Chapter 590: No Wonder Chi Jiao Didn’t Like Her Gift
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chi Jiao and Quan Jue walked around the courtyard for half an hour before he urged her to return to her room to shower and sleep.
He used the same old reasoning.
Children wouldn’t grow taller if they stayed up late.
Chi Jiao returned to her room and took a shower. After changing into her pajamas, she suddenly remembered that Shen Xing was still watching television in the living room downstairs.
During the few days that Shen Xing had been staying at her house, it had behaved rather obediently. But it just loved to watch television and eat snacks a little too much.
It was probably because it still had the nature of a child.
Chi Jiao had just arrived at the living room when she heard Shen Xing laughing.
It was sprawled on the sofa with an exaggerated smile. There were all sorts of chips and cola on the coffee table.
“Shen Xing.” Chi Jiao suddenly called out from behind the sofa.
Shen Xing didn’t notice that Chi Jiao had come over. Caught off guard and giving a start, it suddenly sat up from the sofa.
“It’s time to sleep. You’re not allowed to watch television anymore,” Chi Jiao said.
“I don’t need to sleep,” Shen Xing said.
It only looked like a human on the outside, but it was no longer human on the inside.
“I’ve already said that since you’re staying in this house, you have to learn to live like a normal person. Which normal person would be as energetic as you after not sleeping for three days and three nights? Hurry up and go to sleep!”
Hearing Chi Jiao’s harsh tone, Shen Xing did not dare to waste any more time. It immediately got off the sofa and ran towards its room.
After Shen Xing returned to its room, Chi Jiao tidied up the messy coffee table and was about to return to her room to sleep when she heard the door open.
She turned toward it.
Auntie Zhou appeared in front of her with Zhou Sisi.
Zhou Sisi was holding Auntie Zhou’s arm intimately and chatting with her. However, when she saw Chi Jiao standing in the living room, the smile on her face froze.
She stopped in her tracks and looked at Chi Jiao in a daze.
Auntie Zhou didn’t notice Zhou Sisi’s abnormal behavior. She quickened her pace and walked up to Chi Jiao. She smiled and said, “Miss, it’s already so late. Why aren’t you asleep? Don’t you have school tomorrow?”
“I was just about to sleep.” Chi Jiao turned away from Zhou Sisi and looked at Auntie Zhou.
Auntie Zhou turned around and looked at Zhou Sisi. Seeing that she was standing rooted to the ground in a daze, she said awkwardly, “This is my daughter, Zhou Sisi. I’ve mentioned her to First Miss before.”
Zhou Sisi’s heart skipped a beat.
So her mother had already told Chi Jiao about her.
“Sisi, come and greet First Miss. You should know her. You’re classmates,” Auntie Zhou said.
Zhou Sisi suddenly clenched her fists.
So Chi Jiao already knew who her mother was!
Chi Jiao had helped her not out of friendship.
She only helped her because her mother was the maid in this house!
No wonder Chi Jiao didn’t like her gift. She was a rich young lady, so how could she like a gift from the daughter of a maid?
With this thought in mind, Zhou Sisi lowered her eyes to hide the conflicted look in them. She slowly walked up to Chi Jiao. “Classmate Chi Jiao.”
Her greeting was as soft as the buzzing of a mosquito.
Auntie Zhou felt exasperated when she saw her cowering.
Chi Jiao didn’t care much. She smiled and said, “It’s getting late. Auntie Zhou, bring Sisi back to the room to rest. Goodnight.”
With that, she turned and left.
