She thought that Sheng Yuan would be immersed in her love for Shi Xuan and would not be able to extricate herself, and her heart that pursued Shi Xuan would never change.

She knew that her son disliked Sheng Yuan, but she never forced Shi Xuan to accept Sheng Yuan.

But when Xuan treated Sheng Yuan coldly and then dated another woman, she looked understanding and comforted Sheng Yuan, constantly giving Sheng Yuan hope.

She expressed explicitly and implicitly that as Shi Xuan's mother, she particularly recognized Sheng Yuan. Since she was so optimistic about Sheng Yuan, then Sheng Yuan should insist on liking Shi Xuan. Otherwise, Sheng Yuan would be immature and would let her down.

Kali is selfish.

On the one hand, she was reluctant to make things difficult for her own son, which would naturally embarrass Sheng Yuan.

On the other hand, there is the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, Sheng Yuan. Her attentiveness has made Shi's mother gain a lot of face in the circle of aristocratic families.

As for Sheng Yuan's sad situation, Shi's mother pretended to be a kind elder on the surface, but in fact, she was just watching the fire from the other side of the river, turning a blind eye and a deaf ear.

She still felt very at ease and continued to enjoy Sheng Yuan's kindness.

so.

Even after Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan got engaged, Shi's mother remained calm.

Even though he was jealous of that annoying little bastard getting connected with the Sheng family.

But at the same time, Shi's mother was sure that as long as she treated Sheng Yuan as usual, without any effort, and spent a little more time to comfort her.

Sheng Yuan will regain confidence in her love for Shi Xuan and will call her "Auntie" affectionately, and that little bastard is destined not to cause any big waves.

But now.

Shi's mother was beaten so hard on the face by her past certainty that it became swollen.

It started with Sheng Yuan’s first family dinner at the main house.

Everything began to change subtly——

Sheng Yuan no longer sent her expensive haute couture dresses and priceless jewelry to please her, and even the daily concern and care for her disappeared.

At that time, Shi's mother still acted like an elder for a while, waiting for Sheng Yuan to continue to please her.

Of course, she didn't wait.

This result made Shi's mother panic for a moment, but only for a moment. She quickly calmed down and decided to take the initiative to find Sheng Yuan.

He condescended to personally instruct the servants to go to the Sheng family and invite Sheng Yuan to have afternoon tea together. Usually, Sheng Yuan would come to the house.

Soon, Shi's mother received a reply, but she didn't expect it to be a rejection! It was not just a polite refusal, but a flat rejection.

The reply was polite and apologetic, leaving no room for fault.

But the meaning behind her words was obvious. From now on, Sheng Yuan would no longer accept any invitations from her mother.

This matter soon spread among the wives of wealthy families.

Kali began to get restless.

However, in just a few days, Sheng Yuan seemed like a different person, so cold that Shi's mother felt uneasy.

What made her even more frightened and caught her off guard was Sheng Yuan's concern for Shi Yan.

Change comes so quietly.

The subtle and even contemptuous look in the eyes of the Shi family's servants when they looked at Shi Yan disappeared without a trace without them noticing.

Instead, there was the servility and servility that one should show to a distinguished young master of the Shi family, with both respect and fear.

And then after what the old man announced at the lunch today.

Who in the entire Shi family would dare to look down on Shi Yan? -In front of the European-style French window on the first floor of the building, the beveled glass window was pushed open.

There were two or three servants outside who were trimming the excess branches and leaves in the green belt. They were chatting quietly while working, and their tone was light: "Just now when I went to the garden to get tools, I saw the young master and Miss Sheng over there."

"Yeah, I saw that too. It's very cute."

"But the young master didn't seem to like the kitten very much. The kitten kept trying to climb up by grabbing his trouser legs, but the young master refused to touch it and said to Miss Sheng--"

"say what?"

I don’t know what the funny thing was, but the servant started laughing before he even started talking.

The two people beside him hurriedly urged him, and the man smiled and cleared his throat, as if he wanted to imitate someone, with a slightly tense face: "He pointed at the cat and said to Miss Sheng, didn't you come to see me, why did you bring it."

As soon as he finished speaking, several servants chuckled in surprise: "Young Master, are you saying that? Young Master actually said such a thing."

"Oh my God, is this because a kitten is jealous?" They couldn't imagine the aggrieved look on the young master's cold face, his worldly and humane appearance, and the muffled voice when he spoke to Miss Sheng. They had no idea of ​​that at all.

"Then what did Miss Sheng say in reply?"

The servant deliberately kept the conversation a secret and paused for a moment: "Miss Sheng directly carried the cat to the sun room next door, closed the door, and then turned around to continue talking to the young master."

The servants of the main house had just seen the white kitten. In the living room, Miss Sheng was sitting on the sofa, holding it in her arms, and it was obvious that she doted on it very much.

But it still couldn't resist the young master's words.

When several people heard this, they covered their mouths and laughed.

We chatted for a while longer.

The topic of conversation all revolved around the young master and Miss Sheng. Everyone referred to Shi Yan as the young master with a respectful attitude, as if they were treating Shi Yan as a member of the main family of the house.

suddenly.

As they were talking, they felt a chill on their heads.

The conversation stopped abruptly.

Someone looked up slowly and his expression changed drastically.

Then she lowered her head, buried it very low, and spoke in a panic: "Husband, Madam."

At some point, Shi Mu stood in front of the window.

Her cold and gloomy face frightened the servants. They stopped what they were doing and thought to themselves that something was wrong.

Madam has always regarded the young master as a thorn in her side and is the person in the Shi family who hates the young master the most. I don't know how much of their idle chat she heard just now.

They only knew that they must not say a word about the young master in front of the lady.

Kali was indeed in great rage.

He had been holding back his anger for a long time, and when he happened to run into these servants who came to his door, he naturally wanted to vent his anger on them.

He was about to utter a reprimand with a cold face, but was interrupted.

"Mother."

A tall man in a shirt and trousers, with deep facial features, walked behind Shi's mother.

Seeing her son coming, Shi's mother immediately remembered something important, but she still turned around and lectured the servants severely, not even asking them to trim the plants, and told them to stop being an eyesore and get as far away as possible.

The servants were terrified and naturally did not dare to delay. They quickly retreated in silence.

Shi Xuan sat on the sofa with an expressionless face.

"Mother, what do you want from me?"
