Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 1048 The Real and Fake Aunt of the Daughter (9)
After this incident, Jing Kai no longer had the heart to play outside, so he packed up and hurried back to Beijing. As soon as he got back, he was taken to work in the company by his older brother and sister. They said that he had been playing for several years and it was time for him to go to work, and they couldn't let him go on doing nothing like this.
Originally he wanted to go abroad to continue his extreme sports, but somehow, thinking of the teeth mark on his neck, he did not act up for the first time and actually went to work obediently, which surprised Brother Jing and Sister Jing. They thought he would have to make trouble a few more times before he compromised.
Sheng Shichu did not stop her pace. She played all over Yuncheng and took many photos. However, in the second month, Sheng's mother finally urged her to go home: "Did you have too much fun in Yuncheng? Don't you want to go home? Next Friday is your niece's 100-day banquet. As an aunt, you can't be absent. Come back quickly."
"Little Weilai is turning 100 days old so soon? Okay, I'll be back before next Friday, don't worry, mom." Sheng Shichu said happily.
"Just be aware of this and be careful when you're outside..." Mother Sheng reminded her again.
Sheng Shichu listened to her instructions patiently and responded with "hmm", and Mother Sheng nagged for more than ten minutes before hanging up the phone with satisfaction.
Sheng Shichu happened to be in Yuncheng, so she planned to buy a jade pendant for her niece as a hundred-day gift at the border jade market in Yuncheng. There were of course good goods in the border jade market, but there were also many scammers who specialized in defrauding young people. However, Sheng Shichu could not be fooled by them. Instead, she got a lot of bargains. So she simply brought back some jade jewelry for everyone in her family.
She finally returned home two days before her niece's hundred-day party. When Sheng's mother saw that her skin was tanned from playing, she couldn't help but glare at her: "You had so much fun playing outside, didn't you? Look at your skin, it's all tanned. Your niece's hundred-day party is in two days, and you have to wear a dress. Now your skin color is uneven, and it won't look good in it. Really!"
Sheng Shichu glanced at her arms and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Mom, my skin will become white soon." She can prepare her own skin care products to adjust her skin tone. She is not afraid of getting tanned, as her skin will become white again in two days.
"How fast can you turn white in two days?" Mother Sheng didn't know Sheng Shichu's ability, so she said unhappily, "I wanted to take advantage of Xiao Weilai's 100-day banquet to have you dress up beautifully so that others would pay more attention to you. Now it seems that you can only work hard on your own in the future."
"Mom, Shichu is so pretty, how could you worry about not finding a boyfriend? You are worrying for no reason." Li Wei said with a smile while holding her daughter, and then said to Sheng Shichu, "Look at your little niece, she has grown so fast in the past two months, now she has become a little meat ball, soft and feels great to touch, do you want to hold her and have a look?"
Sheng Shichu looked at the little ball of flesh grinning at her brightly and reached out to hug her. Little Weilai was not shy at all and let her hold him obediently. His eyes like black grapes looked straight at Sheng Shichu, and his little arms and legs like lotus roots kept making noises. He felt heavy in her arms, and he was indeed growing up well.
"Little Weilai, do you miss your aunt?" Sheng Shichu pinched her little face and asked with a smile.
"Ahh!" Little Weilai responded with dancing and saliva flowing from his toothless little mouth. He was extremely happy.
"Oh, the little baby is drooling again!" Li Wei quickly took a tissue to wipe Xiao Wei's saliva.
Mother Sheng slapped Sheng Shichu's hand away and said, "Don't pinch her face, or she'll drool."
Sheng Shichu had no choice but to let go of his niece's chubby face and pinch her knuckles instead.
"Mom, sister-in-law, is Weilai overweight?" Sheng Shichu asked after weighing the little guy.
"Don't talk nonsense! All children are like this, they are growing fat." Sheng's mother retorted, "It's perfect for Xiaowei to look like this, what a blessing!"
Li Wei couldn't stop laughing and said to Sheng Shichu, "I took her to the hospital for a physical examination two days ago. Her weight is indeed higher than the average weight of babies of her age. However, the doctor said it's okay and it's normal. After all, it's just a little higher than the average."
Sheng Shichu was deeply moved after listening to this. In the original world's plot, Xiao Weilai lived in such a harsh environment. Her adoptive father Zhang Lei did not change his bad habits and beat people when he lost a bet. Liu Yaomei was beaten and frightened. She did not take good care of herself during the confinement period, and her milk ran out before she was out of it. What's more, Xiao Weilai was not her biological daughter. She did not know how to take good care of Xiao Weilai. She only boiled some rice porridge for Xiao Weilai occasionally, just to make sure she didn't starve to death. As a result, Xiao Weilai was so skinny from hunger that she didn't even have the strength to cry.
It was also because she had not had enough to eat since childhood that when she returned to the Sheng family as an adult, Xiao Weilai was only about 1.5 meters tall and weighed less than 80 kilograms. She was thin and small. In addition, she was beaten and scolded since childhood, which made her extremely inferior and developed a gloomy and timid personality. This was in sharp contrast to the fake daughter who grew up in the Sheng family, who was spoiled and was proud, confident, cheerful and enthusiastic. This further aggravated her inferiority complex and sensitive psychology.
But now, her fate has returned to normal. The little future, who was treated as the apple of the family's eye, will never grow up to be like that. She was born into wealth, loved by her parents, and doted on by her relatives. She is destined to grow up to be proud and confident.
Sheng Shichu kissed his little niece on the cheek, making her giggle. She was carefree, like a cute little piglet, not realizing that her fate had been twisted by her aunt back to the track she was supposed to be on.
Friday arrived quickly, and the Sheng family was dressed up. The hundred-day banquet for the next generation of the Sheng family's little princess was naturally very grand, and many celebrities were invited. As the little future aunt, Sheng Shichu naturally had to help receive the guests.
This kind of work was something that both the original owner and Shichu were very skilled at, so she was very comfortable and graceful in receiving guests. Many ladies praised her for her proper, generous and polite manners when they saw her. Mother Sheng was very happy, and she took Sheng Shichu to show off everywhere, especially to those ladies who had sons of the right age to show off her daughter's excellence.
How could Sheng Shichu not know what her mother was thinking? It was obvious that she wanted to marry her off, but she was not in a hurry at all, so she found an excuse and quickly slipped away.
"Shichu!" Yu Shanshan quietly ran over to find Sheng Shichu, holding the hem of her skirt, her face full of excitement: "Guess who I saw coming?"
Sheng Shichu asked: "Who?"
"Jing Kai!" Yu Shanshan's eyes sparkled with excitement, as if she had smelled gossip. "Sister, tell me honestly, have you really lost contact with Jing Kai during this period? Aren't their families on par with yours? Why did he come to your niece's hundred-day banquet this time? Shouldn't he be eager to stay away from you?"
