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

Even if he did not get involved in family affairs, he knew that the Jiang family, the Xu family and the Shi family were irreconcilable enemies.

It turns out that Shi Yi is the third daughter of the Shi family. Didn’t she study abroad before? When did she return?

Xu Zhi then realized that he had known Shi Yi for such a long time but had never talked about personal topics. He didn't know the environment in which the other person grew up, and he didn't know that their meeting was wrong from the beginning.

Now everything makes sense. No wonder Shi Yi knew her mentor Wang Jiao. The Wang family is the most indifferent yet most powerful family in the upper class.

He thought that maybe Shi Yi was just an undergraduate student that his mentor had taught before, so he never asked.

There is a tacit understanding between him and Shi Yi that has never been revealed. They will deliberately avoid topics that the other party does not want to mention, as if it were Pandora's box.

The reason why Pandora's Box is tempting is that what is in the box is enough to subvert and destroy everything.

Why did it have to be now? Why didn't she let him know who she was sooner?

Xu Zhi found it a little hard to accept, but as soon as this thought came to his mind, he had another question: even if she didn't say it now, when should she say it?

He developed a liking for Shi Yi the first time they met.

But no matter what, they will meet eventually. Even if it is not at a fabric exhibition, it will be at a high-society dance. When they first met, he was attracted by the confident, generous and enthusiastic Shi Yi.

Jiang Chen smiled confidently and called out, "Xu Zhi?"

The phone has not been hung up, but there has been no movement on the other end for a long time.

Xu Zhi turned around and replied calmly, "Cousin, I'm here."

Jiang Chen just reminded him, "Come to my house after the dance. I have something to discuss with you."

"OK…"

The call was over, but Xu Zhi was still holding the phone.

Facing Shi Yi admiring the necklace in the mirror, he didn't know how to react. He had allowed things to develop to this point, leaving the two of them with no way out. How should he explain to Shi Yi and how should he introduce himself?

Should I just tell her: "Shi Yi, do you like me? Do you like Xu Zhi from the Xu family?"

He had always wanted to leave his family and make a living for himself, but he was always trapped by his family. This family that gave him everything was destined not to let him leave so easily. From the moment he was forced to join Lingxia Garment Factory, there was no turning back between him and Shi Yi.

After a long time, Xu Zhi calmed down. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times. Finally, he put down his phone and walked in with a wry smile.

Shi Yi looked at him with a smile, not noticing the strange expression on his face, "What did you say you liked?"

Shi Yi had already guessed what he wanted to say, but was interrupted by the phone call, so she chose to give him another chance to speak.

Xu Zhi felt a little disappointed, and the smile on his face was almost gone, but he still tried to make the smile look more natural, "Do you like this necklace?"

Shi Yi was stunned. Looking at Xu Zhi's face in the mirror, she was no longer as calm as before. She even felt a little lost. It turned out that she had just had an illusion.

She forced a smile, but her mood was no longer as good as before, and even her necklace was not as beautiful as before. "Yeah, it's okay."

Xu Zhi said, "This is it." After that, he took out his card and asked the clerk to swipe it.

When he looked at Shi Yi again, she had taken off the necklace and the clerk helped her put it into the box.

The disappointment in Shi Yi's eyes made Xu Zhi feel a pang of pain in his heart, but he was powerless to do anything.

The clerk came back after swiping the card and handed the card and receipt to Xu Zhi, "Hello, the total is 100,000. Here is the receipt and the necklace. Please accept them."

Xu Zhi took it and walked out of the store with Shi Yi.

Xu Zhi was about to say something, but Shi Yi said listlessly: "Sorry, I'm a little tired, how about we stop here?"

Xu Zhi didn't know how to make her feel better, so he nodded helplessly.

The two walked side by side without saying a word, and the atmosphere became awkward.

The driver was already waiting for Shi Yi at the door. Xu Zhi opened the back door for her. Before Shi Yi got in the car, Xu Zhi suddenly stopped her and said, "Shi Yi, wait a moment."

Shi Yi looked up at him, waiting for him to continue.

Xu Zhi wanted to say something, but hesitated. After thinking for a long time, he handed her the bag containing the necklace and said, "This necklace suits you very well. I hope you like it."

Thinking of her own delusions, Shi Yi felt like crying. Xu Zhi's words did not comfort her at all. She could only try to smile, but she couldn't, so she had to give up.

Shi Yi took the bag, said "thank you" politely, then got in the car and left without even rolling down the window.

The sky suddenly became gloomy, and large dark clouds gathered. Soon, raindrops began to fall, first one drop at a time on the roof and window glass. Then, the drizzle turned into a downpour, and even the vision became blurred.

The air conditioner was on in the car and the driver didn't say anything. The silence made the sound of rain clearer. Shi Yi looked at the rain outside the car, her mood was as gloomy as the weather. She couldn't help but let out the tears she had been holding back for a long time.

Drops of tears fell onto the dark blue paper bag, and at that moment, the texture of the bag began to split along the cracks, as if something was shattering, determined to turn the necklace hidden within into a part of these tears.

Ever since Xu Zhi sent Shi Yi away, he has been standing there motionless. Even though the heavy rain soaked his body, he still stared at the direction where Shi Yi left for a long time.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, so Shi Xiao had to stay at home.

Shi Xiao had only been back for a few days and was busy dealing with Yuan Shu's affairs. Before he had the chance to ask to see Liu Lan, Zhao Cheng called and said that Liu Lan wanted to see him.

Liu Lan was his lifesaver, and it was indeed inappropriate to neglect his savior these days. Shi Xiao had just finished dealing with some things and was about to leave, but a storm started to blow outside, so Shi Xiao had to give up and go back to his room to deal with other things.

Before entering the house, he subconsciously glanced at Yuan Shu's bedroom, and the bedroom door was closed.

The two of them didn't spend much time together. Apart from eating together, Yuan Shu stayed in his room most of the time and rarely came out.

There is a bathroom in the bedroom. Yuan Shu doesn't like to eat snacks, so she hardly ever leaves the room. In the afternoon, Li Yue cut some seasonal fruits and brought them to her. Until now, there has been no movement inside.

Shi Xiao was actually very curious. What was she doing staying in the room alone for so long?

Just as he was thinking about it, the door suddenly opened, and Yuan Shu, wearing a woolen sweater and casual pants, walked out with a wine glass and a finished fruit plate, and his eyes met Shi Xiao's.

Yuan Shu saw that he was well-dressed and asked coldly, "Are you going out?"

Shi Xiao nodded: "Yes, but it's raining a bit hard outside, so I won't go out for the time being."

"Oh."

Yuan Shu didn't ask any more questions and went downstairs with the wine glass and fruit plate.

After a while, Shi Xiao heard Yuan Shu say to Li Yue: "Go to my room and get a pot of spring water later."

This is Yuan Shu's habit. Since moving back, Yuan Shu would ask Li Yue to fetch a bucket of spring water to make tea every afternoon.

When Yuan Shu returned upstairs, Shi Xiao was still standing at the bedroom door.

Yuan Shu glanced at him, but didn't intend to say anything. He just nodded slightly and greeted him, then prepared to go back to his room.

Shi Xiao stopped her, "Yuan Shu, Li Ci said that you two went to a teahouse to drink tea together before. It is said that you are very good at making tea. I wonder if you can give it a try this afternoon?"

Shi Xiao looked at her. Although he was asking questions, his tone was firm, as if he had to drink her tea today.

She opened the door and walked in, then made way for Shi Xiao and said, "Please come in."
