Chapter 357: Reunion of Sisters
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Song Yu took the exquisitely designed invitation from Sang Qianqian’s hands and was rather shocked.
He was even more in disbelief when he saw the signature of a famous artist on the invitation.
Because this International Exhibition was only held once every three years in China, the selected paintings were all masterpieces of famous artists, and tickets to the exhibition were hard to get.
Song Yu had once asked a few of his friends for a ticket, but the price had already been inflated by scalpers, and he could only sigh in disappointment.
Who would have thought that not only did Sang Qianqian give him a ticket, she even told him that his painting had been selected and that this famous artist wanted to meet him!
“Miss Sang, thank you, thank you!”
Song Yu was so excited that he was incoherent.
Of course, he knew that no matter how good his work was, just based on his qualifications, it was impossible for him to be chosen by the art exhibition. Sang Qianqian must have put in a lot of effort behind this.
She politely waved her hand. “You’re the one with outstanding abilities, not me.”
After the car had gone far away, Song Yu was still standing by the road, waving in the direction of the car.
Ruan Xiaoshuang held Sang Qianqian’s hand tightly and said softly, “Qianqian, I know that you helped Ah Yu because of me. Thank you.”
Sang Qianqian did not deny it.
No matter how capable Song Yu was, she wouldn’t rashly use Old Lady Zhen’s connections to help someone she had only met once.
The only reason she was willing to spare no effort to help him was because of Ruan Xiaoshuang.
In the Xie family’s residence, Xie Shi’an had been waiting for a long time.
Sang Qianqian only said that she would be coming to the Xie family tonight to treat Ruan Xiaodie, and that she was bringing someone he must be looking forward to.
No matter how hard he thought, he could not figure out who Sang Qianqian was bringing with her.
To be honest, other than her, there was no one else he had high hopes for.
However, when the car drove into the Xie family’s villa and he saw Sang Qianqian helping Ruan Xiaoshuang out of the car, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning and froze.
“I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn’t tell you in advance,” Sang Qianqian said with a smile.
“This is such a big surprise.”
The corners of Xie Shi’an’s eyes were a little moist. ‘Sister Xiaoshuang, it’s great that you’re still alive.”
A familiar voice rang in Ruan Xiaoshuang’s ears, and her tears immediately gushed out. “Shi’an.”
The two of them recalled the night Ruan Cheng died, and many emotions welled up in their hearts. They were speechless and choked up.
“Brother Shi’an!”
A soft voice rang out. Everyone turned around and saw Ruan Xiaodie coming out of the living room. She was standing at the door and looking at them curiously.
She was wearing a cute pink princess dress, and her long black hair was draped behind her. She looked extremely beautiful, but when she saw all of them turn around at the same time, she obviously shrank back.
“Xiaodie, do you still remember me?”
Sang Qianqian smiled and greeted her. “I’m Big Sister Qianqian.”
Ruan Xiaodie’s big, grape-like eyes blinked as she thought hard for a while. She seemed to have realized something as a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. “Big Sister Qianqian!”
Her eyes fell on Ruan Xiaoshuang and she was a little confused. “Who is this sister? I seem to remember her.”
Before the Ruan family’s incident, Ruan Xiaoshuang would go abroad to see her sister every few months.
However, after Ruan Cheng’s death, the two sisters had not seen each other for more than half a year.
At this moment, hearing her sister’s words, Ruan Xiaoshuang’s tears fell even more fiercely. She groped for Ruan Xiaodie’s hand and cried silently.
Ruan Xiaodie was a little confused. She looked at Xie Shi’an, then at Sang Qianqian, and asked innocently, “Why is this big sister crying? Even Xiaodie doesn’t cry.”
Xie Shi’an touched her head. “Yes, Xiaodie is the most obedient. Let’s help Big Sister into the house, okay?”
Ruan Xiaodie happily responded and pulled Ruan Xiaoshuang into the living room. “Brother Shi’an bought me many toys. I’ll let you play with them, so don’t cry.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang tried hard to hold back her tears, but she couldn’t help it. She choked, “Yes, Big Sister won’t cry.”
She didn’t know if it was because of Ruan Xiaoshuang’s memory or because they were related by blood, but Ruan Xiaodie didn’t show fear when she saw her sister. Instead, she was very obedient.
Even when Sang Qianqian coaxed Ruan Xiaodie to take her medicine and undergo acupuncture treatment, she cooperated well.
After she had fallen asleep, Sang Qianqian quietly walked out.
‘Til come for regular checkups and acupuncture every week. She has to take this medicine on time every day for this month.”
Sang Qianqian handed the medicine she had brought to Xie Shi’an and heaved a long sigh. “I was worried that Xiaodie would be scared when she saw the silver needles. I didn’t expect her to be so well-behaved today. She’s performing better than I’ve ever seen her before.”
Xie Shi’an carefully kept the medicine and smiled. “It’s mainly because of Sister Xiaoshuang that she’s so obedient.”
Sang Qianqian also smiled. “That’s true. After all, they’re biological sisters.”
‘Tve tidied up the room. Sister Xiaoshuang, you can stay here tonight.”
Xie Shi’an said to Ruan Xiaoshuang, “If you don’t want to stay here, you can go back to the Ruan residence. It’s the same as before. Nothing has changed.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang was silent for a long time. “Shi’an, I’m not staying at your place. And I’m not going back to the Ruan family’s residence, either.”
Xie Shi’an was slightly startled, but he immediately said considerately, “If Sister Xiaoshuang wants to move to another place, it’s fine. I’ll get someone to arrange it in the next two days.”
“I have a place to stay.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang said softly, “Shi’an, I can’t see now. I’ll have to trouble you for a while. When my eyes recover in half a year, I’ll bring Xiaodie over.”
Xie Shi’an was pleasantly surprised. ‘Sister Xiaoshuang’s eyes can be cured? That was a good thing! I have no problem with taking care of Xiaodie, no matter how long it takes. However, you don’t have to live separately from her.”
He misunderstood Ruan Xiaoshuang’s words and said, “Sister Xiaoshuang, you know that there are no outsiders in my family except me. We have always been like biological siblings. It won’t be inconvenient for you to live with me.”
Knowing that Ruan Xiaoshuang’s eyes could be cured, Xie Shi’an was truly happy for her from the bottom of his heart. “When Sister’s eyes recover, I’ll take you back to the Ruan family’s corporation. Although it can’t be compared to before, there are still some assets and businesses left. It’ll be enough to keep Sister Xiaoshuang busy.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang bit her lip. She didn’t respond to Xie Shi’an’s words directly. After hesitating for a long time, she seemed to have finally made a decision as she said, “Shi’an, I’m going to get married. The wedding is in a month’s time.”
Xie Shi’an was stunned and subconsciously looked at Sang Qianqian.
Sang Qianqian nodded. “When Sister Xiaoshuang fell off the cliff, a person had saved her. His name is Song Yu, and he is an artist.”
Xie Shi’an came to a realization. “Then he must be Sister Xiaoshuang’s savior. Why didn’t you bring him here today?”
Sang Qianqian coughed vaguely. “Well, Mr. Song is not free tonight. It’s fine, you can meet him in the future.”
Unexpectedly, Ruan Xiaoshuang didn’t intend to hide it. “I didn’t want him to come. Shi’an, I won’t go back to the Ruan family. You can deal with those assets as you see fit. If you think it’s too troublesome, it’s fine to sell them all..”
