Mr. Shi introduced with a smile, "Xiao Xi, this is your grandfather, and Dad, this lovely little girl is Xiao Xi."
Shi Xi nodded obediently and called out softly, "Grandpa."
Grandpa Shi had a kind face and always smiled at people, as if he were an elder who would never lose his temper and loved the younger generation very much.
"Good, good, little Xi, this is a gift from Grandpa. I hope you won't mind the gift from the old man."
Grandpa Shi took a red envelope out of his pocket, which contained a bank card.
Shi Xi frowned, her head aching, as if she could hear her grandfather's voice in her memory.
But she never met her grandfather, so how could she have memories of him?
Di Chenxiao supported her from behind, asking anxiously, "Are you feeling unwell? Should we call Di Wu over?"
"No need, I'm fine."
Shi Hao and Shi Han hurriedly asked, "Xiao Xi, are you tired from the car ride, or are you feeling unwell?"
"fine."
Shi Xi accepted the red envelope and said gently, "Thank you, Grandpa. I'm sorry, Grandpa. I'm not feeling well today and I'm a little absent-minded. I didn't mean to refuse your red envelope."
"It's alright, would you like to go upstairs and rest for a bit?"
"I'll go upstairs to rest after I've eaten. Thank you for your concern, Grandpa."
"Okay, I suppose you're hungry too. Let's eat first."
The Shi family's dining table was joined by Shi Hongming's family of three, as well as Grandpa Shi.
During the meal, Shi Han, who usually loves to joke around, ate quietly, while Shi Xi only said one sentence throughout: "Thank you."
Without Shi Han and Shi Xi speaking, the dining table became much quieter.
Thirteen, Di Jiu, Mi Rou, and He Lian Yi did not sit down to eat. Shi Xi called them to eat, but they all refused, saying they had already eaten.
Shi Yue and Zhou Jia were arguing a lot, constantly talking to Grandpa Shi.
Grandpa Shi suddenly asked, "Master Chen, are you my Xiaoxi's boyfriend? I wonder who your family is? Rumor has it that you killed many of your relatives who stood in your way in order to take control of the Di family."
Di Chenxiao subconsciously looked at Shi Xi first, and only after confirming that she did not believe him did he say, "Grandpa Shi, you are an elder, just call me Xiao Chen. As for the rumors, they are just rumors after all."
"Are you truly in love with my Xiaoxi, or are you just after the Shi family's precious darling? I'm afraid you know the Shi family's secret!"
"Of course I like Xixi, but I'm not interested in the Shi family's secrets."
"and you……"
“Grandpa, I’m sorry to interrupt you. Chen and I are in love, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. You’ve only just returned today, so you probably don’t know what happened between Chen and me. In that case, please find out more before asking Chen about his feelings for me.” Shi Xi put down her chopsticks and looked directly at her grandfather.
"I'm full, you can continue eating. Mr. Chen, you should be full too. Come upstairs with me, I need your help with something."
"Okay, Mom and Dad, Big Brother, Shi Han, you all enjoy your meal. I'll go keep Xi Xi company first." Di Chenxiao stood up and left the dining table with Shi Xi.
Father Shi: "Dad, it's best if we don't interfere in Xiaochen and Xiaoxi's affairs. Let the children resolve their own problems."
Grandpa Shi lost his appetite after this. "It was my fault for being nosy. I won't ask anymore. You guys eat slowly, I'm going to rest."
Di Chenxiao didn't know what Shi Xi was angry about, nor did he know what he had done wrong.
He asked nervously, "Xixi, are you angry because Grandpa Shi said I took over the Di family using cruel methods?"
