Shi Xi didn't want to argue with an old man any further, so she simply said, "I understand."
Shi Yue's eyes were full of calculation, devoid of yesterday's unease, worry, and helplessness; instead, they were filled with the smugness of a successful scheme.
Shi Xi hadn't spent time with her mother for a long time, and with school starting tomorrow, she wouldn't have much time to spend with her mother, so she planned to spend time with her mother today.
Fortunately, Shi's mother stayed at home and did not go out.
Shi's mother came downstairs and looked at Shi Xi with a kind expression. "Little Xi, it's been a long time since I've really looked at my daughter properly."
Yesterday, Shi Hao told his parents that the girl who had been living with his mother's mother was not Xiao Xi. Her daughter had been kidnapped and secretly trained to be an assassin.
Shi Hao was too young to know about the Shi family's grudges, but they knew that the Shi family's massacre a hundred years ago was caused by an assassin organization.
That assassin organization had been watching them and had even kidnapped their daughter.
Thinking of this, Shi's mother wanted to cry, her voice choked with sobs, "Xiao Xi."
Shi Xi: "Mom, who bullied you? Tell me, and I'll get revenge for you."
“No one bullied me, but the thought that I haven’t been by your side for almost eighteen years makes me… very sad.” Shi’s mother wiped away her tears.
Shi Xi hugged her mother and gently patted her back, comforting her, "The past is not important. What's important is the present and the future. Mom, Dad, eldest brother, second brother, you will always be with me and protect me, won't you?"
"Yes...we will always be with you and will never let anyone hurt or bully you again."
Mi Rou turned her head away from the embracing mother and daughter. Shi Hao had already told Shi's father and mother that Shi Xi had been arrested, so it was understandable that they were heartbroken.
If Shi Xi's parents hadn't listened to others and sent her to the countryside, but instead raised her from a young age, the X organization wouldn't have been able to capture her so easily.
After Shi Xi celebrated her birthday, her family members all seemed a bit strange.
"Mom, are my older brother and Dad coming back at noon today?"
Shi's mother left Shi Xi's embrace, rubbing the corners of her eyes. "I don't know. There was some urgent business at the company. They went to the company early this morning."
"Today, you're going shopping with Mom. Don't worry about your older brother or your dad, okay?"
"Okay, I don't think I've ever gone shopping with my mom before."
The two acted on impulse and immediately went shopping.
Thirteen drove, and Mi Rou went shopping with them.
Shi Xi didn't want to buy anything. Her mother took a liking to two nice outfits and went into the fitting room to try them on. Shi Xi stayed outside chatting with Shisan and Mi Rou.
"Miss Shi, what a coincidence." A gloomy voice came from behind Shi Xi.
Shi Xi looked back, stood up, and greeted the newcomer with a smile, "Hello, Second Young Master Qin."
The person who arrived was Qin Feng, the one who sent a chill down Shi Xi's spine.
Qin Feng embraced a beautiful, curvaceous woman and said, "Calling me Second Young Master Qin is too formal. The Qin family and the Shi family are related. If you don't mind, you can call me Second Cousin."
"Second cousin." Shi Xi called out as soon as he finished speaking.
Shi's mother is Qin Feng's aunt, so Shi Xi should call Qin Feng her cousin.
Shi Xi looked at the woman next to Qin Feng, "Is this my cousin's girlfriend?"
Qin Feng released the woman. "How could that be? She's just someone who's killing time. Go pick out the clothes you like, I'll pay for them later."
The woman wasn't annoyed by Qin Feng's lack of courtesy; all she wanted was material things. "Miss Shi, it's been a long time. Do you remember me?"
