Aunt Chen imdiately welcod Bai Yuejie inside and suddenly noticed the gift she was carrying. She laughed, "It’s enough that you ca. You’re not a stranger, always bringing gifts when you always visit."
Bai Yuejie smiled very appropriately, "I haven’t seen Shi i in a long ti, and also Grandma Shi and Grandpa Shi, so I brought so little gifts."
Grandma Shi, who didn’t know how to be polite, was very happy to hear what Bai Yuejie said. "Yuejie seems to be getting more and more beautiful. Your complexion looks much better than before."
Upon hearing Grandma Shi, a joyful expression appeared on Bai Yuejie’s face, and she shyly smiled, delighted, "Really? Thank you, Grandma Shi."
"Eh, not really," Shi i tilted her head, her voice soft and delicate. "I think Sister Bai’s makeup is too thick. There’s too much powder on her face, and too much blush—it looks so ugly!"
Bai Yuejie’s joyful smile stiffened slightly.
Aunt Chen pulled Shi i aside and whispered, "How can you speak like that? It’s impolite!"
Shi i pouted, looking pitiful, "But it’s true. Sister Bai isn’t as pretty as she used to be. She always looked so beautiful before, and now her face doesn’t have the sa fullness—it looks bad."
This ti, Bai Yuejie really couldn’t smile.
The smile froze on her face, and Bai Yuejie felt her chest tighten. She subconsciously touched her face and bit her lower lip.
No woman likes to be told she has gotten uglier, and Bai Yuejie was no exception.
Out of sight, a hint of resentnt flashed through Bai Yuejie’s eyes.
Grandma Shi nudged Shi i lightly and said, "Nonsense, your Sister Bai looks very pretty, better dressed than you."
Shi i secretly snickered.
If they can’t praise the looks, they start praising the clothes.
But it was indeed beautiful.
Bai Yuejie wore a long coat today, with a layer of beautiful gauze on the outside, making her appear very elegant. From a distance, she looked like a fairy.
Shi i puffed up her cheeks, "Humph, I want a floating dress too!"
"Alright, alright, eat up and later we can go shopping," Aunt Chen quickly served her more porridge, "and then dress up pretty. Your husband will like that too."
Shi i was half-convinced, "Really?"
"Really."
"Then, since Sister Bai’s dress is so pretty, will her husband also like it?"
Aunt Chen was stumped by the question, not knowing how to answer for a mont.
Shi i picked up her bowl and muttered, "He won’t, though. I asked my husband, and he said he doesn’t like the way Sister Bai dresses. He likes it like Little Shii, hee hee hee!"
With that, she lowered her head to drink her porridge, wearing a happy smile like an innocent child.
Bai Yuejie, on the other hand, was on the verge of losing her composure.
Her expression grew worse.
Aunt Chen quickly explained, "Miss Bai, don’t mind it, children say the darnedest things, and you know Shi i... she’s just immature."
Bai Yuejie forced a smile, "I understand."
"Shi i understands!" Shi i hugged her bowl, "I can now recite the multiplication tables and know my ABCDEFG, and ONE, two..."
"Just eat, talk less," Grandma Shi stuffed a bun into her mouth, "If you keep babbling, we won’t take you shopping later."
Shi i looked sullen.
Grandma Shi then turned to Bai Yuejie, "Do you have sothing to do later, Yuejie? Why not join us for a walk?"
Bai Yuejie was about to decline when she heard Shi i, with a belly full of food, muttered vaguely, "Mmm, let’s all go together. I want to buy a floaty dress too, I want to be as pretty as Sister Bai, I also want to be a little fairy!"
Bai Yuejie’s expression finally eased, "Alright then."
