After hearing this, Shi Xi wondered if she was hallucinating.
"Who are you talking about? And why?" Shi Xi felt she might not be thinking clearly, so she asked again.
Tao Yuxuan: "Leng Qiankun was taken to the police station for setting off fireworks."
Shi Xi remained silent.
That's a really down-to-earth charge.
The only comparable method is burning wheat straw.
"Should we go and get him out?" Shi Xi asked.
“No need, he can be released after paying a fine.” Tao Yuxuan said helplessly, “But he’ll be staying at the station for a while, so he probably won’t be coming today.”
Shi Xi: ...That's great.
"Shall we go see him tomorrow?" Tao Yuxuan asked. "He just got back from abroad and ended up in jail. That's really unlucky for him."
"It's alright, there will be more tough days to come," Shi Xi comforted her.
Tao Yuxuan asked, "Are you going to see Leng Qiankun tomorrow?"
Shi Xi said helplessly, "Go ahead."
After all, he ended up in jail for setting off fireworks for her.
Hopefully, he can learn from this experience and think more before acting next time.
She had never seen a domineering CEO get taken to the police station for setting off fireworks!
At this moment, Shi Xi saw the raging flames.
Fine, she's never seen a bald, domineering CEO before.
Except for Sheng Yan's father.
"Where's Brother Shi?" Tao Yuxuan looked around. "The banquet is about to end, isn't he going to come out and see everyone off?"
The birthday party was drawing to a close, and some people were already preparing to leave.
As the host and the eldest son of the Shi family, Shi Xu should see the guests off.
Even though no one said anything about not seeing the guests off.
"He seemed to be talking to Xie Yunzhou." Shi Xi looked in the direction the two had just left, but found that they had disappeared.
"Forget it then, I guess they want to talk about something." Tao Yuxuan said angrily, "That useless Leng Qiankun, he's never there when we need him!"
"It's alright, my parents are here." Shi Xi smiled faintly. "And you're here too, come with me to see the guests off."
It was said to be seeing off guests, but it was really just exchanging a few pleasantries at the door.

study.
Shi Xu looked at Xie Yunzhou sitting opposite him, his smile gentle but filled with deep wariness. "Mr. Xie's offer is too generous. What does he want the Shi family to give in return?"
"Shi Xi," the person across the desk said without hesitation.
"I will not use Xixi for a marriage alliance." Shi Xu's smile faded, and he added, "No matter what conditions you offer."
Xie Yunzhou leaned back in his chair and looked up at the time.
The two stared at each other, neither giving an inch.
"No need for a marriage alliance with Shi Xi?" Xie Yunzhou chuckled. "Then why is Shi Xi engaged to Sheng Yan?"
“Naturally, it’s because Xixi likes Shengyan.” Shi Xu felt a little annoyed. “If Mr. Xie has nothing else to say, please leave.”
They're already kicking people out.
Xie Yunzhou raised his eyes slightly and said, "Let's continue the cooperation, but let's change the terms."
Shi Xu looked at him.
Xie Yunzhou: "Annection of the engagement between Sheng Yan and Shi Xi."
Shi Xu fell silent, pondering whether this deal was worth doing.
Xixi really likes Shengyan, and the engagement banquet is already fully prepared.
If it is lifted now...
"The engagement banquet will be postponed for two years." Shi Xu made the final concession, saying, "During these two years, Mr. Xie can pursue Xi Xi with his own abilities. But if Xi Xi still wants to marry Sheng Yan after two years, I will respect Xi Xi's decision."
Xie Yunzhou: "Okay."
Two years is enough time for him to pursue Shi Xi.
Time exhaled.
They traded Xixi's two years of single life for the Shi family's interests.
That's still quite worthwhile.
