Chapter 31
Aunt
“Does Fang Yao really like me?”
[…]
“But in my previous life, he had a very bad relationship with me.” Yuan Xiao hugged the blanket, feeling distraught.
[Host, the plot of the previous life will not affect this life, so it’s best for you to reposition your relationship with Fang Yao.]
“Oh, forget it. Sure enough, these trivial matters will only affect my learning speed.”
[Host, if you can get first place in this provincial competition, you will get a chance to draw the lottery. This opportunity is rare. Host, you must seize it!]
“Alright, Little 7. I promise to complete the mission!” Yuan Xiao was very confident in her studies now. Thinking that she still had piano lessons to take, she took out her cell phone and read a few tutorials published by the system.
Unlike the piano courses on the market, the courses published by the Academic Genius System were more straightforward. Moreover, with the enhancement of artistic talent, Yuan Xiao felt that the content in front of her was simple and easy to understand.
“Looks like I still need to play it…” Yuan Xiao looked at her fair and slender fingers and felt that her hands were very suitable for playing the piano. She had really wasted many opportunities in her previous life.
Knock, knock, knock! A series of short and powerful knocks sounded on the door. Her parents were cooking in the kitchen. Ever since Yuan Xiao moved in, there had been no outsiders in the house. Yuan Xiao walked out of the bedroom.
“Oh, sister-in-law, you’re living the life of a rich man now. It’s really different! I feel good as soon as I entered your neighborhood!”
The person’s voice was sharp and ear-piercing. Yuan Xiao sized up the middle-aged woman in front of her.
She had thick eyeliner with bright red lipstick and was slightly chubby. She was wearing an exaggerated bright pink coat that looked heavy and bloated. Her golden earrings were crudely made, but her cheap clothes tried their best to create a noble aura that looked out of place.
“Come, Jun Jun, greet your Uncle and Aunt!” A man with thinning hair said with a smile, pushing the little boy who looked to be eight or nine years old forward.
“Uncle, Aunt!” The little boy called Jun Jun looked very naughty. Although he was talking, his eyes kept looking back and forth in Yuan Xiao’s house. He seemed to like this place very much.
“Come, Jun Jun, come in and sit! Sister, Brother-in-law, come in too,” Feng Mei said as she took out slippers from the shoe rack. Shen Hai had just come out of the bathroom. When he saw the woman in front of him, he frowned slightly.
Shen Hai did not have a good relationship with his biological sister. In the past, when he and Feng Mei had a hard time, Shen Ling avoided their family. Now that she was here, it was definitely not a good thing. Shen Hai reluctantly pulled Yuan Xiao over to talk.
“Sister, Brother-in-law, this is Xiao Xiao, my biological daughter!” Shen Hai looked at Yuan Xiao lovingly. It could be seen that the father and daughter had a good relationship.
“Oh, the children raised by rich families are indeed different. They are so beautiful!” Shen Ling sized up Yuan Xiao. Her direct gaze made Yuan Xiao feel a little disgusted.
“Mom! I want this!” Jun Jun picked up the little bear on the sofa and shouted at Shen Ling.
“Child, can’t you see that I’m talking to your uncle? Ask your aunt for it!” Shen Ling frowned slightly, and there was a hint of calculation in her eyes as she looked at Yuan Xiao. “I heard that your assets in the Yuan Family previously exceeded hundreds of millions in yuan?”
Yuan Xiao chuckled. It seemed that the purpose of this relative’s visit was very clear. “It might be more than that, but it has nothing to do with me now!”
“What a pity. You have a tough life…” Shen Ling’s expression was exaggerated, as if she had lost hundreds of millions in yuan.
“Didn’t they give you more?” Shen Ling looked at Yuan Xiao and asked persistently.
“Ahem, come and eat!” Shen Hai was a little unhappy. He pulled Yuan Xiao to the dining table.
Shen Ling still wanted to say something, but she was stopped by the man who came with her. Zhou Wei pulled Shen Ling and said in a low voice, “Alright, let’s eat first. We’ll talk later.”
Feng Mei came out of the kitchen with the dishes. Yuan Xiao and Shen Hai went over to help. Shen Ling, Zhou Wei, and the rest of the family sat neatly at the dining table.
“Aunt, I want this bear!” Jun Jun raised the bear in his hand as if it was already his.
“T-this is Xiao Xiao’s…” Feng Mei was at a loss as she looked at Yuan Xiao.
Actually, this bear was useless to Yuan Xiao, but she did not think so now.
“It’s just a plush toy. It’s just a few yuan. What’s there to be troubled about? I’ll make the decision for you. Take it as a greeting gift for your cousin!” Shen Ling smiled and looked at Jun Jun, who was holding the little bear. There was a hint of smugness in her eyes.
