Chapter 108: Shi Tongxue is quite well-behaved.

Shi Yuanxing took her hand and kissed it.

He is truly grateful to his parents-in-law for their kindness and love, which has given him such an independent, strong, kind, and loving wife.

"Mrs. Shi, please take me with you from now on. Let's help more people in need together."

Qin Shuzhi asked, "Doesn't the Shi Group have its own charitable organization?"

I heard that every year the Shi family invests a large sum of money in charity to support people in need in various fields.

“What belongs to the group belongs to the group, and what we do ourselves is our own business. There is no conflict between them.”

Qin Shuzhi thought about it and agreed; there's no harm in doing too much charity.

“Okay, I have a bank card specifically for donations, and I deposit money into it every month. You can deposit some every month too... Oh, or we can open a joint account…”

“No need, just use your bank card and deposit it here,” Shi Yuanxing said. “Money matters are originally under my wife’s management.”

"good."

Qin Shuzhi nodded.

Thinking of something, she suddenly sighed, "Sometimes I feel that life is really fragile. Just a few days ago, the math teacher who teaches our classes suddenly fainted during class. After being sent to the hospital, he was diagnosed with a tumor. Fortunately, it was discovered early and it was benign, but he looked several years older all of a sudden."

Recently, his classes have been taught by other teachers.

"Therefore, while we help others, we must also pay attention to our own health. Only when we take good care of ourselves can we have the ability and energy to help more people."

"Yes, Teacher Qin is right. I will listen to Teacher Qin from now on."

Seeing him so well-behaved, like a diligent student listening attentively to a lecture, Qin Shuzhi couldn't help but tease him:

"Student Shi is quite well-behaved."

Student Shi?

Seeing the woman's finally relaxed expression, Shi Yuanxing felt that being "Classmate Shi" had been worthwhile.

The next evening.

Grandma told the two of them to go home for dinner.

Qin Shuzhi and Shi Yuanxing only found out when they got home that Shi Qingman and Qiao Wenbo were also there.

Even Shi Hongzhen, who rarely arrives home on time, returned before dinner.

At the dinner table.

Although Shi Qingman still had a cold face towards Shi Yuanxing, perhaps because Shi Hongzhen was there, she didn't say much and just ate her meal quietly.

Qiao Wenbo, on the other hand, was very good at creating a lively atmosphere, and would often find some lighthearted topics to ease the tension.

Qin Shuzhi and her grandmother also struck up a conversation in a very polite manner.

Shi Yuanxing's attitude was lukewarm, not so much so that it made the situation awkward, but he didn't show much enthusiasm either.

Shi Hongzhen is a man who can't stop talking about work. Whenever he speaks, the topic immediately turns to official business. It is at times like these that Shi Qingman will eagerly join the conversation.

Qin Shuzhi discovered that Shi Qingman was truly dedicated and hardworking in her work. No matter which project or issue Shi Hongzhen raised in the company, she could respond immediately and provide professional analysis and opinions.

He was very expressive in front of Shi Hongzhen.

In contrast, Shi Yuanxing didn't say a word about work-related topics, only occasionally putting food or soup on Qin Shuzhi's plate.

Seeing that Shi Hongzhen glanced over several times with displeasure, Qin Shuzhi couldn't help but secretly tug at Shi Yuanxing's hand under the table, signaling him to watch his attitude.

However, he seemed oblivious to her hints, completely ignoring the father and daughter discussing business over there.

After dinner, Qin Shuzhi found a secluded corner and whispered to him, "Dad had a dark expression while we were eating. He was probably upset because you were so focused on eating that you weren't paying attention to company matters."

Seeing the worried look on her face, Shi Yuanxing raised his hand and gently tapped her head. "This is home, not the company. We're back to have dinner with Grandma, you know?"

Qin Shuzhi, "..."

"But……"

Before she could say anything more, a servant came over and said, "Young master, the master wants you to go to the study."

Qin Shuzhi's heart skipped a beat.

Is he going to find someone to criticize him?

Shi Yuanxing responded to the maid, then turned around and met the woman's worried eyes. He couldn't help but chuckle and pinched her cheek, "What are you worrying about?"

"I'm going to go now, I'll come back to find you later, you go play with Grandma first."

Shi Yuanxing instructed, "Don't say anything to anyone else, understand?"

Qin Shuzhi was taken aback for a moment, realizing that the "others" he was referring to were Shi Qingman.

He probably still remembers the time she burned her hand.

"Yes, I know."

After Shi Yuanxing went upstairs, Qin Shuzhi returned to the living room to look for her grandmother, but she didn't see her. Instead, she saw Qiao Wenbo sitting alone at the coffee table, brewing Kung Fu tea.

Qin Shuzhi paused, and just as she was about to turn around and leave, a voice came from behind her, "Sister-in-law."

Qin Shuzhi had no choice but to turn around and reply with a smile, "Eh."

Qiao Wenbo smiled politely and invited, "Would you like a cup of freshly brewed black tea?"

Qin Shu knew that Shi Yuanxing didn't like him very much, so he didn't want to have much contact with him.

"Thank you, but I can't sleep at night if I drink tea, so I won't waste such good tea." She politely declined.

"Enjoy your meal, I'll go find Grandma."

"Grandma is in Qingman's room now, she should be coming down soon."

Qiao Wenbo stood up and invited again, "If you're not in a hurry to find your grandmother, you can sit here for a while."

Qin Shuzhi nodded. "Okay."

Refusing again would be a bit deliberate and impolite.

Qin Shuzhi sat down, and Qiao Wenbo poured her a glass of warm water.

"Thanks."

Qin Shuzhi accepted the drink with both hands and politely took a sip before putting it down.

"Feel sorry."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuzhi looked up at him in astonishment.

"I'm so sorry that you got hurt because of what happened to me last time." Qiao Wenbo looked at her apologetically. "Actually, I've always wanted to apologize to you in person."

After a pause, he spoke up for Shi Qingman.

"I also hope you won't blame Qingman. She actually... meant you no harm."

"I know it was just an accident that day," Qin Shuzhi smiled. "Besides, I didn't take it to heart, so you don't need to apologize."

"Sister-in-law is generous and beautiful, no wonder she likes you so much during her journey."

Qiao Wenbo chuckled and joked, then paused and added, "By the way, I heard from Grandma that you two aren't planning on having a wedding?"

"Yes."

"Why?" Qiao Wenbo looked at her curiously. "You and Yuanxing are a perfect match. If you were to get married, it would definitely be a celebrated story in Jiangcheng."

Before Qin Shuzhi could speak, voices could be heard coming from the spiral staircase.

"Remember this: from now on, you are not allowed to touch anything in my room without my permission. No matter what the reason, if it happens again, Grandma's pleas will be useless. She will just have you removed from the Shi Mansion."

Qin Shuzhi turned his head and saw Shi Qingman and the butler coming down.

Upon hearing her words, the butler quickly replied, "Don't worry, Miss, I will personally take care of your room from now on, and I guarantee there won't be any more problems."
