset or if she could take it. Did Qiao Xi not consider that? No! She just didn’t care. Her grandma had always treated her well and never like a nanny, but she still chose to do this.
"Since you want to go, then go." Shen Hanxing sneered, and her long eyelashes covered the coldness in her eyes. "The key is in the finance department. You can just go over and ask for it. Just tell them that I permitted you to enter."
Qiao Xi immediately jumped for joy and nodded while suppressing her excitement. "Mrs. Ji, don’t worry. I’ll clean your office until it’s spotless!"
Shen Hanxing smiled and said nothing more.
"Alright, I’m tired," Grandma’s interest waned. She said indifferently, "I’m going upstairs to rest. You guys should rest too."
