The Sealing of Shen Family
Yun Bixue listened to his promise, and her heart quivered intensely. She had almost no control over the tears that ran down her face. How would she be able to thank him, to repay his kindness? No matter what happened from now on, she felt content at having the chance to hear those words.2
Old Master Yun was also extremely pleased with what he heard. All these years, he had never been as happy as he was today. "Alright, Kiddo Xie, my daughter has keen eyes to have met you. I will accept your toast."
Xie Limo's entrancing eyes shone at hearing his words. Smiling elegantly, he said, "Grandfather, my eyesight is keen too."
"Haha…"
As Ji Qiongxin looked at the scene, she too was overcome with emotions. As a mother, she understood her son well. Although she didn't pay much attention to how they started their relationship, it was clear to them that Limo really treasured Bixue.
She didn't have to worry about anything right now. But the Xie family was too enormous. They had a long road ahead of them and would need to care and trust each other in the time to come. She worried that the Xie family would be a burden to the two children, but after witnessing their feelings for each other, she was relieved.
In the afternoon, the family started making dumplings. Xie Limo had again been asked by Old Master Yun to play chess. Yun Bixue wasn't sure what her grandfather wanted to tell Xie Limo, so she accompanied her mother-in-law and Aunt Zhou to make dumplings, without help from the servants in the mansion.
"Bixue, your dumplings are beautiful, even more so than those sold in boutique shops." When Ji Qiongxin saw Yun Bixue making dumplings for the first time, she couldn't help heaping praises on her.
Yun Bixue smiled and explained, "Mom, when I was younger, everyone made dumplings whenever there were special occasions. I also wanted to have some, so I secretly learned from the Aunt in the house. Sometimes, when there's no one at home, I would make dumplings for myself too. I took the trouble to study some culinary skills as well, so this is nothing."
Although Yun Bixue didn't mean to, Ji Qiongxin felt bad for Yun Bixue. This kid really did suffer a lot in the past. She decided to make sure that the Xie family would treat this kid well in the future.
During dinner time, Ji Qiongxin discussed with Old Master Yun about bringing Xie Limo's father along on subsequent visits. Together, they would pick a suitable day for the two children's wedding.
Old Master Yun agreed.
After finishing the dumplings, Yun Bixue prepared to say goodbye to her grandfather and return home. However, when she opened the gates of the villa, she was surprised by a few uninvited guests.
Old Lady Shen and Shen Wenqi were leading the group.
Shen Wenqi posture was slumped and he looked subdued, but when he saw Old Master Yun, his eyes flashed. Almost disregarding his image, he rushed forward and hugged Old Master Yun. He then knelt down on the floor and cried, "Uncle, please save the Shen family! The Shen family received a summons from the court, and we're close to being socially ostracized! Our credit cards have been frozen… What should the Shen family do now… Uncle…"
Shen Wenqi's actions shocked everyone there. This was the eldest son of Old Master Shen, the chairman of their company. It was indeed rather sad to see him in such a state.
Yun Bixue's eyes narrowed, and her lips curled coldly. Not everyone had known that her grandfather was here. Looking at the situation, Old Lady Shen had purposefully arranged such a scene. Is she hoping to take Grandfather away?
Hmph, Yun Bixue was kind and good-tempered towards the family who loved her. As for this kind of people, she had no problems being ruthless.
The Shen family had been let off easy; only their house had been sealed. But she still had other plans for them. She wouldn't let anyone who wanted to harm Limo get away that easily.
Old Master Yun looked at Shen Wenqi with impatience. He shouted sternly, "Hurry and get up! You're a man in his fifties, don't make a scene!"
