Chapter 75 - Grandpa Shang’s Pressuring

As time passed, Shang Yan’s face became more and more gloomy. He asked in a cold voice, “Is this your attitude towards work?”

“It’s already been half an hour, and you still can’t see the problem,” Shang Yan narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, “We need efficient workers. If you can’t even fix such a simple problem, you should go collect your severance payment!”

The driver was so frightened that he almost threw the wrench on the ground. He gulped his saliva with a stunned and flustered expression. He was so nervous that he could not speak.

Grandpa Shang’s order and Shang Yan’s warning made the driver flustered about what to you

“Forget it, Shang Yan, don’t make things difficult for him.”

Qu Xiao pushed open the car door with a smile on her face. She lifted the hem of her skirt and walked to the driver’s side. She bent down to check where the car had malfunctioned.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She spread her hands naturally and took the wrench to turn the screw. She swiftly removed the cover on the surface.

“Actually, the two broken wires can be reconnected. However, the car still needs to be sent to the maintenance factory for a thorough check. Otherwise, there may be hidden safety hazards. “Gravel often appears on the road halfway up the mountain and get stuck in the gap between the tires. It’s very normal.”

Qu Xiao kindly explained for the driver. The driver was shocked and felt a little guilty.

This young madam… seemed to be different from before.

Qu Xiao tilted her head and pushed Shang Yan back into the car. She let out an inaudible sigh.

It seemed that Grandpa Shang was very angry with her. She knew that she had to be mentally prepared for what’s to come.

Seeing how late it was, the driver drove them all the way up the mountain without stopping

Qu Xiao lowered her head and saw the gasoline stains on the hem of her skirt. She furrowed her eyebrows slightly to hide it and then pushed Shang Yan nervously.

In the quiet living room, an old man with grizzled hair sat in the middle. His shrewd eyes sized Qu Xiao up. His entire body exuded a terrifying oppression. Qu Xiao felt that it was hard to breath standing in front of Grandpa Shang.

“Grandfather, you look good.”

Shang Yan greeted him with a smile. He took off his coat and placed it on Qu Xiao’s knee, trying to ease the atmosphere.

Qu Xiao maintained a polite smile. She felt that the corners of her mouth were somewhat stiff as she adjusted her posture. She was extremely well-behaved and did not dare to make a sound.

Grandpa Shang sized her up and said coldly, “I heard that you’re going back to school?”

Qu Xiao and Shang Yan raised their eyes in shock when they heard this. The two of them exchanged glances secretly. Neither of them expected that the reason grandfather called them back was actually because she wanted to go back to school!

Shang Yan wanted to speak up for Qu Xiao, but Grandpa Shang suddenly knocked on his crutch and interrupted him.

“If Liqing didn’t come back and mention this to me, how long would you have kept it from me?”

“Shang Yan! Do you not take me seriously anymore? Such an important decision… Don’t you even bother asking me about my thoughts?”

Grandpa Shang lectured him in a high-pitched voice. It looked like he was lecturing Shang Yan, but he was clearly blaming Qu Xiao.

Qu Xiao lowered her eyes nervously and felt her throat dry. She mustered up the courage to look up at Grandpa Shang and said in a tight voice, “Grandfather, it’s my fault for not discussing with you about wanting to start study again. Shang Yan only found out about it not long ago, please don’t blame him.”

“In the past, for reasons, I stopped studying. This has always been a regret in my heart.”

“Throughout my days with Shang Yan, I increasingly understood the importance of knowledge.”

“I want to improve my academic qualifications. I hope that you can support

me.”

Qu Xiao put on an extremely respective posture. She even wore a fawning smile as she nervously waited for Grandpa Shang’s reply.

Grandpa Shang frowned as he looked at her. He felt that Qu Xiao was not quite the same as before, but he still vetoed it with prejudice in his heart. “No!”

“The Shang family’s daughter-in-law’s only role is to stay at home and take care of Shang Yan. What’s the point of going back to school?”

“If you really want to learn something, I can find a teacher to teach you at home!”

Grandpa Shang was stubborn and refused to give in to Qu Xiao.

Qu Xiao lowered her head and did not answer for a long time.

When Grandpa Shang thought that she had made a compromise and wanted to invite the two of them to a restaurant for dinner, Qu Xiao suddenly looked up and said in a firm tone, “Grandpa, I’m sorry, I will have to disobey you. The enrollment procedures have been completed, I must go back.”

“How dare you! What right do you have to go against my wishes?”

Grandpa Shang was so angry that he started coughing. He pushed away the butler who had rushed over and pointed at Qu Xiao, “Which school dares to take you in?”

“I’ll ask the principal to expel you!”

Grandpa Shang glared at Shang Yan and said in a cold voice, “Or, there’s another way. You can divorce Shang Yan…”

“As long as you are not Shang Yan’s wife, I don’t care if you want to study or work.”
