Chapter 807 - A Dream (1)

“Father, do you think it’s really appropriate for me to accept so many gifts?” Ling Sheng felt a little guilty. She received so many gifts on a trip.

It was the same for the Yan Family. The grandma and great-grandmother had given her a jade bracelet. It was top-quality Nephrite Jade, and as an object from the Ming Dynasty, it could be auctioned for more than 10 million.

No matter what kind of relatives they were, they were all very rich. What should she do when they were so generous? She felt terrified just by holding it! It was just a New Year’s greeting. Couldn’t they just give her a red packet as a small token? They had all given her such expensive things like they were pampering her to death!

“You’ve already taken them. If they aren’t appropriate, you can return them!” Huo Ci gave her a disdainful look. Look at her! Was she complaining about how troublesome they were even when she received high-quality gifts?

“How can I do that? How can I reject an elder’s kind intentions?” Ling Sheng was a young money-grubber who was still looking at the jewelry. Every single one of them looked good. She smiled as she flattered him. “Father, I have to say… All the uncles you found for me are really impressive. You’re too awesome.”

The elders had given them to her on account of her father. Otherwise, who would recognize her? Even if they had to return the greetings with gifts of similar value in the future, it would be her father paying for them.

Xiaoqi looked at Ling Sheng seriously. “Mommy, when Xiaoqi makes money, I’ll buy you a lot of jewelry, okay?”

Ling Sheng was amused. She leaned over and gave her son a loud kiss before smiling. “Okay, Mommy will wait for you to earn big bucks.”

Huo Ci wrinkled his brows.

Xiaoqi crawled toward the front passenger seat from the back and looked at Huo Ci seriously. “Grandpa, Xiaoqi will buy for you too.”

Huo Ci said, “I’ll thank the heavens so long as you and your mother don’t anger me to death.”

Xiaoqi said, “Xiaoqi dotes on Grandpa, and Mommy dotes on Grandpa too.”

Ling Sheng knocked on the backseat and reminded him, “Son, the seat belt.”

Xiaoqi tried his best to pull the seat belt out, but he could not fasten it.

“You’re so stupid.” Huo Ci fastened his seatbelt with one hand in disdain. “Why did you run to the front? Go to the backseat.”

“Xiaoqi will talk to Grandpa so that Grandpa will not be too tired while driving,” Xiaoqi answered very seriously.

Huo Ci looked ahead and swept a look at the child beside him out of the corner of his eye. His lips could not help but curl up into a smile. Actually, having a cheap daughter and grandson felt quite good.

Ling Sheng looked ahead and saw the duo talking. Xiaoqi was overjoyed. He could finally meet his little uncle Nao Nao. He kept mentioning the latter every day, even more diligently than he did about Su Nuo and the other little fellas.

The duo would even video chat frequently. In Nao Nao’s house, his grandparents had built a tropical plant garden and he would show it to Xiaoqi during the video calls. Xiaoqi had been looking forward to visiting him since then.

Ling Sheng had not expected to meet Song Yiyan at the Rong Family. She had come with her father, Song Jing, but Mrs. Song did not come.

Yan Qiujin was talking to Song Yiyan. The young girl was very shy and did not like to talk either. If one did not take the initiative to ask her, she would not speak.

Song Yiyan was the first to see Ling Sheng enter. Her eyes lit up as she stood up suddenly and greeted her, “Ling Sheng!”

Ling Sheng was not shocked by her, but Yan Qiujin was. This child had been listless the whole time. So it was because she did not like talking to an old married woman like her? When she saw Sheng Sheng, her eyes lit up.

“Sixth Brother, your elder brother is talking to Mr. Song in the study.” Yan Qiujin had not expected Sixth Brother to bring Sheng Sheng and Xiaoqi over to wish them a happy new year. Xiaoqi’s big eyes scanned the area as though he was looking for something. She understood immediately. “Xiaoqi is looking for Nao Nao. He’s with his grandparents. Get your grandpa to take you to him.”
