Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

Shan Lai was completely sleepless. All she wanted was to return to Country K tomorrow and see him again.

She was thinking about him while painting, and she couldn't hide the smile on her lips.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but when Shanlai rubbed his sore eyes and looked out the window, it was already dawn.

She looked at the finished painting and frowned in dissatisfaction. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't capture that feeling.

Maybe, after seeing the class, things will be different.

"Knock down."

"Miss, the gentleman and the mistress asked you to come downstairs for breakfast." The voice of the housekeeper came from outside the door.

Shanlai looked out the window and then realized that it was already dawn.

After packing up his painting tools, Shanlai immediately ran to open the door.

"Good morning." Shan Lai said politely, leaning forward slightly to show his friendliness.

"Good morning, miss."

"Madam said that you must have been so happy that you couldn't sleep last night because you knew you were going back to Country K today. You can have breakfast and rest for a while later."

"The flight from the airport will take off only after you have rested well." said the butler respectfully.

"OK, thanks."

"I wish you a pleasant stay." The butler said this with a smile and left.

After the butler left, Shan Lai breathed a sigh of relief.

When she first came to the house, her food and daily life were taken care of by the housekeeper, who always had a stern face and never smiled.

She was frightened by the sight and never dared to look him in the eye.

Later, her aunt told her that the butler used to be a mercenary and came to Denghe to work as a butler after retiring. He had a hostile temper that could not be hidden at all, no wonder she was afraid.

She came to the window and looked at the painting on the easel, "Good morning, Lei," and reached out to stroke the eyebrows of the person in the painting. She was in a very happy mood.

I'll see you soon.

After quickly washing up, Shan Lai went downstairs.

In the hall downstairs, there was a row of servants standing.

Directly in front of the servant was an absurdly large dining table, which was filled with a variety of breakfasts, both Chinese and Western.

"Dad, Mom." Shanlai leaned over slightly as a greeting.

Deng Heyin put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at her with a smile, "Shanlai, come over and have breakfast. Today we have your favorite coconut buns."

"Okay." She trotted to sit next to her father. Opposite her was her aunt Dong Shen.

No, now it should be called mother.

"Look at your dark circles. You must have been so excited last night when you found out you could go back to Country K right away. You must be so happy." The well-maintained middle-aged woman opposite teased.

Shanlai was eating a coconut bun, mumbling something, then nodded.

"Look at you. I know it."

Although Dong Shen complained, he still handed her the glass of milk because he saw that she was eating so quickly.

"Shanlai, this time when I go back, I will introduce you to people from other families." Deng Heyin said casually, then picked up the coffee on the table and took another sip.

Shan Lai was really shocked by his words at this moment, and choked just after taking a sip of milk.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..." Shanlai coughed violently.

Dong Shen ran over to her distressedly, reached out his hand and patted her back gently, then glared at someone who had just put down the newspaper in his hand with dissatisfaction.

"Why did you say it at dinner time instead of earlier? Look at you. You even made our daughter choke."

Deng Heyin felt helpless. As for his daughter Shanlai, he loved her just as much as Dong Shen did. How could he bear to do something to hurt his daughter?

After a while, Shanlai stopped coughing and stood up to look at his father in front of him.

"But I'm not, Dad."

"It's nothing. You are the only daughter of your mother and me. Everything I have will be inherited by you in the future." Deng Heyin said as if it were a matter of course.

"Your mother gave birth to you at the risk of her life, not to let you doubt yourself. I, Deng Heyin's daughter, have set my eyes on the prince of Kingdom K's royal family, but your father still thinks he is not worthy of you." Deng Heyin became more and more angry as he spoke, as if Shanlai had already set his eyes on the prince of Kingdom K's royal family.

Shanlai looked at his mother, whose expression was the same as his father's.

Okay, pull...

They thought so, but the prince might not be interested in her...

"Okay, just remember that you are the daughter of your mother and me. Apart from your mother and me, no one has the right to touch you." Deng Heyin snorted.

Looking at his father's expression, Shanlai swallowed.

She respects and fears her father.

What I admire is his calmness no matter what big or small things he encounters, but what I fear is the stern face he sometimes has.

When it comes to her education, her father adheres to the idea that strict teachers produce excellent students.

When I was a child, there were many private tutors at home. All of them had some say in various fields, but most of them had one characteristic, which was that they were very strict.

It was Dad who asked them to do this.

Of course, what she learned did not disappoint her teachers, and she was their favorite student.

She is also the only daughter whose tone is filled with pride and honor when her father introduces her to others.

Dad loves everyone in his house to the extreme.

"Eat breakfast first, or it will get cold later." Deng Heyin looked at the dazed man and shook his head helplessly.

"Oh, okay." Shanlai calmed down and continued to eat breakfast.

"Everything has been arranged in Country K. When you go there, your uncle will pick you up at the airport."

"This time, we are sending you to receive local education. Although you grew up with us in Country M, your education should include the influence of your home country."

"As a human being, you must not forget your roots." Deng Heyin said meaningfully.

Shanlai paused for a moment while holding the coconut bag, but still nodded.

Dong Shen patted her shoulder and sat down opposite her.

"Shanlai, we are not with you this time. When you get there, you will no longer be a young lady who has everything handed to you. You will have to do many things by yourself. Don't blame dad and mom for being cruel. Everyone has to go through some hardships." Dong Shen's eyes became red as he spoke.

Shan Lai didn't feel anything at first, but when she saw the tears of the person opposite her, she suddenly felt a little distressed.

She knows that her parents are really doing this for her own good.

It's just that when it comes to self-reliance, she will naturally not forget what she knew before.

Deng Heyin looked at his wife with red eyes, but finally said nothing.

It would be better to let my daughter go out by herself, so that she won’t be like a naive fool. Useless people should not live in this world.

What's more, if the young masters and young ladies from these big families don't have some tricks up their sleeves, sooner or later they will be eaten up by others without leaving anything behind.

If you can't even protect yourself, how can you expect to protect this huge family business?

"I've found a school for you. It's the best aristocratic high school in Country K. You'll have to rely on yourself from now on." After Deng Heyin said this, he got up from his chair and walked upstairs.

Looking at his father's back, Shanlai clenched the cup in his hand.

"Don't worry about him. Your father just can't bear to leave you." Dong Shen looked at the person walking upstairs, feeling both amused and helpless.

The mother and daughter talked for a while, and seeing that it was almost time, Shan Lai asked the housekeeper to take her to the airport.

Her luggage was not very big, just some ordinary clothes and a few paintings she had drawn.

The flight from country M to country K was very long, and she recalled many things from the past on the plane.

I hope you don’t miss it this time.
