The daughter of a general is so cool in the novel about a wealthy family

When Yuan Shu heard the voice on the phone, some memories of the host suddenly emerged in his mind.

The woman who claimed to be her mother was actually her stepmother.

The host's biological mother had been in poor health since giving birth to her. She became mentally ill after giving birth and still had to breastfeed the child. The host's father also had an affair. The host's mother stayed with the host until she was six years old. However, less than two years later, the host's father married another wife, and this wife was the one he had an affair with.

At that time, Yuan Shu, who was only eight years old, could only express her dissatisfaction by crying. Her father dealt with it by throwing her a bank card and letting her go on a shopping spree.

"Growing up in such a family environment, it's no wonder that the host is unruly, willful, and yet lacks a sense of security."

Yuan Shu sighed and interrupted the chat on the other end of the phone.

"Mrs. Duan Yan, first of all, you are not my biological mother. When I was young, you did not fulfill your motherly duties. So, please do not say that you are my mother. You are not worthy of this title."

Yuan Shu sighed. She should have remembered their names correctly.

"Secondly, please tell my father that the affairs of the Shi family are not something I can interfere with for the time being. All I can do is try my best to help the Shi family tide over the difficulties and wait for Shi Xiao to come back. As for the so-called bridge-building, that is not within my ability. You should find another way to make a living."

Yuan Shu hung up the phone after she finished speaking. She turned around and saw Shi Lu walking downstairs.

"Did you hear everything?" Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows and looked at Shi Lu.

The phone rang again, and Yuan Shu hung up without even looking at it.

"Are you also from a mixed family?" Shi Lu suddenly asked.

He was not very close to Shi Xiao and Shi Bin. Both of them were born to Mr. Shi's first wife, and they were the eldest and second sons respectively.

He is different. At first he was just an illegitimate child, and his mother taught him to know how to please others.

Later, Mrs. Shi got into a car accident, and Shi Lu and his mother were taken back to the Shi family, becoming the current Mrs. Shi and the second young master. Shi Xiao and Shi Bin didn't like him. He was always cautious before he became an adult. After he was admitted to university, he moved away and rarely contacted the Shi family. Later, he entered the entertainment industry and didn't want to reveal his identity, so he changed his name to Shen Lu.

Originally, he just wanted to go downstairs to find something to eat, but he didn't expect that Yuan Shu was also from a mixed family, which surprised him.

He always thought that Yuan Shu's family must be very happy, and he poured all his love into her, but he didn't expect that they were a blended family.

He looked at Yuan Shu and thought of the ice cream she handed him in the afternoon. For some reason, he had a feeling that they were in the same boat.

"I don't look like someone from a reconstituted family?" Yuan Shu looked at him with a smile.

"You must be hungry, come and eat. Aunt Wu made delicious shrimp and tofu soup today."

Shi Lu accepted Yuan Shu's invitation, sat at the dining table, and drank his soup silently. He was not good at socializing, so he didn't feel awkward not talking while eating.

Apart from…

Shi Lu couldn't help but look at Yuan Shu, who was holding an antique porcelain spoon in his fair hands and drinking the soup mouthful by mouthful. Yuan Shu's lips were rosy, like freshly picked cherries. Shi Lu realized that something was wrong with him and suddenly choked up.

"uh-huh……"

"Are you okay?" Yuan Shu looked at Shi Lu with concern. Shi Lu put down the bowl, waved his hands repeatedly, then stood up and ran upstairs.

"I'm full, I'm going back to my room first."

At five o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Shi Xiao's secretary came to the Shi family villa to pick up Yuan Shu.

"Hello, Madam. I am Zhao Mian, the secretary of President Shi. You can just call me Xiao Zhao. You rarely have meetings with President Shi, so you may not be familiar with the twists and turns here. Please try to speak less later. I will handle this matter."

Although Zhao Mian's words were blunt, fortunately Yuan Shu was not angry at all. Instead, she nodded and said to her, "Thank you."

Zhao Mian really couldn't understand. She still remembered that on the second day after the engagement, Yuan Shu ran to the headquarters and made a big fuss. He warned all female employees not to have any plans against the president, and even went to the president to threaten and show off.

How come she has become so reasonable and easy-going now?

Yuan Shu didn't think much about it. She was indeed not familiar with Li Ci, and although she had learned a lot, there were still many things she had not mastered thoroughly, such as foreign languages, business and so on.

She was born in a military family and only learned how to split the monthly payments after she got married. If she really talked to this old fox who had been in the business world for a long time, she would probably be treated as a fool.

There are professionals in this industry, so it is better to leave things to professionals.

"If you have no objection, let's go now." After Zhao Mian opened the car door for Yuan Shu, he saw Yuan Shu waving.

"Zhou Yan, drive."

Li Ci and Li Ran were also packing up at this time, but compared with Zhao Mian's cautiousness, they seemed very careless.

"Uncle, how could a man like Mr. Shi marry a woman like Yuan Shu?" Li Ran couldn't help but ask as he watched Chu Mei's press conference yesterday.

"Her family background is average. She can't compare to the Shi family's wealth, nor can she compare to our family's power. Her only redeeming quality is probably that she is much better than that vixen Chu Mei." Li Ran felt a little sick when he saw Chu Mei crying and blaming Shi Xiao on TV.

Who was Chu Mei pretending for? Did Chu Mei really think that she didn't know that Chu Mei and Gao Shan were having an affair? If there was no solid evidence, she would not have tolerated Chu Mei until now.

Li Ci chose a gray tie, tied a Windsor knot, and then glanced at the TV.

"Maybe Yuan Shu has some conspiracy, and this woman's brain is not very good. If they can't live together in the future, it will be easy to divorce. No one should think of causing trouble."

Li Ci adjusted the position of her collar pin in front of the mirror and said, "As for you, I really don't understand what you like about Gao Shan, and why you don't want to get a divorce."

When Li Ran heard him say this, he was stunned and lowered his head.

"He was very good to me in college. He brought me breakfast and went to class with me... I want to wait a little longer. Maybe he will change his ways."

Li Ci didn't say anything else, but just reached out and stroked his niece's hair.

"Silly girl."

When Yuan Shu and others arrived at the agreed place, Li Ci and Li Ran were already waiting at their seats.

The Vienna Hotel only receives guests from the upper class. The waiters are well-trained and will not gossip about what they see or hear. It is a good place for negotiations. The private room that Li Ci booked is the most upscale one, on the top floor, overlooking the entire city.

"Mrs. Shi, you're here." The door of the box was pushed open. After the waiter led them in, he closed the door and left. Li Ci was the first to greet them.

"Mr. Li, Ms. Li, long time no see." Zhao Mian took the lead in shaking hands, then made way for Yuan Shu who was following behind him, "This is Mrs. Shi."

"Hello, Mr. Li, Ms. Li."

From the moment he entered the door, Yuan Shu looked at the decoration layout.

The room was indeed decorated magnificently, enough to impress those who did not know much about the world, but she had been accustomed to grand occasions since she was a child, and had even received an imperial edict from the emperor, so to her, this was not a big deal.

Li Ci and Li Ran looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

The last time I saw Yuan Shu was at her wedding to Shi Xiao. The newlyweds came to toast her. Yuan Shu was wearing heavy makeup and looked very proud. But at this moment, Yuan Shu seemed like a different person.

She no longer wore overly bright lipstick or thick foundation, but only drew her eyebrows and applied nude lipstick. She wore a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace on her slender neck and a Chanel dress, looking noble and elegant.

Did Shi Xiao hire an etiquette teacher for her?

Seeing that everyone was present, Li Ci asked everyone to take a seat and handed the menu to Yuan Shu.

"We ordered a few dishes randomly. I don't know if they suit your taste. Please take a look and see if there is anything else you want to add."

Yuan Shu took the menu, put it aside without opening it.

She smiled and said to Li Ci, "No need. I think you asked me out not just to treat me to a meal. Mr. Li, go ahead."
