She Drove Down the Hill Herself

She smiled and greeted him before sitting down, "Brother Qi."

Qi Jing raised his eyes faintly, glanced at her without any expression, and nodded slightly coldly, "Yeah."

Then, not sure what went through his mind, he glanced at the chair in front of her and uttered, "Sit".

Although his tone was a little cold, she should still have some etiquette.

"Thanks," she said and sat down.

She had an elegant posture evident among the aristocratic daughters.

It was obvious she came from a well-to-do family.

She had the temperament of a noble daughter, but she did not portray toughness.

She was thin and gave a soft touch. 

Together with her sweet and soft smile, she was an easy target for bullying.

Qi Jing glanced at her lightly and said "please".

"Please" as in "please dig in".

That's all, he didn't speak or glance at her again. 

This was considered politeful for his personality.

Xia Yunshu did not feel that she was given a cold shoulder.

He was already giving her a lot of courtesy considering that she was disturbing him by staying here.

Before moving in, she thought she would be kicked out.

After all, Qi Jing was ruthless and bad-tempered. 

He was hard to get along with. 

In fact, even if she did not stay with the Qi family, she would not be impacted when she returned to China, but she still stayed. As for the reason...

Let's not delve into it.

This meal was exceptionally harmonious.

It was very quiet and no one uttered a word anymore.

After Qi Jing finished eating, he went for a walk in the yard as usual, leaving Xia Yunshu alone.

Xia Yunshu had a sumptuous meal and sat in the living room for a cup of water.

The maid cleared the dining table. 

Aunt Song stood beside the sofa in the living room with a pile of papers and three gift bags.

"Miss Yunshu, these are the relevant materials for enrollment. These two sets are school uniforms. Here is the school bag and stationery prepared for you. There are still a few days before school starts. You can only collect the books then. Considering that Miss Yunshu has lived abroad these years, our local teaching system might be foreign to you. So I prepared some textbooks from junior high to senior high without seeking your authorisation1. They will be delivered tomorrow.

"Miss Yunshu, if you are interested, you can take a look before school starts." 

It was a suggestion, not an order. 

Aunt Song's attitude was very good.

She deserved to be Qi Family's knit-picked housekeeper. 

She was really efficient.

Xia Yunshu arrived at about four in the afternoon, and now it wasn't even eight yet. 

Not only had she liaised with the school, she also completed the administrative tasks and prepared her school uniform and stationery.

Such a housekeeper made her a little jealous.

Xia Yunshu blinked and stared at her. 

There seemed to be an inexplicable light coming from her eyes. 

This made Aunt Song expressionless.

If Aunt Song had a different personality and set of thoughts, she must be a bit speechless at this moment.

She was expressionless, but asked politely without arrogance, "Miss Yunshu, would you like to see it?"

She was referring to the enrollment related materials.

Xia Yunshu walked towards her and glanced at it casually.

"Thanks for your hard work, Aunt Song."

"Miss Yunshu is being polite. If there's no issues, shall I help you deliver these to the room first? The school uniforms are dry cleaned. They are ready to wear when school starts."

 "Ok."

Xia Yunshu took a cup of water to drink, and stared at her back view while she carried something upstairs.

She was still jealous.

Aunt Song always felt that she had a lot of tasks on hand.

She fastened her pace quite a lot.

The next day, Xia Yunshu rinsed up and went downstairs for breakfast. 

Qi Jing had already gone to work.

Xia Yunshu was also going out.

Aunt Song was thoughtful and prepared a car specially for her. 

There was even a designated driver just to chauffeur her. 

She will also be picked up by this car for school next time.

But she did not let the driver send her off today.

She drove down the mountain by herself.

At eighteen years old, she had met the legal age for a driver's license.

The driver's license was issued a few days ago, on the third day after she "woke up".

Of course, the Xia family didn't get it for her, but who would notice it?

The Xia family was in Country Y. 

No one will travel to the Xia family for verification for a trivial matter of a driver's license. 

Xia Yunshu wasn't worried that someone would ask her why a vegetative person who had been lying in a hospital bed for five years had one. 

The Xia family was an excellent shield.
