Wan Shuxue angrily insisted on going with her father.

On the bus.

Looking at Wan Shuxue, Wan's father was sullen. "Are you still angry about Shi Ning?"

"Baozhu... she lied to me, she lied to me too!"

Wan Shuxue could only think about how she had actually run up to Shi Ning and asked if they should deal with the young lady of the Shi family.

I felt so embarrassed and angry!

If I go up to the person in question and say, "I'm going to target you, I'm going to harm you," do you think that's acceptable? How should I do it?

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

Her father comforted her, "Didn't you also hide your identity?"

Wan Shuxue pouted, "That's different."

"Shi Ning even sent you an invitation. If you had just glanced at it, you wouldn't have..."

Wan Shuxue looked up at her father with a wronged expression, "Who is your daughter, her or mine?"

Mr. Wan originally intended to reason with him.

But then he suddenly remembered what Shi Guoqiang had told him: the secret to reconciling and getting along well with his daughter.

That is to ask yourself every day, "Does your daughter want you today?"

Anyway, it all came down to that one sentence from Butler Zhao: "The young lady doesn't want you anymore."

Then, you should say some sweet things to your daughter, and talk about principles between father and daughter.

If your daughter is wronged outside, you come home and indulge her in everything. Don't you know what kind of personality your own daughter has? You really think she'd let you destroy someone else's family?

Show your daughter that no matter if you are right or wrong, your father will always stand behind you and be there for you.

Thinking this, Wan's father choked on his idea of ​​reasoning and said somewhat awkwardly, "You are my precious daughter. Shi Ning was wrong. She shouldn't have lied to you."

Upon hearing this, Wan Shuxue was stunned for a moment, looked at her father in astonishment, and then awkwardly turned her head away.

Her strict father, who never questioned right or wrong but only taught her principles, actually sided with her and even called her his precious daughter.

Wan Shuxue even wondered if her father was possessed by a ghost.

I heard that Tang Ruozhu, who works with Shi Ning, is quite skilled at catching ghosts. I'll ask her to take a look sometime.

Thinking that Wan Shuxue was still angry, Wan's father said in a deep and stern voice, "Shi Ning actually dared to deceive you! He really has a death wish!"

He took out his phone and pretended to make a call.

"Dad won't let you suffer. You wait, Dad will have someone find a pretext to thoroughly investigate the Shi family and make sure they..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Wan Shuxue hurriedly snatched the phone from his hand, "No! You mustn't treat Shi Ning like this!"

Mr. Wan's face remained stern. "She's lying to you! This is exactly how the Shi family should be bankrupted!"

Seeing that he looked very serious and didn't seem to be joking, Wan Shuxue immediately became anxious.

“I lied first, it’s not just Sister Ning’s fault.”

Mr. Wan said, "Anyway, lying to you is wrong, so let's just go bankrupt."

Wan Shuxue hid her phone tightly. "You are a wise ruler, not a foolish one. You cannot abuse your power. Be careful, or I will betray my own family and report you!"

Mr. Wan almost burst out laughing, but he held it in. "So you forgive her?"

It's true that you have to be friends with Shi Ning for the father and daughter to have such harmonious times.

He had been in contact with Tang Baozhu for a long time, which strained the relationship between the father and daughter.

Shi Guoqiang's "I reflect on myself three times a day" approach is also very useful!

Wan Shuxue hummed, "No, she lied to me after all, so she has to coax me."

Shi Ning coaxed her and gave her a way out, so she stopped being angry with Shi Ning.

...

Once Mr. Wan left, the tense atmosphere of the banquet quickly relaxed.

Everyone knew that the Tang family was gone, so the Xing and Shi families would be the next to rise to prominence, and many people wanted to take the Tang family's place.

Therefore, they were all talking about official matters with Old Master Shi and Old Madam Shi.

Many people noticed the importance they placed on Shi Guoqiang and his daughter Shi Ning, and they all went to talk to them.

Some people even knew that Shi Guoqiang's wife had died and he had been single for decades, and wanted to marry their relatives or daughters to him.

Shi Guoqiang was so frightened that he quickly had someone take a picture of his wife's portrait before her death, and pinned it to his chest.

He would introduce her to everyone he met, saying, "This is my wife. She keeps appearing in my dreams every day, saying that if I dare to remarry, she won't let me be buried with her after I die, and she'll kick me into the River of Oblivion to make sure I'm cleaned up!"

Others: ...

She was considering giving up the idea of ​​marrying her daughter or a relative to Shi Guoqiang.

But some people thought that Shi Guoqiang was a sentimental person, and although he was older, he was caring, and marrying him would not mean a hard life.

I'll try harder next time.

Despite this, people remained enthusiastic and wanted to introduce Shi Guoqiang to potential partners, including widowed, divorced, and unmarried relatives, and even some people introduced their own daughters.

Shi Guoqiang didn't want to deal with it at all, so he simply hid behind Old Master Shi and Old Madam Shi.

He would hide behind whoever could shield him.

Mr. and Mrs. Shi truly experienced what it's like to be parents.

It's like having a son who's been bullied outside, but comes home to find shelter behind you, someone who's there to support him and feel needed. You smile so happily and contentedly.

Everyone looked a few years younger.

Although Jiang Huaijing was his godson, all those shrewd people wanted to curry favor with him, and they all tried to introduce their daughters to him.

Shi Ning was also extremely busy, with all the wealthy ladies and young misses taking turns to greet her and give her their names.

Her head was spinning from listening, and she couldn't remember a single word. She just smiled and nodded, nodding like a chick pecking at rice, until her head and neck were exhausted.

Shi Ning took the opportunity to rest in the garden.

Shi Guoqiang also ran out to catch his breath. The father and daughter sat together, looked at each other, and then smiled at each other.

Looking at the dark night sky, Shi Guoqiang patted his chest and sighed, "If your mother were here, I don't know how happy she would be. She would be smiling more brightly than flowers."

Shi Ning didn't know how to respond, so she just smiled and nodded, "Anyway, Mom is happy."

Shi Guoqiang turned to look at Shi Ning, "Say a few more words to Zhu Yatou, just let me see your mother, let me see her one more time."

"Isn't that girl very capable?"

Shi Ning was also helpless, "Dai'e didn't say yes or no, it's up to her."

Shi Guoqiang pleaded earnestly, "Dad just wants to see your mother one more time. Even if it's just in a dream, I just want to apologize to her and say that I miss her so much."

Finally, he spoke in a very melancholy tone.

Shi Ning felt a little sad listening to this and started thinking about her mother too.

"I won't force Silly Goose to do things she doesn't want to do, and having her appear in dreams as a ghost to meet me in the human world must also be very harmful to her..."

Shi Guoqiang quickly waved his hand, "Then forget it, we can't harm Zhu'er's health for our own selfish desires."

But he really wanted to see his wife.

Shi Ning was helpless; Tang Ruozhu's attitude towards this matter was rather strange.

She was unwilling to make repeated requests and put pressure on Tang Ruozhu.

Good friends are those who consider each other's feelings.

Shi Guoqiang was feeling down because of this, but not wanting Shi Ning to be affected, he asked her, "Where's Qin Heye? The banquet is almost over, and we still haven't seen him?"
