812 Probe

“Grandma, what’s wrong?” Shen Hanxing couldn’t help but laugh. She held her grandma’s arm and said softly, “It’s not grandma’s fault,”

“Qiao Xi is a nice child. Why did she have to choose a dead end?” Frowning, grandma ruffled the top of Shen Hanxing’s head and whispered, “It’s better not to let her come over in the future.”

“It’s not grandma’s fault.” Shen Hanxing tugged at her grandma’s arm and shook it, acting like a spoiled child. “Grandma, don’t be unhappy. I’ll feel bad if you’re like this.” She was the one who had asked Qiao Xi to take care of her grandma, but no one could predict what the others would think and do. How could her grandma take all the blame on herself?

“Qiao Xi was too greedy. No matter what happens in the future, she only has herself to blame,” Ji Yan said coldly. He thought Qiao Xi had gotten over it when she left the Ji family. But now… Ji Yan’s eyes were cold. He exchanged a look with Shen Hanxing, and both remained silent.

The three of them quickly dropped the subject. Shen Hanxing took out her phone and showed her grandma the photos they had taken at the farmhouse. They chatted and laughed. After the meal, Ji Qian and the others went upstairs to rest while Ji Yan returned to the study to work. Shen Hanxing and Qiao Xi accompanied grandma for a walk in the garden to digest her food.

“During this time, the people at the foundation have been taking good care of me. I’ve learned a lot.” Qiao Xi was much more at ease when Ji Yan wasn’t around. Her eyes lit up when she mentioned her life at the foundation, and she shared her life with Shen Hanxing and her grandma cheerfully. “When I first arrived, I didn’t even know how to use excel. The team leader asked me to make a chart of the data, and I even used a pen to draw it on paper.” She was a lot more cheerful and confident now. The environment had a great influence on a person. Qiao Xi used to feel inferior and timid when faced with such things, but now she could bring it up jokingly.

Grandma had always been a very kind old woman. When she heard Qiao Xi’s words, she also laughed. “You’ll get used to it. You’re still young. Learn more and see more of the outside world.”Grandma was all the time smiling and looked kind. “Qiao Xi, it wasn’t easy for you to get to where you are now. You have to treasure your current life and be content.”

Her grandma was a very soft-hearted old woman. She couldn’t say much, and she couldn’t tell Qiao Xi to be grateful for fear that she would feel embarrassed. She could only remind her not to make mistakes, hoping she would understand her advice.

Qiao Xi wasn’t stupid. She was intelligent and sensitive, and she was good at reading people. Perhaps she understood her grandma’s good intentions, but her body and smile froze. After a while, she looked away as if nothing had happened and smiled. “Yes, I know. Don’t worry, Old Madam.”

A look of disappointment flashed across grandma’s eyes. Shen Hanxing held her arm and squeezed it to comfort her.

“By the way, Mrs. Ji, I noticed that the office on the third floor of the foundation is locked. Is there anything important there? ” Qiao Xi nonchalantly changed the topic and casually asked, “when I’m free, I want to go there and clean up, but the leader stopped me from going.” She seemed embarrassed, and her smile was pure, as if she was curious about a field she had never encountered. “Is it like in the TV series, where confidential files are kept?”

It seemed that the foundation was indeed a training ground. Qiao Xi, who always had her emotions written all over her face, had also matured. The expression on her face was flawless, but when her eyes fell on Shen Hanxing, there was a hint of anticipation. What was Qiao Xi trying to find out? Or rather, what did she want to know?

“Don’t watch those nonsensical TV dramas. What secret files could the foundation have?” Shen Hanxing smiled and said, “that’s my office over there. Some of the foundation’s account books are also stored there…”Shen Hanxing paused, smiled, and added, “nothing important. I’m just afraid that it’ll be lost or damaged if it’s left outside. It’s just some plain and boring data. There’s nothing to see.”

Qiao Xi’s eyes flickered. She felt that Shen Hanxing’s words sounded as if she was hiding something. “I see… Who should I ask for the key to open the door?” She smiled innocently and said, “since it’s your office, it should be kept clean. I’m sure you won’t want to get suffocated by the dust when you enter your office…”
