She asked the servant again: "Are you sure you saw it right? It's a ring, not some other jewelry?"

The servant answered in the affirmative.

Shi's mother's expression suddenly became gloating, "So, you're here to return the ring."

Returning the engagement ring means breaking off the engagement.

Sheng Yuan did not stay in the Shi family for long. After having a brief conversation with Old Man Shi in the study, she left.

When Mr. Shi went to the restaurant for breakfast, Mr. Shi's father and mother were still at the table.

As soon as the servant placed the meal in front of Mr. Shi, Mrs. Shi could no longer hold back and asked casually, "Dad, I heard from the servant that Sheng Yuan is here. Is there something urgent so early in the morning?"

Old Master Shi pretended not to hear anything and took the spoon slowly. "Nothing. It's rare for a child to come over and drink tea with an elder like me."

Anyone with discerning ears can tell that this is an excuse. No one drinks tea on an empty stomach in the morning.

But there was no need for Shi's mother to ask any more questions. Just based on Mr. Shi's attitude of keeping silent and the lingering solemnity and contemplation between his brows, it was enough to support Shi's mother's guess.

After watching Old Man Shi finish his meal and leave, Mother Shi stood up and glanced unhappily at Father Shi, who was like a transparent man at the table just now.

Shi Xuan has been ordered to reflect on his mistakes in his own villa till now, and no one has ever heard him, as a father, say a few good words for his son in front of Mr. Shi.

But at this point, Shi Mu has seen through things.

Because of the various ridiculous deeds that Shi's father did when he was young, old man Shi no longer had any hope for him, and placed his hopes directly on his grandchildren. Nowadays, he only holds a position with no real power in his own company.

At the same time, he himself is a hopeless coward. Most of his thoughts every day are on maintaining the weak father-son relationship with Old Man Shi, hoping that he can continue to live a stable life of eating and waiting for death in his later years.

Shi's mother truly loved this man before she realized that he was not a man she could trust for her life.

Shi's father truly loved that woman, otherwise he would not be so despicable as to hide the fact that he was married. He would risk being severely reprimanded and spurned by the family and continue to be with that woman, weaving a beautiful dream, even if it was only for a while.

Of course, Shi Mu was jealous and felt a sense of crisis.

But in the final analysis, she also understood more clearly that the only person Shi's father truly loved was himself. When it came to interests, he could still resolutely reveal the truth in front of his beloved woman, and then watch that self-righteous and proud woman collapse, destroy herself, and even become mentally ill.

Nowadays, Shi's mother no longer thinks about anything else. Her only wish is to see her son Shi Xuan safely and securely inherit everything from the Shi family.

As for the child that Shi's father had with that woman.

Shi's mother sneered, and she just sat back and watched the excitement. - Four days later, Shi Yan finished filming.

At the same time, it also marked the completion of the filming of the "Power" crew.

Ever since Sheng Yuan appeared on the set, Shi Yan's lips have been curled up, and he held the flowers given by Sheng Yuan in his arms and was not going to let go.

Xiao Zhou, who had already collected several bouquets of green flowers for Shi Yan, was afraid that it would be inconvenient for Shi Yan, so he said he would collect them for him first. Shi Yan gave him a cold look, and Xiao Zhou raised his hands in surrender and said, "Okay, okay, just hold it. Just hold it."

The staff who organized the group photo were almost going crazy.

I couldn't stop teasing, "I still remember the group photo at the opening ceremony. The expression on Teacher Shi Yan's face was as if it had rained coldly for hundreds of years. Now, hehehe."

Some staff members also saw Sheng Yuan, especially the girls, and they lamented that it had only been a short time since Sheng Yuan finished filming and left the crew, but it felt like a century since they last saw her. They all missed her so much and had endless things to say to her. They felt a little sad when they thought that everyone would basically be separated from her after today.

The group photo session ended successfully with everyone laughing and crying.

The crew also has some individual small theater performances for some characters that need to be recorded at some point, and the staff said it won't take too much time.

Shi Yan pursed his lips, reluctant to go.

Looking up, Sheng Yuan, who was surrounded by a group of girls from the costume group, heard the conversation. She curled her lips at him, then secretly pointed in the direction of the parking lot, indicating that she would wait for him there.

About ten minutes.

The recording was finally finished. Shi Yan didn't want to stay any longer. He didn't even finish listening to the staff member's words "thank you for your hard work, teacher". He couldn't wait to leave.

"Well, Mr. Shi Yan, the teacher who created the songs related to our movie said that he wanted to personally talk to you, the male lead of Shi Yan, Shen Yu, about your role. It was Mr. Yan who came to our crew that day."

The assistant smiled and said, "You should have remembered him. He is the popular singer and songwriter Qing on Weibo. He is already waiting in the film and television office building. Director Hu is also here. Please see—"

He didn't even wait for the assistant to finish speaking.

Shi Yan was holding the flowers, as if he didn't see the assistant. He walked around him, passed by him, and left.

"Sorry, Brother Yan is a bit in a hurry."

Xiao Zhou looked at his assistant, who was disheveled and embarrassed in the wind, and couldn't bear to save face, so he spoke up to smooth things over.

Writing songs is the creator's own job, and it is not within the scope of Yan Ge's obligations.

Whether one can agree to go depends entirely on personal feeling and willingness. Seeing how the assistant praised Teacher Yan so much, it seems that the other party has good resources and background, and perhaps even better, he has good popularity.

However, Yan Ge had no interest at all. -Parking lot.

"Master Shi Yan."

The driver opened the back door, Shi Yan nodded slightly and got in the car.

Sheng Yuan didn't know whether she heard the noise or what, she leaned back in her seat, looking out the window in a trance.

Shi Yan followed the girl's line of sight and looked over there, where there were several rows of parked cars.

"What are you looking at?"

Sheng Yuan turned her head and said, "No."

The Rolls-Royce pulled onto the main road.

Sheng Yuan pointed at the flower in Shi Yan's arms and said, "If you keep holding the flower, the dew on the petals will get your clothes wet. How about putting it on the table?"

Shi Yan even hesitated for a while before reluctantly handing the flowers to Sheng Yuan.

Accidentally touched the girl's fingers.

So cool.

Shi Yan frowned instantly, "Is it cold?"

Sheng Yuan was stunned, shook her head and smiled, "It's not cold."

Shi Yan glanced at the electronic screen inside the car that showed the appropriate temperature, silently pulled the girl's wrist, lowered his head, pursed his lips, and held her hand in his palm.

The fingers were wrapped in warmth.

Sheng Yuan curled her fingers and looked at Shi Yan's long eyelashes, which looked even denser because they were half-drooped. She looked at him for a while, and as usual, she could not see anything unusual. She exclaimed, "It's so warm."

Shi Yan looked up at her, as if a little embarrassed, and quickly looked away. -Shi Family's main residence.

Sheng Yuan stood in front of the car, curved her beautiful eyebrows and raised her hand.

Shi Yan walked into the hallway, looking back every few steps.

The servants along the garden path could clearly see that the usually aloof young master was holding a bouquet of flowers and seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Master Shi Yan."

On a step not far away, the old butler stood there, nodded, and gestured, "The master is waiting for you in the study." (End of this chapter)
