“We didn’t accept anything from Hua Xuanhe,” Shi Xu added.
Finally, the Shi family managed to salvage a tiny bit of their precarious reputation.
Shi Xi looked at her father and asked, "Dad, what do you want me to do?"
Shi's father said reluctantly, "I love you like my own daughter, so naturally I don't want you to go to someone else's house."
But this is different! The Hua family is a prominent and wealthy family in the capital, far richer than ours. If you went back, you'd definitely be living a better life than you are now!
Shi's mother also chimed in, "I'm a mother too, and I know how heartbroken a mother is to lose her daughter. Mr. Hua said your mother's health has always been poor. Why don't you go and see her?"
Watching Shi Xi's parents talk like this, Tao Yuxuan couldn't help but speak up for Shi Xi, "If Xi Xi wants to go, she can go; if she doesn't want to go, she shouldn't. It's not like we don't have money!"
Shi Xu and Ning Yu remained silent, waiting quietly for Shi Xi's reply.
"I'm a little tired, let's talk about this tomorrow." Shi Xi lowered her eyes, got up and went back to her bedroom.
After Shi Xi's figure disappeared at the top of the stairs, Tao Yuxuan said, "Xi Xi seems unhappy. I'll go check on her."
Shi Xu cautioned, "Don't talk nonsense. We haven't been bribed by Hua Xuan."
"That's about right," Tao Yuxuan muttered softly, "I'll see how it goes."
It probably means they'll sell everyone out completely.
Ning Yu also stood up and said, "I'm going to rest."
Shi's mother tugged at Shi's father's arm, asking anxiously, "Will Xixi go back to the Hua family? What if she goes back and doesn't come back?"
“That’s Xixi’s home. It’s only natural that she doesn’t come back.” Mr. Shi pressed his temples and said, “Go to bed early tonight. Judging from Xixi’s condition, she probably doesn’t want to go to the Hua family.”
"I want Xixi to go, but I also don't want her to go," said Shi's mother, looking worried. "Am I sick?"
Parents who love their children plan far ahead for them.
The Shi family is indeed very successful in Fengcheng, and their business is quite large.
The Hua family has a strong foundation and power.
The people do not fight with the officials.
Shi Xu said, "Dad, Mom, Xi Xi has her own considerations."
If she truly coveted the wealth of the Hua family, Hua Xuanhe wouldn't have approached us.
Shi's mother nodded, saying with heartache, "Xixi has been through so much this past year."
Shi's father agreed and remarked, "Yes, he's grown up and has his own ideas now."

Independent and self-reliant, Shi Xi returned to her room and cleared her mind.
Tao Yuxuan knocked on the door and came in, carrying a plate of fruit. She asked, "Are you unhappy?"
"Yes, after the Hua family lost me, they adopted a daughter and raised her until now." Shi Xi said, mentioning Hua Ruoling, "They even mistook one of the daughters once before."
“I know about this,” Tao Yuxuan said while eating watermelon. “I heard that Hua Ruoling got into trouble, but she’s out of trouble now and has returned to the Hua family.”
Thinking about this made Shi Xi even more annoyed.
Her demand of Hua Xuanhe was that he drive Hua Ruoling away.
It now seems that the Hua family is determined to protect Hua Ruoling at all costs.
That's true.
To the Hua family, Hua Ruoling was their daughter and sister with whom they spent every day, while she was merely a blood relative of the Hua family.
He finally understood the cold and distant feeling that Ning Yu had when she first came to his home.
“I think you should go back,” Tao Yuxuan began to offer advice: “You are the daughter of that Hua something, so you have the right to inherit.”
Even if you don't want to go back to the Hua family, you can go back, get the money, and continue acting in the entertainment industry! On the contrary...
You're not home most of the time either!
Oh, I meant it, you're not in our house either.
