Chapter 625: Cold as Ice
Shen Tian randomly picked out a set that looked more pleasing to the eye and sent the photo over.
"That's it. Please help me with the moving tomorrow."
[Okay, Mr. Shen.]
I had just finished taking a shower when the doorbell rang.
Seeing that it was Xiao Muzhen and Shi Yiheng, surprise flashed in Shen Tian's eyes.
"Zhenzhen, why are you here?"
Xiao Muzhen handed over the invitation and said with a smile, "I'm here to invite you to our engagement ceremony."
A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Tian's eyes, and she hesitated for two seconds before accepting the invitation.
"When did you... decide to get engaged?"
"It's just recently. You must come that day."
"Of course, even if it's a big event, I will go and participate."
Xiao Muzhen smiled and said, "We still have to deliver the invitations, so we won't bother you anymore."
After seeing the two off, Shen Tian looked down at the red invitation in her hand, looking a little dazed.
She didn't expect that after Xiao Muzhen and Huo Yunting had been entangled for so many years, this would be the result.
But as long as it is Xiao Muzhen's choice, she feels happy.
After delivering the invitations, Xiao Muzhen sent Shi Yiheng back to the Shi family.
Just as she was about to leave, the Shi family's housekeeper suddenly said, "Miss Xiao, the master asked you to stay for dinner tonight."
Previously, because Shi Yiheng's leg injury was caused by Xiao Muzhen, Shi Xingguo had always disliked Xiao Muzhen and never treated her well, so he was a little surprised to hear what the housekeeper said.
Shi Yiheng held her hand and said softly, "Zhenzhen, if you don't want to stay, don't force yourself."
Feeling the warmth coming from the palm of his hand, Xiao Muzhen lowered his head and looked at him, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"It's okay, I'll stay tonight."
Xiao Muzhen pushed Shi Yiheng to continue walking inside, wondering why Shi Xingguo asked her to stay.
If it was Shi Xingguo who accepted her, she would not believe it.
As soon as the two walked into the living room, they saw Shi Xingguo sitting on the sofa with a sullen face.
"Have all the invitations been sent out?"
"Well, I will arrange the engagement party myself, so you don't need to worry about it."
Hearing Shi Yiheng's indifferent tone, Shi Xingguo's eyes flashed with anger, "Nonsense! You are my son and the president of Shi Corporation. I will arrange the engagement banquet. Besides, your injury hasn't healed yet, so you should get some rest."
After saying that, Shi Xingguo stood up and left without even looking at Xiao Muzhen.
Shi Yiheng frowned but said nothing.
In the evening, the servant served the dishes and called Xiao Muzhen and Shi Yiheng to have dinner.
Shi Xingguo had a document to sign urgently, so when he walked into the restaurant, Shi Yiheng and Xiao Muzhen were already sitting at the dining table.
"There's no manners at all. He's sitting at the table before the elders even arrive!"
While speaking, his eyes were always on Xiao Muzhen.
Xiao Muzhen raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Shi Xingguo was planning to set rules for himself?
She was about to speak when Shi Yiheng, standing beside her, spoke in a cold voice, "I also want to ask you, you invited Zhenzhen to dinner, but now the guests are all at the table, and you, the host, haven't even arrived yet. What kind of rules are these?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Xingguo's eyes suddenly turned cold and he said angrily, "Shi Yiheng, don't forget who injured your leg. And since this woman wants to enter the Shi family, she must abide by the Shi family's rules from now on!"
Shi Yiheng smiled and said, "You seem to have misunderstood one thing. She is marrying me, not the Shi family. As for the Shi family's rules, she doesn't have to abide by them. If you really can't stand it, we won't set foot here again."
"you!"
Shi Xingguo pointed at Shi Yiheng, his eyes wide open with overwhelming anger.
"Are you going to piss me off to death?!"
Shi Yiheng's expression didn't change at all. "You're the one who's causing trouble for yourself. If you hadn't messed up the rules and treated Zhenzhen well, I wouldn't have made you angry. She's my wife, not a servant, and you have no right to tell her what to do."
"Okay, this woman hasn't even walked in yet, and you're already talking to me like this just for her. What if she walks in?!"
Shi Xingguo stared at Xiao Muzhen with hatred in his eyes, as if he wished Xiao Muzhen would disappear from this world immediately.
Xiao Muzhen curled his lips, thinking that he was shot even when he was lying down.
But now that things have come to this, if she doesn't add fuel to the fire, it would be a bit ungrateful.
She smiled and said slowly: "Uncle Shi, if you really don't like me, my engagement with Yiheng can be postponed..."
Shi Xingguo: “…”
"I won't postpone the engagement. If you really can't accept Zhenzhen, you don't have to come to our engagement party."
Unexpectedly, Shi Yiheng would completely side with Xiao Muzhen. Shi Xingguo was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"That's just nonsense. I'm your father. If I don't go to your engagement party, what will others say?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Yiheng's expression became extremely sarcastic.
"In the past twenty years of my life, you never showed up when I needed you, and I managed to survive. It's just a few idle words, I don't care."
"That was all in the past, and I've tried my best to make it up to you. What else do you want?!"
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to remind you."
Shi Xingguo left the restaurant angrily.
Xiao Muzhen looked at Shi Yiheng and frowned, "It's not good for you to be so angry with him. I don't want my actions to affect the relationship between you and your son."
Shi Yiheng picked up a piece of fish for her and said calmly, "There is no relationship between him and me, and it won't affect me. If he dares to give you a cold shoulder in the future, just fight back and don't put up with him."
"Don't worry, I'm not someone who suffers losses."
"That's right, let's eat."
After the two finished their meal, Xiao Muzhen stayed for a while and then left.
As soon as the person left, Shi Xingguo came out of the study, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Let's talk."
Shi Yiheng's expression was icy as he pushed his wheelchair back to his room. "I have nothing to discuss with you."
Shi Xingguo stopped him and frowned, "I am your father after all. Although I did wrong to you and your mother before, I have tried my best to make amends since you returned to the Shi family. Do you really want to make things so awkward with me just for a woman?!"
"First, no matter how much you compensate me, you can't make me forget all the hardships I went through, and my mother's death. I will never forgive you. Second, you are the one who caused the rift between you and Zhenzhen. To me, she is the most important person. Between you and her, I will always choose her."
Shi Xingguo's eyes flashed with disappointment, "Do you hate me so much?"
"If you were not infertile, you wouldn't want to take me back to the Shi family, so shouldn't I hate you?"
