194: Chapter 194 Private Event

"Hmph! So you finally know to come back!"

Sister-in-law lifted her pointed chin, skillfully placed her hands on her slender waist, and stood proudly on the table, greeting her brother-in-law as he walked out of the elevator.

However, this time she had changed into a pair of white over-the-knee stockings, along with a JK miniskirt and a small shirt, giving off the overall vibe of a Japanese high school student.

However, when she saw Sister Wenwen walking out behind her brother-in-law, her little face turned red instantly, and she quickly jumped off the table by herself.

She stumbled a bit upon landing.

After all, she had only left a tracking device in the maybach and hadn't gone too far by leaving a listening device, so she didn't know that her brother-in-law had brought Sister Wenwen back with him.

Meng Yawen covered her mouth and laughed, making Sister-in-law's face turn even redder in embarrassment.

"Little sleepyhead, what time did you get up?"

"I got up before noon!"

Sister-in-law said this with such righteous indignation, as if she weren't talking about sleeping in until noon, but rather waking up bright and early.

"Did you eat lunch?"

"Of course I did. I even made lunch for those two lazy women of yours! They just left not long ago."

She had expected her brother-in-law to at least blush, but she didn't expect that Zhao Xiaoshuai's skin had thickened to the point where it was the thickest part of his entire body; he remained completely unfazed.

Chu Xinyi rolled her large eyes and saw that Sister Wenwen just pursed her lips, showing no major reaction.

She now had a brand-new understanding of their relationship.

Zhao Xiaoshuai knew the two women had left; after all, the cars in the underground garage were gone, and he wasn't stupid. However, he was surprised that Sister-in-law had actually cooked for them. When did they get so close?

Not wanting to dwell on these trivial matters, he checked the time and quickly urged Sister-in-law to get ready: "Then you go get ready, let's head out as soon as possible."

"I've been ready for a while, I'll go change my clothes."

Jingyue Ski Resort.

Chu Xinyi looked outside quietly through the car window and asked with some confusion: "Huh, is this ski resort closed today? Why is there no one here?"

Today, the Jingyue Ski Resort was unusually deserted, with only an occasional person driving in, only to drive away again after a short while.

This was all because Jingyue Ski Resort had announced its closure for today on its official website and at the main entrance several days ago.

For any visitors who arrived unexpectedly today, the resort would gift each person a small souvenir and send them on their way, minimizing the negative impact of being closed for the day.

All of this was because the entire ski resort had been booked by Zhao Xiaoshuai for the day.

The ski resort officials originally didn't want to agree to such an unreasonable request, but he paid way too much.

"Today, the entire ski resort belongs only to us! Of course, some staff members are here to keep the equipment running, but just don't get too close to them."

"Yay! Sister Wenwen, you have to teach me properly in a bit."

"No problem. Your athletic ability is so good, you'll definitely learn quickly."

Before today, Zhao Xiaoshuai had already purchased a set of well-fitting skiing gear for Sister-in-law, from the outfit to the boots and snowboard.

However, this time he didn't pursue luxury brands but instead purchased from more professional skiing brands.

The ski suit was mainly from Helly Hansen, and the snowboard was from Burton. Under Meng Yawen's suggestion, he bought a snowboard for Sister-in-law.

The vast ski resort was completely empty, appearing somewhat spacious, but it also offered a sense of unbridled freedom.

"Whee! Hahaha!"

It was Sister-in-law's first time at such a large ski resort, and without a word, she rolled around on the ground a few times.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaoshuai couldn't help but chuckle. "What are you doing? You're almost an adult; aren't you embarrassed?"

"I'm testing whether falling down hurts! You know I'm most afraid of pain."

"And what's the result?"

"It's great! Falling on the snow here doesn't hurt at all! Sister Wenwen, hurry up and teach me how to ski!"

While his girlfriend was explaining the basics to Sister-in-law, Zhao Xiaoshuai vanity-riddenly took the cable car to the top of the slope, wanting to show off his skills to Sister-in-law.

In reality, he was just a dabbler, relying entirely on his superior physical fitness to maintain his balance.

So when he slid down the snow slope slowly with his feet in a simple, unadorned pigeon-toed stance, Sister-in-law didn't even spare him a second glance.

"So ugly."

Meng Yawen's assessment that Chu Xinyi had excellent athletic ability was completely genuine.

Chu Xinyi had only heard the basic explanation once, watched Meng Yawen demonstrate it once, and then the second time she was guided down, she had already naturally learned it.

Zhao Xiaoshuai smacked his lips, sighing once again that comparing people really drives others crazy.

When he first skied, he had been trembling with fear and had struggled just to slide down smoothly.

Yet, in Sister-in-law's debut, she had started to draw inferences about other cases halfway through, changing her movements mid-run to slide at different speeds.

"Hahaha, this is so much fun!"

If time could turn back, the young Chu Xinyi would never have imagined her current cheerful self.

There was one thing Chu Xinyi had always kept hidden in her heart and never said out loud.

When she was in elementary school, she was actually similar to how Chu Ziqing was at the very beginning.

Because her father was very busy and almost unable to discipline her, and the teachers were just going through the motions and failed to play an enlightening role.

So, in elementary school, she was also an isolated child who was ostracized by her classmates.

But back then, Zhao Xiaoshuai suddenly appeared.

He loved her by extension, and the care and attention he bestowed upon the scrawny little Chu Xinyi completely saved her.

It was also then that she truly felt she was loved, which gave her the strength to walk out of the darkness.

After that, she had the opportunity to become more and more mature, allowing her to understand her father, forgive her teachers and classmates, and ignore her carefree, thoughtless sister.

And that led to the mentally mature and strong version of her that could enter the online world, absorbing nutrients faster and more recklessly to grow into who she is today.

Father Chu's unique method of education helped his two beautiful daughters avoid the vast majority of temptations and dangers that could be encountered on the path of growing up, allowing them to reach adulthood relatively normally.

But in contrast, they also lost a large portion of the brilliant youth they should have had.

It must be said that Chu Ziqing's subsequent rebellious loss of direction was partly due to her experience of being isolated during her junior high and high school years.

Although Chu Xinyi was mentally far stronger than her sister and handled interpersonal relationships better.

She still lost many of the experiences that children of this age group should have had.

Despite having outstanding athletic ability, during recess, she could only stand silently by the classroom window, enviously watching her classmates racing around the playground.

Despite being very popular and receiving the adoration of many classmates, she had to refuse most opportunities to stand out, choosing to continue being that mysterious, all-powerful, somewhat over-endowed, straight-A student who only silently observed from the corner.

Her youth had always been incomplete.

But her heart was complete.
