Chapter 289 Xixi, Are You Testing Me Today?

It is very common for children to throw tantrums. Shang Jianghan then walked over and picked him up.

"What do you want? Tell Dad."

The little guy didn't dare to act recklessly because his father, who was much stronger than him, held him and pointed at the plate of shrimps.

"You want flowers, sister is bad!"

It means that my sister destroyed the flowers.

When the aunt heard the noise, she rushed over and immediately ordered the kitchen to make another one.

This matter is over.

Shang Jiangyu felt a little hesitant and regretted not keeping an eye on Niu Niu.

After coaxing the little girl, Shen Chaoxi went to Niu Niu and picked up a few shrimps for her.

"Niuniu, good girl. Your aunt is here to apologize to you on behalf of your brother. Since your brother is young and ignorant, please don't bother with him. Your aunt will give you a big red envelope later, okay?"

Niu Niu nodded and held back her tears.

"I'm not angry, thank you, Third Aunt!"

Shen Chaoxi suddenly felt sad. A child who was only five years old was actually learning to read people's expressions.

Even though Shangluo is now an elementary school student, he still gets upset sometimes, but Niu Niu doesn't dare to act recklessly because of the environment she grew up in.

"Don't say that, sister-in-law. It's Niuniu's hands that are too quick!" Shang Jiangyu explained immediately.

Shen Chaoxi disagreed with her opinion and shook his head slightly.

"Jiang Yu, it doesn't matter if we adults can tolerate grievances, but children's sense of right and wrong must be established from an early age. Niuniu is right, and we must not let children suffer grievances."

The meal was quite pleasant, and the children's noise was just a minor episode.

After dinner, Shen Chaoxi took Shang Zhuoming to the second floor for a nap, and asked his aunt to arrange a room for Niu Niu as well.

Five-year-old children also need a nap at noon.

The temperature at home was high, so Niu Niu took off her thick sweater in the audio-visual room and put on small autumn clothes.

Shen Chaoxi found a set of home clothes that he hadn't worn yet from his closet and gave it to Shang Jiangyu.

"Take Niuniu to a nap. We'll play cards at home in the afternoon. The temperature inside is high. You can change into this outfit. I've never worn it before, so don't be disgusted."

Not all of Shen Chaoxi’s clothes are brand name. Sometimes when she goes shopping in the mall, she likes to buy some popular brands which are comfortable and casual to wear.

Shang Jiangyu wanted to refuse, but Shen Chaoxi didn't give her a chance and asked her aunt to take Niuniu, who was already yawning, to the guest room.

After Shen Chaoxi coaxed the little one to sleep, he went downstairs and closed the custom guardrail at the stairwell. He saw several people in the living room had already started building the Great Wall.

Shen Chaoxi went to the kitchen, cut a few plates of fruit and brought them over, scolding.

"You didn't even invite me to play cards!"

The eldest sister-in-law just touched the white board in her hand, but she played it uselessly, and Bai Jinyu on the opposite side called for a touch.

"See, now you know why I didn't invite you. If you come to the table, our wallets will be full today, but we will leave with empty wallets. We haven't even started eating yet, and Second Aunt has already run into us. All the money will go to your house if it grows eyes and feet!"

The sister-in-law rarely joked like this. Shen Chaoxi knew that she was just trying to liven up the atmosphere and not make Jiang Yu too embarrassed.

Shen Chaoxi snorted.

"Oh! Look at what my sister-in-law said. I don't agree with that!"

Qiao Huihui leaned sideways and took a piece of cantaloupe, took a bite and praised it for being sweet, then pushed the plate towards Jiang Yu and turned to ask Shen Chaoxi.

"Why don't you agree?"

Shen Chaoxi swore solemnly and pointed at the pile of chips on the table.

"Sister-in-law is old-fashioned. No one carries cash when going out these days. People pay with their mobile phones. Big brother and second brother got a lot of dividends before the New Year. Are you afraid that I will sit down and win it back?"

After saying that, Gu Wenmin and Qiao Huihui looked at Bai Jinyu at the same time. At the beginning, it was their second aunt who was most opposed to the first house holding Lianzhong shares. At this time, no one could figure out Bai Jinyu's attitude.

Shen Chaoxi pointed this out, and although it was unintentional, there was an element of temptation in his words.

No one knows, although Bai Jinyu seems kind now, where her bottom line is.

Bai Jinyu was being stared at by the two men, so she just looked up and smiled faintly.

"Why are you all looking at me? Shouldn't you be on guard against this clever guy in my family who might swindle your money away?"

There was a moment of stagnation in the air, and no one knew how to respond.

Qiao Huihui smiled and said, "Then why don't we let her sit at the table and have her serve us tea and water in the afternoon? Is that ok?"

Everyone at the table chatted and laughed until Shang Zhuoming woke up.

The first thing this little devil did after waking up was to build a house with mahjong tiles, completely disrupting the game.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Shang Jiangyu wanted to take Niuniu away.

Shen Chaoxi originally wanted to let the mother and daughter live in his home, but after thinking about it, he realized that there was a gap in their relationship after all.

Sure enough, Shang Jiangan had already made arrangements.

"Tomorrow I'll have someone clean up the house in the Beijing University staff quarters. You and the child can stay there first. Don't worry about your mother. Since her family knows about it, there's no point in letting her be bullied. We'll discuss the future after the New Year."

Shang Qichao also said: "Everything will be arranged by your eldest brother. I won't let you suffer any more injustice."

Shang Jiangyu turned sideways and wiped the corners of her eyes. She wanted to cry but held it back. She didn't expect to be treated well before she came.

A man in the Shangri-La family can only marry one wife in his lifetime. She and her mother are exceptions and are also the products of rebellion. She is not sure whether the Shangri-La family will accept her.

The gap between her return and now is too big, and she needs to digest it well.

Shang Jianghan asked the driver to take the mother and daughter back to the hotel.

Back in the car, Niu Niu took out a few red envelopes from a big bag of snacks.

"Where did it come from?" Shang Jiangyu was shocked. The villa on Chongyuan Road was too luxurious, and the whole family was rich. There were even many valuable items displayed on the surface. She was worried that Niu Niu might have taken it casually.

"It's a New Year's red envelope given by my aunt and grandmother." Niu Niu saw that her mother's face was nervous and she was also infected.

Shang Jiangyu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. Shen Chaoxi had said that he would give the child a big red envelope, and she thought it was just a casual remark to make the child happy, but she didn't expect that the whole family had prepared red envelopes.

Shang Jiangyu opened several red envelopes and estimated that there was at least 5,000 yuan in each one. She also knew why they chose to secretly give them to the children.

Shang Jiangyu came empty-handed. When he bought the plane ticket back home, he had little money left. He chose the cheapest hotel in the suburbs and had no extra money to exchange red envelopes with the children.

The sisters-in-law must have thought of this and just wanted to avoid embarrassing her.

Shang Jiangyu couldn't help but curl his lips when he thought about being respected everywhere on this day.

It seems that it is right to come back, only by coming back can there be hope of living a good life!

At the Chongyuan Road villa area, after seeing off the eldest and second brothers’ families, Shang Qichao and Bai Jinyu decided to stay overnight.

During dinner, when talking about Shang Jiangyu, I couldn't help but sigh.

Suddenly, the topic changed and Bai Jinyu looked at Shen Chaoxi.

"Xixi, are you testing me today? The eldest and second brothers took the shares of Lianzhong. Do you want to know my attitude?"

Shen Chaoxi was suddenly asked a question and a chopstick in his hand fell to the ground with a click.

Several people were stunned. They still clearly remembered Bai Jinyu's original state and were not sure about her intention in asking the question.

"Mom, you..." Shang Jianghan's first reaction was naturally to protect her.

If Bai Jinyu was still the eldest daughter of the Bai family, he wouldn't mind sending her abroad again.

Bai Jinyu obviously didn't expect that his words would cause such a great shock.

"I'm just asking, are you scared?"
