Shi Xi and her mother both looked displeased.
“Xixi is my daughter. Is there a problem with her living here?” Shi’s mother said unhappily.
In terms of straightforwardness, Shi Mu was even more straightforward than Shi Xi.
Moreover, they are protective of their own.
When Ning Yu returned, Shi's mother was afraid that Shi Xi would be bullied, so she warned and reprimanded Ning Yu.
Ning Yu is still her biological daughter.
Who is Xu Ziqing?
How dare you bully her daughter?
Seeing that her mother's tone was not good, Xu Ziqing quickly smiled and said, "I just thought that since you are so elegant and classy, Auntie, I would like to meet your daughter."
While we're at it, let's take a jab at Shi Xi.
Clearly, Xu Ziqing had miscalculated.
Shi's mother didn't show much favoritism towards her own daughter, Ning Yu. When she mentioned her, she simply said, "Ning Yu is studying at Peking University."
Xu Ziqing praised, "You're really amazing, you actually got into Peking University."
Mother Shi had little interest in talking to Ning Yu, this troublesome child, and gave her perfunctory replies.
Shi Xi listened for a few moments and thought to herself, "What an idiot!" Her mother liked her, Shi Xi, more than her own daughter, Ning Yu.
After exchanging a few words, Xu Ziqing secretly cursed herself for being tactless and also cursed Shi's mother for being mentally ill.
Why doesn't she like her own daughter, but instead dotes on the fake heiress, Shi Xi?!
Are you crazy?!
Shi Xi had thought about this question before.
Later, after seeing how Shi's mother and Ning Yu interacted, she understood a lot more.
Shi's mother loved her obedient and well-behaved daughter and wanted to arrange everything for her.
Ning Yu has a cold and aloof personality. She dislikes others interfering in her affairs and has many private matters to attend to. She is not good at being the doll her mother wants.
Ning Yu preferred selling crabs with the Ning family couple to spending time with Shi's mother.
...
It wasn't until dinner time that Shi's father and Shi Xu returned.
Upon seeing Xu Ziqing, Shi Xu's fatigue from the entire day was instantly amplified.
Everyone sat around the dining table eating.
A moment of silence.
"Qingqing, I heard you work for a foreign company? What kind of work do you do now?" Mr. Shi broke the silence and asked.
Xu Ziqing smiled and said, "I am currently the finance director of Fengwan Group, mainly responsible for the company's financial accounting work."
Mr. Shi said, "You've become the finance manager at such a young age, that's impressive!"
"It's not that impressive, just a small company," Xu Ziqing said modestly.
"Have you considered switching jobs to the Shi family?" Shi's father asked.
Xu Ziqing's heart raced, and she joked, "Uncle, the threshold for the Shi family is so high, I don't think I can make it."
Timeline: "The Shi family is not short of people right now."
Xu Ziqing: ……
Shi's father said with dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with supporting one more idle person?"
Xu Ziqing: ?
Shi Xi silently lowered her head and ate her rice, not participating in the discussion.
There's been a bit of tension at home lately, so she should probably stay at the film crew's hotel from now on.
Shi Xu: "We'll have to support Shi Xi, this idle person, from now on. We can't support so many idle people."
Shi Xi paused while she was picking up a chicken wing.
She shouldn't have used her chopsticks!
Shi's mother said discontentedly, "What are you saying? Xixi can earn her own money now. She even bought me a beauty device when she came back this time!"
Chronology: "It's all a useless waste of money; she just likes to buy these fancy but useless things."
Shi Xi picked up a chicken wing and changed the subject, saying, "These chicken wings are delicious, everyone should try them."
The topic was diverted, and Xu Ziqing's entry into the Shi family was also brought up and not mentioned again.
Xu Ziqing kept thinking that if she could join the Shi family, she would be closer to Shi Xu!
It's good for building relationships!
