Old Zhu closed the rear door, walked to the front, got into the driver's seat, started the car, and the car slowly drove away.
Shi Che glanced sideways at Ling Chuxia, watching her as if she couldn't wait to stick to the car window, and his gaze turned utterly cold.
The carriage was very quiet, eerily quiet, and the air was filled with an icy chill that made people shiver involuntarily.
Ling Chuxia unconsciously stole a glance at Shi Che, seeing his cold-as-ice face, and she immediately turned her gaze away in fright.
Shi Che had just said he had something to tell her... Ling Chuxia didn't know what Shi Che wanted to say, but now, with Shi Che looking like this, the words would hardly be anything good, and Ling Chuxia couldn't help but shiver.
However, after the car had been driving for quite a while, Shi Che showed no intention of speaking, and Ling Chuxia furrowed her brows in confusion, stealing another glance at Shi Che.
Shi Che sat expressionless, his dark eyes deep and bottomless.
Since Shi Che didn't speak, Ling Chuxia was even less likely to speak first. She looked at Shi Che and couldn't help but recall the conversation between Shi Che and Mrs. Shi just now.
Shi Che was so disgusted and dissatisfied with her. She couldn't understand why Shi Che didn't accept Mrs. Shi's proposal.
Wasn't he clearly fond of her elder sister?
Back then, Mrs. Shi brought her and her elder sister into the Shi Family, training them, educating them, intending to choose one of them to marry Shi Che and become the Young Madam of the Shi Family.
Her elder sister was naturally talented, clever and quick-witted, learning anything very quickly, and she won Mrs. Shi's favor. As for her, she was of dull wit, carefree by nature, loved to jump around and play. Her elder sister would learn something with one explanation, and Ling Chuxia would need to be taught several times just to barely grasp it. All the teachers just shook their heads and sighed when they saw her.
Under her elder sister's brilliance, she was just a little invisible existence in the Shi Family, and everyone liked her elder sister, including Madam, including... Shi Che.
Therefore, when Madam asked Shi Che to choose his wife, he, without hesitation, chose her elder sister.
Originally, this was expected by all, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Shi unprecedentedly allowed her to marry Shi Che, which stunned everyone.
No one knew what kind of trick Mrs. Shi had up her sleeve, and what was even more surprising was that Shi Che offered no resistance and, in line with her wishes, accepted this result.
Thus, Shi Che's wife changed from Ling Yunshu to Ling Chuxia.
And Ling Yunshu was sent away by Madam on the day she and Shi Che got married, never to be heard of again.
In the three years of marriage, except for the first few months after the wedding, when Shi Che was still quite nice to her, his attitude suddenly changed for some reason. He treated her worse and worse, became more and more impatient, and no matter what she did or how well she did it, he could always find fault and was full of discontent.
