Suddenly, Shen Hanxing thought of something. “Oh right, I accompanied Xiao Ning to her violin class today and got to know Maestro Lin Ran’s parents.” Shen Hanxing smiled and said, “Old Master Lin promised to teach you how to draw. When we go to Maestro Lin Ran’s house next week, you should

come along too, Xiao Mo.”

After she came back, she specially looked up the elderly couple’s information. That was when she found out just how shocking their identities were. The numerous awards on their Baidu Encyclopedia pages made her speechless.

Shen Hanxing was very satisfied to be able to find such a suitable teacher for Ji Mo.

Ji Mo’s eyes flashed with a complicated light. The feeling in his heart was strange and complex. He subconsciously asked softly, “Sister-in-law, you know that I like to draw?”

“Aren’t you always drawing when you’re resting?” Shen Hanxing nodded very naturally. She said matter-of-factly, “I’ve seen your sleeves stained with paint several times. I guess you were too engrossed in drawing and didn’t see it on your clothes. This time, I coincidentally met a suitable teacher and got

them to guide you.”

She said it very simply, as if finding a teacher was a small matter that couldn’t be more convenient. However, the person she mentioned was the famous artist, Old Master Lin. He was the role model of countless people who had spent their entire lives learning to draw. Many people had tried their best to

get his guidance, but they couldn’t even get a single word in, much less become his student.

Ji Mo suddenly thought of his own biological mother. That woman had never cared about what he liked or disliked. She would only urge him to fight for more family assets to take care of her retirement. That woman only cared about herself, she would never trouble herself to find a teacher for a little

hobby of his.

‘The more understated Shen Hanxing’s attitude was, the more complicated the hearts of the Ji brothers and sisters became. What price had she paid and what method had she used to make Old Master Lin, who did not accept students, agree to guide Ji Mo?

“Oh right,” As though the bomb that was dropped wasn’t enough, Shen Hanxing patted Ji Ning’s head again. “Old Lady Lin, who is also Old Master Lin’s wife, is highly accomplished in the violin. If there’s anything you don’t understand in the future, feel free to ask her.”

Ji Ning’s eyes instantly lit up. She asked in disbelief, “Is it the person I’m thinking of? She promised to teach me occasionally?”

Her fingertips trembled with excitement and tears were about to fall. She was too happy. Everything that had happened in the past few days made her feel as if she was in the clouds, as though this was all a dream.

Even a violinist like Old Lady Lin was willing to give her pointers. Sister-in-law must have put in a lot of effort for her, right? Ji Ning’s eyes welled up. This strong feeling of being loved and being placed in someone else’s heart made her indescribably moved. Her eyes turned red.

Ji Ning held back her tears and smiled brightly. “Thank you, Sister-in-law!”

“We’re all family,” Seeing that she was about to cry again, Shen Hanxing’s temples twitched. She casually took an apple and stuffed it into Ji Ning’s mouth. “Study hard. I believe in you.”

The apple was sweet and delicious. Ji Ning nodded her head vigorously as she chewed on it and smiled shyly.

Ji Qian looked at her brother and sister with jealousy. She was furious. For the first time, she felt horrible because she was not artsy and she wasn’t skilled in anything. However, she was about to feel even worse.

Han Yin added fuel to the fire and acted coquettishly to Shen Hanxing. “Sister Hanxing, we’re going to be separated into the different subject combinations in school soon. Can you help me with this?”

Shen Hanxing’s attention was instantly diverted.

“How infuriating! Where did this girl come from? Why was she so annoying!”

It was rare for the Ji siblings to have the same thoughts. Ji Qian was so angry that she became a pufferfish. She pushed Ji Ning’s back and silently urged her, “Go, get sister-in-law back!”

Ji Ning slowly blinked and grabbed Shen Hanxing’s sleeve. She pulled it slightly, and Shen Hanxing looked over. Ji Ning raised her timid little face and asked nervously, “Sister-in-law, the teacher taught me a new finger technique today. I don’t really understand it. Can you help me? It was my first class

today so I was too embarrassed to ask the teacher…”

Shen Hanxing didn’t suspect her. She nodded with a smile, “Okay, then let’s go to the music room and see how you play it. Maestro Lin Ran is your teacher. If you have anything you don’t understand, you have to ask him boldly. Don’t be afraid.”

“Mmm, I will work hard,” Ji Ning’s face flushed red and she stood up happily. “Then I will bring you upstairs, Sister-in-law.”

The living room had become the main battlefield for the girls.

Ji Yang and Ji Zhou looked at each other and their gazes fell on their obedient but scheming younger brother.

Ji Mo, who had rarely been bothered by his older brothers since he was young, was silent.

Something flashed across his eyes. He grabbed the strap of his school bag and chuckled lightly, “Sister-in-law, you haven’t seen my drawing, right? I’m afraid that Old Master Lin will be unhappy with me during class.. Can you help me take a look and give me some pointers?”
