Chapter 170: 170、Acting cute is also a strategy
Song Qinghuan paused and shifted her gaze back to Shi Xiuren.
Since Yihan has relinquished power to me, she shouldn’t feel restricted anymore.
Chin up, she glared at Shi Xiuren with an arrogant look, then said to him, articulating each word: “It’s not just me who has motives. First, he had designs on me. The moment he saw me, he insisted on marrying me. As he looks decent and comes from a wealthy family, I thought I wouldn’t have to work and could become a lady after marrying him. After all, this is a common dream for modern women. I don’t see anything wrong with this. But who knew it wouldn’t turn out this way. After marriage, I’ve found him to be incredibly stingy. Not only does he refuse to give me money to spend, but he also forces me to work in his company. The worst part is he prohibited me from letting anyone in the company know that I’m his wife, leaving me with no special privileges. My life is so hard, grandfather, don’t you think he’s being too harsh? Don’t you think you should take my side…?”
Shi Xiuren was taken aback with the sudden shift in topic.
A soft chuckle escaped his lips, alleviating his stern look, and his voice softened, “Indeed, that is a bit too much!”
Didn’t he think there was a huge problem with her suddenly marrying his grandson?
Wasn’t he trying to test her?
Hadn’t he meant to watch over his grandson?
Hadn’t he thought about having them divorced?
How come the topic changed all of a sudden?
Is this girl really dumb or is she feigning ignorance?
Song Qinghuan gave a dry laugh, then looked at Yihan grumblingly, “See, your grandfather also said you’ve gone too far. You should be nicer to me in the future. Otherwise, I’ll dump you and marry someone else. Remember, I am beautiful and lively, and I can live without you. But you, you love me so much. If I left, how would you survive?”
Yihan unwillingly twitched the corners of his lips, she really was overstepping her bounds.
But he didn’t say anything. He just raised his hand and tousled her hair, a patting gesture bathing in affection to which even he didn’t quite understand.
Song Qinghuan made a face at him, then turned back at Shi Xiuren with sparkling eyes, as pure as spring water, devoid of any traces of impurities.
But who exactly is Shi Xiuren? A wily old fox.
He easily saw through Song Qinghuan’s true intentions, to stop him from making her life difficult like some eight o’clock soap opera.
It was Yihan’s idea to marry her, and so he should be the one to deal with it.
If he insisted on separating her from Yihan, she wouldn’t stay loyal. This is a new era, and she has plenty of opportunities to find someone better. As for Yihan, he should think about how he’s going to explain this to his grandfather.
Shi Xiuren didn’t expect this from the cheeky girl.
Could this kind of girl truly suit Yihan? He didn’t know, nor did he feel reassured, but didn’t say anything on the surface.
He only smiled faintly, “Qinghuan, Yihan and I have some business matters to discuss. You can take a break outside. When we’re done, Yihan will escort you to your room.”
Bowing slightly towards Shi Xiuren, Qinghuan then turned to Yihan with a small smile, “I’ll wait for you outside.”
Yihan nodded, and only then did she turn around to leave.
That outcome was precisely what Song Qinghuan had wanted, regardless of whether the old man was satisfied with her or not. She didn’t want him to be giving her any sugar-coated bullets, he should just discuss whether he accepts her or not with his grandson.
If Yihan says he wants to annul the engagement and promises her that she can stay in the Times Group for a while, she would agree without a second thought and disappear from his sight. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
