Touyi's pace unconsciously quickened, fearing that he would be caught up by Shen's father. It would be ok for him to not take the year-end bonus!
Mrs. Shen was not as thick-skinned as her husband. She always felt that there seemed to be people surrounding them and talking about the young master of the Xie family.
Logically speaking, no one had dared to call Xie Liunian "Young Master of the Xie Family" so blatantly before.
After all, this person is not from the Xie family.
“That man is really strange.” Father Shen failed to catch up with Tuo No. 1, so he walked back to Mrs. Shen and stopped.
"Be careful, could this be a scam? Don't you think that everyone around us today seems to be promoting the young master of the Xie family?" Mrs. Shen reminded.
"What's the big deal? The Xie family has such a huge fortune, it's not normal for so many people to praise it." Father Shen disagreed.
"But they kept hanging around in front of us as if they were deliberately trying to praise us." This was the first time Mrs. Shen had seen such a scene.
"Who cares? If it's really what you said, doesn't it mean that the Xie family has intentions of forming an alliance with our family?"
Father Shen unconsciously began to fantasize in his heart that even if Shen Shiyi was disobedient, he, as a father, could still make a good profit from her before she got married.
The two were chatting when they were suddenly brought back to their senses by their son's voice.
"Shen Shiyi, why are you here?"
When Mr. Shen heard that Zhen Shiyi would appear here, he quickly turned his head to look over. It seemed that what he and his wife had just guessed was true. The Xie family was indeed interested in Shen Shiyi.
Otherwise, how could Shen Shiyi appear at the Xie family's banquet alone when they didn't bring Shen Shiyi with them?
"Shi Yi, why are you here too? Come on, I'll take you over to say hello to Mr. Xie."
In order to verify his guess, Father Shen planned to take Shen Shiyi to the old man of the Xie family for a walk.
Without waiting for Shen's father to come over, Shen Huai stepped in front of Shen Shiyi and said, "Dad, Mr. Xie is already an old man half buried in the ground."
"Shen Huai, don't talk nonsense. Do you have any manners at all?"
Father Shen looked around nervously and made sure that no one noticed them before he felt relieved. His son was becoming more and more tactless in his words.
No matter how old Mr. Xie is, you can't speak of him in such an impolite way.
“I just want to remind you, don’t introduce this kind of person who can be Shen Shiyi’s grandfather to her.”
Ever since what happened with the young master of the Li family, Shen Huai naturally thought that his father had bad intentions.
Otherwise, why would he suddenly bring Shen Shiyi to meet the old man of the Xie family?
"You! Shut up! Mr. Xie isn't the kind of person you think he is. I just wanted to go and offer my blessing. Isn't it normal for a younger person to say a few words of blessing to an elder?"
Shen Huai was almost mad at this rebellious son. Look at what's going on in his head right now!
"Really? In that case, I'll go too." Shen Huai was skeptical and didn't think his father would be that simple.
Shen Shiyi listened to their conversation for a long time, and had no intention of following them. He turned around and left while they were arguing.
When Shen Huai and Shen's father turned their heads to look, there was no sign of Shen Shiyi.
"Chen Shiyi!" Father Shen chased after him angrily. Neither of them was a worry to him.
"What's up?"
"You...you have no manners at all? I was just talking to you, how could you just walk away without even listening?"
Father Shen felt that the children he gave birth to were all to irritate him. None of them were to his liking and were not obedient at all.
"If you don't want to embarrass yourself, stay away from me. If you keep arguing, I won't guarantee you'll have the nerve to stay here."
Shen Shiyi glanced at Shen's father indifferently. She had even become accustomed to Shen's father coming over to cause trouble whenever he saw her.
"You...what do you mean? I'm kind enough to introduce you to the Xie family's child, but you're not interested? He's a little younger than you, and he's incredibly handsome. And all the family property will be his in the future."
Father Shen gritted his teeth and said that such good conditions were hard to find even with a lantern, so Shen Shiyi couldn't be so ungrateful.
"Oh, not interested." Shen Shiyi's eyes were indifferent, as if he was looking at a clown.
Father Shen was so angry that he didn't know what to say. Shen Shiyi was not tempted by such conditions. She was going to heaven!
But I really have no way to deal with this daughter.
A cheerful male voice suddenly interrupted, "Miss Shen is indeed different from ordinary women. She cannot be moved by money."
"Thank you, Master!" Father Shen's eyes widened. No movement on their side would attract the main person.
"Hello, my name is Xie Liunian." Xie Liunian's eyes were on Shen Shiyi from beginning to end. He didn't even want to look at Shen's father any more. He could tell from their quarrel just now that Shen Shiyi had no father-daughter feelings for Shen's father.
"Hello." Shen Shiyi nodded lightly and planned to go find An Chen. Speaking of which, he had been in the bathroom for a long time, and she couldn't help but start to wonder if something had happened to him.
"Ms. Shen, please stay. I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to dance the first dance with me for a while." Xie Liunian took a few steps forward, always keeping a distance of one meter from Shen Shiyi.
His appearance is gentle in itself, especially his tender peach blossom eyes, which seem particularly affectionate when he looks at people.
Everyone around was attracted by this scene, and there was envy in their eyes when they looked over. The Xie family had no children, and Xie Liunian was the only child with the surname Xie, so everyone naturally thought that the Xie family would be left to Xie Liunian in the future.
However, the woman who can win Xie Liunian's favor now will be the mistress of the Xie family in the future.
"Ms. Shen is so lucky to have such a beautiful daughter."
"This is the first time Young Master Xie has invited a woman to dance. Could it be that he has some romantic feelings for her?"
"Why wasn't I invited? That country boy isn't that great either. He's average looking and has an average figure."
The voices of the people around him were full of envy and jealousy. Shen's father's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he wished he could agree on behalf of Shen Shiyi.
Shen Shiyi said in a distant voice, "I can't dance. Sorry, Mr. Xie, please find someone else."
Her refusal brought the scene to a sudden silence. It was the first time Mr. Xie invited a woman and was rejected!
Xie Liunian's hands were frozen in place. He had just taken the initiative to say hello and shake hands, but Shen Shiyi refused. Now she rejected his invitation. She was indeed a difficult woman.
Xie Liunian has secretly dealt with many women, and even made them fall in love with him without asking for any official status.
Therefore, in his opinion, Shen Shiyi's current rejection was only temporary, and sooner or later he would make her fall at his feet.
Xie Liunian was gentle and polite: "It's okay. Although it's a pity that we can't dance together, it's also a kind of happiness to be rejected by Miss Shen."
