His Glamorous Reborn Wife novel Chapter 266

Old Master Li had not been in good health at that time and had believed it to be true. He could only find out more about Shi Jin through Shi Xuexin's phone.

Shi Xuexin's explanation was similar to that of the others. She told him, "Shi Jin doesn't want to go back at all. She doesn't want to leave this house and leave the city. She can't accept it at the moment. But don't worry, Grandfather. I will take good care of Shi Jin and accompany her through this. If she is willing to stay with the Shi family, I will treat her like my own sister. It just so happens that she has a friend. It'll be quite nice for us to accompany each other. Please give her more time, Grandfather, alright?"

Old Master Li trusted this child that he had raised single-handedly. He really thought that it would be good for Shi Jin to stay.

It was only after Shi Jin and the Li family gradually drifted apart that he slowly came back to his senses. How could Shi Jin not have been willing to pick up the call back then?

It was Shi Xuexin who had not given her a chance to answer.

Why had Shi Xuexin stopped Shi Jin?

Other than the reason for Shi Jin not wanting to leave, Shi Xuexin wanted to use Shi Jin's willfulness, pettiness, and conflict to show off her own generosity and understanding.

Everything had to be contrasted. She was afraid that she would not be able to blend in with the Shi family, so she needed Shi Jin to compare with.

As expected, Yuxiu Hua and Shi Qing were quickly won over by her sensible and obedient behavior. When the rest of the Shi family saw this, they all said, "As expected of the biological one!"

Old Master Li found it hard to believe that she would do such a thing. By the time he came back to his senses, it had been a few years since then and Shi Jin no longer trusted the Li family.

The call just now was just another testament to Shi Xuexin's true nature.

Old Master Li regretted it so much that his insides hurt. He felt even more guilty and vexed. He had been shrewd all his life, but he had actually been fooled by a little girl.

Seeing the look in his eyes again, the driver advised, "Old Master, don't let your health deteriorate. Doesn't Miss already know about the Li family's painstaking efforts? Besides, it's inevitable that tigers fall asleep and get tricked by little white rabbits sometimes."

Shi Jin returned home and went upstairs with her clothes.

The study room was ajar and Fu Xiuyuan was working. Shi Jin stuck her head in.

Seeing that he was busy with a video conference, Shi Jin quickly mouthed, "I'm sorry, carry on."

Fu Xiuyuan said into the computer, "Let's call it a day."

He got up and walked towards Shi Jin.

When he was at home, he did not wear a suit. Instead, he had changed into a beige casual outfit, which made him seem less aloof and more easygoing.

He had just gotten out of work and there was a hint of seriousness in his expression. He was still handsome and had an extraordinary bearing.

"I just wanted to see if you were busy and tell you something," Shi Jin explained. She hadn't expected him to notice her and end the meeting.

"Yes, go ahead." Fu Xiuyuan was prepared to listen.

When he spoke to others, his gaze was always like a torch. Sometimes, when he didn't directly look at the person speaking, he would exert a huge pressure, but when he spoke to Shi Jin, he would look into her eyes seriously, as if she was the only one in the world.

"Grandfather is coming over tomorrow and will have lunch with me. I think it'll be better if you accompany me."

With that, Fu Xiuyuan led her to the closet.

Needless to say, Shi Jin understood what he meant. Choose clothes!

The last time he had gone to see her parents and brother, Fu Xiuyuan had gone through a lot of trouble. It hadn't been easy for him to find a familiar face in front of the three of them, and now he had to accept the Old Master's test. How could he go unprepared?
