Chapter 275: Slandering My Father
Shen Jingxuan and Chen Yi looked at each other, and seeing that Chen Yi wanted to respond, she hurriedly stopped him.
"Ying'er, why don't you go today and just stay at your house?"
Chen Yi looked at her suddenly, not understanding why Shen Jingxuan, who had never refused Jiang Shaoying, refused.
It would be fine if she didn’t know that today was Jiang Shaoying’s birthday.
Now that he knew it was Jiang Shaoying's birthday, he refused without hesitation.
"At home?" Jiang Shaoying asked loudly.
How did she take Shen Jingxuan shopping at home? How did she get Shen Jingxuan to give her a gift at home?
Jiang Shaoying said: "No, let's go play on the street today."
Shen Jingxuan's eyes flickered: "But I don't want to go. Where's Daddy? I'll go and pay my respects to him."
If Chen Yi hadn't told her, she would have agreed to go out on the street with Jiang Shaoying...
Shen Jingxuan smiled secretly in her heart. Just by looking at Jiang Shaoying's expression, she knew that she must want to ask for a gift from her like she did last year.
"Dad is not here." Jiang Shaoying said hurriedly.
"Who said I'm not here?" The voice of Marquis Zhongyong sounded behind them.
Jiang Shaoying suddenly glared at him, wishing she could throw him out of the house immediately.
"Xuan'er, father is at home." Marquis Zhongyong said in a gentle voice.
"Pfft..." Chen Yi laughed out loud.
Shen Jingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly. The arrival of the Loyal and Brave Marquis was just in time, as if he was just waiting for Jiang Shaoying to lie so that he could expose her.
"Dad, can I have lunch at your house today?"
Marquis Zhongyong smiled and said, "Okay, you guys have fun, I'll go ask the kitchen to prepare." After saying that, he strode away.
Shen Jingxuan raised the corner of her lips: "Ying'er, Daddy is not here?"
How much did she want me to give her a gift that she even told such an unreliable lie.
"Uh, I didn't know Dad was there."
Jiang Shaoying didn't know how many times he had scolded the Loyal and Brave Marquis in his heart.
He had been hiding in the study all day, but today he was much more diligent and came at this time.
Shen Jingxuan looked at her with interest: "Oh..."
"In that case, let's go to your yard."
After saying that, Shen Jingxuan pulled Chen Yi towards her yard without caring whether Jiang Shaoying followed or not.
Jiang Shaoying watched the two people walking further and further away, and even though she was reluctant, she had to follow them back.
In the room, as soon as the three of them sat down, Chen Yi couldn't wait to take out the gift.
"Ying'er, this is my birthday gift for you." Chen Yi placed the gift in front of Jiang Shaoying.
But Jiang Shaoying didn't even look at the gift and directly handed it to the maid behind her.
She looked at Shen Jingxuan from time to time, just waiting for her to take out the gift.
Shen Jingxuan just sat there quietly, as if she didn't hear what Chen Yi said.
Jiang Shaoying hesitated for a moment: "Yier, I like the birthday gift you gave me very much."
She deliberately emphasized the words "birthday gift" and her eyes gradually fell on Shen Jingxuan.
Chen Yi suddenly glared at her, her face flushed with anger, and she didn't know how to react for a moment.
She clearly didn't even look at it, but now she told herself that she liked it very much?
What does she like? Does she like gift boxes?
Seeing that she was staring at Shen Jingxuan intently, Chen Yi seemed to suddenly understand Shen Jingxuan's thoughts.
No wonder A Xuan refused to leave the house. Maybe she knew what Jiang Shaoying was thinking?
There was silence in the room for a moment. Shen Jingxuan noticed that Jiang Shaoying's eyes were always on her, and the corners of her lips gradually curled up.
"Ying'er, do you think Daddy will prepare the food I like later?"
"..." Jiang Shaoying was a little disappointed for a moment.
Seeing that Jiang Shaoying was silent, Shen Jingxuan continued, "Yier, I forgot to bring a gift for Daddy when I came to the mansion today. Why don't we go to the street and take a look later?"
Jiang Shaoying's eyes lit up slightly. She was still thinking about what excuse to use to take them out of the house, when the opportunity came.
Without waiting for Chen Yi to answer, Jiang Shaoying said hurriedly: "Okay, let's leave the house now."
Shen Jingxuan found it funny to see her expectant look.
She knew that Jiang Shaoying had such thoughts.
Shen Jingxuan's eyes flickered slightly: "Forget it, it's a bit cold outside today, why don't I have someone send it to your house another day."
"Besides, Daddy probably wouldn't care about these empty formalities."
"How can that be? You have finally come to your house, so of course you have to bring some gifts for Dad." Jiang Shaoying said.
Shen Jingxuan looked at her with a smile: "But I don't want to leave the house today. I want to go back home directly after lunch."
She wanted to see what Jiang Shaoying would say and what method she would use to get her out of the house today.
"Ah Xuan, Daddy values these etiquettes the most. You must prepare a gift for Daddy today."
Shen Jingxuan said: "How could that be? I think Daddy is easy to talk to, he will definitely not bother with me about this."
Jiang Shaoying frowned slightly when she saw that Shen Jingxuan was determined not to leave the house.
After hesitating for a moment, she continued, "Ah Xuan, you don't know."
"Dad is the most stingy..."
"Silly girl, who are you calling stingy?" The voice of Marquis Zhongyong sounded outside the door.
Before Jiang Shaoying could come to her senses, she felt a pain on her head and stared at Marquis Zhongyong.
"Is there anyone like you who speaks ill of your own father behind his back?"
Marquis Zhongyong never expected that while he tried so hard to act like a loving father in front of Shen Jingxuan, his own daughter actually slandered him.
Jiang Shaoying said angrily: "How can you hit your own daughter right away?"
At this moment, she couldn't understand why her biological father, whom she had never seen in the past, appeared in front of her so often today.
It would be fine if nothing happened, but every time I mention him, he appears.
"Hmph." Marquis Zhongyong snorted coldly.
Tell him now that she is your biological daughter. When you were slandering me just now, why didn’t you think about the fact that I am her biological father?
He turned around and looked at Shen Jingxuan and said gently: "Xuan'er, lunch is ready, do you want to eat now?"
Jiang Shaoying stared at Marquis Zhongyong with wide eyes, and for a moment she wondered if her father was stupid.
He beats his own daughter but speaks softly to his adopted daughter. Is it possible that his father has lost his mind?
Shen Jingxuan smiled and said, "Dad, we'll be there soon."
"Okay, Dad, go ask the servants to serve the meal." After saying that, he left once again.
"Pfft..." Chen Yi couldn't hold back her laughter any longer.
"Ying'er, could it be that you are not a biological daughter? Your father treats his adopted daughter with great warmth."
If she didn't know the truth, Chen Yi would have suspected that Jiang Shaoying was not the biological daughter of Marquis Zhongyong.
Jiang Shaoying gently rubbed the top of his head and gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that his father was too partial.
How could one treat his adopted daughter better than his biological daughter?
In her entire life, she had never heard her father speak to her the way he just did.
She glanced outside the door: "Him? He must be mentally ill."
After thinking for a while, Jiang Shaoying continued: "My father is mentally ill and always has mental disorders."
Shen Jingxuan and Chen Yi suddenly looked behind Jiang Shaoying, and they couldn't stop smiling.
