Chapter 172
"Oh..." Yun Feiwu muttered, rubbed against Xia Shutong's waist, and tried to lift up her clothes in a daze, "It smells like smoke."
Xia Shutong blocked Yun Feiwu's hand, but her body softened: "Yes, Xia Hongye smoked... Well, Maomao, please don't move around. We need to have dinner later."
As expected, Yun Feiwu remained obedient: "So Ruanruan, what did you and your sister talk about?"
Xia Shutong didn't call sister Xia Hongye several times, but Yun Feiwu called her first.
"It's nothing... Mainly because she was talking. She just... said some opinions about me." Xia Shutong recalled, "Actually, Xia Hongye is quite a nice person, and she hasn't treated me too badly over the years. .”
Yun Feiwu nodded seriously.
As for what she had cried about here, Xia Shutong didn't say anything.
...so shameful.
However, after a few seconds of silence, Yun Feiwu arched her body again and said to himself: "There is also the scent of sandalwood."
Xia Shutong: "..."
"Puppy nose." She poked the tip of Yun Feiwu's nose with her finger and continued, "Then, after chatting with my sister, I went to grandpa's study."
"oh……?"
Xia Shutong didn't hide anything from Yun Feiwu: "Grandpa, he seems to be angry with me."
Yun Feiwu's expression immediately became serious: "Is it because... Grandpa doesn't want to see his grandson in prison?"
"No." Xia Shutong shook his head in confusion, "He seems to be angry just because I kept in touch with you without telling him, and married you without telling him. But I think, with his character, he can't You should be angry about something like this.”
Yun Feiwu blinked.
Xia Shutong continued: "He is a shrewd and cold-blooded businessman who only values results. Since the result has been that you and I have been together for many years and cannot be changed, then why is he still angry? I initially thought that he understood We couldn't care less about our feelings, after all, he himself is not a very cold-blooded person, so I explained it to him, but to my surprise, after I explained it, he became even more angry and asked me to get out."
After hearing this, Yun Feiwu chuckled.
"Ruanruan," she poked Xia Shutong's chin with her finger, "Grandpa is a businessman, but at the same time, he is also your grandfather. I guess he is angry because, as a granddaughter, you don't trust him and even marry him Such important things have been hidden from him, even for so many years.”
"But..." Xia Shutong tilted his head, becoming more and more confused, "He and I have no trust at all, and he knows it himself. Moreover, even though I am his granddaughter, he doesn't care. He cares. He is just an heir who can take charge of the Xia family's property."
Yun Feiwu said softly: "But Ruanruan, people are very complicated, not to mention... grandpa is also old."
Yun Fei's misty eyes couldn't hide the faint smile. She was soft and always so slow to feelings. Perhaps this is why Xia Shutong can be so calm and cruel in front of others.
Xia Shutong was stunned for a moment.
Yun Feiwu was right, Xia Cha was indeed cold-blooded, and he was indeed a shrewd businessman who only looked at the results, not the process. But he is indeed... Xia Shutong's grandfather. Perhaps even Xia Cha himself didn't realize that he had feelings for his granddaughter.
And that kind of feeling is very light, and it can't compare to one ten thousandth of his feelings for the company. But now that Xia Cha has completely retired, he can no longer pay attention to the company all the time like before, and he has begun to live the life of an ordinary elderly person. At this time, his faint feelings for his granddaughter showed up.
In the past, Xia Cha only cared about profit. He single-handedly cultivated Xia Shutong into what he is now, and he also knew that there was never trust between them. It would be normal for Xia Shutong to hide something from him, and he would even be proud of Xia Shutong's actions. But after retirement, Xia Cha would be sad and angry because of this.
"Maomao..." After thinking that he had figured it out, Xia Shutong still struggled, "In this case, do I still have to make him happy?"
Although he had acted coquettishly in front of Xia Cha before, it was all pretending, and Xia Cha himself didn't really care. If she really wanted to coax him now, Xia Shutong would really feel... a little embarrassed.
But Yun Feiwu sat up and nodded seriously: "Well, I need to coax him."
Xia Shutong grimaced: "I can't."
She can only coax Yun Fei Wu.
"I'm not very good at it either." Yun Feiwu sighed in her ear and thought for a while, "The second episode of "Mountains and Rivers" seems to be broadcast tonight. Should we invite Grandpa to watch it together?"
Xia Shutong tilted his head and thought for a while, feeling that Yun Feiwu's suggestion was very feasible.
Although it was still difficult for her to sincerely act coquettishly to Xia Cha, inviting him to watch the show together was a show she and Yun Feiwu participated in together, which could be regarded as taking the initiative to show weakness to Xia Cha. Presumably by then, Xia Cha will also take a step back along the steps, right?
…
night.
The family finished their dinner in silence. Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu took Mr. Xia's mood into consideration, but they didn't show much affection. They didn't even pick up food for each other. At most, their eyes would leak from time to time, so for a while, the atmosphere at the dinner table was terrifyingly stiff.
"Ahem..." In the end, it was Xia Hongye who threw away the bowls and chopsticks first and broke the silence, "I've finished eating."
After saying that, he stood up to leave.
