Shi Rui could not believe that Shi Jue was threatening to throw him out of his own family.
"You're the bastard!" Suddenly, Shi Xun picked up a cup and threw it at Shi Rui.
"Shi Jue is right. If you like this woman and want to live with her, that's fine. You can move out of the aristocratic family. Don't even think about interfering in the company's matters. This is what I said. As long as I'm around, don't even think about it. If you think I'm an eyesore, you can join forces with your woman to kill me."
"Dad, what are you talking about? I..."
"You know what I'm talking about. Think about it carefully, but I don't want you to take too long." The old man waved his hand to interrupt Shi Rui's words. After he finished speaking, he gently picked up Du Du. "Come, little darling. Great-grandfather has prepared a gift for you. Follow me, okay?"
Du Du glanced at Xia Weiyang and received a nod from her. She then smiled and raised her arms to hug Shi Xun.
"Haha!" The old man looked at Du Du's cute appearance and laughed out loud. All the anger he had suddenly disappeared. He picked up Du Du and led Dian Dian away from the dining table.
"If you're still hungry, I can ask one of the servants to cook something special for you. I can have it sent to our room," Shi Jue told Xia Weiyang.
"No, it's fine. I'm done eating. However, you've only eaten a little."
Shi Jue stopped eating when he was quarreling with his father and Jian Qingqiu.
It seemed he lost his appetite while dealing with the people in front of him.
"It's okay. I'm not hungry. Let's go." After saying that, Shi Jue got up and left the table with Xia Weiyang.
Although she wanted to say a few things to Luo Qingling and her mother, Xia Weiyang decided to remain quiet.
After all, she was not yet the madam of the family. She was only Shi Jue's lover and the mother of his children.
That would all change after her wedding with Shi Jue.
Shi Rui's face darkened as he watched the people walk away from the table.
He felt he was being ostracized.
He believed he should be in control of his family.
Why did everything change when he returned home?
He had no intention of making Jian Qingqiu his lover. He just wanted to take care of his friend's wife.
Jian Qingqiu's expression softened a little. She lowered her eyes and looked up after a while. "Shi Rui..."
"Jian Qingqiu, you and Luo Qingling go back to the courtyard after dinner. I still have something to do tonight." Suddenly, Shi Rui stood up and walked away.
Jian Qingqiu and Luo Qingling also left the dining table.
They looked at each other as they quietly walked away.
Xia Weiyang and Shi Jue were inside his bedroom.
One of the servants sent a couple of dishes to his room.
"Here, have some more." Xia Weiyang picked up some of Shi Jue's favorite dishes and placed them into his bowl.
Shi Jue picked up his chopsticks and ate a little. Suddenly, he stopped eating.
"What's wrong?" Xia Weiyang frowned. She felt a little worried.
Lowering his head, Shi Jue put one hand on his forehead.
Xia Weiyang became even more worried after seeing Shi Jue's actions. She got up and leaned over to him.
Suddenly, Shi Jue grabbed Xia Weiyang's arm.
Shi Jue then spun her around while holding onto her wrist. When Xia Weiyang came back to her senses, she found herself sitting on Shi Jue's leg.
