Indeed, although some things looked simple, not everyone could master them easily.
Jing Yao felt that she was already very careful, but in less than half a minute, a piece of paper was rendered useless.
Seeing this, Shen Zhao smiled. “Sigh, looks like Yaoyao is at the same level as me.”
Jing Yao did not speak, but it could be seen from her slightly pursed lips that she was actually a little embarrassed at this moment.
Seeing this, Sun Jia’s heart immediately ached. “This paper cutting is a skill. It’s already very impressive for a newbie not to cut her hand.”
Sun Lu also liked this niece-in-law very much. She added, “That’s right. We learned from our mother back then. We would cut our fingers nine times out of ten.”
Shen Yu sat on the sofa and was speechless. According to his understanding, Mom and Little Auntie were only four or five years old when they learned from Grandma. Moreover, Grandma kept praising them for their dexterity.
It sounded like they were trying to comfort Jing Yao.
However, he didn’t say anything. Otherwise, if he made Jing Yao unhappy, his brother would skin him alive when he came back.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a click.
Zhu Ling threw the scrap of paper in her hand into the trash can with a cold expression. Then, she said calmly, “This is indeed quite difficult. I often used scissors when 1 learned fashion design in the past, but 1 still feel very stiff cutting them now.”
The corners of Shen Yu’s mouth twitched. How could he not tell that Zhu Ling did it on purpose?
No, wasn’t Zhu Ling a little too good to Jing Yao? He had never been treated like this as her boyfriend.
In the past, he didn’t understand why his brother’s expression changed when he saw Jing Yao and Zhu Ling getting too close. Now, he felt the same way.
It turned out that age or gender did not matter when it came to jealousy.
Sun Lu patted the back of Zhu Ling’s hand with a smile and said, “It’s fine. Lingling can cut it well even though she just started learning. She’s already very good and talented.”
Shen Yu nodded quickly and said sincerely, “Yes, Lingling cuts them the best.”
“…” The others.
Just close your eyes and praise her.
Shen Zhao rolled her eyes at her brother and couldn’t be bothered with him anymore.
The time before dinner passed in the cutting of paper. During this period, Liang Xun even called Sun Jia because he was worried that Jing Yao was still asleep and he would wake her up.
Sun Jia knew her son’s personality. She said a few words and handed the cell phone to Jing Yao.
Jing Yao took the cell phone and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. There were two recliners there. She sat down and slowly chatted with Liang Xun.
“Did you sleep well during your afternoon nap today?” Liang Xun’s voice was a little coaxing.
Jing Yao’s ears heated up and she hummed softly. Actually, she did not fall asleep as quickly as before when she lay in bed today. Instead, she thought for more than 10 minutes before falling asleep.
Liang Xun thought about it the most. He wondered where he was and if he had to drink a lot at dinner parties.
“Don’t drink too much tonight,” Jing Yao said.
Liang Xun agreed, but he was a little uncertain. If it was anyone else who persuaded him to drink, he would definitely avoid it. However, it would be a little difficult if it was Jing Yao’s two uncles.
Originally, this meal was for Zhang Jing and a few of his colleagues. However, they had just received the news that Zhang Ji was going too.
Liang Xun could roughly guess Zhang Ji’s intentions.
One of the Zhang brothers was in politics and the other was in business. They were both scheming. However, although the eldest brother was scheming, he knew how to put on an act. The second brother was different.
It was said that he was also a carefree person when he was young. He was very good at pranking people.
When Liang Xun heard that he was going to attend, he got Gu Yu to buy hangover medicine. Although it was not very useful, it was better than nothing.
The two of them chatted for a full hour. It was only when it was almost time for the dinner that Liang Xun reluctantly hung up under Gu Yu’s urging gaze.
While the two of them were talking on the phone, Sun Jia and the others did not go over to disturb them. Seeing that the two of them looked like they missed each other after not seeing each other for a few hours, Sun Lu could not help but smile and say to Sun Jia, “Their relationship is really good. It’s really like what others say a day apart feels like three years.”
Sun Jia nodded with a satisfied smile. “That’s good. Liang Xun is a family man. He did better than his father in this aspect.”
Mr. Liang, who had returned from work the entire day, heard this when he entered. The corners of his mouth twitched. He suddenly regretted agreeing to his son to go to the company for him for a few months..
