Ling Mo took in the expressions of the group and found it all quite boring.
She had always been too lazy to bother with these things, so this time she simply grabbed Liu Guifen's hand and sat down in the back seat of the van.
Seeing this, Zhu Yanyan quickly gestured for Shi Huan to follow, and said urgently:
“Huanhuan, your cousin is doing well now, you have to get on her good side. Use the methods I’ve been teaching you these past few days. Once you gain her trust, you’ll soon be able to join the elite circle and become a rich heiress.”
"Mom, I never wanted to be a rich heiress."
Shi Huan interrupted Zhu Yanyan somewhat reluctantly. She was still young and had not yet been influenced by Zhu Yanyan's shrewdness and worldly air.
All she wanted was for her family to live happily together; whether they were rich or poor wasn't that important.
Zhu Yanyan rolled her eyes inelegantly, with a hint of disappointment, and pointed at the bag Shi Huan was carrying in a low voice, saying:
"Look at your bag, it's a cheap trinket that costs thirty yuan, and you're carrying it with such relish? And look at your cousin's bag, it's a limited edition DC bag. According to your cousin, a single DC bag costs over thirty thousand yuan."
“My cousin has money, so of course she can afford it. I’m still a student, so a 30-yuan bag is enough for me.”
Shi Huan disagreed and seriously refuted Zhu Yanyan.
"You ungrateful wretch! I'm only thinking about your future, and you're talking back to me like that." Zhu Yanyan impatiently pulled Shi Huan's arm and shoved her into the seat next to Ling Mo without giving her a chance to explain.
"mom!"
Shi Huan frowned and let out a soft cry. When she saw Ling Mo and Liu Guifen looking at her, she immediately fell silent, shrinking her neck like an ostrich and daring not to speak loudly again.
"Give."
Seeing Shi Huan's awkwardness, Ling Mo remained silent for a while before finally extending an olive branch to her, offering her a lollipop.
Having lived under someone else's roof for seven years, Ling Mo naturally knew the awkwardness of staying in someone else's home or asking for a favor.
Although Shi Xing and Zhu Yanyan never treated her well, there is no doubt that if it weren't for their taking her in, she might have become a beggar on the streets long ago.
As for the foolish things Shi Yi and Ling Tian did, she never imagined they would be related to her uncle's family...
Feeling the goodwill Ling Mo was showing, Shi Huan was clearly flattered.
Over the past seven years, she had hardly ever spent time alone with Ling Mo. However, she could tell from Zhu Yanyan's attitude towards Ling Mo that he had not been having a good time at her house.
They had thought that their family's trip to seek refuge with Ling Mo would surely result in them being treated coldly.
Unexpectedly, Ling Mo was actually willing to talk to them.
Zhu Yanyan looked at the dazed Shi Huan and anxiously shouted:
"You silly kid, you're usually so sweet-talking, but today you seem like your skull has been ripped open, all dumbfounded! Hurry up and thank me!"
"Thank you, cousin."
Shi Huan was somewhat disgusted by Zhu Yanyan's behavior of scolding her in front of so many people, but she still forced herself to thank Ling Mo.
"You're welcome."
Ling Mo replied calmly, a faint smile still on his face.
In the past, she definitely wouldn't have bothered with this whole family.
However, since she started dating Qin Beiming, his meticulous care has not only warmed her cold heart, but also taught her how to show kindness.
Seeing that Ling Mo treated Shi Huan fairly well, Shi Xing suddenly had a dramatic acting outburst, blinking her eyes and managing to squeeze out two tears.
Seeing this, Zhan Hanjue was completely stunned. He quickly handed over a tissue and asked in a deep voice:
"What's wrong with my brother-in-law?"
"It's nothing, I'm just happy for Momo."
Shi Xing took the tissue, hastily wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then gripped Zhan Hanjue's hand tightly, sobbing and wiping away tears, and said:
"Brother-in-law, even for the sake of my deceased sister, you have to help me."
"What are you saying, brother-in-law? I will do everything in my power to help you in any way I can."
Zhan Hanjue had heard Shi Ying mention her good-for-nothing brother before, but then again, Shi Xing was Shi Ying's brother after all, and no matter what, he would do his best to satisfy Shi Xing's requests.
"Actually, your sister-in-law and I came to the city this time mainly to see how Momo is doing. We should go back in a few days. But Yi'er and Huan'er are still young, and I always hope that they can make something of themselves like Momo."
Especially Huan'er, she's so beautiful, in no way inferior to Momo, and her talents are outstanding too; she can sing and dance. I think if she stayed in the city to study, she would definitely have a better future.”
Zhan Hanjue raised his eyebrows slightly. Hearing that Shi Xing frequently compared Shi Huan and Ling Mo, he was naturally not very pleased.
In his heart, there really was no one in the world who could compare to his beloved daughter.
However, he was too lazy to bother with so many things at once.
After a moment's hesitation, he asked directly:
"Does your brother-in-law mean that Huan'er and Yi'er want to stay in Linjiang to study?"
"Brother-in-law, is my request too much?" Shi Xing asked tentatively, carefully observing Zhan Hanjue's expression.
Zhan Hanjue could understand Shi Xing's feelings at this moment, but he preferred to respect Shi Yi and Shi Huan's thoughts, so he turned his head and asked in a low voice:
"Would Huan'er and Yi'er like to stay in Linjiang to study?"
"Uncle, I'm willing to stay in Linjiang to study. I'm tired of the hard life in the countryside. Now I just want to study hard and strive to become your right-hand man as soon as possible." Shi Yi reacted very quickly, expressing his determination as soon as Zhan Hanjue finished speaking.
