The Shi family.

"I'm home!" Shi Xi entered the living room. "Is anyone home?"

"Oh? Xixi? Why are you back?" Mother Shi asked with a delighted expression. "Why didn't you tell me beforehand? I would have had your brother pick you up!"

Shi Xi smiled and said, "Brother is busy, I can come back by myself."

Shi's mother looked her daughter up and down: "Why have you lost weight again? Have you not been eating properly?"

"..."

After a long chatter, people finally came home.

"Xixi? When did you get back?" Shixu raised an eyebrow: "Why didn't you tell me beforehand? I could have picked you up."

"No need, I'm not a child anymore." Shi Xi saw Shi Xu return and pushed him upstairs. "I have something to talk to you about, let's go upstairs and talk."

Timing: ?

After entering the study, Shi Xi closed the door and sat down opposite Shi Xu.

"What's wrong? Can't we talk on the phone? Is it worth flying back?" Shi Xu leaned back in his chair, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Don't tell me it's because of Xie Yunzhou!"

Shi Xi: "...I just felt more at ease in Fengcheng than in Yanjing, so I came back."

"Someone is bullying you? Xie Yunzhou can't help you?" Shi Xu hit the nail on the head.

"It's not about bullying her, I just don't want to confront her directly." Shi Xi had other ways to ensure the filming went smoothly.

The timeline is clear: "Is that person very rich? Or very powerful?"

Shi Xi could only nod.

In fact, whether it's a roundabout report, public opinion fermentation, or using connections with the Hua family... the crew can continue filming.

However, this would inevitably distract Xie Yunzhou.

Now is a critical moment for the Xie Group, and she doesn't want to distract Xie Yunzhou because of her own affairs.

That's why she returned to Fengcheng.

After listening to Shi Xi's narration, Shi Xu seemed to be deep in thought.

"For someone of Yan Linlang's status, Xie Yunzhou still dared to confront her; his courage is truly commendable," Shi Xu commented.

Shi Xi: "I came back to ask you if there's any way I can help Xie Yunzhou?"

Shi Xu thought for a moment, "Can't the Hua family lend a hand?"

“I’m worried they’ll take the opportunity to annex the Xie family,” Shi Xi sighed. “Even if Hua Xuanhe doesn’t have that intention, it doesn’t mean everyone else is willing to help the Xie family.”

"So you came to me?" Shi Xu tapped the table with his index finger and said, "Have you tried contacting anyone else?"

Shi Xi shook her head, "I only have connections in the entertainment industry, it's useless."

After thinking for a while, Shi Xu reassured him, "I think you don't need to worry. Xie Yunzhou is a cunning man and he definitely has more tricks up his sleeve."

"What if there isn't one?" Shi Xi asked him.

Timeline: "At worst, he'll go bankrupt and become a live-in son-in-law, and you won't have to marry outside the family."

Shi Xi was speechless: "I came back specifically to discuss this with you, and this is all you say?"

"Yes," Shi Xu said frankly, "I'm not in Yanjing, so there's nothing I can do but comfort you."

Shi Xi: ...I really can't help at all!

Shi Xu smiled faintly and said, "Instead of worrying about others, why not go out for a stroll and clear your mind? You don't want everyone to worry about you, do you?"

Just then, Shi Xi's phone vibrated.

It was Xie Yunzhou calling.

"I'll take this call first." Shi Xi's eyes curved slightly as she took the call and left the study.

Watching his younger sister's retreating figure, Shi Xu sighed.

Such a lovely little sister, and now she belongs to someone else.

Sure enough, daughters grow up and leave home.

Shi Xu stroked his chin, thinking that it wouldn't be bad if Xie Yunzhou really went bankrupt.

From then on, Shi Xi lived in the Shi family home, and Xie Yunzhou became her son-in-law.

Hmm.

I'm actually starting to look forward to it.
