"Dad, you called me."
Grandpa Shi Ran sat in front of the desk with a stern face, watching Uncle Shi Ran come to him.
Uncle Shi Ran seemed to have anticipated why he was called to the desk. He stood quietly without even sitting on the chair.
"Let's just forget about the marriage between Shi Guang and the Song family."
"You can't do that."
Uncle Shi Ran shouted excitedly.
"Are you going to disobey my orders now?"
Grandpa Shi Ran's eyes became fierce.
But he didn't back down.
"Time is my son."
"I'm an old man, but I'm not dead yet. It's not your turn to make the decision. Family marriages should be decided by the individual. If Shi Guang doesn't want to get married, just lock him in the room. Forcing him like this will only backfire."
If it was Shi Ran's grandfather's choice, then it would never happen that the Shi family and the Song family would be linked together.
He disagreed with Shi Guang's marriage, and it wasn't just because of this. More importantly, he thought of Shi Chuan and Shi Ran.
The tragedy that occurred when Shi Chuan and Shi Ran's mother were separated caused Shi Ran to have a miserable childhood, and he felt guilty about it.
This kind of thing must never be allowed to happen again in the Shi family.
Therefore, Shi Ran's grandfather firmly opposed marrying against one's will.
The Shi family is no longer in need of business marriages.
"Dad, I just made the best choice for time. This is a good opportunity."
"A good opportunity?" Shi Ran's grandfather slammed the table with a bang. "Tell me clearly, is this for Shi Guang or for yourself? It's your good opportunity, right?"
"That is..."
"Don't you know who the Song family is? Is this the best thing to do for your child?"
Grandpa Shi Ran was angrier than ever.
Uncle Shi Ran always made mistakes, big and small, but he had never been so angry as he was this time.
"dad."
"I've always turned a blind eye to your shortcomings because you're my son. However, even if you were my son, I wouldn't tolerate sacrificing my own children for personal gain. This is my final warning."
Uncle Shi Ran felt a chill down his spine due to the oppressive gaze.
He didn't say anything else, just nodded and walked out of the study.
【This is the final warning.】
These words exploded in his ears, but he had no intention of just obeying them.
Shi Ran secretly climbed onto the balcony to talk to Shi Guang.
Click!
With a loud bang, the bedroom door suddenly opened.
"dad?"
Shi Guang saw his father appear at the door and his eyes widened in surprise.
Shi Ran wanted to hide, but she was seen on the balcony the moment she opened the door.
So, I just pretended I had done nothing wrong and stood there honestly.
"What are you doing?"
Uncle Shi Ran yelled angrily.
"dad!"
As he spoke, he had already arrived in front of him and rushed towards Shi Ran.
The first one to react was Shi Guang. As an older brother, he stood in front of Shi Ran and wanted to protect him, but he was grabbed by the collar and pushed to the ground.
"Dad, listen to me first." Shi Guang fell to the ground and said anxiously: "It's my fault, all of it. It has nothing to do with Shi Ran. I was the one who got her involved."
At this moment, strong sparks burst out from Uncle Shi Ran's eyes.
He stared at Shi Ran, as if everything was Shi Ran's fault.
"It must be you!" He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "You must have said something in front of the old man, otherwise, how could he not agree to the marriage."
Shi Ran said nothing, and had no idea that her grandfather did not agree with the marriage.
If grandpa doesn't agree, then this matter will be easier to handle.
"Uncle, don't you understand? Grandpa doesn't agree with the marriage with the Song family at all. I never told Grandpa about it from the beginning to the end. Don't think so much of me. I can't make Grandpa change his mind."
Shi Ran spoke calmly, not at all afraid of his uncle's fiery eyes.
"You damn girl, it must be you who's behind this."
"If that's what you think, then I don't have much to say. Whatever you say is what it is. However, I only found Shi Guang because I felt sorry for him. A grown man, marrying someone he doesn't even like, how pathetic!"
"Shut up!"
The moment Uncle Shi Ran shouted, he raised his hand and slapped Shi Ran in the face.
This was an action that Shi Ran had not anticipated. He had no time to dodge and was slapped hard.
Shi Ran turned his face to the side and tasted blood in his mouth. From the slap just now, his teeth had bitten the flesh at the corner of his mouth.
"Shi Ran..."
Shi Guang shouted in surprise.
Shi Ran secretly wiped the corner of his mouth.
"Pooh!"
Shi Ran's uncle spat.
"Dirty girl, you dare to ruin my son's future, you are so self-righteous."
He was not at all relieved. He reached out and pinched Shi Ran's neck, then backed away and hit his waist against the balcony railing.
He looked like he was going to strangle her and talked about what it felt like to push her off the balcony.
"Dad." Shi Guang hurried over to stop him and explained: "It has nothing to do with Shi Ran. I don't want to get married. I really don't want to get married. Dad, don't force me anymore."
Uncle Shi Ran angrily let go of Shi Ran and pushed Shi Guang away forcefully.
My neck throbbed when my fingernails scratched it, but it was only one-tenth as painful as the slap on the face.
Shi Guang hugged his father tightly.
"Let Shi Ran go, it has nothing to do with her."
Shi Ran touched his neck with his fingers, looked at his fingers, which were stained with blood, and sneered.
"My dad couldn't bear to hit me, but I never expected that all the injuries were caused by my uncle's family." Shi Ran sipped a mouthful of blood, raised his eyes that were filled with oppression, and said, "Uncle, I'm a rebellious person. I like to do things that others don't allow me to do and cause trouble for others."
Her eyes are very similar to the old man's eyes.
Especially the angry look in the study just now.
"Shi Ran, you deserve to die! Die outside. I should have killed you when you showed up!"
She suddenly laughed out loud a few times.
"I'm sorry I couldn't make your uncle happy. Don't worry, uncle. There will be many more things that won't go as planned in the future. Don't worry."
She finished speaking in a sarcastic tone and glanced down at Shi Guang.
Without another word, he walked past the two of them and left the room.
As soon as I stepped out of the door, I heard my uncle yelling and cursing at Shi Guang from inside the room.
Shi Ran ran into Shi Yan who was walking over.
"Why did you come to see Shi Guang?"
Shi Yan stopped her from leaving.
"It's none of your business."
"You must have encouraged him not to get married. How could such an obedient person refuse such a good marriage?"
"Shi Yan, you too."
"What?"
“The present time is your future self.”
After saying this, Shi Ran, with a cold face, passed by Shi Yan who had not yet reacted.
