Chapter 654: 654, Hide, Shi Yuhuan’s Test 2
Li Chengyun’s gaze darkened slightly, but he did not say anything further about Si Jianan being Si Xiangbei.
He naturally changed the topic: “From now on, you will live in the villa in Yuxi. I will arrange a housekeeper for you. If you have any needs, you can find her.”
Song Qinghuan frowned: “Would I be living there alone? The villa is so big, it would be a waste for me to live there alone. Where does Qianze live? At Cuiming Lake? If I really have to…”
Before she could finish, Li Chengyun coldly refused: “No!”
Song Qinghuan asked discontentedly: “Why?”
Li Chengyun glanced at her dismissively: “Qianze doesn’t live at Cuiming Lake. The lake house is old and typically unoccupied. Occasionally, some distant family members come by. Are you sure you want to live there?”
Song Qinghuan quickly responded, shaking her head: “Nevermind, I will stay at the Yuxi villa!”
Neither Li Qianze nor Li Chengyun lived there, which suggested it was not a desirable place. Plus, the idea of living in an old house brought to mind images of horror films.
Li Chengyun snorted in a frosty manner, turning his face forward without responding any further.
By the time Song Qinghuan and her brother, Li Chengyun, arrived at the Yuxi villa area, Shi Yuhuan had driven to the Shi Country Villa.
In the spacious study, Shi Yuhuan was playing chess with his grandfather.
After assessing the chess game, Shi Xiuren dropped his chess piece: “Checkmate.”
Shi Yuhuan looked up at his grandfather, Shi Xiuren, and then back at the chessboard. At this moment, he was indeed losing, but it wasn’t a complete loss, as he had an opportunity to counter.
He had a move that could turn the tables.
However, he didn’t immediately make this move. Instead, he just looked at his grandfather and said lightly, “I lost again.”
Then he started to pick up the chess pieces.
He had a viable chess move but he kept it hidden. He had been losing at chess all day, but the first loss had been a deliberate concession.
He would never reveal his deepest strategies. That was how Shi Yuhuan operated.
At that moment, the butler entered the room with two bowls of Osmanthus sweet soup.
Shi Xiuren got up, sat down at the table, picked up the remote control, and turned on the TV in the study. The city news channel was just beginning its evening broadcast.
Shi Yuhuan also got up and sat down on the other side.
After the first news story, the anchor introduced the next piece of news, in which a reporter, with a microphone in one hand and the other hand gesturing behind her, was loudly saying: “Today, the north express road, jokingly referred to as ‘race car road’, saw a gathering of street racers, and an accident occurred during one of the races…”
The camera shot switched to show a badly damaged car, the vehicle that had been following Li Chengyun.
Shi Xiuren sighed at the sight, commenting with a hint of sentiment: “The young people these days are truly a worry.”
He then looked at Shi Yuhuan: “Do you race cars?”
Shi Yuhuan chuckled, “Of course not.”
He was carefully observing his grandfather, searching for any signs of unease in the old man’s demeanor.
But there was none. He couldn’t find the slightest flaw.
Shi Xiuren leaned back on the chair, continuing to watch the news.
After the butler had placed the Osmanthus sweet soup on the table and left the room, Shi Xiuren turned to Shi Yuhuan: “How’s everything going with the Han Family?”
Shi Yuhuan indifferently replied: “Han Yinqian has already moved into the Han Family residence.”
Shi Xiuren curled his lips into a sardonic smile: “Him? Are you sure you can coexist peacefully?”
