Shi Xi: "You didn't just invite me here for a meal, did you?"
Hua Wenying's eyes were deep and thoughtful. "I know your work will be in Yanjing from now on. How about you go back to the manor to stay?"
“The manor is too far from where I work,” Shi Xi politely declined. “I’m living in a very nice place now, so don’t worry about it.”
"But, but I want to talk to you more." Hua Wenying was not good at expressing her feelings.
Shi Xi should have been more patient.
Hua Wenying has a soft personality, especially when it comes to emotions; she is extremely easily swayed by feelings.
“You can send me a WeChat message.” Shi Xi pretended not to realize that Hua Wenying wanted her to return to the Hua family manor, and said with a light smile, “However, I’m usually very busy and may not be able to reply in time.”
It means I won't be replying.
"Don't you miss home?" Hua Wenying asked anxiously when she saw Shi Xi like this.
"What do you want to say?" Shi Xi's dark eyes were cold and deep. Despite her pretty and cute appearance, she didn't act like a pampered young lady at the moment.
Hua Wenying felt a pang of fear when she saw that look in her eyes. "I... I just want you to be able to go back to the Hua family manor."
"What would we do if we went back?" Shi Xi asked in return.
Hua Wenying: "Spend more time with us. Your grandfather misses you a lot, and so do Xuanhe and Hengzhe. They've been saying they want a sensible little sister..."
Shi Xi scoffed, "Be sensible? So, if I'm not sensible, I can't be their little sister?"
Hua Wenying quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say—"
"No need to say anything more." Shi Xi felt a little irritated. "You are my biological mother. You should stand in my shoes and think from my perspective, instead of making me satisfy other people's needs."
“They like you too. I just want you to interact with them more; it will be good for you,” Hua Wenying said softly. “You’re just a young girl working so hard in the entertainment industry. I don’t want to see you so exhausted.”
"If you don't endure the hardships of life now, you'll suffer the hardships of a mediocre life later," Shi Xi said, offering a piece of chicken soup for the soul. "I won't be going back to live there permanently, so don't try to persuade me."
Even if she doesn't stay at Xie Yunzhou's place, she can still afford to stay in a hotel.
There's no need to stay at the Hua Family Manor.
"Are you still angry with me?" Hua Wenying suddenly asked, "Because of Ruoling?"
"No."
“Ruoling is a good child. She just had a bad thought for a moment. Now that Gu Yinuo has recovered and been discharged from the hospital, that matter is over,” Hua Wenying continued to explain.
Shi Xi raised her eyes, her dark pupils bright. "I'm not angry anymore. You've been with Hua Ruoling for over ten years, so it's normal that you have deep feelings for her."
Hua Wenying breathed a sigh of relief and looked into Shi Xi's eyes. "You are my real daughter. I will treat you even better from now on."
Shi Xi blinked and smiled faintly, "Okay."
Yes, what is there for her and Hua Wenying to argue about?
Even if a conclusion is reached, it will be a lose-lose situation for both sides.
Shi Xi lowered her eyes.
She's just too kind-hearted.
"Then, about living back at the Hua family manor..." Hua Wenying brought it up again.
“Going back to live is too far. If there’s a family banquet at the manor, I’ll go back.” Shi Xi conceded.
Hua Wenying wanted to say something more, but didn't want to push too hard, so she took out a check and handed it over, saying, "Being an artist is expensive. If you run out of money, just tell me."
Shi Xi glanced at the amount on it.
Holy crap, ten million.
She's a rich woman.
Hua Wenying thought she was going to refuse, so she quickly said, "Consider this your New Year's money, please accept it."
