After hearing her words, everyone was silent for a moment before Old Master Su spoke.
"I already knew about your past. As long as you and Zimo work together to make a good life for each other, Grandpa has no objections." Everyone has a past when they are young, and people always look forward.
Seeing that her father had spoken, Qin's mother also spoke up.
"Yes, Shiyi, your fate with Ziming is preordained. Just live your life well from now on." She believed that her judgment of people was sound.
Suning Rong, who had been silent until now, also spoke up.
"It will just be hard on Shiyi, to give birth to a son for the Su family so that he can inherit the Su family business."
Qin Ziming, who was closest to Shen Shiyi, heard everyone's words and excitedly and quietly grasped Shen Shiyi's hand, which was resting on her clothes.
Sensing his actions, Shen Shiyi did not refuse. Seeing that she showed no reaction, Qin Ziming was overwhelmed with excitement.
Grandpa Su then looked at his only grandson.
"Zi Mo, the group needs you. Your grandfather hopes you can retire from the military and take over the management of the group."
Qin Ziming was taken aback.
"Grandpa, doesn't the company have an uncle?" He thought he only had one heir.
Su Ningrong sighed again and spoke.
“Zimo, your uncle’s health is deteriorating and he can no longer handle high-intensity work. Your grandfather is also getting old and is somewhat unable to continue working at the company.”
Qin Ziming looked at her grandfather, whose hair was already completely white, and for a moment she couldn't bear to refuse.
Grandpa Su looked at his future granddaughter-in-law.
"With Shiyi's abilities, she could have taken over the management of the company, but Shiyi was going to get pregnant and give birth. It was tough during that time, and with such a big company to manage, her health couldn't keep up."
Shen Shiyi never expected that the old man would also have the idea of letting her manage the group.
Fearing that she might frighten her son and daughter-in-law, Qin's mother quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Dad, let's eat first, and then let them go back and think about it carefully."
Su Ningrong spoke up at this moment.
"Yes, Dad."
Grandpa Su nodded slightly.
"Okay, let's eat first."
The waiters brought out the dishes one after another. After finishing their meal, the couple said goodbye to their elders. Hand in hand, they went for a walk along the riverbank to enjoy the cool breeze.
"Shiyi, are you really willing to marry me and have children?"
The two remained where they were, and Shen Shiyi looked up at the man beside her.
"After all these years, we always seem to meet again; it must be a destiny ordained by heaven."
Qin Ziming understood her words and tightened his grip on her hand. The two chatted by the river, feeling more relaxed, but as they turned around, they spotted a familiar figure.
"Brother Yunfeng?"
Ji Yunfeng looked at Shen Shiyi with deep affection.
"Shiyi, I never expected to see you here." He had always thought she had sacrificed herself.
When Ji Yunfeng saw the two holding hands tightly, he felt a surge of jealousy. Shen Shiyi noticed his gaze and tried to let go, but the man beside her held her hand even tighter.
"Hello, I am Qin Ziming, Shiyi's fiancé."
Ji Yunfeng saw his outstretched hand, reached out and grasped it. When he heard the words "fiancé," he looked at Shen Shiyi in disbelief.
"Is he telling the truth?" Why is it that he always arrives too late? Why does fate have to torment him like this?
Faced with the direct gazes of the two men, Shen Shiyi felt immense pressure, but in order to make her friend give up, she could only listen to her heart.
"right."
Hearing this, Ji Yunfeng's heart broke. Qin Ziming was pleased with her affirmation, but also heartbroken that she had to say those words.
Ji Yunfeng bid farewell, heartbroken and distraught.
"I have something to do, I'll be going now."
Seeing his lonely departing figure, Shen Shiyi felt a pang of sadness.
Qin Ziming reached out and hugged her arm. "He'll get through this; it's just a matter of time." But the process will be very painful.
Fate was kind to him, not letting him miss out time and time again. This relationship was hard-won, and thankfully, they finally got together.
On the third day, Shen Shiyi, who was watering flowers on her balcony at home, received a call from Grandpa Su.
"Hey, Shiyi, what are you busy with?"
Shen Shiyi glanced at the flowers she had just watered.
"I just finished watering the flowers, what about you, sir?"
When Grandpa Su heard her address, he pretended to be angry.
"Call him Grandpa, it's too formal to call him Grandpa."
Shen Shiyi pursed her lips slightly.
"Grandpa."
Grandpa Su chuckled softly.
"That's right. Do you have time to come over for lunch?"
Shen Shiyi was taken aback. Grandpa Su was afraid she wouldn't agree, so he started to play the sympathy card.
"Sigh, Zimo's older brother is in the hospital, and my uncle is at the company. There's no one to have dinner with this old man."
"Grandpa, tell me the address, and I'll drive over."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Su smiled triumphantly.
"I'll tell them to prepare properly. What dishes do you like to eat?"
"Anything is fine. I'm not picky about food except for celery."
Grandpa Su agreed with a smile.
"Okay, okay, then Grandpa will wait for you at home."
Half an hour after Shen Shiyi drove away from home, Qin's mother arrived at her house with gifts.
When Aunt Qu heard the knocking, she went to the entrance and saw a woman with an elegant demeanor carrying gifts through the peephole. She was stunned.
Aunt Qu: That's strange, did this person come to the wrong door?
Seeing that no one answered the door, Qin's mother knocked again. Aunt Qu, seeing this, decided to open the door. Since there were small children in the house, a separate iron gate had been installed, so she wasn't worried.
"May I ask who you are?"
Upon seeing this, Qin's mother immediately spoke up.
"Hello, I am Qin Ziming's mother. I've come to see the two children."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Qu quickly opened the iron gate and let the person in.
"Hello, so you're Zimo's mother. Please come in."
When Qin's mother entered the house, Aunt Qu took the gifts and placed them on the cabinet, warmly welcoming her.
"Please sit on the sofa. Would you like some green tea or black tea?"
Qin's mother spoke in a generous and appropriate manner.
"Anything is fine with me, whatever is convenient for you."
Aunt Qu brewed a cup of black tea and placed it on the coffee table.
"You'll have to wait a bit. Sister Fei is playing with her child downstairs. I'll give her a call."
Qin's mother nodded slightly.
"Okay, thank you for your help."
When Shen Shiyi arrived at Jinxiu Villa, she was stunned when she saw the exquisite garden.
Shen Shiyi: This is even better than the park outside. I hope she didn't go to the wrong place.
Butler Ning Bo got out of the car and came to Shen Shiyi's car. Upon seeing this, Shen Shiyi rolled down the car window.
"Hello."
Ning Bo bowed respectfully.
"Hello, Miss Shen. The old master is waiting for you inside. Please come in with our car."
Shen Shiyi nodded and followed closely. A few minutes later, they arrived at a detached villa.
"Miss Shen, we've arrived."
Shen Shiyi swallowed hard and followed Uncle Ning inside. Grandpa Su was sitting on the sofa; he smiled kindly at Shen Shiyi's arrival.
"Please sit down."
Shen Shiyi nodded slightly. After chatting for a while, Grandpa Su asked Wang Ma to show Shen Shiyi around.
"Grandpa, I'll go visit first."
After Grandpa Su nodded, Shen Shiyi followed Wang Ma on the tour.
