Ji Yuncheng spent the whole night preparing. He looked at Sheng Chaochao's hands on the piano keys, cleared his throat and said.
"Chaochao, how much do you remember about the piano?"
Sheng Chaochao was not sure, "It seems a little bit."
She tried to play it a few times, and it felt familiar yet unfamiliar. She pursed her lips, as if she was always recalling things from her childhood today.
Xiao Sheng Chaochao actually doesn't like practicing piano, but she likes the proud look on her mother's face.
She forced herself to practice. At that time, her hands were small and it was always difficult to learn the piano. But because of her mother's praise, she gritted her teeth and persisted in practicing.
The piano teacher kept praising her for being very talented.
She still remembered that her neck was raised very high at that time, and she always felt that she was the smartest child in the world.
Sheng Chaochao thought about herself when she was a child, and her fingertips moved randomly on the piano keys a few times.
It is not easy to forget things learned deep in the human brain. Although I don't remember much, when I see the piano, some simple tunes instantly return to Sheng Chaochao's memory.
One "Little Star" and another "Two Tigers", very familiar and simple children's songs came out.
After the song ended, Yang Yuqiong and the others clapped very hard. Her voice was excited and excited, "Chaochao, you played so beautifully."
Ji Yanli looked at the little guy he had raised with a proud smile. He was even more proud than her.
Look, this is the rose he took care of carefully. When it blooms, it is more beautiful than any other flower in the garden.
"Chaochao, you play very nicely."
Hearing their compliments, Sheng Chaochao thought he was playing Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
"That's all I remember."
She was a little embarrassed to say it to Ji Yuncheng.
But Ji's family now has a very thick filter on her, and she thinks she is very good no matter what she does.
Not to mention that her posture at playing the piano is really good. Ji Yuncheng smiled happily, "It's already great to remember these. Chao Chao is really smart."
I was praised again!
Sheng Chaochao raised his neck towards Ji Yanli, and Ji Yanli raised his eyebrows, as if to say, "Chaochao, you are awesome."
With the Ji family's praise and filters, Sheng Chaochao's two hours of study time passed very quickly.
She is not a person without any foundation. She only needs a little help from Ji Yuncheng to remember everything she learned when she was a child. Now she only needs to learn one piano piece, even if it is memorized by rote, it is not difficult. It's pretty big.
After that, Sheng Chaochao only needed two hours to roughly remember how to read the music score and how to recognize the tadpoles.
Two hours later, no one in the Ji family allowed her to continue studying.
Yang Yuqiong and Tian Xuelan pulled her to stand up first and said with smiles on their faces.
"Okay, Chao Chao, there are only a few days left for the annual meeting. Just practice a piece of music and you will learn it quickly. Your health is important now. Don't sit down all the time. Let's go for a walk in the garden."
"You can have dinner after you finish shopping."
Yang Yuqiong also gave the pastries she made to the banquet gift that had been following them.
"The banquet is ready. You can rest assured that Chao Chao will be hungry later."
After saying that, he turned to her and asked, "Chaochao, would you like to eat a cookie now?"
Sheng Chaochao was stunned, looking at the good-looking cookies on the plate, she nodded.
The next second the cookie appeared in her hand, she curiously brought it to her mouth and bit it, her eyes brightening.
"Mom, the biscuits are crispy."
Because Sheng Chaochao was pregnant, the biscuits were not very sweet but salty. She did not feel nauseated when eating them. After one biscuit, she wanted another one.
Ji's family wished she could eat more. Yang Yuqiong even said happily, "Chaochao, mommy will make it for you every day from now on."
"Then mom is too tired, so it's better not to give up."
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired anymore. Seeing you eating happily makes me not tired at all."
In fact, Yang Yuqiong has always wanted to have a soft and sweet daughter.
However, during the birthday party, she suffered from severe bleeding and had health problems, making it unfit to have another child.
As the heir to the Ji family, Ji Yanli showed his intelligence when he was a child. He spent most of his time learning how to manage a business and take care of the family's assets.
Both mother and son spend little time together, not to mention that Ji Yanli has behaved like a little adult since he was a child, and rarely acts like a spoiled child. Of course, he cannot look like the child Yang Yuqiong wants in his heart.
Now that Sheng Chaochao is home, the girl is fragrant and soft, beautiful and delicate, and everything meets Yang Yuqiong's aesthetic standards.
Not to mention that she still has four cubs from Ji Yanli in her belly.
So let alone making some afternoon tea and she doesn’t find it troublesome, just let her spend three meals a day in the kitchen every day, and she will be willing to do it.
Tian Xuelan even followed closely, "Chaochao, grandma will help mom make it together. As long as you like it, our family will make cookies every day and make what you like to eat."
Looking at the eyes of the two elders, Sheng Chaochao knew that blind rejection would make them sad. She smiled even sweeter, held their hands and said, "Grandma, Mom, let's do this together in the future."
"Okay, just be happy."
Life back in the old house was happier and easier than Sheng Chaochao imagined.
The villa they live in is very large, with mountains, water, green space and a natural feel at a glance.
When Sheng Chaochao stepped into the garden, she smelled the alluring fragrance of osmanthus.
She looked at Ji Yanli in surprise, "Are the osmanthus flowers still blooming now? It smells so good!"
"Well, these osmanthus trees were transplanted when my great-grandfather was still here. They bloom later than ordinary osmanthus trees."
Sheng Chaochao opened his hands and closed his eyes and said, "It smells so good."
Everyone in the Ji family looked at her silently, with a smile on everyone's face.
Look, this is what a family feels like.
Walking a few steps ahead, Sheng Chaochao also saw red plums, and said even more excitedly, "Ayan, it's so beautiful here."
She thought the villa area when she was a child was already very good, but compared with the Ji family's old house, it was just for adults and infants, and there was no comparison at all.
There was a blizzard in Kyoto two days ago. The red plum blossoms and the snowy scenery in front of me contrasted with each other. The beautiful Sheng Chaochao really wanted to go in and have a snowball fight.
Of course, snowball fights were out of the question, Sheng Chaochao thought, and Ji's family wouldn't allow it either.
But the little girl smiled so cutely that Ji Xingyi called Butler Xia directly.
"Just take a picture of us here."
"This is a memorable day for our Ji family."
Today is the day when Sheng Chaochao returns home, the day when she becomes a child of the Ji family.
From today on, their family will never be separated. When the children in Sheng Chaochao's belly are born, Ji Xing expects that he will become the most envied and jealous person of all the wealthy families in Kyoto.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Yang Yuqiong's Weibo was updated again.
This time she posted a photo with a caption.
【Family photo! 】
Sheng Chaochao's face was no longer marked. The little girl's smile was brighter than the flowers behind her. She was holding a red plum and was protected by everyone in the middle.
The Ji family wants to tell the world, "This girl is the one protected by the Ji family. She is no longer the poor little girl she used to be. No one can bully her."
