Shi Xu wanted Shi Xi to say a few more words of comfort, but her sweet little darling ran away.
never mind.
Breaking off an engagement isn't that easy.
Shi Xi's engagement was delayed for a long time before it was finally canceled.
Thinking of this, Shi Xu remembered another person who might be able to help him.
"Sheng Yan, do you have time? Let's go out for a meal."
*
Qingshui Residence.
Shi Xi left work early and went to Qingshuiju to order food.
Xie Yunzhou arrived a while later.
"Sorry I'm late." Xie Yunzhou pushed open the door and saw the girl waiting for him, so he apologized first.
How could he let Shi Xi wait for him?!
He should have arrived first!
"It's nothing, I just got off work early." Shi Xi flipped through the menu and said, "I ordered braised lion's head meatballs, stewed white fish, and three-course duck. What would you like to eat?"
Xie Yunzhou called the waiter in and said, "Add another order of braised beef and braised shredded tofu, and replace the shrimp on top of the braised shredded tofu with fish balls."
Shi Xi casually remarked, "You seem to really like eating 'lantern shadow beef' (a type of beef dish)."
“You really like eating fish,” Xie Yunzhou replied.
"If we can't eat seafood, we can only eat some fish." Shi Xi smiled and asked, "By the way, what is this braised dried bean curd strips? Is it shredded meat? It doesn't seem like it!"
The menu had pictures, but Shi Xi could only make out the shrimp balls; Xie Yunzhou had already told the waiter to change them to fish balls.
Xie Yunzhou said, "It's made by stewing shredded tofu and shredded chicken. It's soft, tender, and delicious. You should like it."
The two followed the menu and began to chat about their respective food preferences.
On the other hand, Shi Xu invited Sheng Yan to dinner.
"How did you convince your family to break off the engagement?" Shi Xu asked proactively.
Sheng Yan: ...
He hadn't expected that Shi Xu would contact him to ask this kind of question.
"It was your Shi family who said they wanted to postpone the engagement banquet, so the engagement fell through." Sheng Yan said speechlessly, "In a society governed by law, can I force you to marry me?"
Sheng Yan had always resented this marriage agreement.
It wasn't because he liked Shi Xi; he just felt that being jilted was a huge loss of face.
“Postponing the engagement party is a good idea,” Shi Xu nodded.
As Sheng Yan ate the meat, he thought to himself, "Your Shi family is truly rebellious."
One by one, they all had to break off their engagements.
“However, Grandpa Shi wants to see you get married, so he definitely won’t agree to postpone it.” Sheng Yan interrupted Shi Xu’s thoughts as soon as he spoke.
Timing: ...
The Shi family is a wealthy family in Fengcheng, so Shi Xu's marriage naturally attracted the attention of everyone. Therefore, as soon as Shi Xi got engaged, almost everyone in the circle knew about it.
The person asking asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
“No, Grandpa Shi has a heart condition, so there’s no solution to this problem,” Sheng Yan said decisively.
He and Shi Xi's parents are both in good health; neither of them will die from anger.
The passage of time is unavoidable.
After the two finished their meal, they came out of the private room and ran into Shi Xi and Xie Yunzhou.
Shi Xi blinked, and seeing that there was no way to avoid it, she said, "Brother."
"You don't have time to come see my grandfather, but you do have time to eat with some random man." Shi Xu's eyes showed a hint of displeasure when he saw Xie Yunzhou.
Who would like to see their own cabbage being taken by someone else?
Xie, the Wild Man, Yunzhou: ...
"I was filming all morning and didn't have time to see Grandpa!" Shi Xi said with a bright smile. "How is Grandpa's health?"
Thinking about the blow he received, Shi Xu said, "Not bad, it hurt quite a bit."
"You got hit?" Shi Xi asked in surprise. "Where did Grandpa hit you? Does it still hurt?"
"I got hit on my arm. It's nothing, I'll just put some ointment on it when I get back." Shi Xu pretended to be strong.
