“Ah?” Qiao Xi returned to her senses and looked at Ji Mo with a confused expression. She replied, “No, nothing.”

“Oh, really? I thought that Sister Qiao Xi wasn’t used to this place and was unhappy.” Ji Mo looked at Qiao Xi deeply. He said, “I saw that you were absent-minded and restless when you were reading, so I thought that you are not used to living in our house, Sister Qiao Xi. If you are uncomfortable, you must tell us. After all, we’re all very grateful to you for taking care of Grandma for so long.”

Ji Mo’s expression was extremely sincere, and his gaze seemed to be able to see through Qiao Xi’s heart. He continued, “Besides, you have helped our family a lot, so please don’t treat us as outsiders, Sister Qiao Xi.”

Hearing Ji Mo’s words, Qiao Xi clenched her fists tightly. The Ji family was like a social class that she should not have come into contact with. It was a world of difference from her life. She had been beaten up and suffered in the mountain village. She had never dreamed that she would have such a life now. When she took care of Grandmother, she felt that life was like a dream. Every day, she only needed to cook, clean, take a walk with Grandmother and chat with her. Then, she would get paid. But now, she was even more relaxed. She didn’t even have to do anything and only needed to help out occasionally. This kind of life had Qiao Xi waking up from her dreams countless times. She couldn’t help but wonder if her current life was a dream. Was she worthy of such a good life? Living in a big villa that was like a palace, she didn’t have to worry about her life, nor did she have to be afraid of being beaten or scolded. She didn’t have to work hard every day. Besides feeling unreal, Qiao Xi couldn’t help but feel inferior and timid, as if she had stolen to get everything she currently had.

Qiao Xi wasn’t an academic person to begin with. She hadn’t even finished elementary school, and she hadn’t been studying for many years. She had only happened to see Shen Hanxing reading on the balcony by chance. A gentle breeze blew through Shen Hanxing’s long hair, making her look as beautiful as a tranquil painting. So, she picked up a book to learn from her. However, she realized that compared to the contents of the book, she would rather be like Shen Hanxing and become a part of the scenery in the eyes of others.

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but admit that she envied Shen Hanxing and even wanted to become Shen Hanxing. This mentality made her feel that she was very despicable, so she subconsciously did not want others to know about it. Facing Ji Mo’s all-knowing gaze, Qiao Xi’s face revealed a slightly embarrassed expression. She said, “I’m… I’m not unhappy. I’m very happy…” As she said that, she wanted to touch her hair uneasily, but she forgot that her hair was tied up behind her head and she touched nothing.

Qiao Xi felt even more embarrassed after she failed. She could only raise her arm and touch the back of her head as she smiled awkwardly. She felt an endless sense of defeat and embarrassment. Why? Didn’t they say that Shen Hanxing had also come from the slums? Why was she so good-looking? Every part of her was perfect beyond words. Her silky hair was like fine silk, while her hair was dry and messy like wild grass.

Qiao Xi’s face turned slightly pale, and she suddenly said, “Since you don’t need me here, I’ll go to the kitchen to help prepare dinner. You guys go ahead,” she said before she turned around and ran away without waiting for Ji Mo’s reply.

“Ji Mo, What are you looking at?” Ji Qian looked in the direction that Qiao Xi had disappeared in and asked Ji Mo, “What’s wrong with Qiao Xi? She’s running away so quickly, isn’t she afraid of falling down?” As she said that, she frowned and looked at Ji Mo suspiciously. She asked, “You didn’t bully Qiao Xi, did you? Qiao Xi’s timid, so she’s bound to be awkward in our house. Don’t scare her with your words.”

Although Ji Qian was not as smart as the others, she was not stupid either. Ji Mo looked harmless but he was actually very smart and was the one that thought a lot. Of course, Ji Qian was very satisfied with Ji Mo’s intelligence. After all, this was the only way for him to avoid being bullied outside. However, it would be a little wrong to use his methods on Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi had a soft personality and was very sensitive. She kept everything to herself and refused to say it out loud. She was the kind of person who would rather cry in a corner than cause trouble for others, so Ji Qian was a little worried.
