Chapter 232: Look Great Together
It should not be like that.
Things should not end up as such.
Shen Xi, that brat was her flesh and blood.
Li Jingran should be the one in Gong Zhi’s place and having dinner with Mr. Fu!
Li He wiped away the cold sweat once they were at the door and he waited until they were in the lift before whispering to Li Jingran. “Jingran, it’s not my place to say this but you should accept Shen Xi back into the family.”
Pulling a sour face, Li Jingran buried her sharp nails into the flesh of her palms hanging by her sides. She spoke in hushed but spooky tones. “Do you think I’m in the wrong too?”
Li He took a deep breath. “You know it best, don’t you? She’s your daughter after all and blood is thicker than water. She doesn’t seem like a bad child. She will forgive you if you approach her and admit you’re wrong.”
Li Jingran’s eyes were terrifyingly dark, and she could explode with her emotions running high. She kept to herself, finding it hard to breathe as the earlier incident came into mind.
Li He continued. “Just think about what I said.”
Shen Xi was the finest in looks, talents, and social skills. It was with great pride and luck to have such a daughter. In this circumstance, she must learn to give and take.
Li Jingran pondered for a long time and finally spoke up when they were out of the lift. “She won’t come back to the family.”
These words seemed to carry a deep resentment and remorse all at once. She appeared to be talking to herself while at the same time answering his question.
Watching her receding figure, Li Hi sighed to himself. Well, there was no point crying over spilled milk now!
He wanted to tell her to make it up to Shen Xi since they really broke her heart. Perhaps it was a great decision to send Su Ruowan back to her own home.
Everyone had their own ego trip. It was every child’s wish to have their parents’ undivided attention and love all to themselves, especially daughters who desire their family’s love.
However, because Jingran’s family did not raise Shen Xi, they favored Su Ruowan and snubbed Shen Xi, causing the latter a heartbreak and despair which obviously led to the current tension.
However, based on his recent observation and recent happenings, Shen Xi was not completely without a heart. This was evident by how she treated her adoptive parents. Things may turn for the better if Jingran and family sat down and had a good talk.
Meanwhile, in the revolving restaurant, Gong Zhi was quite the talker despite only meeting Fu Qingye once. She lamented over the man of commanding and outstanding presence.
Should she be younger by twenty years, Gong Zhi would do whatever it took to woo him. A good man like him was hard to come by.
It was a pity that he could be her son at his age. It was rather inappropriate, and she should not have illicit thoughts about him.
Lifting her chin, she observed the youngsters sitting opposite her.
Fu Qingye creased his brows as he focused on peeling the prawns and placing the meat on Shen Xi’s plate. He smiled tenderly. “Try this. This is a dish recommended by the chef.”
Shen Xi frowned at the fish and prawns piled on her plate and mumbled under her breath. “I haven’t finished.”
Letting out a doting grin, Fu Qingye placed the plate on his plate and gently said, “Take your time.”
Gong Zhi was alive again. She might not be able to pursue Fu Qingye, but she could be front and center, shipping the sweet couple here. Xixi and Mr. Fu really looked great together.
