Translated Novels: YOUNG MASTER FU’S INCREDIBLE REAL HEIRESS
Chapter 194 Don’t You Know Why?
Shi Xuexin was unable to perform for her father on her birthday and ended up giving him this Chinese painting, so she was a little annoyed.
Fortunately, he finally managed to regain his confidence when everyone sang praises for him.
And sure enough, Shi Qing liked the painting. “Thank you, Xuexin. It was a thoughtful gift.”
Gu Qingqing glanced at Shi Xuexin's pine Chinese brush painting and felt she had some talent.
However, Gu Qingqing had reached this level of mastery when she was only 12 years old. Even though he received more praise than Shi Xuexin, he did not recall it at all. Hence, Gu Qingqing was unable to praise praise like the other guests.
If the memories were correct about Gu Qingqing, Master Liu might be Liu Xueyuan. He was a fellow painting artist with Gu Qingqing and his painting skills were at a level below Gu Qingqing. So in this case, it was not a glory to have been praised by Liu Xieyuan.
After all, Gu Qingqing could not continue to be a painter due to her husband's poor health. That was the main reason Liu Xueyuan was finally able to make a name for himself in his work.
Li Juekai also did not react when he saw the painting.
As Shi Xuexin saw their reactions, she felt they must have known nothing about Chinese paintings since they were from a small town. The same goes for Shi Jin. No matter how good the painting was, they were unable to appreciate it. They might not even have heard of Master Liu in their lives.
Chu Ling and Shi Xuexin had already handed their gifts to Shi Qing, so it was Shi Jin's turn now.
After all, Shi Qing had treated Shi Jin well while in the Shi family. Shi Qing and Old Master Shi were the only people in the clan who treated Shi Jin like family.
Shi Xuexin raised her chin and looked at Shi Jin. Everyone turned to look at Shi Jin as well.
Shi Jin of course did not come empty-handed. He immediately took out a fragrant bag and handed it to Shi Qing with both hands. “Uncle Qing, accept my gift. Happy birthday."
Shi Qing took the prize. He did not seem to like her at all as he said, "Thank you, Shi Jin."
“Try to wear it or place it under your pillow,” Shi Jin said.
"certain." Shi Qing received the reward.
Everyone secretly scoffed when they saw the scented bag and felt unimpressed by the gift. Sure enough, Shi Jin was from a small town. How could he give Shi Qing a scented bag on her birthday? From the looks of it, he must have bought it online at a cheap price even free shipping.
However, Shi Qing was kind enough to accept Shi Jin's gift without openly rejecting it.
Third Aunt immediately said, “Shi Jin, you are a famous artist now. I heard you won a lot of money when you were second place in the show. How could you give just Shi Qing such a gift on her birthday? Shouldn't you take the opportunity to show gratitude to your foster father for raising you?”
“Third Aunt, stop saying that. Shi Jin had always been a devoted child. Shi Jin had been staying at Shi's residence all this time because he could not bear to leave my parents behind, ”Shi Xuexin immediately defended Shi Jin.
Although it sounded like he was speaking up to defend Shi Jin, Shi Xuexin had actually accused Shi Jin of refusing to leave.
Third Aunt shook her head violently. “Xuexin, you're too good. How could Shi Jin stay because he could not bear to leave your parents behind? Can't you tell me why he's still around? Well, I can guess. Now, even her parents are here and feel comfortable with us. Don't you know why they're doing this? ”
Everyone quietly nodded in agreement. Judging from Li Juekai's appearance, he might need full-time medical attention. If Shi Jin could be close to the Shi family and they were in a generous mood, the Li family might be able to survive with just help from the Shi family.
Li Juekai and Gu Qingqing definitely knew how to work on their Mathematics!
They always knew Shi Jin was having a rough time when he was with the Shi family, but they did not know exactly how bad it was.
Gu Qingqing immediately wanted to defend Shi Jin. He didn't care if they wanted to attack him, but they couldn't do it to Shi Jin. She was Shi Jin's birth mother. How could he stand up and see everyone treating his daughter like this?
Shi Jin hurriedly pressed Gu Qingqing's hand and patted Li Juekai's shoulder and gestured for them to remain silent.
Although Li Juekai and Gu Qingqing were eager to help their daughter, they respected her decision, so they stopped and let Shi Jin do as he wished.
Shi Jin walked forward. She is a natural beauty that shines and attracts attention wherever she is.
Even Chu Ling could not help but stare at him like everyone else.
He looked at Third Aunt and asked gently, “Third Aunt, why do you think I still live here? Do you mind sharing a pointer or two? I of course don't know what you mean.”
"I ..." Third Aunt immediately stuttered as Shi Jin looked at her with bright firm eyes.
After all, Third Aunt was the older one, so she had seen her fair share of the family drama in her life.
He quickly calmed down. “This is no big deal. Our family is rich and famous. Even our servants have better facilities than the other family servants. No wonder you want to stay here and be close to us.”
“Third Aunt, you mean I deliberately refused to leave the Shi residence so that I could take advantage of the Shi family? Are you saying that I even involved my parents? ” asks Shi Jin rhetorically.
"That's how it is" replied the Third Aunt.
Everyone stared at Shi Jin understandingly.
Yu Xiuhua said, “Shi Jin was raised in the Shi family, so it is very normal for him to feel that way. The truth is, we don't want him to leave. ”
In reality, Yu Xiuhua could not wait for Shi Jin to leave. However, she had to continue pretending to be a mother who doted on Shi Jin.
Shi Jin nodded and smiled. "OKAY. Let's talk about this. Aunt Xiuhua, Xuexin, and I were each raised by the Li and Shi families for 12 years. Did something unfair happen? Or is there something we have to do now to redeem another family?”
"Of course not. There's no need for you to redeem anything. ” Yu Xiuhua hurriedly shook his head. In reality, the Shi family was considered new to high society, so Shi Jin could not enjoy life as long as he stayed in the Shi family.
Old Master Shi's eyes began to deteriorate at that moment and made some losses when he did business, so the Shi family was not fine. Shi Qing and Yu Xiuhua were busy trying to make up for the losses and did not pay much attention to Shi Jin. This was the main reason Yu Xiuhua and Shi Jin had never been close.
By the time Shi Xuexin returned to the Shi family, her finances had already stabilized.
Yu Xiuhua felt Shi Xuexin was bringing good luck to the family. Also, she is his real daughter. Therefore, he loved her more and more.
Moreover, Shi Xuexin had a much better life in the first 12 years of her life. Although she lives in a small town, she was raised to be quiet. Also, she gets a good academic education and has the freedom to pursue her interests.
Shi Xuexin and Yu Xiuhua felt Shi Xuexin was naturally talented and did not give any appreciation to the Li family.
