Chapter 347: Chapter 347: Want to Break Up? You Little Thing, You’ve Got Guts!
“I like it.”
Qingwu rested her chin on her hands as she looked at Elder Pei sitting across from her.
She understood that the elder lady never meant any harm from beginning to end.
It was just her personality; every time she spoke, she chose a manner that could infuriate someone to death.
Those who learned tomb craftsmanship in their youth also naturally had a personality as sharp as a blade’s edge.
After the incidents with Pei Jue’s mother and Xuan Lengyue, Elder Pei started to think it was her fault!
Maybe it was her bad luck that caused harm to her family.
Elder Pei took a sip of his drink.
“Why have you never spoken of these things?”
“What’s there to say, to let you discover after half a lifetime married to me that I have a self-pitying personality?”
Elder Pei rolled her eyes.
“I’ve already told Elder Xuan about the fake Taoist matter, and he will take care of it.”
Since it was the Xuan family who brought in the fake Taoist Hou Ming, then they should handle this matter!
Yu Chen, also sitting at the table, lifted his head.
“Does the venerable monk need assistance?”
Zuo Wanjun had specially prepared a lot of vegetarian dishes for Yu Chen, and had also invited him to join the Shen Family’s family banquet.
Yu Chen thought, since Zuo Wanjun invited him, and Qingwu likely agreed, plus the food at the Shen Family’s was indeed delicious, he came without a second thought!
Shen Shaojia quickly shook her head.
“No need, Master, these are all worldly matters, you don’t need to worry about them.”
Yu Chen touched his bald head.
“Worldly matters are all part of practice, to someone like me, there are no worldly affairs.”
Qingwu glanced at him and said indifferently, “Speak plainly.”
“I heard that Elder Xuan has many treasured collectibles, I would like to go and see.”
What Yu Chen loved most were antiques!
Elder Xuan was the biggest antique collector in Beijing.
Under the guise of offering help, Yu Chen actually just wanted to see the antiques!
Hearing him say this, Shen Shaojia didn’t refuse again.
“Alright, then Master, come with me!”
“Thank you, Benefactor Shen.”
Zuo Wanjun smilingly handed a box to Su Mi.
“Here, an aunt’s gift for our first meeting!”
Su Mi didn’t expect that coming for a meal would also include receiving gifts!
“No need, I’ve been here before… How can I eat and take gifts?”
Zuo Wanjun looked at Shen Zhongshuang.
“It’s different, before you were Qingwu and Shaojia’s friend, this time you came as Zhongshuang’s girlfriend, I had in mind ten years ago what gift to prepare for each daughter-in-law, this is what you should receive!”
Su Mi’s face flushed, and she blurted out before thinking.
“Okay, then I’ll accept it, and when I break up with Doctor Shen, I’ll return it to you, then it can be given to the next person…”
An eerie silence fell over the dining table!
Shen Shaojia held her forehead, “Mimi, not to mention that whatever my mom gives you is yours and there’s no reason to return it; how can you casually talk about breaking up? Aren’t you worried that my second brother will be upset…”
The Shen family, of such a heritage, would never take back a gift meant for a future daughter-in-law.
Su Mi was startled.
“Doctor Shen won’t be mad!”
She glanced at Shen Zhongshuang who still had a gentle smile beside her, feeling somewhat guilty.
Shen Zhongshuang placed a peeled shrimp into Su Mi’s bowl, wiped his hands and calmly said, “I’m not mad, but I have no plans to break up with you.”
“I didn’t mean now, I meant in case you stop liking me in the future, who can be sure about feelings?”
Shen Dongli took over the conversation.
“Hey, look at me and your aunt, your left grandpa and grandma Tu, all still loving each other after a lifetime! Look at your Grandpa Shen and Elder Pei, their days together haven’t led to a breakup either!”
Shen Jishi added, “Grandpa was divorced.”
“Even so, it was still a lifetime spent together, and besides, divorce happened at a very old age, who knows who of you and Zhongshuang will depart first, right?”
Su Mi: “…”
Elder Shen angrily said, “Shen Dongli! What nonsense are you talking about!”
Such words could only come from Shen Dongli, this daring and reckless rascal!
Shen Dongli quickly added.
“I don’t mean anything else, just that Mimi doesn’t have much faith in relationships and marriage, it’s not important!”
“Enjoy the present, just think of yourself as a player, enjoy dating the second son! If you think our Zhongshuang is not bad, get married. If not, you just return him! Uncle will introduce another one!”
Shen Dongli glanced at his few sons nearby.
“Uncle has nothing else to say, just lots of sons!”
Su Mi was completely amused by Shen Dongli.
She buried her face in Shen Zhongshuang’s body, laughing non-stop, almost crying with laughter!
Seeing her laughing, Shen Dongli gave Shen Zhongshuang a look, silently saying: “Still, your dad is the best, right? When it comes to wooing women, you’re still too green!”
Everyone at the table could tell that Su Mi was a bit unhappy, forcing a smile.
Yesterday’s incident with Dragon Head still affected her somewhat.
Opening the box given by Zuo Wanjun, inside was a jade bracelet and a red envelope.
Zuo Wanjun said with a smile, “It’s a small red envelope. It’s ten thousand and one yuan, symbolizing ‘one in ten thousand’.”
As she spoke, she also stood up and handed a similar red envelope to Pei Jue!
“Jue has one too, it’s the same whether it’s our daughter-in-law or son-in-law!”
Pei Jue stood up, accepted it with both hands, and seriously said, “Thank you, Auntie, I’m very happy!”
This red envelope amount wasn’t much, but for Pei Jue, it was recognition from the Shen Family.
It was also Qingwu’s acknowledgment!
Elder Shen then spoke.
“Su girl, let the past be the past, don’t dwell on it! Zhongshuang is a good kid, if he bullies you, come to me, Grandpa will stand up for you!”
Elder Pei whispered, “And me, remember to come play chess with Elder Pei. If Zhongshuang treats you poorly, Grandpa will help you beat him up!”
“Okay! I got it!”
Shen Jishi started to stir trouble.
“Big brother, second brother both have girlfriends now, when are you bringing a girlfriend home?”
Shen Boyi glared at him!
“Just eat your meal.”
As this topic came up, Zuo Wanjun also chimed in, “You are going on a blind date tomorrow, I’ve arranged it! Don’t end up still single when Qingwu and Jue both have kids!”
Qingwu looked helplessly at Zuo Wanjun.
She and Pei Jue had just started dating, having kids was still far in the future.
Shen Boyi, annoyed, reluctantly agreed noncommittally.
…
After the meal, Qingwu needed to deal with some Beidou Star matters, so she simply took Pei Jue to her study.
Just as they reached a corner, Pei Jue suddenly grabbed Qingwu’s wrist from behind, pulling her behind a wall, placing a finger on his lips to signal silence.
“There’s someone over there, shh—”
He was so close, Qingwu could feel Pei Jue’s breath brushing against her face…
Around the corner at the doorway of the room, Shen Zhongshuang lowered his head looking at Su Mi in front of him.
“The words you just said, say them again now.”
“Thinking about breaking up with me? Heh, little thing, you’re quite bold!”
