Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Sister Ca Ho! Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Sister Ca Ho! The vermilion door, valued at three million, swung open as Shen Shaojia, wearing a white lab coat, set down her suitcase.
“Mom, Dad, Brother, and Little Sister, I’m back.”
Zuo Wanjun darted over, grabbing Shen Shaojia’s hand. She examined her as thoroughly and carefully as she had Qingwu earlier, her heart aching terribly.
“Shaojia, why are you even thinner? Is the food in Qingshan County still no good? Mom prepared bird’s nest and ginseng for you to nourish yourself.”
Shen Shaojia shook her head, “No need, I’m fine.”
She turned, her gaze locked onto Qingwu, who was surrounded by the four sons of the Shen family.
The young girl standing before her was graceful and elegant, her small face bearing a striking resemblance to Zuo Wanjun, yet her eyes carried the sharp authority of Elder Shen. This contrast made her seem like a rare orchid in a secluded valley, exceptionally beautiful.
Shen Shaojia silently admired her; indeed, her sister was unmistakably a daughter of the Shen family, looking so breathtakingly pretty!
“Hello, I am Shen Shaojia, and this is my gift for you.”
Shen Shaojia took out a small box from the side of her suitcase, revealing a colorful feather hairpin. Each feather shimred under the light like gold, with an enchanting glow as dazzling as diamonds.
“This was refined from my experintal materials; it’s not valuable, but if you don’t like it, that’s fine…”
After all, her experintal materials consisted of tens of thousands of chickens.
Upon learning that this hairpin was made from those chickens, Shen Yurou took a big step back.
“Sister Shaojia, it’s one thing for you to enjoy research, but how could you bring sothing like this directly back ho? It’s so dirty!”
Qingwu was sowhat surprised.
She was aware of this hairpin. A month ago, Research Institute No. 3 in Qingshan County reportedly developed an experintal product closely resembling chicken species from three thousand years ago, Vermilion Bird No. 6.
The No. 3 Research Institute was an SS-level confidential project among all the research institute projects in Hua Country. She had not expected Shen Shaojia to be the head of No. 3 Research Institute!
The chicken feather hairpin in front of her wasn’t sothing whose value could be asured in money. It represented a major advancent in human research, with far-reaching implications for the developnt of various fields in Hua Country!
Qingwu accepted the hairpin, “Thank you, Sister, I really like it, but it is too precious; is it appropriate?”
The inappropriateness she ntioned referred to the nurous procedures likely required for such a hairpin to leave the research institute.
Shen Yurou pouted.
Obviously, she was a bumpkin who had never seen the world. To her, even a chicken feather hairpin was a treasure.
A country bumpkin indeed.
For the first ti, a smile appeared on Shen Shaojia’s face. Her slender fra, along with the elegant short hair tucked behind her ears, revealed two small dimples on her graceful face.
Her sister had just called her Sister!
Sure enough, sisters were the loveliest and gentlest beings!
“I’m glad you like it, the procedures aren’t important. If it weren’t so inconvenient for to go through all the procedures to get out, I would’ve welcod you ho myself the day you arrived. It’s such a hassle; I’ll definitely blow up the research institute eventually and strive to get ho every day!”
Qingwu: “…”
Blowing up the research institute was certainly not necessary.
Getting out once wasn’t easy; each ti, she was accompanied by more than a dozen special forces soldiers ready to ensure Shen Shaojia’s safety. Even Elder Shen needed to submit a report to et her, and all the back-and-forth made Shen Shaojia feel so annoyed that she decided not to co ho.
Unable to resist, Shen Shaojia stepped forward and hugged Qingwu.
Ah! Her sister slled so nice! Completely different from those brothers who looked like they slled!
The four sons of the Shen family watched her with resentnt and jealousy.
They wanted to hug their sister too!
Unfortunately, fearing she’d get angry, they could only ruffle the fluff on her head and watch Shen Shaojia cling to Qingwu endlessly.
Shen Yurou: “…”
Was Shen Shaojia crazy? She was actually hugging that country bumpkin!
Definitely because she had stayed in the mountains too long and picked up so rustic habits. Clearly, Shen Yurou was the most beautiful and elegant daughter of the Shen family.
“Sister Shaojia, I have sothing to discuss with you.”
Shen Shaojia released Qingwu and looked at Shen Yurou: “Why are you still dressed so poorly? Those in the know would say you prefer rustic style, while those who don’t would think you co from the urban-rural fringe as a disco girl, don’t be an eyesore, go take care of Grandma.”
Shen Yurou was almost in tears!
She grabbed Shen Shaojia’s sleeve: “Sister Shaojia, I really have sothing very important to tell you.”
Shen Shaojia was so irritated, Shen Yurou had no sense of the situation and kept disrupting her and her sister’s bonding ti.
“Fine, co to the study with .”
Each child in the Shen family had their independent study, and Shen Dongli and Zuo Wanjun never interfered with their matters, letting them develop freely.
In the study, no sooner had Shen Yurou entered than she began to sob while pulling on Shen Shaojia.
“Sister Shaojia, don’t be deceived by Qingwu, she’s a cunning green tea. On the first day back, she purposefully dressed in tattered clothes to make Mom, Dad, and Brothers feel guilty. Today, she was even pulling and shoving with several n by the roadside…”
“We’re the true Shen family daughters. She will definitely take everything from you and leave you with nothing!”
“Sister Shaojia, you should be the daughter of the Shen family. Why give all your things to soone else?”
“You can’t do this. We should team up to kick Qingwu out. Having a daughter like her only brings sha to the Shen family. Grandma was made ill by her and is still lying in the hospital.”
To validate her words, she even showed a video on her phone of Mrs. Shen in the hospital.
In the video, Mrs. Shen appeared full of energy, consuming several oranges in a row, showing no signs of illness whatsoever.
Shen Shaojia raised an eyebrow, acting as if serious: “Grandma looks like she’s got a healthy appetite. At her age, she shouldn’t eat such sweet things. How are you taking care of Grandma? And those little cakes, are they really suitable for soone her age?”
Shen Yurou: “…”
Those items were specifically bought to appear filial to Mrs. Shen!
After all, Mrs. Shen enjoyed them very much. Why did Shen Shaojia, who hasn’t been around Grandma, have the right to question her?
“Grandma got sick from being angry at Qingwu! Sister Shaojia, didn’t you hear what I said? As soon as she ca back, she took Mom’s Purple Crystal and even forbade the kitchen from cooking with scallions and ginger!”
Shen Shaojia nodded: “Oh, Qingwu doesn’t like scallions and ginger, huh? You say she likes the Purple Crystal? I have a set right here; I’ll give it to her later!”
Finally, she knew what her sister liked!
Shen Yurou: “…”
Why!
From childhood to adulthood, Shen Shaojia never cared for her, always disdained her for being too stupid, for not doing well in school, in third grade even failed to solve calculus. She thought she was ugly and embarrassing and never took her along.
Why now be so kind to Qingwu?
She must’ve realized she wasn’t the daughter of the Shen family and purposefully fawning over Qingwu to stay!
Shen Shaojia happily went to find the Purple Crystal, “Close the door when you leave; I’m going to give the Purple Crystal to Qingwu.”
Shen Yurou glared at Shen Shaojia’s back, her gaze suddenly landed on the just-opened laptop…
Half an hour later.
Qingwu looked at the entire set of premium quality Violet Crystal before her, a bit surprised.
She rembered unearthing this set at a stone gambling fair a couple of years ago, with an auction price of a hundred million. She didn’t expect the Shen family had bought it for Shen Shaojia.
Shen Shaojia rubbed her hands, watching Qingwu with anticipation: “Sister, I heard you like Purple Crystal. This was the gift my parents gave upon my doctorate graduation two years ago, and now it’s yours!”
After thinking it over, she found the Vermilion Bird Hairpin too trivial.
It’s better to gift sothing substantial!
“Thank you, Sister.”
Shen Shaojia bead with happiness even more than when her experintal data had a breakthrough.
Seeing them getting along so well, the Shen family parents showed gratified smiles.
They had known it; Shaojia, their personally nurtured daughter, would certainly cherish Qingwu just as they did!
