” Granddaughter – in – law?”
Everyone looked at each other. Seeing that Lu Ting had no intention of denying it, they imdiately understood that this old man was actually Master Si’s grandfather!
Instantly, they beca even more respectful.
“Mr. Su, I didn’t expect this matter to disturb you. How have you been lately?”
People gathered around to inquire about Su Zhi’s well-being. They knew Lu Ting wasn’t fond of socializing, so they all sward around Su Zhi.
Su Zhi happily replied, “I’m doing fine. It’s all thanks to the tea specially prepared for by my granddaughter-in-law. I’ve been relying on this tea to sleep well lately, or else I wouldn’t be able to co out for a stroll!”
The old man’s words both overtly and covertly praised i Shu. These people were shrewd; how could they not hear it?
Those who had harbored doubts about i Shu just now dispelled their concerns. They all praised her, saying, “President i is indeed capable. At such a young age, not only is she outstanding in her abilities, but she also knows how to respect her elders. She will definitely be your best granddaughter-in-law in the future!”
“That goes without saying,” Su Zhi was pleased with their response.
He deliberately said this to make sure these people wouldn’t dare to underestimate i Shu again.
As for the absurd bet between the i and Lu families, he couldn’t care less!
lie only knew that he genuinely liked i Shu and would do his best to protect her in front of others!
Compared to Su Zhi’s undisguised favoritism, Lu Ting seed sowhat detached.
lie walked up to Su Zhi, saying crossly, “You love ddling in others’ affairs. Does anyone need you to speak up?”
“Hey, you old man…”
Su Zhi didn’t finish his sentence, but i Shu, afraid that the two old n would start bickering again, quickly took over the conversation, saying, “Thank you, Grandpa Su, for speaking up for . I’m really grateful. I should have visited you first when I returned from my business trip, but it was late, and I was afraid of disturbing your rest, so I planned to co tomorrow. I didn’t expect to disturb your rest anyway. I’m really sorry.”
When Su Zhi heard this, he felt even happier. He provocatively smiled at Lu Ting and proudly said, “It’s okay. The most important thing for you young people now is to focus on your careers. Girls are not inferior to boys! Although my daughter hasn’t been well-disciplined since childhood, she can handle things independently now. I believe you, i Shu, can do it too.”
Su Zhi only had two children in his life. His eldest daughter, Su Huai, was Lu Si’s mother and had passed away in the accident at Wendith.
The only one he could ntion now was Su Ling.
i Shu’s eyes dimd slightly, forcing a smile. “Yes, Grandpa Su, I’ll work hard.”
“Hey, Old Su, it’s okay now. Let’s go back. We haven’t finished our chess ga yet! I’m definitely going to win against you today!”
Lu Ting didn’t wait for a response; he just pulled Su Zhi away.
i Shu hurriedly had soone open the door and followed them anxiously, not feeling at ease until she saw the two old n safely back in her house.
With Su Zhi and Lu Ting backing her up, no one dared to doubt i Shu anymore.
The old lady could only gnash her teeth in frustration, but with two strong bodyguards by her side, she couldn’t move. All she could do was spit at i Shu fiercely and curse, “You little slut, just you wait! This isn’t over between us! None of you will have a good life in the future!”
“Whatever.” i Shu sneered contemptuously, thanked everyone, and had the door closed, taking her brothers back to rest.
The next day, Lu Si rushed over in a hurry, obviously having heard about last night’s events.
When he returned ho last night, it was already late. Su Zhi had been waiting for him in the study, and they had talked for a long ti about i Shu’s family affairs. Both directly and indirectly, Su Zhi had warned Lu Si not to neglect
i Shu for work.
Lu Si knew how much Su Zhi cherished i Shu.
But what surprised him even more was that Lu Ting had specifically sought him out this morning for the sa matter, asking for help in handling the negative public opinion about i Shu after last night’s disturbance.
“Even if I don’t admit it, the outside world already considers i Shu as our family’s future daughter-in-law. So you have to be responsible for minimizing the negative impact and not let our reputation be tarnished because of i Shu!”
Lu Si imitated the old man vividly.
i Shu couldn’t help but burst into laughter when she heard this, asking while sipping soy milk, “What else did he say?”
Lu Si’s face turned serious as he continued, “I’ve heard about the i family’s affairs from Lu Li’s wife a long ti ago, but I never thought it would deteriorate to this extent! No wonder i Shu is so strong-willed. But don’t think I’m praising her! I’m just saying she’s relatively decent among the people in the i family!”
This ti, i Shu couldn’t control herself and sprayed soy milk everywhere.
Zhao Yan quickly handed her tissues and laughed along, saying, “Old Master Lu actually wanted to praise your intelligence and capability!”
i Shu wiped the milk from her mouth and tears from her eyes, saying, “I know, that’s just his personality. 1 won’t bother arguing with him..”
