“Sister-in-law!” Ji Qian and Ji Mo looked over when they heard the voice. Both of them blushed in embarra.s.sment.

Shen Hanxing nodded and asked, “Where’s Sir?”

“Sir left early in the morning,” the butler quickly replied. “Before he left, Sir specifically instructed us not to disturb your rest, Madam.”

When Ji Qian heard this, she seemed to have thought of something and her eyes lit up with excitement. She quietly leaned over and asked, “Sister-in-law? Are you very tired? If you’re tired, go upstairs and rest for a while after you eat. I’ll help you supervise Ji Mo’s studies!”

“I’ve always been very conscientious with my studies,” Ji Mo smiled and said without batting an eyelid. “On the other hand, Ji Qian, you just came back from playing outside. I’m going to suggest to the teacher in a while to give you and test and see if your studies have deteriorated recently.”

“I didn’t forget to do my homework even when I went outside to play!” Ji Qian gritted her teeth, her voice almost squeezed out from between her teeth, “It’s just a test, of course, I’m not afraid. However, Ji Mo, you can also take the test together with me and see how much you’ve learned during this period.” Their gazes met, and sparks flew in all directions.

“Then the two of you should obediently study at home.” Shen Hanxing looked at them with a smile. “It just so happens that I’m going out in a while. The two of you shouldn’t be too playful and study hard.”

Go out? Ji Qian and Ji Mo, who couldn’t wait to be by Shen Hanxing’s side 24 hours a day, looked at each other angrily. Since they had already said that they were going to have a test, there was no way to change their words. They could only quietly study at home.

After Shen Hanxing finished her lunch and prepared her things, she drove out on her own. She was going to look for Qiao Xi today. Qiao Xi’s living situation was obviously not very good, and she had also lost her job. It was reasonable for Shen Hanxing to visit her at home. Coincidentally, Qiao Xi lived on the west side of the city, not far from her grandmother’s house. After seeing Qiao Xi, she could visit her grandmother.

Shen Hanxing’s mood was much better when she thought of her grandmother. Walking on the dirty and messy path did not affect her mood at all. The development of the west side of the city had already begun. The slums here were about to become history, but before the development was completed, there were not too many changes. As usual, it was numb and people were oppressed by real life, there were even some people who didn’t have a home of their own in this city.

Shen Hanxing didn’t seem to fit in with the environment here. From time to time, there were people who looked at her with malicious eyes, and there were also people who recognized Shen Hanxing. They greeted her with a strange tone, “Wow, isn’t this Shen Hanxing? I heard that you’ve become a Phoenix living a comfortable life. If you’re rich, you should come back more often. After all, we’re also your neighbors.”

Shen Hanxing had a distant smile on her lips. She didn’t get too close and didn’t say much to them. The address given by Qiao Xi was at the back of the slum. It was a row of dilapidated bungalows. She followed the address and happened to see a man running out hurriedly with a backpack in his arms. He accidentally b.u.mped into Shen Hanxing. When he saw Shen Hanxing’s attire, the man’s face turned pale and panicked. “I-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…”

Shen Hanxing looked at the man. The standard of living in the slums was not high, but this man was dressed in fas.h.i.+onable clothes, which cost at least 1800 dollars. Something was not right… especially the bag in the man’s hand. Shen Hanxing felt that the bag looked familiar, she frowned and thought for a while. Wasn’t this bag carried by Qiao Xi before?

Shen Hanxing instinctively reached out to stop the man and asked with a frown, “h.e.l.lo, I’m here to look for Qiao Xi. May I know where she lives?”

The man’s expression changed. “Qiao Xi? I’ve never heard of this person. I don’t know!” His att.i.tude was very terrible. He waved his hand and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. We don’t have the person you’re looking for here. You’re looking at the wrong place!”

Looking at the wrong place? Shen Hanxing’s eyes darkened slightly. She wanted to ask again, but at that moment, the door of the small courtyard next to her was pushed open. A chubby middle-aged woman stood at the door with a basin of water in her hand. When she saw the man, she greeted him with a smile, “Xiao w.a.n.g, you’re going to cla.s.s? Where’s Qiao Xi? Tell her to come to my house…”

The man’s expression changed instantly. He grabbed his bag and ran away, it was unknown if he was feeling guilty or something. Shen Hanxing did not hesitate to kick the man’s abdomen. With a hint of coldness, she asked, “Where are you going?”

“I… I’m in a hurry to go to cla.s.s. I’m going to be late.” His eyes flickered. He looked at Shen Hanxing and said, “W-what are you doing? Who are you? If you’re behaving like this, I’m going to call the police!”
