In the blink of an eye, the relationship was broken up.
It's so annoying.
The gentle young man looked at his lover with teary eyes and pitiful eyes.
However, Shen Wangshu was powerless to help.
She could only look at her own mother with the same tearful expression.
However, Si Jiali was no longer a child. She knew that when two people are in love, they don't want to be separated no matter what. But if their feelings faded later, it would become something her daughter would be ridiculed for. Therefore, although Si Jiali felt a pang of heartache, she coldly shook her head and said, "No." She touched Shen Wangshu's little face and said gently, "At least not now." She had to teach her daughter to hold her head high, instead of living in the Dongfang family without dignity or status.
“But I was very happy living there before, the old man was very good to me.”
Shen Wangshu's words almost brought tears to Si Jiali's eyes.
"It's Mom's fault, I'm sorry." She hadn't chosen her eldest daughter and abandoned her youngest; how could she have...?
"Xiao Chun, just listen to your mother, okay!" Nangong Cheng's heart was so happy he could fly. At this moment, he didn't care about anything else. He said to Shen Wangshu very gently, "Don't worry, your uncle and your mother will take good care of you."
"Ah Xiang, are you coming or not?" he asked again with a smile.
In his mind, they could each bring their daughters to live together, and maybe the two girls could even become good friends.
"Hmph, I don't care!" Nangong Xiang turned her head away in disdain, but after a pause, she hummed in the face of Shen Wangshu's smiling gaze, "However, my apartment has been without power recently. Well, since you've invited me so kindly, I'll reluctantly stay for a while."
She didn't even bother to come up with a good excuse; she just said it was because of a power outage. Shen Wangshu couldn't help but want to laugh, but seeing Dongfang Xuan's heartbroken expression, she felt it wouldn't be kind of her to laugh. She simply winked at the boy.
At that moment, the boy and she were of one mind.
"We want to get engaged!" he said hastily.
Now that they're engaged, his Shushu no longer needs to move to Nangong Cheng's villa.
Scarlett's eyes widened.
"I've already accepted Ah Xuan's proposal," Shen Wangshu said with a smile.
"When?!" Scarlett's voice suddenly became very loud.
The girl cupped her face, blushing with shyness, and whispered, "Just now, Ah Xuan gave me a lot of jewelry." She stuffed the jewelry into Si Jiali's hands, and the latter looked at the jewelry in silence.
With so much jewelry, even if it were a young man proposing to her, it wouldn't be enough... Hmm, Madam Nangong wasn't interested in wealth; she was truly in love with her husband and would remain steadfast no matter the temptation. She quickly waved the jewelry in front of Nangong Cheng, and when she received her husband's generous promise, "I'll take you to buy the entire jewelry store tomorrow!", Si Jiali was satisfied.
She nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction on her face.
"Then can I..." stay at the Dongfang family's house?
"Can't."
"Why?"
“You can only move in after we get engaged,” Scarlett said with a cold smile.
“Mom.” Sixin stood to the side, tears streaming down her face, watching them, who seemed like a family, chatting and laughing in front of her. Her heart was breaking; it felt as if there was no place for her in this harmonious atmosphere.
She took a step back and saw Scarlett looking at her expressionlessly when she called out. She tried to hold back her tears, but couldn't. She whispered, "You're gone. What am I going to do?" She looked at her mother with hopeful eyes, but saw her suddenly give her a faint smile.
"Take care of yourself," Scarlett said softly.
That was all she could do.
When Sixin is truly in dire straits in the future, she will definitely give her a way out, but not now.
Only when a naive girl falls and bleeds on this path will she truly discover these mistakes.
Scarlett simply took a step back and looked at her daughter with quiet pity.
What a beautiful and gentle girl she is, but now she seems to be bewitched, or perhaps... this is her true nature?
"I'll ask you one last time, do you want to come with me?" Scarlett asked.
Sixin just cried with tears streaming down her face, but she couldn't agree to anything. As if afraid that her mother would try to persuade her again, she took a step back and moved further away from them.
Si Jiali was extremely disappointed and said nothing more. Dongfang Xuan was already quite depressed, but he still had to appease his mother-in-law, so he eagerly invited the family into the car and left the Nangong family's house. Shen Wangshu sympathized with the young man's pitiful state. Seeing that he was smiling but clearly very distressed, she couldn't help but gently persuade him, "You can live together once you're engaged, so why don't you hurry up and prepare for your engagement?" Seeing the young man's eyes light up, she then sidled up to Nangong Xiang and smiled gratefully, saying, "I'm so happy that A Xiang can live with me."
"A burden, huh!" Nangong Xiang blushed.
As Ah Ye drove, he watched through the rearview mirror as Shen Wangshu busily moved between Dongfang Xuan and Nangong Xiang, seemingly with complete ease. He couldn't quite fathom what she was thinking.
Following Nangong Cheng's directions, he drove to a villa. This villa was indeed very close to the prestigious academy. Although it was just a small villa and had been uninhabited for a long time, it was cleaned and maintained by dedicated staff every day. Shen Wangshu chose a very clean room that was always bathed in sunlight.
