Shi Xi was captivated by her grandparents' story.
"Mom, how did Grandpa and Grandma meet?"
When Shi's mother saw that her daughter had become interested, she knew that she would speak freely and without reservation.
"Your maternal grandparents were childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little. They were originally from the countryside, but later went to university and came to the city."
Your maternal grandfather wasn't an honest and simple person either. He was very interested in doing business and started his business career while he was still in school.
He seemed to be born with a knack for business, and at that time, the era was changing, with supportive policies, so he rose through the ranks and achieved the Qin family's status here.
As Shi's mother spoke, she began to laugh, as if recalling amusing incidents from the past.
"Your maternal grandmother always said that your maternal grandfather had the smell of money and the air of a shrewd businessman."
Shi Xi put down the melon seeds in her hand and listened happily as her mother told stories about her maternal grandparents.
"Grandpa was truly remarkable. He single-handedly carved out a path for himself here, and he must have experienced many setbacks along the way!"
Shi's mother nodded. "Yes, when the business was just starting out, your grandfather's business partner left him, which almost caused the company to go bankrupt."
"It's difficult for partners to last. They can go through hardships together, but they can't share the spoils. In other words... it's about not dividing the profits equally."
Shi's mother glared at Shi Xi with annoyance, "What nonsense are you talking about? But you're right, it's just that the spoils weren't divided fairly."
Shi Xi playfully stuck out her tongue and scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.
"And then what happened? What happened to Grandpa and Grandma?"
"They got together after graduation. Your grandfather loved your grandmother and couldn't bear to see her suffer. By the time they graduated, your grandfather had already saved up some money."
Shi Xi hugged a cushion, rested her chin on one hand, and said with a smile, "I feel like... Grandpa wants to give Grandma a good and wealthy life, that's why he works so hard to earn money."
"Hmm... that's what Mom thinks too."
Shi Xi muttered, "I'm so envious!"
Di Chenxiao paused in peeling chestnuts, then teased, "Envious? Haven't I been good to you?"
She rolled her eyes at Di Chenxiao, "I didn't say you were bad to me."
Di Chenxiao fed the peeled chestnuts to Shi Xi's mouth. Shi Xi ate them one after another, stuffing two chestnuts into her mouth, her cheeks puffed out, like a cute squirrel.
His eyes were full of smiles.
"What else would you like to eat?"
Because she hadn't finished eating the chestnuts in her mouth, her speech was a little slurred.
"I want them all..."
"good."
Shi's mother couldn't stand it anymore. "Xiao Xi, don't take advantage of Xiao Chen's affection for you and keep ordering him around."
Shi Xi hugged the pillow tightly, "Mom..."
Di Chenxiao: "Mom, Xixi didn't order me around. I did it voluntarily. Watching Xixi eat with her cheeks puffed out is so cute, and it makes me feel really good."
Shi Han grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and peeled them one by one.
"Mom, if Master Chen is willing to spoil his sister, then don't worry about it. I admire Master Chen from the bottom of my heart for spoiling his girlfriend. My older brother and I should learn from you."
Shi's mother gave Shi Han a disdainful look. "Spoiling your girlfriend? You don't even have a girlfriend, and you want to spoil her? You're almost graduating from university and you've never been in a relationship. You still have the nerve to boss Xiao Chen around."
"Mom, there are enough people who like me to circle the school. It's not like I'm unpopular."
Shi Han placed the peeled sunflower seeds in front of Shisan, "Here you go."
Thirteen glanced at the melon seeds with a cold expression and said indifferently, "Leave them for someone who likes you!"
