Chapter 166 Just Friends
"That's not what I meant. I just hope you can respect my choice." Shi Yue took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions.
"Your choice? Your choice is that ordinary girl named Bai Youyou? I tell you, I will never agree to you two being together!" Old Master Shi slammed the table and said angrily.
Shi Yue was stunned, then he thought of something and became a little annoyed;
"Grandpa, are you investigating her?"
Mr. Shi snorted, "You went to a woman's house in the middle of the night. I have to know what kind of person she is, right?"
Shi Yue sat down across from the desk somewhat absentmindedly. He really didn't want to drag Bai Youyou into this. He didn't want to lose such a rare friend with whom he could chat.
"Grandpa, she and I are very good friends, not the kind of relationship you think."
Master Shi glanced at him coldly and said, "Do you think I will believe you if you say that? Anyway, I will not agree with you two being together!"
"Grandpa, why can't you listen to my explanation? Youyou and I are just friends, there is nothing between us." Shi Yue felt powerless. He didn't know how to make his grandpa understand his thoughts.
"Friend? Do you think I'm old and confused?" Old Master Shi obviously didn't believe Shi Yue's explanation.
"We are really just friends, don't think too much." Shi Yue tried to explain, but Mr. Shi didn't give him a chance.
"That's enough. I don't want to hear your explanation anymore. Like you said, since we are friends, then friends shouldn't affect your marriage, right?"
"On the contrary, true friends should bless you. Then you have even less reason to refuse to marry Fanyi." Old Master Shi's attitude was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
"You..." Shi Yue wanted to say something, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Old Master Shi.
"You don't have to say anymore. I'm old and can't stand the hardship. Just pity an old man like me and agree to me." As Mr. Shi said this, he actually started coughing, looking like a frail old man.
Shi Yue looked at the old man in front of him who was once a powerful figure, and now was forcing him in this way. He felt mixed emotions.
He knew that no matter what he said, he could not change his grandfather's decision.
He could only close his eyes helplessly and take a deep breath.
"I understand, Grandpa." Shi Yue's voice was low, but it revealed a deep sense of powerlessness.
When Mr. Shi heard Shi Yue's answer, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"That's right, Grandpa is doing this for your own good." Old Man Shi said, patting Shi Yue on the shoulder, as if everything was under his control.
Shi Yue didn't say anything, he just stood up, turned around silently, and left the study.
His back looked particularly lonely under the dim light.
Old Master Shi felt sad to see his grandson, whom he had raised, so lonely, but a serious illness requires drastic measures, so he had to be a bad guy and force him. Before he left, he had to find someone to accompany him.
This child has been so lonely since childhood. "Ayue, don't blame grandpa. Grandpa just hopes that someone can accompany you instead of grandpa...Fanyi is a good girl and can help you in all aspects."
It was midnight again and everything was quiet.
He Wenxuan was sleeping soundly, but was abruptly awakened by a life-threatening phone call from Shi Yue.
He stood up with a look of helplessness on his face, put on his clothes in a daze while still sleepy, then grabbed the car keys and drove straight to the Landing Club at lightning speed.
The entire private room No. 2 was eerily silent, as if even the air had frozen.
He Wenxuan waved his hand and asked the staff guarding private room No. 2 to leave quietly.
He walked slowly to the sofa in the private room, only to see Shi Yue sitting there with a dejected look on his face.
Shi Yue, who has always been very sensible and pays great attention to his image, now has his shirt collar wide open, and his originally shiny hair has become messy.
He leaned against the sofa, one hand casually resting on the back of the sofa, the other hand tightly holding the wine glass, immersed in drinking one glass after another.
He Wenxuan rushed forward, snatched the wine glass from his lips, frowned and said: "Your sleep and rest schedule is already messy, and now you drink so much, do you want to go to the hospital again for gastric perforation?"
Shi Yue stared blankly at his empty hands, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I asked you to come here to accompany me, not to teach me a lesson."
He Wenxuan placed the wine glass steadily on the table, then sat down next to him and said calmly, "Go ahead."
"What?" Shi Yue's face was full of confusion.
"Didn't you call me here just to listen to your complaints? Did you want me to come and watch the movie king get drunk?" He Wenxuan teased.
Shi Yue regretted very much that he had called this psychopath over. It was simply causing trouble for him!
"It seems that the person you want to complain to is not me. Unfortunately, someone is in a coma now and can't listen to your nagging." Shi Yue glanced at him, and He Wenxuan finally shut up obediently.
After hesitating for a moment, Shi Yue finally told everyone everything that happened today.
He Wenxuan seemed to have discovered a shocking piece of news and quickly grasped the key point: "You are getting married? Congratulations!"
Shi Yue's face was filled with black lines: "...I think you can get out of here quickly now..."
He Wenxuan quickly smiled and said with interest: "No, who will help you analyze the situation after I leave?"
"You are here to cause trouble for me. I regret calling you here. Please leave now."
"Actually, this matter is serious, but it can also be solved if you say it's not serious!"
Shi Yue looked at him like a fool and said coldly, "How do you solve this? If you can't explain it, I will beat you so hard that even your father won't recognize you."
"Hehe, Master Bai is so powerful, please ask her to dig up some dirt on the Chu family and force them to clarify it themselves." He Wenxuan poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip, his face full of intoxication, with an endless aftertaste...
Shi Yue felt as if his Ren and Du meridians were suddenly opened up by someone, and he thought to himself: It seems... that is the case.
If the Chu family came forward to clarify, then it would be none of my business.
"But if my master finds out that I dragged Master Bai into this, he will definitely think that she was behind it, and then we will never be able to clear ourselves of the blame even if we jump into the Yellow River."
"Are you afraid that the old man will deal with her?"
He Wenxuan asked him in a slurred voice while still eating watermelon.
Shi Yue nodded heavily, "The old man seems to have become gentler in recent years, but not everyone can handle his methods. A leader who can create Jiang Yue is definitely not an ordinary person."
"Don't worry about it. Things will work out when the time comes. Master Bai is your trump card. You'll know if it works when she wakes up." Shi Yue suddenly remembered those bright black eyes that could see through everything. In an instant, hope surged into his heart like a tide.
