Shi Qianduo turned and walked to face He Yian. Without a word, she grabbed his collar.
He Yian frowned slightly and reached out to stop her. He said in a low voice, "Little girl, you have to be reserved. Don't always get all touchy with men."
He sounded like he was lecturing a child. Shi Qianduo could not help but roll her eyes. She felt that his suit looked familiar, so she looked at the label. Sure enough, it was another luxury brand! This time, it was not Armani, but Zegna.
'An unemployed person buying these flashy but useless things?'
"He Yian, I'm warning you one more time. If you dare to use my money to buy luxury goods again, I'll definitely teach you a lesson! Also, stay at home and take care of the child. Don't go out and wander around too much." After Shi Qianduo finished speaking, she turned around and left.
He Yian looked at the door that closed behind Shi Qianduo. He fixed his collar that she had pulled, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
The next morning, Shi Qianduo left. However, she did not return to the Shi family. Instead, she went to one of Shi Boyong's classmates and colleagues, Jia Qinian's house. The relationship between the two families had always been good. She and Jia Qinian's daughter, Jia Liuli, were also classmates. Their relationship was ordinary, but they had a passing friendship.
The situation at Shen Kaiqi's birthday party was so ugly that in the eyes of the public, Shi Qianduo was bullied by her stepmother's family. At this time, she chose to leave the house and then went to someone else's house to take refuge. It was perfectly justified.
The most important thing was that Shi Boyong wanted save some face. The Shi family's eldest young miss had run away from home due to an illegitimate daughter's anger. At this moment, Shi Boyong had already lost all face in front of his colleagues and had become a topic of discussion.
What Shi Qianduo was doing now was to make the fire bigger.
As expected, Shi Boyong could not take it anymore. The second day after Shi Qianduo stayed away from home, he personally came to pick her up.
Shi Qianduo was having breakfast with Jia Liuli's family. She smiled and told Jia Liuli about each other's interesting stories.
Jia Liuli said, "In high school, a foreign boy wrote a love letter to confess to Qianduo. In the end, it got mixed up with Qianduo's homework. Qianduo didn't know about it at all. She just handed it to the teacher along with the homework! When our teacher saw this, her face turned red with anger. She called her and the foreign boy out to give them a good scolding..."
Shi Qianduo snorted, "I was innocent, okay? Who would have known that he would do that? It's a good thing they didn't call my parents, or I'd definitely have been lectured by my mother again." After she finished speaking, she teased Jia Liuli, "Do you still remember when you were in your third year of high school? The English teacher asked you to explain some grammatical concept, but you couldn't answer it. Wei Chengyou was so anxious that he kept trying to tell you the answer. However, when the English teacher found out, he directly asked him to answer. Who would have thought that Wei Chengyou would answer it so seriously and find out that it was wrong? The English teacher was so angry that he made him stand in class for a week. "
Wei Chengyou was Jia Liuli's boyfriend, and their families were well-matched in terms of social status. They had grown up together and were now engaged.
Jia Liuli smiled shyly. "Chengyou is an idiot. He doesn't even know how to do it himself, yet he's still talking nonsense..."
Jia Qinian and his wife laughed as they listened to the two girls' banter.
Shi Boyong entered at this time, "What are you all talking about? What a jolly atmosphere!"
"Boyong, you're here. Have a seat," Jia Qinian asked a servant to add more bowls and chopsticks.
"No need, I've already eaten." Shi Boyong laughed, but his eyes were extremely dark as he looked at Shi Qianduo.
Shi Qianduo acted like she did not see him earlier and greeted him respectfully, "Daddy."
Shi Boyong replied with a grunt.
Seeing this, Jia Qinian immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks, smiling as he invited Shi Boyong to the study to have some tea.
In the study.
"Have you seem Tingyu recently?" Jia Qinian asked casually.
Gan Tingyu had a congenital heart disease and her health had always been poor. After divorcing Shi Boyong, her health had taken a turn for the worse and she had been living in a sanatorium.
"No, I didn't. Even if I went, she wouldn't want to see me. Forget it, I don't want to make her angrier." Shi Boyong sighed. In truth, he did not have to divorce Gan Tingyu back then. He still wanted to save face. It was just that after Gan Tingyu found out about Shen Liuchun's matter, she simply could not accept it.
"I advise you to go and take a look. Even if you can't be friends, don't make enemies." Jia Qinian advised.
"Qinian, what do you mean?" Shi Boyong remembered that Jia Qinian was not someone who liked to meddle in other people's private affairs, unless...
"I just received news that Gan Chunliang might be transferred back to take over as the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. He's Gan Tingyu's biological brother. You and Gan Tingyu are on bad terms..."Jia Qinian did not speak too much on the matter.
Shi Boyong had a look of astonishment.
