Shen Xi was speechless watching as Jiang Yin entered her house as bold as brass. Whose house was it anyway!
Oh, no! She seemed to have hit the wall and messed with the wrong person.
Hearing someone talking at the door, Yun Jinping came out to find a gorgeous lady of mixed parentage. She did not have a chance to say anything at all.
“You must be Xixi’s mother, Sister. I’m her teacher, Jiang Yin.” Jiang Yin pulled a quick one and smiled brightly. “It’s abrupt of me to visit before calling.”
“Not at all, not at all.” Yun Jinping looked at the beautiful lady before turning to her daughter with a long face. Yun Jinping gave Shen Xi a wink, asking in silence what was going on and what teacher was she talking about.
Shen Xi shrugged and sighed. Truth be told, she had no idea herself!
She had seen people going to great lengths to become an apprentice to a teacher, but it was her first time witnessing someone insist on taking in a student.
“Dear Sister, this is Xixi’s trophy which I collected on behalf of her. Please keep it safe.” Jiang Yin opened the exquisite-looking gift box to reveal a beautiful trophy inside. This was the first place trophy from the design competition.
“Sorry to trouble you.” Yun Jinping smiled warmly, overjoyed yet bewildered after recognizing that it was Jiang Yin. “Look at this child. She never told me about this and I haven’t got anything prepared.”
“There’s no need to prepare anything. We’re family after all.” Jiang Yin really made herself at home, using the intimate term ‘sister’ on Yun Jinping.
Not only did she call Yun Jinping with a term of endearment, Jiang Yin had no qualms ordering Shen Xi about.
Bringing out two glasses of juice, Shen Xi threw her new teacher a sour look. This lady sure knew how to help herself. People would think that she actually lived here!
Hot with emotions, Yun Jinping was at a loss for words. “What did our Xixi do to deserve you? We’ll be in your care from now on.”
No wonder there was a sense of familiarity from her face and name. The person before her was her favorite editor from Skyway magazine — Jiang Yin.
Her daughter sure was something, to have China’s top fashion stylist, Ms. Jiang Yin as her teacher. She had no words to thank Ms. Jiang.
“Xixi has a creative mind. Sister, just address me by my name or call me sister. There’s no need for formalities.” Jiang Yin took a glance at the young lady who was peeling the apple, wondering to herself if the mom knew how awesome her daughter was.
Jiang Yin was conscious that there was no way in hell the girl would accept her as a teacher had Shen Xi not initially claimed to be her student.
Shu Baiyu nagged her, saying that she found a young talent but the person refused to be her student. What a pity.
Jiang Yin was prepared to show off her student to Shu Baiyu at a later date, just to get on her nerves. This was payback for parading and boasting about Guan Yue every single day in the past!
“Ms. Jiang.” Shen Xi handed over the peeled apple with a smile.
Jiang Yin swept a glance at her. “What did you call me?”
Shen Xi forced a smile. “Teacher, here’s your apple.”
Jiang Yin blissfully grinned at the fact that she could teach the child a thing or two. Taking the apple given by Shen Xi, she offered it to Yun Jinping instead. “I heard that you like apples. I was gifted a few boxes of apples from Xixia. I’ll send them over tomorrow.”
The term “Ms. Jiang” was reserved for others while “Teacher” was exclusively for Shen Xi!
It was Yun Jinping’s first experience of being in a close encounter with a huge figure who was warm, approachable, and not to mention, nice.
