Chapter 225: Chapter 223: Returning to Gan Mansion, the Hidden Secret of Heilong Mountain
A wave of regret welled up in her heart; that was the first gift Ye Lei had bought for her, containing a piece of his heart. To lose it like this, the sense of loss was indescribable.
Looking at this star fruit wood hairpin with a very similar design in her hand, Liu Sisi thought for a moment and finally decided to grit her teeth and buy it.
She carefully wrapped it up and put it close to her body. Let it replace the lost hairpin then.
After leaving, Liu Sisi went to the Gan family again.
As soon as Gan Miaoruo saw her, she immediately pouted her lips! Stomping her foot angrily, she pulled unwillingly on Liu Sisi’s sleeve.
“Teacher! You are all words and no action, always disappearing and never seen opening the door of your bookstore!”
Gan Miaoruo’s pouted mouth could hang 24 oil bottles!
“Ruo Ruo, I’m sorry! Something really happened at my home, I am very sorry indeed.”
“You tell me, what exactly happened in your family? If you can convince me the Miss, perhaps I might actually consider forgiving you.” Gan Miaoruo assumed a young adult-like posture with her hands on her hips, tilting her head towards her.
The smile disappeared from Liu Sisi’s face!
“It was… we encountered bandits on Heilong Mountain.”
Family shame should not be spread! Naturally, Liu Sisi would not tell the story of Di Ruoning hiring assassins to kill people.
The always silent Old Madam Gan, who was sitting nearby, was also surprised!
“What did you say? The bandits on Heilong Mountain? Is this true?”
Liu Sisi hurriedly turned her head to bow: “I wouldn’t dare deceive the Old Madam, in the middle…” Liu Sisi looked at Gan Miaoruo, hesitated to continue speaking: “In between, some things happened, but in the end, my husband and I fell off the cliff. Perhaps it was the mercy of the heavens or the Goddess of Mercy showing her divine presence. At the most crucial moment, several Grandmasters from the Zen temple saved us, so we managed to escape the disaster.”
“Oh? There was actually such a thing?”
Old Madam Gan straightened up and looked back at Gan Miaoruo who was beside her: “Ruo Ruo, didn’t you receive several excellent pieces of Su embroidery a few days ago? You said you wanted to share a few with the teacher. Hurry up and bring them out for the teacher to look at.”
Gan Miaoruo was listening intently and didn’t want to leave at all.
“For such small matters, I can just ask the maids to do it! I…”
“Hm? Ruo Ruo -”
Old Madam Gan spoke in a deep voice.
“I’ll go, I’ll go, hmph!” Gan Miaoruo was also angry, stomping her foot and turning around before trotting out of the living room.
“This child… It’s all because I spoiled her.” The Old Madam shook her head.
Liu Sisi pursed her lips: “Ruo Ruo is just candid and lovely, and especially considerate and caring. How could she be considered spoiled?”
“You are right in saying that! This child is especially caring, she’s simply my little happy fruit!”
Old Madam Gan laughed heartily, as Liu Sisi’s words touched her heartstrings.
To others, Gan Miaoruo might appear arrogant and willful, but to the Old Madam’s eyes, she was simply naive and candid! These were all virtues, where would they allow others to casually point fingers and criticize?
