Chapter 160 Shen Jiani’s Performance
Ling Tianyi returned to the hospital. He told Yao Sheng’s parents that the girl Yao Sheng loved would come to see him tomorrow. They would regard her as their future daughter-in-law even though they knew that she didn’t like their son. Feng Mingjun, who was always unwilling to leave the hospital also went home for one night with Feng Yuan, because she intended to dress up to show her politeness and respect. What was more, she wanted to send Shen Jiani a present.
The next day, Feng Mingjun arrived at the hospital at 7 o’clock in the morning. She forced Feng Yuan, her niece majoring in journalism in a key university in A City to go to school, because she thought that Feng Yuan’s study shouldn’t be delayed. Although Feng Yuan cared about her aunt and elder cousin very much, she returned school. However, she went to the hospital to look after them when she was free or she would be upset.
Feng Mingjun brought some Crucian Carp Soup she cooked for Yao Houde. He hasn’t tasted it for ten years, so he enjoyed it very much. Their relationship was better and better.
At about 9 o’clock, Ling Tianyi, Xia Xiaoluo and Shen Jiani arrived at St. Mary’s Private Hospital. They met Yao Sheng’s parents.
“Uncle Yao and Aunt Feng, this is Shen Jiani. She comes to see Yao Sheng.” Ling Tianyi introduced her to them enthusiastically as if they were good friends, seeming that he has never threatened her.
“h.e.l.lo, uncle and aunt!” Shen Jiani greeted them tenderly with a slight bow, showing politeness and elegance.
“h.e.l.lo, Miss Shen! Thank you for coming.” Feng Mingjun took her hands tenderly.
“Aunt, as Yao Sheng’s friend, I should see him under such circ.u.mstance. But I didn’t know it until Yi told me yesterday.” Being good at acting, Shen Jiani talked with Feng Mingjun intimately. n.o.body could tell that she was forced.
Ling Tianyi nodded, feeling satisfied and relieved. She acted even better than some actresses. It seems that minoring in Drama Performance works.
Although Feng Mingjun worried about her son, she felt relieved when she knew her son fell in love with such an educated and decent girl.
Last evening, Feng Mingjun thought that it would be troublesome if her son who was always frivolous and cynical liked a playgirl. But when she saw Shen Jiani who was so natural and graceful, she liked her very much. She decided to help Yao Sheng to marry her.
In fact, Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo hardly recognized Shen Jiani when they saw her today. Because she changed her yellow and curly hair into black and straight hair, making her gentle and graceful. She made light make-up and wore a white sweater and a long plaid dress instead of s.e.xy skirts and black silk stockings.
After talking with Feng Mingjun for a while, Shen Jiani said to her tenderly, “Aunt, I want to see Yao Sheng. Yi told me something about him, so I want to talk to him to encourage him. May I?”
“Sure! I really appreciate seeing that!” Feng Mingjun said excitedly. She liked Shen Jiani, so she would help Yao Sheng to marry her.
“Aunt, you are welcome. We are friends!” Shen Jiani said with a smile. “By the way, Yi and Yao Sheng call me Jiani, so you can call me Jiani too. It’s okay.”
“OK! Jiani, It’s very kind of you!” Feng Mingjun said and took Shen Jiani to see Yao Sheng who was in the ICU.
Through the window, Shen Jiani looked at Yao Sheng who was lying on the bed quietly. He was so weak and quiet, totally different from the one she knew. She didn’t know her feeling towards him clearly. On the one hand, she hated him so much that she really hoped that he could die at once. On the other hand, she was soft-hearted when she thought of Yao Sheng’s love to her.
Faced with an enemy who really liked her, Shen Jiani was a little confused.
Shen Jiani kept saying something to encourage Yao Sheng through the window. It was her first day to accompany Yao Sheng, so it would be improper to say something too intimate. Otherwise she could not satisfy Yao Sheng’s parents and Ling Tianyi. Thus, she would do it gradually.
After talking for one hour, Shen Jiani was thirsty. Feng Mingjun peeled an apple for her, “Jiani, it will be a long time. You have talked so much. Have a rest!”
Shen Jiani took the apple and bit a little, saying, “Aunt, thank you. I hope he can recover as soon as possible. He used to be energetic, and even made me annoyed sometimes. However, I want to see a lively Yao Sheng now, because the one who is lying there quietly is not the real Yao Sheng.”
“You’re right. When Xiaosheng was a child, he was always naughty and troublesome. I was busy apologizing to his teachers and other people to make up for it…” Feng Mingjun smiled bitterly when she recalled what happened in his childhood. She hated that Yao Sheng made troubles before. But she would celebrate it happily now as long as he could wake up.
Yao Sheng’s parents were delighted to see Shen Jiani and Feng Yuan come to the hospital, so Ling Tianyi suggested they eat out together.
Ling Tianyi took them to Hously Hotel which belonged to Huasheng Group, which was near the hospital and was also convenient for Ling Tianyi to arrange things.
During the meal, Feng Mingjun took out a little blue velvet box and said to Shen Jiani beside her tenderly, “Jiani, I like you very much even though it’s our first time to meet. I wanted to buy you something and Xiaoyuan told me that this pair of earrings would suit you young girls well. It really suits you when I see you, I hope you like it!”
“Aunt, it’s so kind of you! But I can’t accept it because it is so expensive!” Shen Jiani refused at once, because Ling Tianyi would never let her go if she looked greedy and vainglorious in front of Yao Sheng’s parents. What was more, she had a lot of jewelry, so she didn’t need that pair of earrings.
“Sister Jiani, take it! My aunt bought it for you yesterday! I chose it for you and I think it will suit you well!” Feng Yuan left her seat to Shen Jiani. “Look! Only you can wear it. My aunt is not young enough and I don’t have my ears pierced. Xiaoluo’s husband will buy her jewelry. It is yours. It will be a waste if you don’t accept it!”
“Jiani, you are Yao Sheng’s friend. I should buy something for you .” Feng Mingjun said tenderly.
Seeing that they got along well, Ling Tianyi also hoped that she could accept it, so he said, “Jiani, take it, or Aunt Feng will be unhappy.”
“OK, I will! But I should do something to pay it back. I have no job now, so I will come to the hospital to accompany Yao Sheng every day. I hope that you will not mind!” Shen Jiani behaved naturally and took the opportunity to tell them that she would see Yao Sheng every day. Ling Tianyi was satisfied, thinking that she was a smart woman.
When Ling Desheng forced them to get married, Shen Jiani refused firmly together with him. It was the first time for Ling Tianyi to think that she was smart. This time, she behaved naturally and gracefully, which satisfied Ling Tianyi. He even hoped that she could marry Yao Sheng if she had a clean and good reputation.
Feng Mingjun was very delighted after hearing Shen Jiani’s words, “Of course not! I like that! I really hope you can come every day!”
Seeing her aunt finally become happy, Feng Yuan was delighted as well. Knowing that Yao Sheng fell in love with Shen Jiani, she also decided to help Yao Sheng to win her heart to rea.s.sure her aunt.
“Sister Jiani, let me help you to wear it! Have a try!” Feng Yuan said with a smile.
“OK!” Shen Jiani took her own earrings off and Feng Yuan helped her to wear the new ones. Feng Mingjun and Yao Houde both felt satisfied.
The earrings were made of rose-shaped platinum with diamonds. It was luxurious for common people, but it was just an ordinary gift for Yao Sheng’s parents. Feng Mingjun planned to buy her something more valuable, but Ling Tianyi told her that they were just friends now, so it was improper to buy something too valuable. Something delicate was okay.
After wearing the new earrings, Shen Jiani asked all the people with a smile, “Look! I must be much more beautiful! How do you think?”
“Sure! I chose it for you!” Feng Yuan said proudly.
All of them got along well and Ling Tianyi thought that Shen Jiani was really talented and skilled at sociality. He would hire her as the Manager of the Public Relations Department in Huasheng Group if she were a good girl.
After the meal, Shen Jiani returned to the hospital together with Feng Mingjun and Yao Houde. Feng Yuan went to school because one of her schoolmates called her.
Shen Jiani would accompany Yao Sheng’s parents so Ling Tianyi who was busy and exhausted, went to have a good rest. He took Xia Xiaoluo home after saying goodbye to Feng Mingjun.
“Darling, I’m hungry!” Ling Tianyi said the moment they arrived home.
“Ah? There were so much delicious food in the hotel just now. I’m full now. Why are you still hungry?” Xia Xiaoluo asked, feeling confused.
“But I’m hungry!” Ling Tianyi shrugged his shoulders.
“What do you want to eat? I will cook for you. Let me check our refrigerator!” Xia Xiaoluo opened the refrigerator and checked carefully.
“It’s not necessary, because I don’t want to eat anything but… you!” Ling Tianyi smiled frivolously and held her. “Darling, you did not satisfy me these days in the hospital. We are free now, so we should cherish our time! In the bedroom or in the kitchen?”
“In the bedroom!” Xia Xiaoluo said and blushed.
“OK! We will go to the bedroom as you like!” Ling Tianyi strode to the bedroom and Xia Xiaoluo held his neck, murmuring, “I didn’t say that, it’s you!”
