Fenfen was discharged from the hospital, and a long row of fireworks were placed in the yard, waiting to be set off at nightfall.
Only Ji Anning understood him; he wasn’t celebrating Fenfen’s successful corneal surgery, but using this gesture to show everyone his determination.
Be it relatives, friends, or social opinion, none can suppress his resolve.
The kitchen was busy all afternoon, resulting in a table full of sumptuous dishes.
Outside, only Qi Helian and Xiang Yiqing were invited, and no one else was present.
Two afternoons ago, Qi Helian left the film set on a whim and returned to Hai City. He was idle both yesterday and today, and arrived at the Ji Family early.
He has to film early tomorrow, so after dinner, he still needs to catch a flight.
Leaning lazily on the sofa, he played with toys with Fenfen.
Ti passed by the minute, as he looked up again, the sky outside gradually darkened, about to turn night. He frowned at Ji Chicheng, who was sitting on a small sofa alone, working on a tablet.
"Why isn’t Xiang Yiqing here yet?"
Ji Chicheng didn’t reply to him. He smiled with interest and said, "He even ntioned he’d bring soone along, wonder if it’s a male or female."
"Is Uncle Xiang bringing a puppy?"
Fenfen raised her head, curiously asking Xiang Yiqing.
Xiang Yiqing smiled and patted her head, "You’ll know when Uncle Xiang arrives."
Just then, the butler’s voice ca from the door.
"The madam and the elder and young miss have returned."
Before the butler’s words died down, Lin Yanqin and her daughters had already walked into the living room, each carrying large bags.
Lin Yanqin walked in first, wearing brightly colored clothes. Upon entering the living room, her gaze first landed on Fenfen, "Our Fenfen is back."
She walked enthusiastically towards Fenfen, thoroughly warm-hearted.
Ji Chicheng lifted his eyelids, observing Lin Yanqin’s movents.
Lin Yanqin reached the edge of the sofa and sat on the other side of Fenfen, lifting a white paper box from her hands, handing it to Fenfen, "This is a gift from Grand Aunt, do you like it?"
In Fenfen’s view, the three of them left a bad impression, so she didn’t feel much for Lin Yanqin’s gift.
She just glimpsed at the bag and had no desire to know what was inside, then bowed her head, continuing to have Qi Helian play toys with her.
Ignored by the little girl, a hint of resentnt flashed in Lin Yanqin’s eyes, then she subtly turned to Ji Chicheng, "Chicheng, where’s Anning?"
Ji Ruoqian followed up, "Yes, uncle, where’s my cousin?"
Lin Yanqin deliberately glared at her, sternly instructing, "Move aside, stop interrupting."
Ji Ruoqian, though usually unrestrained when starting to speak, paid no heed to Lin Yanqin’s false reprimand, continuing sardonically, "I wonder if my grandfather, knowing his grandson has turned into a granddaughter, would be happy in heaven."
"If you co back with so much nonsense, then don’t co back ever again."
Ji Mingyue suddenly appeared at the stairway on the second floor, angrily warning the unfiltered Ji Ruoqian.
Ji Ruoqian promptly put on a smile, approaching, "Aunt, why the big fuss, we’re your own nieces after all, you can’t play favorites."
Ji Mingyue wished she could smash Ji Ruoqian with her phone.
Seeing her approach, she ignored her, turning to enter her room.
Ji Ruoqian noticed, stopped halfway up the stairs, and turned back.
