Chapter 545 Why have you only come now?
Luo Xuyan thought to himself that in the future, he must practice even more diligently, striving to participate in performances soon, and he would give all the prize money to his little sister. Luo Xuyuan, however, was scheming about other matters.
As for Luo Siyan and Luo Siyuan, they were thinking of leaving everything in their pockets to their little sister when they left the Yuan Family home later.
After lunch, Luo Qiao took her brothers for a walk around the courtyard, introducing them and Stone to people they knew without emphasizing the third brother. Still, Luo Siyan managed to be remembered by many.
Jin Jing also integrated into the Yuan Family that day, and everyone thought the girl was quite gentle. Yuan Weicheng saw that things were progressing as he had envisioned and was in a very good mood.
Yuan Weicheng intended to solve the issues concerning Jin Jing’s maternal family, but to his surprise, he hadn’t yet made his move when an unexpected incident occurred.
Upon leaving the military hospital, Jin Li encountered her cousin at their front gate. Hearing that a new batch of scarves had arrived, they both went to the department store. By the time they got there, only one new scarf remained at the counter.
A female comrade had claimed the scarf before them but was short fifty cents at checkout. She asked the salesperson to wait as her daughter-in-law would arrive shortly, but Jin Li would not have it and demanded the salesperson make out the bill, arguing it was unreasonable to hold an item without paying.
The salesperson, caught in a dilemma, was pressed by Jin Li, who claimed she knew the supervisor upstairs, and threatened to seek them out if the bill wasn’t made. Consequently, the salesperson reluctantly told the woman, "I’m sorry, but I must serve her first. When you come back in a few days, I’ll make sure to reserve one for you."
Jin Li triumphantly got the scarf, perhaps too pleased with herself as she flaunted it on the street, and got so excited that she started walking backward.
While advising her cousin on how to style the scarf attractively, Jin Li didn’t notice the remains of a snowpile at the roadside which had turned dangerously slippery. She fell backward immediately, and it would have been a simple tumble had it not been winter and had there not been two stones behind her.
When the doctor emerged from the operating room, the anxious parents from the Jin Family asked, "Doctor, how is my daughter?"
