Chapter 494: Great Skills
Ji Zixuan said, "I'm sorry, my cousin likes this doll. Can you please give it up?"
There was only this one doll on the shelf, and no salesperson around.
Ji Zixuan was afraid that Li Xiang would cry again if he couldn’t get the doll, and he really didn’t want to hear the child cry.
The girl who took the doll was wearing a red dress, her hair was loose, and there was a small crown hairpin on her head.
The girl originally had her back to Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang. After hearing what Ji Zixuan said, she turned around, looked at him proudly, and said word by word: "No, this is mine."
Ji Zixuan was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding why this strange girl was looking at him in that way.
After hearing that the girl wanted to snatch the doll from her, Li Xiang grabbed Ji Yuanyuan's hand and said coquettishly, "Sister, I want it. I have money. I can buy it myself!"
As she spoke, she took out a hundred yuan from her pocket with her other hand.
Probably Li Lei stuffed it into her hand.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly told her to keep the money.
Beside him, Ji Ziang stared at the girl with a frown.
What's going on? Why does he feel that this woman looks so familiar? As if he has seen her somewhere before?
Ji Yuanyuan calmed Li Xiang down and was about to speak when a woman suddenly came over and shouted, "Ling Xue, what are you doing?"
The woman looked to be in her forties, with a big belly. It looked like she was pregnant, probably three or four months.
Hearing this name, the brothers Ji Ziang and Ji Zixuan suddenly realized.
"Chen Lingxue?" Ji Ziang asked in a lost voice.
The woman looked over in surprise and said, "Do you know my daughter? But my daughter's surname is Jiang now, Jiang Lingxue."
Ji Yuanyuan held Li Xiang's hand, raised her head, and looked carefully at the two people in front of her.
The skirt that Jiang Lingxue was wearing was made of fine material and it was obvious at first glance that it was very expensive.
The woman was wearing a jade bracelet on her wrist, and the skin on the back of her hand was very delicate, indicating that she seldom worked.
"Mom, these are my stepfather's three brothers and sisters whom I told you about before."
The woman's expression was originally very gentle, but after hearing Jiang Lingxue's explanation, her expression suddenly became serious.
She reached out and held Jiang Lingxue's hand, as if to comfort her.
Jiang Lingxue also changed her arrogant and domineering look, becoming humble and submissive, with a somewhat aggrieved expression on her face.
"Sister, if you like it, I'll give this to you. I have a lot more at home, it's okay." Jiang Lingxue stretched out her hand and handed over the doll obediently.
The woman frowned and said meaningfully, "Don't be afraid, Lingxue. Your mother is here. No one can bully you now. The doll is in your hands now. If you like it, we can buy it."
Jiang Lingxue raised her head, looked at the woman, and bit her lip: "I like it, but..."
The woman shook her head: "It's okay, then we'll take it. No one can bully you here."
This woman might be Jiang Lingxue's adoptive mother.
Back then, her mother died, no one knew who her father was, and her stepfather Ji Jianguo disappeared without a trace.
If your grandparents are old and their living conditions are poor, they can be sent to an orphanage.
However, Jiang Lingxue was already seven or eight years old at that time. Generally speaking, it is difficult to find an adoptive family for children of this age.
But Jiang Lingxue not only found an adoptive family, but her adoptive mother also seemed to be in pretty good condition.
Ji Yuanyuan was somewhat impressed by Jiang Lingxue; her skills were truly amazing.
No matter what time it is, she has the ability to make herself live a good life.
However, Ji Yuanyuan smiled at Jiang Lingxue.
Who made her meet herself?
Just now, Jiang Lingxue's adoptive mother was supporting her in every way, and she kept complaining about her grievances. I guess Jiang Lingxue said a lot of bad things about them in her adoptive family.
In Jiang Lingxue's story, she is Cinderella, and the three siblings are the vicious stepsisters and stepbrothers.
"It's okay, sister. You got it first, so you can take it. I'll ask the salesperson later, there should be new ones." Ji Yuanyuan looked at Jiang Lingxue with a very tolerant expression, like an older sister.
Jiang Lingxue probably didn't expect that Ji Yuanyuan didn't argue with her, so the hand she stretched out immediately became a little stiff.
After a moment, she withdrew her hand, raised her head, and looked timidly at the woman next to her.
The woman nodded at her, and she smiled and held the doll in her arms.
The woman took her hand and turned to leave.
Ji Yuanyuan was a little hesitant: "Sister Ling Xue..."
Jiang Lingxue didn't look back, but the woman stopped.
She glared at Ji Yuanyuan: "Do you have anything else to do?"
Obviously, this woman truly treated Jiang Lingxue as her own daughter.
And she is the villain in Jiang Lingxue's story, so the woman is so cruel to her.
Seeing this, Ji Zixuan stepped forward and stood in front of Ji Yuanyuan: "Auntie, what's your attitude? My sister didn't say anything, right? Why are you so angry?"
"Damn it! What did my sister say that caused you to have this attitude? I say, auntie, since you are pregnant, you should relax. Otherwise, it will be bad for your health." Ji Ziang also spoke sarcastically.
Ji Yuanyuan took advantage of the woman's silence and quickly said, "Brother, what are you doing? Auntie is our elder, we have to respect her. Auntie, I just want to say a few words to Ling Xue..."
She turned her head and looked at Jiang Lingxue: "Sister Lingxue, I just want to tell you that although we had some unpleasantness before, it is all in the past. After all, your mother was pregnant when my parents were still not divorced..."
After hearing Ji Yuanyuan's words, Jiang Lingxue's expression became a little nervous.
Her eyes kept drifting towards her adoptive mother's face.
Ji Yuanyuan knew that Jiang Lingxue definitely had not told her adoptive mother about her past.
After hearing Ji Yuanyuan's words, Jiang Lingxue's adoptive mother also frowned.
"Mom, let's go!" Jiang Lingxue was timid at this time and just wanted to pull her adoptive mother and leave.
The foster mother hesitated, but did not move.
"I was young at that time, and maybe I said a few hurtful words to you, but don't take it to heart. Your mother took my father's money and got together with someone else, and then she got cheated. She came back to vent her anger on us, and ended up having a car accident in front of our store. It was my mother who called 110 and 120. The perpetrator was a rich second-generation man, and he caused trouble for us later." Ji Yuanyuan said straightly to herself.
Jiang Lingxue bit her lip and angrily retorted: "You are talking nonsense, my mother has never done these things."
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Jiang Lingxue with pity and sighed, "Forget it, if you say no, then so be it. I just want you to know that we are not enemies. If we meet again in the future, don't be aggressive with me."
