Chapter 33
Happy Cooperation
At this moment, at the entrance of the Shi family’s villa, a middle-aged couple was arguing with the maid.
“I already said that I’m Yuan Shu’s mother. Can’t you hear me? Why won’t you let me in?” The woman who claimed to be Yuan Shu’s mother was dressed in a gaudy manner. Her clothes were the latest design from Gucci, and the bag she carried was a classic PRADA bag. The watch on her wrist was Patek Philippe. It could be seen that she had put in a lot of effort for this meeting.
When Shi Bin arrived at the door, he saw the maid, who had a troubled expression, and Duan Yan, who was still arguing.
When the maid saw him, it was as if she had seen her savior. She hurriedly went forward to welcome him.
“Fourth Young Master, you’re back. Madam has something on today and is dining outside. What do you want to eat? I’ll instruct the kitchen to prepare it.”
“There’s no hurry.” Shi Bin gestured for the maid to tell him the situation. “What’s going on?”
The maid told Shi Bin everything in detail. Duan Yan, who was beside them, was very dissatisfied with Shi Bin for ignoring her. She went forward and said, “You’re the fourth young master of the Shi family, right? My daughter, Yuan Shu, is your sister-in-law. His father and I came to visit today. Not only did she not come out to welcome us, but now, your servant is even stopping us from entering. You guys are such bullies!”
“Enough, stop talking!” Yuan Hao couldn’t help but say.
When he married Duan Yan, he thought that she was innocent and gentle. He didn’t expect that at that time, she was just putting on an act. Now, she was becoming more and more like a shrew. She gave him a headache every day.
“Fourth Young Master, please be reasonable. Is there a daughter who blocks her parents from entering the house?” Yuan Hao saw that Shi Bin was a reasonable person and couldn’t help but complain, “I already said that we’re Yuan Shu’s parents, but your servant insisted that we show evidence. Where can I get evidence for her?!”
Shi Bin wanted to wait for him to finish speaking, but the door opened at this moment. Shi Lu had already seen them arguing for a long time and couldn’t take it anymore, so he rushed out.
“Didn’t she make it clear enough on the phone yesterday? If you really want business deals, go negotiate them yourselves. Don’t waste time here. Also, the easiest way to prove your identities is to call her and ask her to prove your identities.” Shi Lu’s handsome face turned cold as he looked at them impassively.
“If possible, please make the call quickly. Otherwise, I’ll call the police and say that you guys are trespassing.”
…
“Is there anything else you want to know?” Li Ci couldn’t help but remind her when she saw that Yuan Shu was deep in thought and didn’t pay attention to their conversation at all.
What was she thinking? Was she thinking about how to win a man’s heart, or how much money she could get after a divorce?
“Huh? Sorry, I was distracted just now.” Yuan Shu only came back to her senses when Zhao Mian gently pulled her sleeve and said apologetically.
“It’s fine. Our conversation was indeed a little boring. It’s normal for Madam to be uninterested.” Li Ci mocked Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu’s expression didn’t change as she picked up the teacup and took another sip. It was good Longjing tea, but the person who made the tea wasn’t good at it.
“Mr. Li, you must be joking. However, regarding this question, I want to say my opinion. Mr. Li, please don’t mock me. If there’s anything wrong with what I say, please point it out.”
Li Ci’s interest was piqued when he heard her words and he leaned over to look at Yuan Shu.
“I’d like to hear the details.”
The hosts and guests had a good dinner. Even when they parted, Li Ci looked at Yuan Shu approvingly.
“I didn’t expect you to be such a wise person. I was in the wrong for looking down on you. I hope you can forgive me.”
Yuan Shu also shook hands with Li Ci politely and said goodbye.
“However, Madam, I want to ask, don’t you have anything you want to ask the President?” As Li Ci watched Yuan Shu shake her head, he couldn’t help but marvel. As expected, a woman like her wouldn’t be dragged down by love. When she was in love with Shi Xiao, she insisted on marrying him. Now that she was clear-headed, she didn’t even care about her husband’s well-being anymore.
Before Li Ci could finish marveling, he heard Yuan Shu say, “He won’t die.”
Li Ci froze, then he looked into Yuan Shu’s eyes.
“I said, he won’t die,” Yuan Shu repeated firmly.
