Chapter 48 Father's Accusation
After processing a few more emails, Shi's father turned to look at Shi Jin, who had been waiting for a long time.
Do you know what I wanted to say to you today?
Such opening remarks are usually not a good thing.
Shi Jin paused for a few seconds, then answered honestly, "I don't know."
“As your father, I won’t interfere in your love life, but you shouldn’t have made your mother sad. She’s been in a bad mood these past few days, and she’s even cried. You know, as a man of the Shi family, the last thing you should do is make a woman cry…”
Okay, it's because of Mom again.
His father is absolutely obsessed with love!
But Shi Jin didn't expect that his mother would cry. He had been avoiding his mother for the past few days, so he didn't know about these things.
I felt a pang of heartache instantly.
"Dad, how is Mom?"
"What do you think? If she weren't worried about you, would she be so heartbroken? Shi Jin, you didn't think things through in this matter."
Shi Jin knew what his father meant by "this matter," but he didn't think he had done anything wrong.
Are you suggesting he just stand by and watch the girl he likes get bullied?
“Dad, if you’re talking about Qianni, I don’t think I did anything wrong.”
Shi's father chuckled as he looked at his son's naive expression.
“Shi Jin, I don’t believe you can’t see what kind of girl Li Qianni really is. Running away isn’t the solution. You can choose to blindly trust her this time, but can you be sure you can trust her forever? Take advantage of the fact that you’re not too deeply involved yet, get out of there in time, and find a girl who is truly kind and innocent at heart. I don’t want the empire that Grandpa and I have built for you to be destroyed because of a woman…”
Shi's father's words were very harsh.
Even though Shi's father was always a serious and unsmiling person, he had never said such harsh words to Shi Jin before.
He was startled, finding it hard to accept.
"dad……"
"Alright, you're my son, you have the blood of the Shi family in your veins. I believe this little problem won't stump you. Go back and think it over carefully, I have to go to work..."
Shi Jin rose weakly and dejectedly from his seat. Just as he was about to reach the door, his father suddenly spoke up: "When you have time, go home and see your mother, and apologize to her..."
...
As soon as Shi Jin left the company, she immediately called her mother.
He was still very worried about his mother.
But my mother hung up on my first call.
Is his mother really angry with him?
Without further hesitation, I contacted my mother's driver and learned that my mother was getting her hair styled at a salon, so I drove straight to the salon my mother usually goes to.
On the way here, I also bought Portuguese egg tarts and milk tea, which my mom really likes.
He went to the VIP room with a smile, but to his surprise, when he opened the door, he found not only his mother but also Bai Zhenzhu in the room.
Is his mother really going to raise Bai Zhenzhu as her daughter?
This is completely inexplicable!
However, he no longer wanted to say another word to Bai Zhenzhu, so he completely ignored her.
I walked over to my mother and handed her the egg tart and milk tea.
"Mom, I bought you your favorite food, try it."
Shi's mother snorted and didn't take it.
Shi Jin glanced at the hairstylist, then waved her hand and said, "You can go out now."
The hairstylist nodded and immediately slipped out.
"Hey, don't go yet! My hair isn't finished!"
Compared to Shi's mother, these hairdressers were much more afraid of the Shi family's heir.
Shi's mother glared angrily at Shi Jin, deliberately refusing to speak to him. Instead, she said to Bai Zhenzhu in a sarcastic tone, "Zhenzhu, how can my life be so miserable? The son I raised with such difficulty has devoted himself to a girl with impure motives. These past few days, if it weren't for you staying by my side and comforting me, I really wouldn't have been able to hold on..."
Bai Zhenzhu pursed her lips, quietly looking at Shi's mother, smiling, giving her strength.
The two of them stared at each other like that, clearly not taking him seriously.
He angrily slammed the milk tea on the table and said to Bai Zhenzhu in a bad mood, "You go out first, I need to talk to my mother alone for a few minutes."
Bai Zhenzhu's eyes welled up with tears of grievance. She quickly stood up and apologized to Shi's mother, saying, "Auntie, I'll go out for a walk first. You should have a good talk with Shi Jin. Please don't be angry anymore. You haven't been feeling well lately, and I'm really worried about you."
Seeing how much Bai Zhenzhu cared for her, much better than her own foolish son, Shi's mother felt even more disgusted with Li Qianni.
Bai Zhenzhu went out, and Shi Jin sat solemnly opposite his mother.
"Mom, please don't stay with that Bai Zhenzhu anymore, okay? There's no way I could like Bai Zhenzhu. The person I've always liked is Li Qianni. What if Qianni sees you like this and misunderstands me even more?"
Shi Jin felt that since she had already made a choice, she should not hesitate and should explain it to her mother.
“Son, I’m with Pearl because I love her. I can’t hurt Pearl because of you. On the contrary, you know that Li Qianni isn’t as docile and innocent as she seems. Why are you still so stubborn?”
"Mom, you can't just listen to Lin Qingmiao's side of the story about that day. It was Lin Qingmiao who insulted Qianni first."
"So she can hit people? Do you know that slap almost made Qingmiao deaf?"
Shi Mu was exaggerating; it wasn't actually that serious.
But Lin Qingmiao's ears did indeed ring from the blow, and she was briefly deaf.
Shi Jin was also shocked. She didn't expect Li Qianni to be so ruthless. Normally, Li Qianni's arms would ache even if she just carried a takeout order.
"What? You still think that girl is innocent?"
When Shi's mother was dating Shi's father, she dealt with all sorts of scheming and manipulative women.
She has an exceptional ability to spot a manipulative woman.
Shi Jin was speechless.
After thinking for a few seconds, she changed the subject and said, "Mom, no matter what, I've already made Qianni apologize to Lin Qingmiao. Let's leave it at that. Don't be angry anymore."
Shi's mother sighed helplessly and said earnestly, "Son, Pearl is so kind and innocent, why can't you understand her goodness?"
What's so good about her?
His question seemed to come out of the blue, or perhaps he was subconsciously waiting for proof.
"You know the intricate relationship between the Lin family and our Shi family. Qingmiao's father works in the central government, and your father's company recently has a project that needs approval from higher authorities. Qingmiao's father happens to be in charge of this project. Ever since that Li Qianni caused trouble and left, Qingmiao's father has been very angry and has even sanctioned our company. Your father has tried many methods but hasn't been able to change Qingmiao's father's attitude. If Pearl hadn't gone to Qingmiao the day before yesterday and sincerely apologized on your behalf and on behalf of our family, do you think Qingmiao would have given in so quickly?"
"Sigh, I wonder what kind of injustice Pearl suffered that made the Lin family not make things difficult for us!"
Shi Jin was unaware of these events; he arrogantly assumed that Lin Qingmiao had forgiven Li Qianni only because of pressure from the Shi family.
Seeing her son looking somewhat lost and unfocused, Shi's mother knew that her words had finally had some effect, and she secretly felt pleased.
However, on the surface, she still looked like she felt sorry for Bai Zhenzhu, saying, "Xiao Jin, Zhenzhu is such a sensible girl, you must not bully her anymore, understand? If I find out again that you are not treating Zhenzhu well, then Mommy will not talk to you anymore!"
"Mom, I understand, please don't be angry anymore, I'll..."
Shi Jin paused, his throat slightly hoarse, and made a difficult promise: "I will treat her well from now on."
Mother Shi finally achieved her goal, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. "Yes, Xiao Jin, it's enough for me to hear you say that."
