Chapter 543 Are You Suspecting Xiaoru?
Shi Xi didn't know, and the rest of the Sheng family didn't know, but he was the only one...
"Opportunity?" Shi Xi frowned and asked.
Why is this different from what I originally thought?
She thought that the old lady would be disappointed in her, but she didn't expect that the old lady would let herself break the engagement.
But... Isn't it because I was caught when I sneaked away?
How could the old man forgive himself?
"What, don't you want it?" Mrs. Sheng was particularly dissatisfied with Shi Xi's reaction.
What's going on with this girl? She has already let go. Since she still looks confused?
"No." Shi Xi lowered his head and responded.
She just didn't expect it.
The old man gave herself the opportunity to terminate the engagement, but the engagement banquet between her and Ji Chengyun was no different from being told to the world. Everyone knows that if they rashly terminate the engagement, they still don’t know what others would say to the Sheng family and to themselves!
The old man didn't say anything, but he took the lead in moving his chopsticks.
She only has so much to say to Shi Xi, and it’s time to click. No matter how much she has, it’s up to Shi Xi to understand it herself.
Shi Xi's intelligence is never denied, but women's intelligence is used elsewhere. If she could really listen to her words, she wouldn't have made such a fuss...
Shi Xi and the old man enjoyed a rare and quiet dinner. No one disturbed him, no quarrels or conflicts, and everything was very peaceful and peaceful.
After dinner, Shi Xi saw the maid bringing in a lot of clothes.
"Is this?" Shi Xi was reading a book. Seeing this, he closed the book and asked in confusion.
"Oh, this is the clothes you bought by the old lady for Miss Sun. Isn't Miss Sun going to work in Sheng tomorrow? These are your work clothes!"
“…”
After dinner, she heard the old man say she wanted to take over Sheng's family by herself, but for Shi Xi, she hadn't entered the business district for a long time.
I worked at Shi before thanks to an acquaintance, otherwise, how could she have enough experience as a college student who just entered society?
The condition for the old lady and Shi Xi to trade is to allow women to bring Sheng's stock price to a new height in a short period of time.
Before, because the old man was ill in bed, Sheng's family had always been taking care of Ji Chengyun. Now Shi Xi is back. As the heir, she should take over the family business.
In fact, this transaction is not cost-effective for Shi Xi.
Because if she lost the bet, she had to obey the old man's arrangements, marry Ji Chengyun, and live a life without freedom from then on.
"Okay, then you can put these clothes in." Shi Xi said vaguely, seeing the maid nodding, he was about to do things, and got up and approached her.
The maid was busy with work and did not notice Shi Xi's movements.
"You said, you entered Shengjia Manor not long ago?" Shi Xi asked in a low voice, his tone very casually.
The maid was packing her clothes, but without thinking about it, she nodded directly and said yes.
"Did you hear so many things about this mansion from others?"
When the maid heard this, her spine stiffened and her clothes were being packed.
"Sun, why did Miss Sun ask that? Do you doubt Xiaoru?" The maid smiled, but her smile was a little bit forced. Anyone could see that the maid was unnatural.
Did you really tell me the right thing?
Shi Xi pursed her lips and did not answer.
Suspect.
She was really a little suspicious, especially when she saw the corner of her clothes, Shi Xi's suspicion became even deeper.
But at present, she has no evidence and cannot fully expose the maid.
