Chapter 36 - Best Gift For Them

The members of the Jing family almost laughed out loud because of Mo Xi's response. In fact, they don't really like Shen Yu Ning because, from all the years of experience in looking at people, they could tell that Shen Yu Ning was pretending to be nice to them. However, because Jing Mo Chen didn't have any girlfriend and the Xiao family was a not bad choice, they decided to let them try out. They closed one eye because at least Shen Yu Ning's true personality could not be easily seen by others due to her skills in pretending, unlike other people who couldn't even pretend properly. Seeing how Mo Xi was able to render Shen Yu Ning speechless, they were extremely happy. Moreover, what Mo Xi said was true, it wasn't respectful to investigate someone's background or likes without their permission. It may seem nice that the person is very thoughtful, but at the same time, it just shows that the person doesn't respect the other person. Furthermore, Mo Xi was indeed the best gift for them.

"Oh… But you should at least bring something here." Shen Yu Ning argued.

"Rather than buying something that they might not like, I think it would be best for me to come here and interact with them. Only after I interact with them will I know what they truly like, then I can bring things that they like from the bottom of their heart."

Shen Yu Ning was rendered speechless again. She purposely came here so that she can put down Mo Xi, but she didn't know that Mo Xi was this good at rebutting her.

"That's true! Because I know them since I was young, I managed to buy gifts for them!"

Shen Yu Ning wanted to show how close she was with the Jing family; however, Mo XI wasn't at all surprised by her words.

"Mm, thank you." Mo Xi answered casually as though Shen Yu Ning was the outsider and Mo Xi was part of the family.

Jing Mo Chen chuckled at Mo Xi's response and held Mo Xi's hands tightly to tell her that she did well.

"Little Xi you haven't said why you are only in high school when you are already twenty-two?" Yang Shu Ling asked with a solemn expression as Shen Yu Ning was around, she couldn't use the same tone she used when there were only Mo Xi and the Jing family around.

"Aunty, don't be angry with Mo Xi, although she is already twenty-two, she is very good with her studies and popular in class!" Shen Yu Ning said quickly as though she was afraid that Mo Xi would be disliked by Yang Shu Ling. However, deep inside she was extremely happy, thinking that Yang Shu Ling was angry at the fact that Mo Xi was uneducated. Furthermore, she purposely said that Mo Xi was popular to dig another hole for Mo Xi, saying that Mo Xi was very flirtatious.

"Oi! Don't try to sabotage Mo Xi with your twisted words." Jing Bo Chuan suddenly came out from a room and spoke coldly.

Jing Bo Chuan came back to the Jing Mansion specifically for Mo Xi. He knew that Shen Yu Ning would have come and tried to put down Mo Xi, and from the times he had spent with Mo Xi, he knew that Mo Xi wouldn't speak more than needed. He was in the room listening to what they were saying the whole time, so he got rather angry for an outsider to put down his friend.

"The moment you came in, you tried to put down Mo Xi by saying that she was your student, despite her age. Then, you tried to make her look bad by saying that she isn't thoughtful to come empty-handed. After that, you tried to make her feel bad by saying that you and the Jing family is very close, and she was only an outsider. Now, you are even trying to frame her for being flirtatious?!"

Mo Xi was extremely surprised that Jing Bo Chuan could see through Shen Yu Ning's tricks and that he even spoke up for her.

On the other hand, Shen Yu Ning was stunned, and her face went pale slightly.

"Bo Chuan, don't be disrespectful." Yang Shu Ling said in a stern voice, though she was happy to see the stunned look on Shen Yu Ning's face.

"No. You have misunderstood me, I didn't do all those on purpose. Mo Xi, did I make you feel bad? I'm sorry if I did…" Shen Yu Ning put on an apologetic face and turned to Mo Xi to explain as though she was just being herself but didn't expect that it would make Mo Xi feel bad.

"It's fine, I don't feel bad, there is nothing to feel bad about."

"Bo Chuan, it's fine. Relax." Mo Xi laughed lightly while telling Jing Bo Chuan to calm down and let her handle this matter.

"Mom, I had weak health since young, so…"

Before Mo Xi could even finish what she was saying, Shen Yu Ning interrupted again, "Ah?! Mo Xi, you have poor health?! How are you going to carry the Jing family line this way?!"

This sentence caught the attention of the two elders in the family as they were concerned about the family line.

Mo Xi saw the worry in their eyes and decided to ignore Shen Yu Ning and continue with what she was going to say, "Because of my poor health, I only started school when I was fifteen, by then my health had already recovered."

Mo Xi directed the last sentence to Shen Yu Ning.

The elders finally relaxed and smiled happily once again, hearing that Mo Xi was healthy. Although they were worried about Mo Xi not being able to conceive, they were still supportive of Mo Xi being the Jing family's daughter-in-law. To them, if there was someone that Jing Mo Chen wished to spend his whole life with, they would be contented. Their main concern was that they were afraid that Jing Mo Chen would spend his whole life alone without a partner, hence whether Jing Mo Chen had a child or not wasn't as important. Though they still wished to see that their family would have a cute baby.
