At the entrance, an old lady came in. She was short and had a shrewd look. The wrinkles between her eyebrows and the deep nasolabial folds added a fierce look to her face. She was wearing a black and red auspicious dress, her hand resting on the arm of the woman next to her, her chin held high.
She walked up to Lan Xi, looked her up and down, and snorted coldly.
"What are you doing? On such a happy day!" Old Master Shi scolded coldly and gave her a warning look.
The old lady rolled her eyes, plopped down next to the two of them, and said with an air of superiority, "How uneducated! You don't even know how to greet your elders!"
Mr. Shi wanted to say something, but Lan Xi's hand on his arm exerted subtle force, and he understood and shut up.
"Haven't you known for a long time that I'm ill-mannered? Could it be that you've forgotten it after just a few years of not seeing each other?" Lan Xi helped the old man sit aside, resting her right hand lightly on his leg, and raised her crossed legs slightly.
The old lady raised her eyebrows and pointed at Lan Xi, cursing, "I haven't seen you for all these years, but you haven't changed at all. No wonder your mother punished you so much when you were little. You deserved it! You're Lan Ting'an's offspring, so cunning, lazy, greedy, and slippery!"
These words were already very unpleasant to the ear, and Mr. Shi's expression immediately turned cold.
"Heh~" Lan Xi laughed sarcastically when Lan Ting'an was mentioned rashly, and there was no anger on her face.
"What are you laughing at? What I said is wrong! It's a good thing that our Shi Tinghan doesn't like you, otherwise the Shi family would have been in a mess because of you!" The old lady saw that Lan Xi was not angry, so she got angry first.
"After all, we are ordinary people. I have never heard you say that, old lady. It is quite new!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the old lady exploded instantly. She and Mr. Shi were in a free love relationship back then. It was a clichéd story of a rich young man falling in love with Cinderella. She felt that the girl was strong, brave, hardworking and progressive, which was in sharp contrast to the rich girl who only knew how to enjoy herself.
Then they fall in love with each other uncontrollably, even to the point of going against their family!
But after they finally got married as he wished, he discovered problems. She would cause a scene at a party because of the attendance of a secretary, and would suspect that her husband had someone else because of his busy work. All these things consumed a man's initial strong love.
The two of them eventually got tired of each other!
This time, if Shi Tingshan had not been engaged, Mr. Shi would not have brought the old lady to the compound!
"Look, this is the person in charge of the Lan family. This is how he speaks to his elders. He has no rules and is arrogant and domineering..." The old lady slammed the table.
Lan Xi raised the corners of her mouth even higher. She looked at the ugly old lady Shi. Because of her disturbance, there were only a few of them in the banquet hall. The rest were cleared out by the manager.
"I've been arrogant and domineering for a long time. Aren't you tired of always emphasizing this? I can't possibly give in to you just because you're like this, so just give up! Otherwise, if you faint, everyone will laugh at the Shi family."
You know what, the old lady now really felt a fishy-sweet taste in her throat, and her body began to tremble. The nanny beside her took out a bottle of medicine from her bag as usual, poured out two pills and fed them to the old lady.
Old Master Shi just listened the whole time. Lan Xi's words were not very pleasant, but every word made sense. He had always cherished this daughter-in-law very much in his heart. He had a falling out with the Shi family because of her and almost lost the chance to become the head of the family.
After finally pushing away the group of brothers who were eyeing him covetously, he finally got the beauty he wished for, only to find that the real Lei was right next to him.
My father kept nagging me about this for several years!
"If you make trouble again, go back to the old house! Don't ruin the good days of the younger generations here!" After saying this in a deep voice, Mr. Shi stood up with the help of a chair, not intending to pay any more attention to her.
The old lady finally recovered and heard her husband talking to outsiders. The grievances she had felt alone in the old house for the past two years suddenly burst out. She stood up and rushed to the old man to hit him:
"Shi Weiguo, you..."
Before he could finish his words, someone grabbed his hand. When he looked up, Shi Tinghan was standing beside him with a stern face.
The old lady suddenly wilted. She wanted to withdraw her hand but found that she couldn't. She angrily scolded her grandson: "Why are you holding me? Let go!"
The old lady is still a little afraid of her grandson. Sometimes, because of their identities, the old man would tolerate her even if he disliked her.
But Shi Tinghan was different. He had no feelings for his grandmother, and he had seen her throwing tantrums in the Shi family, so he had no patience for her.
Seeing that the old lady really didn't intend to attack again, he slowly let go of her hand and said in a deep voice:
"Grandma, please calm down! You know I have very little patience! Today is Shanshan's engagement day, and I don't want to make a scene! Do you... hear me?"
The old lady wanted to use her status as a reason, but Shi Tinghan anticipated it and said, "You should know that if you weren't my grandmother, I wouldn't handle it this way! So..."
After a long silence, the old lady said in a humiliating tone, "Alright, alright, I know it's not okay, right? Can you let me go now?"
Shi Tinghan let go of his hand and said to the assistant beside him: "If she makes trouble again, let our people take her back."
Lan Xi stood aside and watched the excitement. The old lady was obviously scared. She walked slowly back to her seat and sat down, looking aggrieved. She couldn't help but snort and laugh.
Shi Tinghan first helped Grandpa to sit down, then walked over to Lan Xi and asked, "Let's chat on the terrace?"
Lan Xi said nothing and turned to walk towards the terrace.
"Do you know Zhao Yannian?" Shi Tinghan asked directly while his assistant was waiting outside.
