Looking up at Shen Ye, Shen Nanyi's mind was filled with the image of Shen Nansheng as a little kid. She simply couldn't bring herself to call him "uncle".
In her past life, Shen Nansheng was born into the family when Shen Nanyi was in her teens. There was quite an age gap between them, so in Shen Nanyi's eyes, Shen Nansheng was just a little kid. Now, he was actually her uncle?
After a long mental struggle, Shen Nanyi just couldn't bring herself to address the snot - nosed little girl as an elder.
"Why aren't you saying a word? Are you so happy to suddenly have such a handsome uncle like me that you're stunned?" Without exaggeration, Shen Nansheng had grown up following Shen Nanyi around. He knew her better than anyone.
Maybe he had been suppressed by Shen Nanyi for too long. Now that he finally had the upper hand, Shen Ye was eager to see Shen Nanyi yield to him. He thought that feeling would be quite interesting.
Shen Nanyi stared at Shen Ye for a few more seconds. Her gaze made Shen Rui feel a bit creepy, and goosebumps rose on his body. Even though their identities had changed, many things were deeply ingrained and couldn't be changed overnight.
"My dear uncle, I'd like to have a private word with you. I wonder if you have the time?" With a sweet smile on her face, Shen Nanyi's attitude changed quite quickly, and her tone was very amiable.
The more she was like this, the more nervous Shen Ye got. He took a few steps back in fright, then without saying a word, turned around and ran away at breakneck speed.
The sudden turn of events left the people on the scene a bit dazed. Who could tell them what was going on?
In recent years, Shen Ye had been the biggest headache for Shen Rui. He was more opinionated than Shen Rui himself and always took the unconventional path. What was going on today? It seemed like he was fleeing in a hurry.
As a professional psychologist, Shen Rui keenly sensed that Shen Ye was a bit afraid of Shen Nanyi.
The little devil who was afraid of nothing actually had someone he was scared of?
As Shen Ye left, Ling Xiaoxiao chased after him. Since time was pressing, Shen Nanyi didn't stay any longer. She planned to go home and persuade her parents. She was really having a hard time.
Surprised that everyone left so quickly because of her arrival, Shen Rui scratched his nose and then left too.
They had rented the restaurant for an afternoon, but the group had only stayed for less than ten minutes. The restaurant owner was looking around in a daze, not knowing whether he should resume business.
After much thought, the restaurant owner simply gave the hotel staff a day off and stayed there by himself.
The hotel staff unexpectedly got a pleasant surprise.
Standing in front of her house, Shen Nanyi was seriously thinking about how to persuade Zhao Shuyan to let her go abroad. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with a good reason. Instead, she heard some banging sounds coming from inside the house.
Without much thought, Shen Nanyi opened the door and walked in quickly, with Ji Beichuan closely following behind.
There was even a faint sense of anticipation in her heart. If there was really an accident in Shen Nanyi's house, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for her to show herself?
She pushed the door open, but the expected situation didn't happen. There were a few huge money trees in the living room, and Zhao Shuyan was carefully putting stones into the pots for decoration.
At first glance, Shen Nanyi thought the things looked a bit familiar. After a closer look, she couldn't stay calm anymore. The stones that Zhao Shuyan was using for decoration were the ones she had bought from the jade - gambling shop!
The delivery staff had been really fast, but who could tell her why the stones that had made the system so excited were now being buried in the soil by her mother?
"Nanyi, where did you buy these stones? They're green and quite pretty." Seeing her precious daughter come back, Zhao Shuyan finally shifted her gaze from the pile of stones on the ground.
As if she had discovered a new world, she couldn't wait to show Shen Nanyi a few oddly - shaped stones.
Although she had only spent a short time in the jade - gambling shop, Shen Nanyi had still learned some new knowledge. She knew that when Zhao Shuyan said "green", it meant that there was jade inside.
"Share the shop with me. Next time when I'm free, I'll go with the neighbors in the community. They look great either in the flower pots or at home." Zhao Shuyan didn't notice Shen Nanyi's strange expression at all. She was already eager to share her joy with her little sisters.
"… Okay." Not wanting to shatter Zhao Shuyan's beautiful illusion, Shen Nanyi finally agreed against her conscience. She was already thinking about where to find a stone - selling shop.
She thought it was all over, but when Shen Nanyi saw her father holding a small stool and the tea leaves she had just bought, about to go out, she felt that her tolerance was still too low.
After all, she probably wouldn't take out tea that cost hundreds of thousands per gram to treat others. Shen Nanyi felt that she needed to gently remind her father.
