Hearing that it was made by Shi Xi, Xie Yunzhou accepted it.
Shi Xi sat down next to him and asked, "Are you alone? Where are the others?"
Xie Yunzhou: "They're probably trying to win over other people and take over the shares I hold."
There were only two people in the mourning hall, and the cold wind blowing in from outside made it gloomy and eerie.
Shi Xi moved a little closer to Xie Yunzhou.
She used to be a staunch materialist.
Now I'm starting to waver.
Seeing her tugging at his clothes, Xie Yunzhou said, "I can stay here and guard this place by myself. You should go back and rest early."
Shi Xi glanced outside, then looked at Xie Yunzhou. "Never mind, I won't be able to sleep if I go back. I'll stay here with you."
"Scared?" Xie Yunzhou found Shi Xi even more adorable and said, "After I finish my noodles, I'll take you back to your room."
“I’m scared being alone in the room too,” Shi Xi said, leaning against him. “Why don’t you tell me about what happened here before?”
She never expected to arrive at the Xie family's old residence under such circumstances.
Xie Yunzhou: "Are you sure you want to hear this?"
Shi Xi: "The night is long, perfect for reminiscing."
Xie Yunzhou: ...
Footsteps sounded outside the door.
Shi Xi's breath hitched.
Could it be some kind of ghost returning to life?
ah!!!
I am a staunch materialist!!!
"Mr. Xie, oh, Ms. Shi, you're here!" Attorney Chen came in from outside, seemingly relieved.
Shi Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that someone had come in. "You were looking for me?"
Attorney Chen glanced at Xie Yunzhou and said to Shi Xi, "There are some things I'd like to discuss with you privately."
Xie Yunzhou looked up at Attorney Chen, "What is it?"
Attorney Chen: "I'd like to speak with Ms. Shi privately."
It means she didn't want Xie Yunzhou to hear it.
Shi Xi: "It's okay, just tell me."
Seeing Shi Xi's words, Attorney Chen said, "Mr. Xie has some private property that he wishes to give to Miss Shi Xi."
Shi Xi asked in surprise, "Huh?"
Attorney Chen took a file folder out of his briefcase and handed it to Shi Xi: "Old Xie said he wanted to buy you some gold jewelry, but he didn't know what you liked, so he bought a thousand catties of gold bars at the bank."
Is this what a rich girl looks like?!
Shi Xi opened the file and stared wide-eyed at the string of zeros.
"This, this isn't right, is it? This is so much." Shi Xixin thanked the old man for his generosity.
This is too much...
"Since it's from Grandpa, we should accept it," Xie Yunzhou said.
Attorney Chen also took out a pen, "Ms. Shi Xi, please sign here to confirm."
Shi Xi signed her name and said to Xie Yunzhou, "If we break up, I'll return this gold to you."
Xie Yunzhou: ...
Attorney Chen chuckled: "Ms. Shi is quite humorous."
Shi Xi felt the file folder in her hand was incredibly heavy.
Attorney Chen: "I won't bother you any longer, goodbye."
"Goodbye, Attorney Chen."
After seeing off Attorney Chen, Shi Xi sat back down next to Xie Yunzhou.
Xie Yunzhou thought for a moment and then instructed, "Don't tell anyone else about the things Grandpa gave you."
"Are you afraid they'll overthink it?" Shi Xi blinked.
"Grandpa asked Attorney Chen to talk to you about this in private because he didn't want them to know," Xie Yunzhou chuckled and said, "Especially my father, he's already been allocated several houses and he's feeling quite uncomfortable about it."
"Real estate in Yanjing is worth a lot of money!" Shi Xi thought of something and asked him, "By the way, who got the old house?"
Xie Yunzhou: "What? You like it here?"
