Although there are servants in the villa, all three meals a day are prepared by Mother Shen.
"Let's stew a duck," Shen Wangshu said hastily.
“You don’t eat duck.” How could Mother Shen not know her daughter’s taste?
“Ah Xuan likes to eat it,” Shen Wangshu said matter-of-factly.
After holding back for a while, Mr. Shen asked jealously, "Does Shushu still remember what Daddy likes?"
"Steam another fish." Seeing her father's impatience, Shen Wangshu smiled.
Father Shen subtly puffed out his chest, his eyes narrowing into slits with a smile.
"He's quite old, and he's still jealous." Mrs. Shen flicked Mr. Shen's forehead helplessly, feeling that this man, who was cunning and scheming in the business world, became childish as soon as he returned home.
However, she wasn't naive. She pretended not to hear her daughter's sweet words, "Mom likes mixed vegetables, and I like them the most too," and refused to admit that her eyes had also crinkled with laughter. She went to the kitchen to cook with light steps. Shen's father was pleased with himself for a while. He wanted to show off his happy family life to Xue Xuan, but he wasn't that close to her. He just laughed to himself.
He beamed with joy, and Shen Wangshu felt happy too. Just as she was about to take the quiet Xue Xuan out for a walk, a servant walked in from outside the door.
Before she could even get close, she was stopped by the elite men that Xue Xuan had brought.
"What's wrong?" Shen Wangshu asked loudly.
The maid was stopped from coming over, so she could only exchange a few words with a burly man in black and wait by the door. The burly man strode over and looked at Xue Xuan, who was quietly having his ear pinched by Shen Wangshu and looking at him calmly. His hard, expressionless face suddenly twitched.
However, he seemed to be a well-traveled person, and quickly composed himself, saying in a deep voice, "There are guests outside, who say they are from Ouyang Jewelry." After he finished speaking, he seemed to find the leader's current appearance unbearable to look at, and turned his head away, unable to bear to look any longer.
When did our fierce and ruthless leader become so obedient?
"Ouyang?!" Shen's father, who was secretly pleased, was immediately enraged upon hearing this.
"How dare you come here!" Father Shen only regretted that this was a society governed by law, where assaulting someone was illegal; otherwise, he would have chopped Ouyang Yu up!
He was about to tell someone to close the door and not let anyone in when he heard the loud laughter of an old man outside. "Brother Shen, you wouldn't refuse to see this old man, would you?" He hadn't even been invited in yet, but had already come in by himself.
Shen Wangshu saw an elderly man, though quite old, enter the door with a smile. He was dressed in a red Tang suit and looked very amiable. Behind him were two young men, one dressed in a suit and exuding an elite air, and the other handsome and refined, with an elegant demeanor, though his face was somewhat pale and his steps were a little unsteady.
Of course, this is understandable. After all, Shen Wangshu's kick was quite hard, and it's already remarkable that he was able to walk over in such a short time.
Shen's father's face immediately darkened.
The old man was none other than the helmsman of Ouyang Jewelry, Old Master Ouyang. He was a legendary figure, said to have been penniless back then, risking his life to travel to the China-Myanmar border, where he amassed a huge fortune. Moreover, he seemed to have learned many skills in identifying raw jade from the Burmese people, and he rarely made a mistake in selecting raw jade. He was also adept at scheming, and gradually built Ouyang Jewelry into a large enterprise.
Although he is now very old and even his grandson holds an important position in the company, he has not relinquished his power. All changes involving the jewelry company require his approval.
However, he was much older than Shen's father, and Ouyang Yu had previously arranged a marriage between him and the Shen family. Now, calling him "Brother Shen" was a bit of a generational difference.
Taking advantage of his age, he didn't care about his father's expression and walked in with a smile, but was stopped by the big man brought by Xue Xuan.
"What is this?" He was old and experienced, and he could naturally tell that these big men had a different aura. The murderous aura and bloody smell on their bodies were not fake, and his face showed surprise.
Shen's father watched with satisfaction as Old Man Ouyang was blocked outside, and suddenly felt that Xue Xuan, who hadn't asked anyone to let Old Man Ouyang through, was actually quite good.
When Shen Wangshu saw that an outsider had entered, she released Xue Xuan's ear and only held his hand.
"No matter what, the marriage should be settled in the end." This is not a marriage alliance that can be called off by a junior like Shen Wangshu; it involves two major families.
Shen Wangshu had to make a clean break today, severing all ties with the Ouyang family to prevent them from trying to drag her into this again. Seeing Xue Xuan frown, seemingly unwilling, she leaned close to his ear and said with a smile, "Only after we've cut all ties can I marry you." This wasn't ancient times, so she boldly blew a breath into Xue Xuan's ear.
Xue Xuan's ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He stared at the grinning Shen Wangshu with eyes that could practically devour him for a long time before finally managing to move and cross his legs once more.
He held Shen Wangshu's hand in his own, letting her feel his boiling temperature.
Although somewhat reluctant, he nodded slightly and ordered the three to be let in.
Grandpa Ouyang then laughed twice.
His voice was booming, and he was remarkably robust for his age, appearing even more sturdy than his grandson, Ouyang Yu. He strode over to Shen Wangshu's father and sat down unceremoniously. Seeing that Xue Xuan was sitting with Shen Wangshu, a look of surprise crossed his eyes, but he dared not treat Xue Xuan with the same disrespectful attitude he had shown Shen Wangshu's father. Instead, he smiled respectfully, saying, "Master Xue's presence here is truly an honor for the Shen family today." He seemed unaware that Xue Xuan had cut off Ouyang Jewelry's supply and enthusiastically requested, "If Master Xue doesn't mind, the Ouyang family..."
