First Sister Nan Xin called out once more when she noticed that Nan Hua had stopped embroidering.
Nan Hua raised her head and looked at Nan Xin. How can I possibly blame your father for what happened?
Nan Xins eyes widened slightly. Upon hearing Nan Hua say your father and not just father, it appeared to her that this young girl didnt want to acknowledge Nan Shu Cheng as her own father too. It was logically understandable, considering what she had gone through all these years.
Even though Nan Hua called Nan Shu Cheng as her father from time to time, it was clear that she only did that when there were outsiders. There was not even an ounce of feeling left when she called him that way.
It was as if the address shouldnt have belonged to anyone in Nan Huas life.
Which was why she only uttered it out as nothing more than perfunctory.
First Sister, do you mind if I stay here? Nan Xin asked carefully.
Nan Hua didnt answer and simply lowered her head to continue embroider. She didnt have any intention to talk with Nan Xin and naturally, she didnt really want to play along with this brat.
Nan Xin gritted her teeth and decided to stay. She had asked her servants to prepare her embroidery equipment, so she also stayed there to do her embroidery. It was a present for her father, so she indeed had to continue it.
Though, normally, she would not spend all day long to embroider.
Thus, a strange scene appeared in front of the servants. The two young misses, who were not really in good terms with each other, sitting side by side on the garden. The two of them were busy embroidering on their own.
It was a strange view.
From time to time, Nan Xin would talk about some matters. From talking about the recent rumors until talk about other matter in the household.
First Sister, I dont think you have visited all the other buildings in the residence, right? How about if you pay a visit to my quarter later on? My quarter is closer to the library, so you can also take a look at the books there, Nan Xin suggested as she racked her brains, trying to think of anything interesting.
Nan Hua didnt even turn her head as she answered, Alright.
Nan Xin was speechless. She only said this because she thought that Nan Hua might be interested in the books, but she didnt expect that Nan Hua would truly accept just like that. it seemed that she had to make sure that she would have the permission to enter the library ready first.
Even though her mother asked her to be close to Nan Hua, Nan Xin didnt really like to stay here. She had talked so much yet Nan Huas answers were nothing more than one words answer. At times, she didnt even bother to answer and continued to ignore her.
How difficult.
When it was time for dinner, Nan Xin finally left.
Xiao Yun brought Nan Huas food to her room. Miss, are you going to let Second Young Miss to stay close to you?
Nan Hua took the chopsticks. Children personality is not set in stone.
At that answer, Xiao Yun was feeling a bit speechless. Nan Xin was only a few months younger than Nan Hua, but why did it sound as if Nan Hua was already an adult when she said this? However, Xiao Yun would definitely not say anything to Nan Hua at this moment.
She also knew that Nan Hua was correct. Many childrens personality was not completely set. Even adults could change because of some life changing experience, what was more were the children.
They grew up based on the way they were raised.
Though, Xiao Yun honestly doubted that Nan Xin would be up to anything good when she was trying to get close to Nan Hua. Since Nan Hua seemed so nonchalant, Xiao Yun silently decided that she would watch over Nan Xin more carefully whenever that brat come over.
And it did happen.
Nan Xin visited Nan Huas Quarter from time to time, bringing her embroidery and worked on it beside Nan Hua. She would talk about some things and her way of talking seemed as if she was only sharing a story that didnt expect any answer.
It continued that way until Nan Xin told Nan Hua that it would be their fathers birthday party in two days.
Theres a dinner together tonight. Nan Xin folded her finished embroidery and glanced at Nan Huas. She silently wondered whether Nan Hua would give any of the embroidery that she worked on for her father. However, the thought only crossed her mind and Nan Xin didnt try to explore it any longer.
Have you prepared any present for Father, First Sister?
I have.
Nan Hua had asked Xiao Yun to buy some books that might be useful for Nan Shu Cheng. It didnt need to be expensive and even the ordinary ones are fine. As long as she showed that she was still a filial child, it should be fine.
I see. I thought that youll need help. Nan Xin smiled. Mother had ordered some new dresses for us. They should arrive tomorrow.
Nan Hua nodded.
Ill be going first, First Sister.
Nan Hua didnt answer and Nan Xin walked away. It was clear that Nan Xin had long gotten used to Nan Huas indifferent attitude that she didnt take it to her heart anymore.
When Nan Xin had left, Nan Hua also stopped her embroidery. Tonights dinner should be interesting.
Xiao Yun helped Nan Hua up while her mind was thinking about what Nan Xin had said. She felt that there was something that Nan Xin was implying through her words, but Xiao Yun understood nothing.
Nan Hua didnt take long to dress up and headed to the table for dinner. She noticed that the atmosphere was tense.
It seemed that Madam Qu was not quiet at all.
She still pulled some strings here and there even though the power to manage the household is not in hers.
