Under Tao Yuxuan's persistent harassment, Shi Xi agreed to accompany her back to the Shi family's old house.
Anyway, nothing worse can happen.
Shi Xi exhaled, reflecting on the impermanence of life.
She just wanted to make some money for her retirement, so why are there so many troubles in her life?
It avoided the female lead and the plot.
The inescapable schemes of a scheming woman.
*
The Shi family's old residence.
Ever since the original owner broke Grandpa Shi's vase, she rarely came to the old house.
In his youth, Shi Jingtian fought bravely on the battlefield and made numerous contributions. Later, due to poor health, he retired from the army and started his own business.
With his connections and courage, his business flourished, and he accumulated considerable wealth in Fengcheng.
The Shi family has strict rules, and almost all the male descendants are sent to the army for several years of training, so they have never had a spendthrift son.
Shi Hong expanded the Shi Group, and by the time Shi Xu took over, the Shi Group was even more stable.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Shi family's old house, Tao Yuxuan began to have second thoughts. "Can I not go in?"
Timing: "Okay."
Tao Yu turned and left.
"You actually listen to my brother?" Shi Xi grabbed Tao Yuxuan and said, "Grandpa wants to see you, and he has to see you. You can't hide from him this time, but you can't hide from him next time. Come on, I'll go with you."
The butler led a few people inside and whispered to Shi Xu, "Young Master, Miss Xu is also inside."
Upon hearing this, Tao Yuxuan immediately perked up, strode forward, and said indignantly, "That green tea bitch has the nerve to come here?"
Shi Xi: ...No wonder Tao Yuxuan is no match for green tea.
Stay calm!
Upon entering the living room, the first thing that catches the eye is the large character "Harmony is Precious" hanging on the wall. The calligraphy is calm and dignified, bringing a sense of peace to the mind.
Xu Ziqing, who was sitting in the living room, was pouring tea for Shi Jingtian.
No matter how I look at this scene, it's impossible to remain calm.
"Grandpa," Shi Xu said calmly, "why did you call us here in such a hurry?"
"You're still asking me what's wrong?!" Shi Jingtian was furious. "If Qingqing hadn't told me about the awful things you've done, I would still be completely in the dark! Kneel down!"
Before the timeline even changed, Tao Yuxuan had already knelt down.
Their movements were so swift and skillful that it was almost heartbreaking.
The living room fell silent for a moment.
Shi Jingtian had intended to ignore Tao Yuxuan, but seeing her kneel down, he said coldly, "If you're pregnant, sit down. Aren't you afraid of getting cold kneeling on the ground? People will think this old man is bullying you!"
Tao Yuxuan quickly replied, "No, no, Grandpa Shi was only disciplining us for our own good."
Everyone: ...
Shi Xi helped Tao Yuxuan up and found that Tao Yuxuan was putting almost all her weight on her.
It turns out my legs were weak.
Xu Ziqing comforted him from the side, "Grandpa, don't be angry. Brother Shi didn't want to upset you, so he kept it from you."
Shi Xi asked lightly, "Miss Xu, didn't you say it on purpose, which made Grandpa angry?"
Xu Ziqing was taken aback by the question, bit her lip and cried, "I'm only doing this for Brother Shi and Miss Tao's own good. Grandpa Shi, I don't want to break them up, please cancel our engagement."
"Why are you crying? It's not like you did anything wrong." Shi Jingtian reassured him, "It's this good-for-nothing who did something terrible. He's not good enough for you! Your engagement is hereby dissolved."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Shi Jingtian added, "I have a few unmarried grandsons. I'll introduce them to you later. Just tell me which one you like."
