Source: Mr. Sheng, Madam, She Became Globally Famous for Her Fortune Telling
"Yeah." Song Yanxi nodded and said casually, "He came here with Xihe."
Just a few simple words, although not said explicitly, but the meaning was very clear, Song's parents' faces looked a little unhappy.
"How did he get together with Xie Xihe?" Song's father said unhappily.
Song's mother was not very happy either.
Although she was not particularly fond of Sheng Shijing as her son-in-law, Song Yi had already sent someone to subtly inquire about this matter with Mr. Sheng.
Although the other party did not give a reply on the spot, he should have known it in his mind. How long has it been since then? How come Sheng Shijing is getting involved with the girl from the Xie family?
He actually accompanied Xie Xihe to meet her daughter. Isn't this a clear slap in the face of the Song family?
Do you really think they are easy to bully?
Song Yi quickly suppressed his emotions and waved his hand casually, saying, "Don't worry about this matter. What is Xie Xihe's family background? What is the status of the Sheng family? Since Mr. Sheng intends to hand the Sheng family over to Sheng Shijing, there is no way he would allow him to marry a daughter from such a small family."
"Young people are prone to acting out of turn. We'll be fine once the marriage between the two families is finalized. By then, Mr. Sheng will take care of things without us having to tell him anything."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore and get down to business."
Song Yi said so much just to tell his wife and daughter his judgment, but he was not interested in getting entangled in the love affairs between young people. After he finished speaking, he pulled out a sandalwood box as long as his arm from the side of the co-pilot seat and handed it to Song Yanxi.
"There will definitely be a gift-presenting session at the birthday banquet later. This is the gift Dad prepared. You will represent the Song family to present the gift then." Song Yi said with a deep look in his eyes.
Song Yanxi looked at the box in front of her, her heart moved slightly, and even her eyes brightened a little: "This is..."
Song Yi nodded, confirming her guess: "That's right."
Song's mother interrupted, "You've been back at the Song family for over a year now, and aside from a public banquet a year ago, you haven't appeared before the wealthy families of Kyoto. Now people are saying all sorts of things. This is a calligraphy piece your father spent a lot of effort and money to get, hoping that you can make a stunning appearance and gain a firm foothold in the Kyoto aristocratic circle."
Bai Huaqian reached out and brushed the long hair off Song Yanxi's shoulders behind her. Her eyes were gentle and loving, but if you looked closely, you would find that the love and affection did not reach her eyes.
He smiled and said, "Nannan, your sister has been in there for half a year. We have tried all kinds of methods but to no avail. You are the only daughter your father and I have left. You must behave well and don't let your father and I down."
Song Yanxi's fingertips holding the long sandalwood box trembled slightly, her eyes flickered slightly, and she said with emotion: "I know, thank you, Mom."
Turning to look at Song Yi, he smiled sincerely, "Thank you, Dad."
"I will definitely not let you down."
What the two of them were most satisfied with was their daughter's obedience and understanding, and both of them smiled.

At the same time, in the main courtyard of the Sheng family.
There aren't many younger generations in the Sheng family, but there aren't too few either. The main family and several close branches together number about twenty or thirty, and they are all gathered in Grandpa Sheng's yard.
Sheng Shijing is young but of older generation, and was one of the first few people to pay their respects. At this moment, he was sitting upright in the seat below Old Man Sheng.
But although I was sitting here, my heart was not here, and I would glance outside every now and then.
Sheng Shaoqiong, who was standing nearby, saw this and couldn't help but chuckle. He jokingly said, "You're already home, how can you run away? Why are you so anxious?"
Sheng Shijing glanced towards the door, but still didn't see anyone, so he withdrew his gaze and said lightly, "Yeah."
Um?
Sheng Shaoqiong was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to realize what his "hmm" meant.
I burst out laughing again.
Her nephew, who was so noble and aloof, like a flower on the mountain, was completely ruined.
As he spoke, Sheng Shijing could no longer bear it. He pulled his suit jacket and stood up, saying to Sheng Shaoqiong, "I'm a bit bored. I'm going out for a walk."
Sheng Shaoqiong suppressed his laughter and waved his hand lazily: "Go ahead."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noise coming from the gate of the courtyard, and several familiar voices came into his ears.
Sheng Shijing frowned slightly, and couldn't wait any longer, so he lifted his long legs and walked out.
Sheng Shaoqiong looked around and when he saw that there was nothing for him to do, he stood up and walked out.
At the gate of the courtyard.
Xie Xihe followed Butler Sheng all the way to the main courtyard. As soon as he got closer, he heard a burst of chaotic footsteps, and then several girls appeared in his sight.
Four or five girls, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, were walking forward while playing and joking with each other.
At this moment, the girl running in front suddenly paused. The next moment, she pretended to turn around and deviated from her original direction. The other girls immediately followed.
Xie Xihe looked at the group of girls who appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, his eyes slightly fixed, and he stopped when he pulled Xie Bowen.
Sheng Yanran pretended not to see anyone and rushed towards the two of them.
The three girls behind him were stunned when they saw this, but they quickly reacted and immediately imitated Sheng Yanran, pretending not to see anyone and bumped into him.
The next moment.
Bang bang bang bang!
After four consecutive sounds, the four of them fell to the ground at the same time, looking at Zhu Ming who appeared out of nowhere in confusion.
Zhu Ming breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Xie Xihe and Old Man Xie were not hit. Without saying anything more, he retreated directly behind Xie Xihe.
Butler Sheng was shocked by this sudden change. When he came to his senses, he immediately waved to several servants and asked them to help the three girls behind him. He then went forward to help Sheng Yanran up himself.
At the same time, he muttered, "Young lady, why are you so careless? There are many guests at home today, and there are people everywhere. You are running around with so many people. What if you bump into the guests?"
Sheng Yanran finally came to her senses and immediately became furious. She shook off the old housekeeper Sheng's hand and said with her chin raised, "This is my home. I can go wherever I want and run away wherever I want. Do I need anyone's permission?!"
Old Housekeeper Sheng had watched her grow up and knew her temper too well. He also knew that he had no choice but to go along with her at this moment, so he agreed, "Yes, yes, this is your home, you can go wherever you want, but today is a special occasion..."
What’s special or not special!
Sheng Yanran doesn’t care about all that!
She only knew that if it weren't for the Xie family, her eldest brother wouldn't be imprisoned in the ancestral hall, her father wouldn't be put in solitary confinement, and her mother wouldn't have fallen ill so suddenly!
She just can't stand the Sheng family and just doesn't like Xie Xihe!
