"Grandpa Shi, please feel free to speak your mind!"

"Alright, Shi Zhan is a special case in the Shi family. His mother passed away a long time ago, and his relationship with his father is very strained. His father and his current wife have a son and a daughter, so Shi Zhan rarely gets any love. Sigh... that's about it. Oh, by the way, I heard from the housekeeper that you've already met Xingyue, and she has a very good impression of you!"

"Yes, I've already met her, and I like her very much!"

Grandpa Shi nodded and continued,

"Therefore, although some things are inconvenient to talk about, the Shi family still feels guilty towards Shi Zhan and his mother. So, I have always doted on Shi Zhan since he was a child. I have plans for his upbringing and future, especially his marriage!"

When Grandpa Shi got to this point, he stared intently at Youyou's changes. Looking at Wu Youyou's calm and composed demeanor, he held her in even higher regard.

Unbeknownst to Wu Youyou, when she heard Grandpa Shi talking about Shi Zhan's marriage, it felt like a stone was stuck in her heart. She knew that Grandpa Shi would not agree to her being with Shi Zhan, but her experience of living two lives made her calm enough. Wu Youyou calmly looked at him and waited for him to continue.

Grandpa Shi first praised Wu Youyou,

"Shi Zhan has excellent taste; you're a wonderful girl! It's just a pity you can't be with Shi Zhan!"

Wu Youyou finally waited for the other party to bring up this topic. She knew that marriages in large families were usually based on weighing interests first. She could only blame herself for being too weak, so weak that the other party didn't even consider her. At this point, Wu Youyou was already somewhat displeased, but out of consideration for the fact that the other party was Shi Zhan's grandfather, she still spoke politely.

"Grandpa Shi, Shi Zhan is an adult now. He should be able to make his own decisions. You should listen to his opinions and respect his personal thoughts!"

"Of course, don't worry, I'll talk to him. Now let's talk about our business!"

"us?"

"Yes, as long as you agree to break up with Shi Zhan and never have any contact with him again, you can ask for anything you want, such as money or power!"

Wu Youyou couldn't help but laugh. Her laughter grew more and more relaxed, unlike the tension she had shown when she came in. She smiled and said to the old man,

"It is said that the Shi family is the most powerful of the four great families. The other three families are, in principle, subordinate to the Shi family. Sometimes they even have to give face to the Shi family. Therefore, the conditions you have offered must be very tempting. They can be said to be conditions that others dream of!"

Grandpa Shi thought Wu Youyou was really interesting. If he hadn't already taken a liking to Wei Ziyao, this girl in front of him would have been his favorite. Unfortunately, things can't always be perfect!
