Jiang Lu knew that the Shi family was rich.

They all drove cars, which looked shabby compared to bicycles. Besides, Shi Qiyun was Shi Wenwen's fourth brother, so there was no reason for his sister to let others send her brother home.

The excuse of wanting to send Shi Wenwen home suddenly disappeared, and Jiang Lu left in shame.

Everyone had left, and she couldn't ride the bicycle. In addition, Shi Qiyun looked a little weird, so Shi Wenwen didn't say much and sat in the passenger seat on her own initiative.

There were only the two of them, and after getting in the car, Shi Qiyun started the car and drove away.

Shi Wenwen exclaimed, "Where are the second and third brothers? Aren't they going home together? If you drive away, how will they get home later?"

"I'll send you back first, and I'll pick them up later." Shi Qiyun said.

Shi Wenwen: "..."

"Otherwise, why don't we wait for them?" Shi Wenwen felt that this was too troublesome.

"Need not."

Shi Wenwen didn't know what was wrong with him today, but she heard his tone suddenly became heavier. Maybe he was upset after seeing Shi Mohuai's wedding?

After all... He Jingzhen seems to be a veteran in the love field, and she is also an actress. She seems to have become more popular in the past two years. She has heard many people talking about her since she came back.

It's not easy to get to this point. I'm afraid she won't easily settle down and get married. Is that why he's worried?

Thinking of this, Shi Wenwen sat quietly, lowering her head and playing with the lovely pink petals on the bouquet out of boredom.

Shi Qiyun glanced at her and realized belatedly that his tone was heavy. She looked more cheerful than before, but in fact she was still as timid as before. She would shrink back when others spoke harshly.

Look, I don’t even have the courage to talk to him. What a coward!

Shi Qiyun was angry and helpless, but the words had already been spoken, so he could only sulk on his own. The two of them had nothing to say to each other all the way home in silence.

Wenwen got out as soon as the car stopped.

In Shi Qiyun's eyes, he seemed like a monster. He immediately became even more unhappy. He followed behind Shi Wenwen and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Don't associate with Jiang Lu!"

Shi Wenwen was thinking about going upstairs to take a comfortable bath and then go to sleep, but she was stunned when she heard Shi Qiyun's warning.

She had just met Jiang Lu tonight, and they had only exchanged a few words. His appearance later interrupted their plan to go home together.

He interrupted her, and she didn't say anything, but he specifically mentioned Jiang Lu now, which made it seem as if she really had something going on with Jiang Lu.

"Jiang Lu and I just met tonight. We just exchanged a few words when you came. What kind of relationship do we have with him? Why should we have any contact?" Shi Wenwen stopped and looked at him with a slightly frown.

Shi Qiyun's brows were furrowed, "Can't you see that Jiang Lu is interested in you? He likes you and wants to pursue you."

"Are you kidding? He saw me for the first time tonight." Shi Wenwen felt that he was unreasonable. Jiang Lu looked like a simple big boy.

Shi Qiyun said, "That's why you don't understand men, and that's why you're easily deceived!"

She knew that he was bringing up the past, alluding to what happened with Gao Yue back then, and from his tone, she knew that he had seen the whole process of Jiang Lu talking to her in the hotel.

Shi Wenwen pursed her lips and her face darkened.

Shi Qiyun bit his tongue secretly and regretted it.

"Let's not talk about the fact that Jiang Lu and I met for the first time today. We are all adults. Even if I do have something with him in the future, it would be a normal development of the relationship. Would that be a crime?" Shi Wenwen frowned and said, "To put it bluntly, this is my emotional matter, my own private matter."

After saying that, without even looking at Shi Qiyun's expression, he turned around and went back to his room.

"Shi Wenwen!" Shi Qiyun called out from behind.

Shi Wenwen turned a deaf ear to it.

Wang Xiaomin and Shi Qingyuan finally returned home after seeing off their relatives and friends. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the two people at the stairs, but they did not hear their conversation.

Thinking they were having a quarrel, Wang Xiaomin asked nervously, "What happened? Why did they suddenly start quarreling?"

Shi Qingyuan glanced at Shi Qiyun and said in a deep voice, "Come in with me."

His sudden change of mood also scared Wang Xiaomin, "If you have something to say, just talk about it. Why are you getting anxious with the child?"

Both the father and the son seemed not to hear her words. Shi Qingyuan walked into the room first, panting. Shi Qiyun paced slowly like a naughty child for a while before finally entering the room.

No one knew what the two of them talked about in the room. Wang Xiaomin planned to hide outside the room and eavesdrop, just in case Shi Qingyuan took action to protect Shi Qiyun and let him leave.

As a result, when they were halfway up the stairs, Shi Wangting and Shi Zengyue came back. A rickshaw took them home, and both of them seemed to have drunk a lot of alcohol.

Wang Xiaomin had no choice but to go back downstairs to take care of them. She made them some honey water, wrung out some hot towels, and then sent them upstairs to sleep.

But by the time she finished everything, Shi Qiyun and Shi Qingyuan's conversation had already ended.

This time, Shi Qiyun was the first to come out. He looked pale and listless, as if he had been severely scolded by Shi Qingyuan. He turned the corner in the corridor and went straight back to his room.

Wang Xiaomin seemed to see his eyes reddened. She walked over to Shi Qingyuan and scolded him, "Children need to maintain their dignity even when they're older. Why are you scolding him? It's normal for children to quarrel occasionally. It will be fine after a few days. Why are you so serious, especially on a good day like today!"

"If he was really sensible, I wouldn't be so angry!" Shi Qingyuan couldn't bear it, but there was nothing he could do. In order to avoid trouble, he had to stop it.

It is better to worry alone than to worry about many people. Shi Qingyuan still did not plan to tell Wang Xiaomin about this matter. He said a few perfunctory words and changed the subject.

…

No one knew what the father and son talked about specifically. Shi Qiyun left home the next day on the pretext of work, and he left very early. If Wang Xiaomin hadn't gotten up to prepare breakfast, no one would have even known he had left.

When Shi Qingyuan learned the news, Shi Qiyun had already been gone for a while, but he seemed to have known the news for a long time and was not surprised at all. Instead, he said, "It's better that he's gone. Staying at home every day would give me unnecessary expectations."

Wang Xiaomin was confused by Shi Qingyuan's words, but she also understood that he used to look forward to his children coming home every day, but now he was looking forward to Shi Qiyun leaving as soon as possible. There must be something happening that she didn't know about.

After dinner, Wang Xiaomin pulled Shi Qingyuan aside to talk. "Answer me honestly. Is something wrong with Qiyun? He and Wenwen had an argument yesterday. Could this be related to Wenwen?"

Shi Qingyuan didn't dare tell this to Wang Xiaomin. She was even more imaginative than him. If she knew how Shi Qiyun felt about Shi Wenwen, she would probably...

Shi Qingyuan had no confidence to guarantee whether this family could still maintain the same happy and harmonious state as it did now.
