SWNOVELS Chapter 30
"That's what you say, but you know about the incident that day, don't you? Wei had begged her so many times already, and when did Wei ever not come back in tears? How could that brat be so cruel? There's nothing she can't do!" Jiang Yu gritted her teeth, harboring a strong grievance against Shi Nuan. "In any case, we can't mess up today. Go give Shi Nuan a call. Tell her that the old man misses her and that she must come back!"
Jiang Yu felt that no one should ever make Shi Wei, her precious little girl, suffer. But after the old man found out about what happened between Shi Nuan and Fu Xicheng, he became infuriated. As long as Shi Nuan didn't approve of Shi Wei's and Fu Xicheng's marriage, the old man would be against it too.
Jiang Yu was so mad that she nearly quarreled with the old man. But, the woman knew what was on his mind and was aware of the fact that he was still in charge of the Shi family.
"OK, OK, I know what to do!" Shi Jingzheng was irritated as well. The marriage could have worked out, but Shi Nuan had chosen to come back now, of all times!
Shi Nuan naturally wouldn't know that her parents already had everything planned out before she arrived.
She picked a decent-looking dress to wear. The last time she came back, she had left her luggage behind to run to the hotel and consequently lost most of her clothes.
Shi Nuan hadn't had the time to buy more outfits ever since her return. All the clothes she had right now were whatever she had already owned before going on her business trip.
She checked herself out in the mirror and put on some light makeup before driving off in her car.
Even though Shi Wei and Fu Xicheng had done such a horrendous deed, it had nothing to do with the old man. It was his birthday today, so Shi Nuan had to show up.
Arriving outside the villa in Hanlin District, Shi Nuan saw that many cars had been parked outside and she couldn't drive in at all. She laughed sarcastically at the sight before opening the door to exit the car. Of course, Shi Nuan knew what Shi Jingzheng and the others were up to- they would organize a grand celebration for the old man, and once all the respectable figures were there, that was when they would bring her out along with Shi Wei and Fu Xicheng.
By that time, she wouldn't be able to run away and would be forced to accept their decision alongside her grandfather.
Shi Nuan clutched her purse and took a deep breath. Just then, she received a call from Shi Jingzheng. "Where are you now, Nuan? Grandpa has been waiting for you."
Shi Nuan narrowed her eyes. Not too far off, she could see Shi Wei and Fu Xicheng welcoming the guests. Her grip on her phone tightened. Shi Jingzheng thought Shi Nuan hadn't arrived yet since he didn't hear her reply, so he continued, "We're a family.
If there's any misunderstanding, we can meet and solve it together. You...can also let grandpa know if you have any problems, right? But if you don't come, grandpa's going to be really sad, Nuan..."
"I know," Shi Nuan grew impatient and interrupted Shi Jingzheng. "Of course I'll be attending grandpa's birthday celebration. As for what I'm going through, don't you know about it, father?"
Shi Jingzheng was dumbfounded. He wouldn't have ever expected his obedient daughter to talk to him like that. Unable to get over his ego, he said, "Cut the nonsense. You're my daughter; if someone ever mistreats you, I'll make sure justice is served. Stop throwing a fuss and come back now!"
Shi Nuan hung up the phone and stared mockingly at the entrance. Seeing Shi Wei lean on Fu Xicheng was such an eyesore to her.
Are they THAT impatient? Do they really have to humiliate me during such an occasion?
