Priceless Baby's Super Daddy
Chapter 1678 - Empty-Handed
Jing Xi turned and saw her foster mother and sister standing there. It seemed like they’d been waiting there for quite some time.
The way Jin Hua was dressed almost shocked Jing Xi. She had a scarf covering her head and a pair of sunglasses to cover her eyes as if she was famous.
Jing Xi already guessed from the beginning that they would come for her when she became successful. She was prepared for this moment.
“Mom, sis, why are you here?”
“Wow! Look at you! I can’t even recognize you anymore!” Ge Juhua exclaimed as if Jing Xi was another person. Even though Jing Xi still had the scar on her face, the way she dressed elevated her look to another level.
Jing Xi only wore those clothes because the company requested that she did. They were free, and if she were to get famous, she could run into fans in public. The company did it so that she could maintain her public image.
“I’m still me, aren’t I? Sis is the different one,” Jing Xi said as she turned to Jin Hua. “Why are you covering your face like that even though you’ve spent so much on plastic surgery?”
“What do you know? This is how celebrities dress!” Jin Hua scolded.
“Hey! Don’t talk to your little sister like that!” Ge Juhua scolded. “And don’t get me started on how you dress!”
Ge Juhua never scolded Jin Hua before, but she did it this time so that she could impress Jing Xi.
Ge Juhuan then turned to Jing Xi and said, “Xiaoxi, how’s life outside? Why don’t you come back and live with us? It feels so different and lonely without you at home. Your dad misses you too.”
With Jing Xi’s understanding of Ge Juhua, the only truth that Ge Juhua had spoken was that Jin Hongshen missed her. Jing Xi knew Ge Juhua just wanted her to go back so that they got her money.
“Mom, I can’t. I still have classes and recording sessions every day. There’s no way I can go back there. I’ll visit you once I have the time,” Jing Xi said, not exposing Ge Juhua because Jing Xi was still grateful for the Jin family for taking her in.
“Are you still angry with me? I was just trying to teach the little boy what is right and what is wrong,” Ge Juhua explained. “Come home with me.”
“That’s not the reason,” Jing Xi said. “I told you, I still have work to do. There’s no way I can come back and forth from the city to the outskirts.”
“Then… Aren’t you living in a huge place now?” Ge Juhua asked. “How about we move in with you? Then we can all be together again.”
Ge Juhua was planning to not let a good source of money go.
“No, I’m still staying in the same one-room apartment.” Jing Xi shook her head. “There’s no space for any of you to stay.”
Jing Xi explained the situation quite clearly, but Ge Juhua was not going to leave empty-handed.
Jing Xi knew that the only way to make Ge Juhua leave was to give her money. Jing Xi sighed and took her purse out.
