Shi Xi put her schoolbag on the sofa and sat down beside it.
Uncle Song bent down and whispered in Shi Xi's ear, "Miss, the eldest young master, the second young master, the master, and the madam are all at the Qin family."
Shi Xi nodded. "I understand."
As soon as Qin Xue got out of school, she went home and asked what had happened at the Qin family's house.
Thirteen stood behind Shi Xi, and Mi Rou sat beside Shi Xi, the two of them protecting Shi Xi invisibly.
Grandpa Shi's eyes were a little cloudy. After a while, he sighed softly.
"Xiaoxi, you are my only granddaughter. You and Xiaoyue are both my granddaughters, they are both my flesh and blood, how could I not love you both?"
But you have Di Chenxiao, your older brothers, and your parents to protect you. Shi Yue only has your second uncle and aunt to protect her. That's why I've sided with her.
It's understandable that you feel wronged and blame me. Xiaoyue is gone; whether she stole the company's business plan or harbored inappropriate feelings for Di Chenxiao, don't blame her anymore.
Shi Xi glanced at her grandfather, who looked very weathered, and felt a pang of pity.
"Grandpa, if... if Shiyue were still alive, would you still help her? Even if... she stole the company's business plan."
Grandpa Shi remained silent for a long time.
Knowing that Shi Yue had done something wrong, Shi Hongming was no longer as arrogant as before. "Xiao Xi, Xiao Yue is still young and doesn't understand. Now that she's gone, do you still want to fuss over such a small thing?"
"A small matter?"
Shi Yue looked at Shi Hongming and his wife with a mocking expression. She didn't know how they could have the nerve to continue living in their house.
“Second Uncle, Shi Yue is older than me! I understand the principle of ‘if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold,’ but she doesn’t? She’s an adult now, her values are formed, and she has to bear the consequences of her mistakes. You can’t shirk responsibility by saying ‘she’s still young and doesn’t understand.’”
"Furthermore, should children not be punished for making mistakes? Can children shirk all responsibility for their mistakes?"
Without Di Chenxiao's help, the Shi family would have been finished.
In the book, the Shi family's ending is not good, and the culprit is Shi Yue.
She does not believe that being young is a valid reason to commit a crime.
Zhou Jia stood up angrily, pointed at Shi Xi, and shouted, "My daughter is gone, what more do you want?"
Shi Xi stood up and walked up to Zhou Jia. "Second Aunt, it wasn't me who killed your daughter. You can't find the murderer or bring your daughter back by yelling at me."
The deceased is gone, and the Shi family's ending in the book did not appear, so she did not want to pursue it any further.
She had only lost control because she was thinking about the Shi family's fate in the book.
"Stop arguing!" Grandpa Shi suddenly stood up and shouted.
"Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Zhou Jia rushed to Grandpa Shi's side in a panic, helped him up, and patted him on the back to help him catch his breath. "Dad, don't be angry. Shi Xi is just being silly. I'll help you upstairs to rest."
Shi Hongming supported the other side, "Dad, please go upstairs and rest. Don't upset yourself. Xiao Xi is really something, she doesn't know how to respect her elders at all. Look how upset she's made your grandfather!"
Shi Xi: "..."
Mi Rou propped her head up with her hand, watching the three figures disappear into the distance.
“Xiaoxi, your second uncle… ha… his daughter is gone, but I didn’t see any heartbroken expression on their faces.”
Shi Xi glanced at Mi Rou with annoyance, "They're all selfish people. Shi Yue offended the Shi family and Master Chen. She wouldn't bring them any benefit if she were alive. What does it matter if she's gone?"
