Chapter 426: Poaching
"What’s wrong with your mouth? Did you bite it when eating food?" Sun Yu looked at her beautiful eldest granddaughter, who had injured her lips. Her heart ached, and she quickly shouted, "Hurry up and bring the medicine over. Don’t leave a scar."
Shen Xi quickly said, "I accidentally touched it. It’s fine. It’s a small wound. It won’t leave a scar."
Shen Hui’s expression turned serious as he said with concern, "Listen to your grandmother. You can’t ignore small wounds. You have to apply medicine."
Shen Xi had no choice but to wait for the medicine to be applied obediently. When Shen Xi appeared in the banquet hall again, she was adorned with a multitude of accessories.
"Aunt, this looks so strange. I look like a Christmas tree full of ornaments. Can we take it off?" Shen Xi looked at Shen Qian with a distressed expression. She pouted and acted coquettishly.
Looking at Shen Xi’s behaviour, Shen Qian’s heart was about to melt. She had always wanted a daughter, but unfortunately, she could not give birth to one. Now that she saw Shen Xi’s soft and cuddly appearance, there was nothing she could not agree to. She immediately agreed and removed the things on Shen Xi’s body. She asked someone to pack them up so that Shen Xi could bring them back later.
The last bracelet on Shen Xi’s wrist was left. Shen Qian said, "You can’t take this off. This is the Peace Bracelet that your grandmother has worn all her life. One is with me, and the other is for you now. If you take it off now, your grandmother will be unhappy when she sees it later."
Although the jade green bracelet did not match the gown on her body at all, Shen Xi listened to her aunt’s words. After all, this was her grandmother’s kind intention, and it was not easy to reject it.
Shen Qian originally wanted to bring Shen Xi to meet more people, but Shen Xi felt that it would be better to wait until her parents returned to Beijing and introduce them officially, so she declined.
Shen Xi gave the gift she had brought to Shen Qian. It was a painting that she had created herself. It was a painting of a banana and begonia in the rain at night. She had specially asked her mother, Lu Shan, for advice on the technique she had used.
Shen Qian loved it so much that she told Shen Xi to eat and drink well. Then, she took the painting and went over to her parents to show off. Shen Hui and Sun Yu were so angry that they wanted to celebrate their birthday on the spot.
