Xu Tingchuan led Ni Sitian out of the Grand Hyatt and pulled her coat tighter around her. Although it was early spring, the evening wind was still a bit chilly.
Ni Sitian looked up at Xu Tingchuan, and the chill she had felt from Ni Qianshan's gaze earlier was dispelled by him.
The two got into the car, and Ni Sitian leaned against his shoulder, letting out a soft sigh: "You've seen it too, this is what my family is like."
The difference between the three of them and Xu Tingchuan's family was like heaven and earth.
He Cuiyun is cunning and vicious, while Jin Rulan is noble and elegant.
Ni Ziqi is frivolous and superficial, while Xu Jiayue is intelligent and beautiful.
The biggest difference is between Ni Qianshan and Xu Haicheng.
Xu Haicheng was gentle and kind to his children, and he also doted on his daughter-in-law, Ni Qianshan, who either ignored her or beat and scolded her at the slightest provocation.
Ni Sitian was ashamed to let him see the despicable faces of her so-called family members.
"Haven't you heard the saying 'a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup'?" Xu Tingchuan held her hand, giving her a sense of calm, and continued, "Since she's already been given away, there's no need for her to go back. From now on, you're just my wife, the young mistress of the Xu family."
Ni Sitian knew that Xu Tingchuan was trying to comfort her and hoped that she would stop taking those people to heart.
She gently nuzzled Xu Tingchuan's shoulder with her cheek, and said with some worry, "I'm afraid they'll cause you trouble in the future."
Ni Qianshan is not the kind of person who will stop once he gets some benefits. He is very greedy. She is afraid that he will use the Xu family's reputation to do things he shouldn't in the future. The Xu family is a big tree that attracts a lot of attention, and she is very afraid that it will be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.
"As long as you agree, I'll have someone keep an eye on them." Xu Tingchuan, respecting Ni Sitian's wishes, greeted her first.
"That would be great, but I'm worried that it's impossible to guard against them all."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Xu Tingchuan has been in the business world for many years and has seen all kinds of difficult opponents. Ni Qianshan is a greedy and despicable person, so he is easy to deal with. However, he is Ni Sitian's father after all, and he can't send him to prison. He has to think of another way to restrain him.
Although Ni Sitian didn't know what Xu Tingchuan was planning, she felt at ease as long as he said those words.
The two were chatting in the back seat when Xu Tingchuan's phone rang. It was a number from Shenmu Kingdom calling.
He paused in surprise, then swiped to answer the call.
"Where is she?" Shen Muzhi's voice was a little hoarse, but as always, it was cold and aloof.
Xu Tingchuan glanced at Ni Sitian beside him, and without trying to hide anything from her, asked in a normal voice, "When did you get back?"
"Just now." Shen Muzhi returned by private jet. Normally, given his injuries, he would need some time to recover before he could move around, but he couldn't wait. Having learned from Pei Yang about Xiang Zhilan's pregnancy, he couldn't stay there any longer and repeated, "Where is she?"
Pei Yang's explanation was unclear; he didn't even know where Xiang Zhilan was, which is why he had to call Xu Tingchuan as soon as he got off the plane.
"Tongxin Welfare Home." Xu Tingchuan said the location helplessly. He didn't know that Shen Muzhi already knew that Xiang Zhilan was pregnant, and he even instructed, "Don't give her too much of a shock right now."
Shen Muzhi didn't reply and hung up the phone directly. He then said to Butler Chen, who was waiting behind him, "Go to Tongxin Welfare Home."
"But sir, it's already eight o'clock. You just got off the plane. The doctor said..."
Shen Muzhi gave him a cold glance, and Butler Chen shut his mouth, sighed inwardly, and instructed A-Chao to go to Tongxin Welfare Home.
