“hua xuanhe said that he found you a role in a movie.” xie yunzhou seemed to have mentioned it casually.

“he told you?” shi xi looked over.

xie yunzhou was helpless. he confessed, “hua xuanhe asked about you. he asked me to persuade you to go to yanjing.”

shi xi drank the water slowly, her mind whirling.

“are you thinking about hua ruoling?” xie yunzhou asked.

“yes.” shi xi nodded and said with a mixture of melancholy and worry, “she almost killed gu yinuo when they got her identity wrong. if 1 return to the hua family, will 1 encounter the same situation?”

xie yunzhou’s eyes darkened. “1’11 go back with you.”

“i’m not afraid that hua ruoling will target me.” shi xi leaned back in her chair and looked into the distance. “i’m just afraid that the hua family will protect hua ruoling and do something else.”

“i’m not gu yinuo. i’m not as kind as her and willing to issue a letter of forgiveness.”

“but when the time comes, if hua wenyin begs me to forgive hua ruoling, or if hua xuanhe lets me turn this big issue into a small one…”

xie yunzhou did not expect shi xi to think so much. he looked at the girl with heartache. “then we won’t go back.”

“if i don’t go back, they will keep harassing the people around me.” shi xi was helpless.

xie yunzhou was silent for a moment before he suggested, “do you want to go abroad? go overseas to relax.”

shi xi shook her head. “1 still have work to do!”

xie yunzhou held the girl’s hand and said, “i’ll accompany you to the hua family. go back to visit the elders of the hua family once a month and don’t interact too much with them, okay?”

shi xi thought about it and thought that this was indeed a good idea. “sure.”

with someone accompanying her, she felt more at ease.

“maybe hua ruoling has learned her lesson and won’t do anything to you.” xie yunzhou smiled lightly.

shi xi took a deep breath. “it better be like this.”

she didn’t want to be so stiff with her family.

when mother shi knew that shi xi was going to the hua family, she immediately started buying gifts for her.

shi xi was lying on the sofa, munching on melon seeds and playing with the cat while watching television. “mom, i’m going to meet my family, not to send a betrothal gift. do 1 need to bring so many things?”

“what are you talking about? that’s your biological mother’s house, the hua family! if you don’t bring anything good, what if you’re looked down upon by others?” as mother shi spoke, she asked the auntie to bring out father shi’s treasured wine.

“isn’t it a pity to give the wine away? why don’t we drink it ourselves?” when shi xi heard that, she sat up straight.

mother shi glared at her.

ning yu came back from outside and saw that the living room was filled with things. her eyes were filled with doubt.

what was mother shi doing?

“ning yu is back? xi xi is going to the hua family,” mother shi explained. “i’m looking at what to bring!”

“i’ll go over myself,” shi xi added.

“don’t say anything. just lie down.”

shi xi continued to lie down and said to the cat, “zhou zhou, you can’t be like your grandmother in the future and give all the good things to outsiders. if there’s anything good, we have to keep it for ourselves, understand?”

“meow!”

mother shi, who was being ridiculed:”…”

when mother shi saw ning yu, she thought of something and said, “ning yu, the festival is coming soon. 1’11 give big brother ning and big sister ning something too. what do they like?”

ning yu was about to say that there was no need when shi xi interrupted her.

“give some bird’s nest and donkey-hide glue, as well as cordyceps,” shi xi said. “they don’t drink tea. don’t send red wine either. send two boxes of maotai.”

“alright, alright, 1’11 listen to you.”

ning yu saw this and could only accept it silently. “thank you..”
