Qi Yunduo continued, “You gotta treat him well!”
“I will.” Xu Jiaojiao’s tone was obedient but also determined.
Although she did not know what Qi Shenbai had experienced previously, she would definitely treat him well. She would make him happy.
Xu Jiaojiao and Qi Yunduo changed their clothes and went downstairs. Qi Shenbai was already sitting at the dining table drinking milk. Xu Jiaojiao casually sat at the dining table and ate as usual, but Qi Yunduo was a little uneasy.
Qi Shenbai had given Xu Jiaojiao almost all of his gentleness and tenderness, so even when he looked at his younger sister, he had a cool expression on his face.
“Butler, prepare a room for Yunduo.” Qi Shenbai still wore the same indifferent expression.
“Brother, can 1 stay here now?” Qi Yunduo was pleasantly surprised.
“Sure. When you’re free, you can come over and accompany Jiaojiao.” Although Qi Shenbai did not like people from the Qi family coming here, Jiaojiao did not have many friends. In addition, he was very busy with work and could not accompany her often. She also liked Yunduo so much, so he made an exception for Jiaojiao.
Qi Yunduo knew that it was because of Xu Jiaojiao that she could come here, but she was not too perturbed by it. Instead, she was happy. “Okay, then I’ll come over often to play with my sister-in-law!”
After dinner, Xu Jiaojiao and Qi Yunduo went to school arm-in-arm. Qi Shenbai had originally wanted to send Xu Jiaojiao to school, but it seemed like she did not need his help anymore.
The butler watched from the side and could not help but sigh. “Madam Jiaojiao and Miss Yunduo get along so well.”
When Qi Shenbai heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.
When they arrived at school, Mr. Sun called Xu Jiaojiao to her office.
“Are you looking for me, sir?” Xu Jiaojiao cheerfully walked into the office and stood in front of Mr. Sun.
Mr. Sun waved his hand. “Take a seat first.”
“Okay!” Xu Jiaojiao obediently sat down and looked at Mr. Sun with her big, bright eyes.
“After the competition, someone took a fancy to your painting and wanted to buy it. The offer was decent, so I came to discuss it with you. I know you were painting your grandma, so this painting must be very important to you. That’s why 1 wanted to ask for your opinion.” Mr. Sun was afraid that Xu Jiaojiao was not willing to sell a portrait of her grandmother.
“I have no objections. If someone is willing to buy it, 1 can sell it.” Xu Jiaojiao agreed readily.
“I thought you wouldn’t want to sell it!” Mr. Sun was pleasantly surprised.
“Why wouldn’t 1? 1 draw paintings for others to see. If someone likes my painting, it proves that 1 did well. I’m willing to sell the painting, but 1 don’t know anything about contracts. 1’11 have to trouble you for advice, Mr. Sun.”
Xu Jiaojiao was very sure what she wanted, unlike some artists who were pretentious.
“Alright, leave it to me.” Mr. Sun agreed readily.
“If there’s nothing else, 1’11 leave first.”
“Sure thing!” Mr. Sun nodded.
After leaving the office, Xu Jiaojiao was in high spirits, so she took out her phone and sent Qi Shenbai a WeChat message.
Jiaojiao: [Someone wants to buy my painting. The price is pretty decent. Tell me, what do you want me to buy for you as a gift?]
Qi Shenbai: [Congratulations… 1 want you.]
Jiaojiao: [Tsk! I’m going to class now.]
Qi Shenbai had everything he wanted, so he would not think too much of her gift. Pouting, she turned her phone to silent mode and walked toward the classroom.
Qi Shenbai: [You’re the gift I want the most.]
After school, Xu Jiaojiao asked Su Luo and Qi Yunduo to go gift shopping with her. Of course, she would buy them gifts too.
Su Luo did not want anything, so she just chose a phone pendant. Qi Yun chose a necklace. It was not expensive, but it was exquisite and beautiful.
Xu Jiaojiao did not forget to choose one for her grandmother. After she parted ways with Su Luo and Qi Yunduo, she went to the hospital alone.
When she arrived at the hospital, her grandma was about to eat. When the old lady saw Jiaojiao, she was pleasantly surprised. “Jiaojiao, why are you here?” Grandma jumped out of bed to hug her.
“Because I miss you, of course!” Xu Jiaojiao said as she sat down at the table.
“Have you eaten? If you haven’t, I’ll get them to bring us a few more dishes.” Old Madam Xu was overjoyed to see her most beloved granddaughter.
“There’s no need! 1 bought food!” Xu Jiaojiao said as she raised the takeout. “Let’s eat something good today, but don’t tell Dad and Mom,” Xu Jiaojiao reminded her grandmother.
Before she bought the takeout, she had asked the doctor. It was all food her grandmother could eat.
“You smart little brat, come over and give me a hug.” Old Madam Xu waved at Xu Jiaojiao.
Xu Jiaojiao came to her side and snuggled in her arms. It was a wonderful feeling. She even told her grandmother about the competition and passed the gift to her.
Grandma looked at the gift in her hand, and her eyes could not help but become misty. “What are you buying these for? It’s a waste of money. 1 have everything I need here..”
