Jibai didn't take the car but strolled home, as if it were a walk to digest.
She looked at the flower shops, non-staple food shops, and dessert shops outside the community, and she looked at the uncles and aunts in the shop, yelling and busy; everything was so familiar.
She seemed to have had a long dream in which she finished her life.
Jibai's home is located in the most high-end garden house complex in the city centre, where she lives in exquisite townhouses.
The surroundings of the villa are quiet and peaceful, with small bridges and flowing water, as well as green vines. Jibai planted all kinds of flowers in front of her house, which bloomed in turn throughout the year.
She enjoys nature and loves life. She once had infinite longing for her beautiful life.
Find a job you like, marry a beloved man, have two babies, and raise a cat. Life is warm and flat.
However, even this most mundane dream became an unattainable luxury in the end. Not to mention getting married and having children, her parents would not even allow her to fall in love because her mission was to become the "blood bank" for her sister.
Why.
Jibai returned home; the house was empty, and only the helping aunt was busy in the kitchen.
She lay on the bed, took out her phone, and saw a Weibo post by her sister two minutes ago. The picture is a selfie of the whole family eating in the restaurant.
"With the love of my parents, I feel that I am the happiest daughter in the world, and I will continue to insist on it! I love you!"
Jibai pulls down, and the comments are the same, which are all encouragement from fans.
However, she found an unusual comment:
"Weird, the family is eating; why isn't my sister present?"
This comment was like a drop of water poured into the sea and soon submerged.
Jibai felt a little comfort in her heart. At least she showed her face on the TV station and made people notice her existence.
This is just the beginning; she is not in a hurry.
Jibai took a rest for a while, then entered the practise room, where her sister danced on weekdays and her cello was also placed.
When the two sisters were very young, they enrolled in a special interest class. The older sister liked to dance, but Jibai didn't know anything at that time. The sister said that she would play the cello so that she could accompany her in the future, so Jibai learned the cello.
It is difficult to learn the cello at a level of five stars, but Jibai still persevered. Every weekend, he carried the heavy cello to the hobby class unimpeded.
Compared with Ji Fei Fei's dance, the process of learning the cello is much more boring. Now that she has chosen, whether she likes it or not, she feels that she should stick to it.
She was pulling Elgar's "Cello Concerto in E minor", and counting the time; grandma should be coming soon too.
Today in the last life, after the interview was given, grandma came to the mansion, and the whole family collectively criticised Jibai, thinking that what she said in the studio was totally rebellious.
The mother even accused her of having no conscience and ignoring the sisters' affection.
Jibai was blasted into tears by her mother's words and sincerely confessed her "guilt".
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Aunt Zhou said to Jibai, "Miss, the old lady is here."
"Oh, good!" Jibai put down her cello and hurried out of the room.
Downstairs, on the sofa in the living room, the old lady Ji sits awkwardly; her hair is not completely white; she wears presbyopia glasses; and her dress is much more fashionable than the average old lady.
Ji's three-generation management group enterprise can also be regarded as a family of high-class wealthy families. There are many branches in the family. Although the grandparents are old, they are still in control of the lifeline of the group. Jibai's father is one of a few brothers. China is not very competitive and now only has the right to operate a company.
Therefore, in Ji's family, the parents all look at the face of the old lady.
In the past, Jibai was very afraid of Grandma and thought she was so fierce and serious.
But when Jibai was dying, the only one who was by her side was Grandma.
The old lady has walked all the way from the shadows of the swords and swords of the last century. She has a calm personality but a kind heart.
It seems that Grandma is the only person in this family who can shelter her.
"I heard the sound of the cello from a long distance and guessed it was you, but I'm not sure. How did your violinist improve so much?"
Jibai's current piano art is at the level of twenty-five years old, and she has won all the proofs and awards she deserves. It must be a world apart from her seventeen-year-old self.
"It may be that I practised more diligently during this time."
"It's good to be diligent. I like diligent children. Come and sit with grandma."
Jibai sat down obediently and took her grandma's hand. Before the change, she must have been unwilling to get close to her grandma. Now she is not afraid.
"I watched the live interview today. What you said on the show is very meaningful. I wanted to come over to see you and listen to your thoughts."
In the last life, grandma came here to ask the teacher for sin, and Jibai fell out of favour in front of her grandma.
The situation is completely different now.
"You said that when you wrestle with the devil, you must also be careful not to become the devil too. What does this mean? Tell grandma."
"Grandma, I don't mean anything else. I think there are two sides to both people and things. People who look good may not be really kind, and things that look bad may not have a good side at all. I hope to be with my sister for mutual encouragement."
The old lady Ji looked at Jibai in surprise. This girl, who had been quiet and had no words since she was a child, had such a high level of consciousness that she had been underestimated in the past.
The old lady didn't like these two sisters very much before. The older sister was too ostentatious, but because she was sick, she was still pitiful; the younger sister was too shy, unaccountable, and not smart enough to become a master.
There are many children in the family, and she has never placed any hope on these two sisters.
Now, the old lady felt a ray of dawn on Jibai's body.
It is too early for everything, and we have to slowly observe and observe.
Old lady Ji took Jibai's hand and said, "Very good. I practise piano more often, read books, and enrich myself, you know?"
"I will, grandma."
At this time, the door of the room opened, and the family, who had just finished shopping, came back lively.
The parents are holding large and small bags, all of which are new clothes and shoes for Ji Feifei.
Seeing the old lady Ji, the parents' faces appeared astonished.
"Mom, why are you here? Why don't you call us and let us wait here? You really shouldn't."
"It's okay." The old lady Ji said, "I'll see the child."
Ji Feifei quickly walked to grandma's side, holding her hand graciously: "Grandma, I'm so happy; you come to see me."
"I'm here to come see Jibai." The old lady Ji took her hand out of her hand and patted Jibai's hand lightly: "This kid did a good job on the show today. I'll come over and chat with her."
Ji Feifei's face sank slightly, but the displeased expression faded away, and her face was immediately filled with smiles: "Then our sisters will chat with grandma together."
The old lady Ji looked at the big and small bags in her daughter-in-law's hands and asked, "I went shopping? Why didn't you bring Jibai with you?"
Tao Jiazhi said, "This kid went out for dinner with friends."
"Then I must have bought her new clothes."
Tao Jianzhi's face changed, and she said embarrassedly, "A lot of clothes have to be tried on the upper body. It is not easy to buy without being with us for nothing."
Granny Ji nodded. "So, so many clothes are bought for Fei Fei alone?"
"This..."
Tao Jiazhi didn't understand why the busy Ji Bai would suddenly care about Jibai and was a little caught off guard: "Then I will take Jibai to buy new clothes."
"No, you are very busy at work."
Old lady Ji took out a card from her handbag and handed it to Jibai: "Buy what you want to eat; don't wrong yourself; it's not easy for you."
Of course, the phrase "it's not easy for you" has a special meaning. Ji's old lady feels that Ji's family owes Ji Bai.
When Ji Feifei saw her grandma handing a card to Jibai, a spark of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
"Grandma, I don't need it anymore."
Ji Mingzhi said, "Grandma gives it to you; you can accept it."
When his father spoke, Jibai accepted the card and thanked her grandma.
Later, Tao Jiazhi and Ji Mingzhi sent their mother out and boarded the car together. Jibai leaned on the window sill on the second floor and heard the old lady Ji say to her parents: "Two daughters, don't be too selfish; otherwise, the other will have a grudge. Restless."
"Mom, we didn't feel wronged by Jibai; what to eat and wear; which one is missing her?"
"At the beginning, you said you wanted to have a daughter and donate blood to Fei Fei. I did not agree. This is too unfair to her, but Fei's life is at stake, and I really don't have a better way. In short, you have to know it in your heart. If this is not done kindly, it will eventually damage the yin virtue."
"Mom, there is no other way. Both are my daughters. Can I not hurt? It's just that Fei Fei is sick. I usually prefer her a little bit. This is normal. I believe I will understand in vain."
Ji Bai didn't listen any more; she took out the card and locked it in her small drawer.
The money on the card should not be used indiscriminately.
