Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Back then, in order to arouse Grandpa Hua’s guilt, Hua Ruoling had pretended to be teased by Ao Fengyang at the banquet. In the end, Ao Fengyang saw through Hua Ruoling’s trick, but he still refused to give up on her.

“Ruoling didn’t do it on purpose!” Ao Fengyang said stubbornly. “I can understand her difficulties.”

The highest realm of bootlickers was probably just like this.

Shi Xi sighed. “If you have time to stay in the rain, why don’t you do something useful?”

“Do you think she doesn’t want to see you because she doesn’t like you?”

Ao Fengyang pursed his lips.

Shi Xi reminded, “Hua Ruoling was born a proud daughter of the heavens, the apple of their eye. Now that she’s fallen from the altar, she can’t stand the psychological difference.”

“I know you don’t like me because I stole Hua Ruoling’s position in the Hua family.”

“However, even without me, can you win her heart?”

“Ruoling would be much happier without you!” Ao Fengyang said hatefully.

Shi Xi was speechless. “What Hua Ruoling likes is money, power, and status.”

“I heard that your family’s company is having a hard time.”

Ao Fengyang turned his head away and replied, “What does it have to do with you?! Mind your own business!”

Shi Xi chuckled. “I thought you were a smart person who knew what to do so that you didn’t need to look up to Hua Ruoling anymore.”

It wasn’t that Ao Fengyang didn’t know about this. He just didn’t want to believe that Hua Ruoling was such a superficial person.

Seeing that Ao Fengyang was still so persistent, Shi Xi handed the umbrella over and said, “Hold an umbrella for yourself first, then think about holding an umbrella for others.”

“You can’t possibly bring others to get wet in the rain, right?”

Ao Fengyang took the umbrella from Shi Xi, his gaze complicated.

Shi Xi did not say anything else. After giving the umbrella to Ao Fengyang, she opened the car door and returned to the car.

Hua Xuanhe saw that Shi Xi’s clothes were wet from the rain and scolded, “Why do you have to go down in such heavy rain? Is there anything that can’t be said in the car?”

“Some things are better said in person.” Shi Xi smiled faintly.

Before the car entered the manor, the two of them saw Ao Fengyang leave with an umbrella in the rearview mirror.

“What did you say to him?” Hua Xuanhe asked in surprise. “He’s willing to leave just like that?”

“I just said that the rain is too heavy today.”

Hua Xuanhe did not ask any more questions.

During this period of time, there were many people who advised Ao Fengyang not to wait. They did not expect Shi Xi to really persuade him to leave, which relieved them of their worries.

After all, it was annoying to see a grown man standing outside all the time.

When she entered the living room, a waiter handed Shi Xi a clean towel.

Hua Ruoling came down from upstairs, wearing her slippers and carrying a cat in her arms.

She stroked the cat’s back and looked at Shi Xi, saying excitedly, “Congratulations.”

“Congratulations for what?” asked Shi Xi.

She didn’t know what she had to congratulate her for.

Hua Ruoling smiled. “Grandpa and the Xie family are discussing your marriage with Second Xie. It will be decided sooner or later. I’m congratulating you in advance. Aren’t you happy?”

“Second Xie? When did I say I was going to marry him?” Shi Xi looked at Hua Xuanhe.

“The Xie family mentioned this before,” Hua Xuanhe said coldly. “We didn’t agree.”

However, Hua Ruoling gloated. “Second Xie is the only son of the Xie family. In the future, all the wealth of the Xie family will belong to him. You will be the Young Madam of the Xie family if you marry him. What’s there to be unwilling about?”

Shi Xi smiled. “If that’s the case, why don’t you marry him? I remember that the two of you have a close relationship..”
