Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Disgraceful

When he saw Shi Qian’s attitude…

Shi Yaorong’s expression darkened. He asked sarcastically, “When did you come from the countryside? What are you doing in the capital?”

Shi Qian sneered when she heard this.

Shi Yaorong asked her when she had come from the countryside.

He didn’t even know that she had never gone to the countryside.

She coldly glanced at the two and left and did not say a word.

“Stop right there!” ShiYaorong roared and was about to give chase.

Shi Muxue immediately grabbed his arm and said apologetically, “Dad, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have kept it from you.”

“Xue’er, what do you mean?” Shi Yaorong turned to look at Shi Muxue.

“I’m sorry, dad. I knew that my sister was in the capital. I knew it when school started. She’s in her first year with me at the university. I shouldn’t have kept it from you.”

“What?” Shi Yaorong asked in surprise. “You’re saying that Shi Qian’s at Capital University too?”

“Yes.” Shi Muxue nodded, then said, “Dad, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I just wanted to persuade her to cut off contact with those people first, then persuade her to go home.”

“Those people? What do you mean by that?” Shi Yaorong asked with a frown.

It stunned Shi Muxue for a moment. It was like she wasn’t supposed to say that.

“It’s nothing,” he immediately said. “Dad, don’t worry. Since my sister has come to the capital, I’ll persuade her to come home. After all, we’re a family.”

“Xue’er! What do you know? Tell me the truth!” Shi Yaorong said in a deep voice.

“Dad, it’s nothing. Please don’t ask.”

“Speak!”

Shi Muxue said in a low voice, “I’m not too sure either. It’s just that last week. A hooligan who came to school and said in front of many students that my sister and him…”

Shi Muxue deliberately paused. It was like she was too embarrassed to say it out loud. Then, she continued. “Sister seemed to have used that hooligan’s money. I advised her not to be involved with those people, to cut off contact with them, and go home quickly, but she didn’t listen and said that it had nothing to do with us.”

“The entire school knows?” Shi Yaorong frowned.

“Yes, many of our classmates saw it.”

Shi Yaorong’s face was ashen. He gritted his teeth and said, “This disgraceful thing! Your mom sends her money every month, and she still did such a shameless thing!”

“Dad, don’t blame sister. She must be muddle-headed. I’ll persuade her.”

“What’s there to persuade!” Shi Yaorong’s face darkened, and a hint of heartlessness flashed in his eyes. “Xue’er, you’re not allowed to tell anyone about your relationship with Shi Qian. There’s no such person in the Shi family!”

The Shi family had just moved to the capital, and their foundation needed to be more stable.

Especially since Shi Yaorong wanted to work with the Su family recently. He could get close to the even more powerful Huo family than the Su family. That is if everything went well.

The Su family could be considered a sect name.

Shi Yaorong was ambitious. He would never allow such a scandal to appear in the Shi family at this time and let the Su family know he had such a disgraceful daughter.

“It’s fine if Shi Qian doesn’t want it!”

Shi Muxue’s eyes flashed with a smug smile.

Now that Shi Qian had returned to the Shi family, there was probably no chance of her getting married.

Shi Qian walked into the classroom and found a quiet corner to sit in.

Then, she took out her phone and tapped on the screen.

Not long after.

Sheng Xiao walked into the Computer Science classroom and ‘invited’ the girl beside Shi Qian to sit beside her.

He cupped his chin and turned sideways to look at her.

There were shocked sighs all around.

“I’ll go! What was going on? Young Master Sheng, are you here to see Shi Qian?”

“She’s already sitting next to Shi Qian! I think somebody has snatched our Young master Sheng.”

Shi Qian held her chin with one hand. And her phone in the other. She was in a daze and didn’t notice that the person beside her had changed.
