Both she and Gu Zhiyun are clean and tidy people, and they will always make sure the bedroom is spotless before leaving.

But now, in the bedroom, one side of the bed sheet is all wrinkled, clearly indicating that someone has sat on it, and the person who sat on it must have been quite heavy.

Even Shen Jingyan's dressing table was a mess, with bottles and jars that were usually neatly arranged lying all over the place.

She opened a newly bought bottle of face cream and found that a large amount had been scooped out.

Gu Zhiyun's bookshelf was also rummaged through, and what's worse, the two of them had their wardrobes ransacked as well.

Without even thinking, it's obvious who did it.

Gu Zhiyun, with a sullen face, tidied up the bedroom again.

Shen Jingyan stated, "Brother Yun, we can't tolerate Qingqing's habit of rummaging through other people's things. At best, it's a lack of manners; at worst, it's a lack of morality."

Gu Zhiyun was still angry: "I'm going to talk to her right now!"

Shen Jingyan grabbed his arm: "Let's leave it at that today. I saw that she was quite happy on her first day of school. Don't ruin her good mood. I'll give her a little nudge at the dinner table tomorrow morning."

The next day at breakfast, Shen Jingyan served Gu Qing food while asking:

"Qingqing, is there anything you need? Anything in your life, anything in your studies, just tell me."

While wolfing down her food, Gu Qing replied, "Auntie, I also want to buy a bottle of face cream, the kind that smells really, really good!"

Doesn't saying that directly admit that you went through Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun's bedroom last night?

Shen Jingyan wanted to laugh to herself. This child looked sharp-tongued and had many bad habits, but in reality, he was just a simpleton with no guile at all.

"Sure, I'll buy you a bottle."

Seeing that Chen Jingyan spoke up generously, Gu Qing said, "Auntie, I think your high heels are really nice. Can you buy me a pair too?"

Original text from Tower Reading Novels

"Qingqing, you're a middle school student now, you can't wear high heels. How about I buy you another pair of white sneakers? Middle school students love wearing white sneakers these days, they're comfortable to walk in and easy to run and jump in."

Gu Qing shoveled rice into her mouth and muttered, "What's so great about white sneakers?"

Since she didn't want it, Shen Jingyan just smiled and didn't say anything more.

Asking her to buy high heels for a middle school student is absolutely impossible.

Seeing that Shen Jingyan didn't seem to have even agreed to buy her white sneakers, Gu Qing spoke up again:

"Auntie, I think your ring and earrings are really pretty. Can you buy me a pair too?"

Shen Jingyan shook his head and said, "Qingqing, I know that young girls love to look beautiful, but you are still a middle school student. What kind of middle school student wears gold and silver? Middle school students should be simple and pure. When you go to university, you can dress up when you have the means, but now is not the time to dress up."

Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian echoed Shen Jingyan's words, saying, "Your aunt is right. What kind of middle school student wears high heels, earrings, and rings?"

Gu Qing became unhappy again, and complained with a long, donkey-like face:

"They made it sound so nice, saying they'd buy whatever I wanted, but all I got was the cheapest face cream."

Shen Jingyan put down her chopsticks, her expression changing from gentle to stern.

"Qingqing, I'm saying I'll buy you things, but only if your requests are reasonable. Spending money on you doesn't mean I'll indulge your every whim. We don't have that kind of upbringing in our family. And don't treat me like a department store, where I can't just give you whatever you want!"

Although Shen Jingyan looks delicate, she has a very intimidating aura when she gets angry.

In her past life, she was a survival queen who fought zombies every day; her appearance and personality were not necessarily proportional.

Gu Qing dared not argue back.

But she pouted and shoveled rice into her mouth angrily, clearly unwilling to accept defeat.

She resented Shen Jingyan largely because Shen Jingyan was only a few years older than her, yet she could use her status as an elder to lecture her.

"Also, Qingqing, you can come and go freely anywhere in our house, but everyone has private space, and we should respect each other. Would you be happy if I just walked into your room and looked through your things?"

Gu Qing cried out indignantly, "Who went through your things? Can't I just go in and take a look?"

"I have OCD; I don't like people rummaging through my things."

The sound of Gu Zhiyun putting down his chopsticks was quite heavy, which startled Gu Qing, who shrank back guiltily.

At this point, it is imperative to support his young wife.

If you're going to be the bad guy, the young couple should be the bad guys together; the wife shouldn't always have to play the good cop.

Gu Qing shrank back like a turtle: "I know."

She said that, but she was still resentful and indignant inside.

She always felt that Gu Zhiyun's serious attitude towards her was instigated by Shen Jingyan.

Before leaving, Wang Hongfang told her to be careful of Shen Jingyan, as this young aunt was not someone to be trifled with.

This morning's incident left Gu Qing feeling deeply aggrieved.

She felt neglected, that everyone sided with Chen Jingyan, and that she was criticized by the whole family even though she hadn't made any mistakes.

"Hmph, you vixen, you think you're the only one who knows how to cause trouble!"

That night, it was almost ten o'clock when Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan were about to go to sleep when there was a loud banging on their bedroom door.

Perhaps because Gu Qing didn't develop the habit of knocking on doors in the countryside, she would bang on the door with her fists, afraid that the person inside wouldn't hear her.
