Novel Bin Chapter 33
“Hmph, alright, alright. Everyone says that rich people are stingy. This is indeed true.” As Shen Ling put on her shoes, she said to Feng Mei, “Sister-in-law, pack the remaining prawns for me. I think Jun Jun likes to eat them. I’ll have him bring them to school tomorrow.”
Feng Mei packed the food for her, and Shen Ling took another two cartons of milk before leaving in satisfaction.
Shen Hai and Feng Mei only heaved a sigh of relief when Shen Ling’s family left.
“Xiao Xiao, how can you give her the address of the Yuan Family? She will cause trouble!” Shen Hai was a little worried when he thought of Shen Ling’s unreasonable appearance.
“Don’t worry. She won’t be able to enter the high-end villa area where the Yuan Family lives.” Yuan Xiao sat back on the sofa and continued, “It’s fine even if she goes in. The Yuan Family aren’t people she can deal with just by throwing a tantrum!”
Yuan Xiao knew that although Yuan Ming usually looked kind and amiable, it was only to his family. Yuan Ming’s reputation in the business world had always been terrifying. He was shrewd and decisive, and he would definitely take revenge on those who had caused him trouble before. No one wanted to offend the Yuan Family.
“Xiao Xiao, this teddy bear is so meaningful. You have to keep it well.” Feng Mei picked up the little bear that Jun Jun had just thrown aside and handed it to Yuan Xiao.
“Mom, I’m just spouting nonsense. How could you believe what I said as a lie to a child?” Yuan Xiao smiled and took the bear. She glanced at the simple-minded Shen couple and was even more determined to protect them.
“This child is smart.” Shen Hai did not blame Yuan Xiao at all. Instead, he admired Yuan Xiao’s intelligence.
However, Feng Mei’s expression was a little serious. She said worriedly to Yuan Xiao, “Your aunt’s family is like this. Xiao Xiao, don’t take it to heart. These family matters shouldn’t affect you.”
“Don’t worry, Mom. I’ve never been one to cause trouble, but I definitely won’t be bullied!” Yuan Xiao’s eyes were firm. Not only could she not be bullied, but she also would not let anyone bully her parents.
“Good girl, your mother and I are getting better and better at our small restaurant. Our family’s life will also get better and better in the future!” Shen Hai patted Yuan Xiao’s shoulder, his eyes filled with relief.
“Okay, Dad, Mom. I’m going to sleep. You guys rest early too.” Yuan Xiao walked into the bedroom. During her break, she had gone to her parents’ restaurant. It seemed pretty good. Feng Mei’s cooking was very popular, but the renovation was a little too simple.
Yuan Xiao thought that the prize money for this competition could be used to exchange for some high-quality tables and chairs for the restaurant.
Yuan Xiao studied a few more piano tutorials and went to rest. She planned to find an opportunity to practice piano in school tomorrow.
The next morning, Yuan Xiao went to her office to look for Lu Liu.
“Teacher Lu, is there an unused piano in our school’s piano room?” Ever since the competition, Yuan Xiao had been a frequent visitor to Lu Liu’s office.
“I think so. After the school had a new music classroom, they bought a better piano. The previous piano has always been in the old music classroom.” After seeing Yuan Xiao in the amusement park, Lu Liu had always wanted to talk to her. Because he was preparing the final exam papers recently, he had not found the time.
“Then, Teacher Lu, can you help me get the keys to the old music classroom? I want to practice the piano when I have time.” Yuan Xiao was exceptionally obedient because she had a favor to ask.
“You know how to play the piano?” Lu Liu could not see through Yuan Xiao anymore. He did not expect this child to not only be good at studying, but also talented.
“A little, but I’m very interested.” Yuan Xiao glanced at Lu Liu and added, “Don’t worry, Teacher Lu. I won’t affect my studies. I just want to relax by playing the piano.”
“Oh, sure, but…” Lu Liu hesitated. Looking at Yuan Xiao’s expectant expression, he asked, “Have you seen Fang Yao recently?”
Yuan Xiao did not know why Lu Liu asked this. She thought that he still suspected that she was dating Fang Yao at a young age, so she explained, “I’ve been busy revising recently, so we haven’t contacted each other much. We’ve only met a few times in school.”
Yuan Xiao was not lying. Ever since they separated from the amusement park last time, Yuan Xiao felt that Fang Yao was deliberately avoiding her.
Yuan Xiao did not know how to face Fang Yao, so she simply let him be. After all, her priority now was to study.
“Then find some time to practice. I’ll help you get a spare key.” Lu Liu thought for a moment and did not plan to tell Yuan Xiao that Fang Yao was also practicing the piano in the old classroom.
It was better to let them develop freely. Excessive obstruction might stimulate the child’s rebellion. Besides, Lu Liu was very assured of Yuan Xiao. After all, this child was very sensible and knew her limits.
“Thank you, Teacher!” Yuan Xiao was very happy. The problem of the piano had finally been resolved.
