Chapter 263: Eating
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yuan Shu was very fast. In just one night, she cleaned up all the traces of her in the ancestral home and the villa area, as if she had never been there before.
That night, s.h.i.+ Xiao asked Zhao Cheng to inform s.h.i.+ Bin, s.h.i.+ Yi, and s.h.i.+ Lu to go home and eat together the next morning.
The three of them were nervous, since they didn’t know why their brother had called them back, but they were still very happy and thought that they would be able to see their sister-in-law when they returned.
When they only saw their eldest brother the next morning, everyone froze on the spot.
Seeing that everyone was seated, s.h.i.+ Xiao announced the start of the meal.
After the three of them exchanged looks of dismay, s.h.i.+ Yi asked boldly, “Brother, aren’t we going to wait for Sister-in-law?”
After s.h.i.+ Xiao stuffed a piece of a sandwich into his mouth elegantly, he said calmly, “She moved out.”
This news was like a bolt out of the blue for the three of them!
They sat at the dining table in a daze and actually forgot to eat.
s.h.i.+ Xiao glanced at the three of them and said calmly, “Let’s eat.”
The three of them seemed to have been struck by lightning. They picked up the chopsticks in their hands and picked up food, but they didn’t dare to speak the entire time. They wondered what had happened. Why did Yuan Shu move out? Could it be that their relations.h.i.+p was strained again?
However, they were still fine a while ago and their relations.h.i.+p was getting better and better. Why did they suddenly have a relations.h.i.+p crisis? No wonder Yuan Shu had been in a bad state for the past three days. s.h.i.+ Xiao must have bullied Yuan Shu!
The three of them secretly made eye contact and reached a consensus.
Just as the three of them were making guesses, s.h.i.+ Xiao suddenly said to s.h.i.+ Bin, “When we get to the company, go and ask Xiao Sheng to resign.”
s.h.i.+ Bin suddenly looked up and asked, “Why? I… Could it be because 1 accidentally harmed Sister-in-law?”
s.h.i.+ Bin’s voice became softer and softer under s.h.i.+ Lu and s.h.i.+ Yi’s sharp gazes.
s.h.i.+ Xiao didn’t explain and only said, “I’ve already arranged a position for you in the corporation. You can come to work the day after tomorrow.”
s.h.i.+ Bin still wanted to make a final struggle. “But Brother, I still have a lot to learn from Mentor. I don’t want to leave Shenglan Investment Firm.”
s.h.i.+ Xiao looked at him coldly as he said, “There are other people in the company who can teach you. They’re definitely better than Xiao Sheng.”
s.h.i.+ Bin was frightened by s.h.i.+ Xiao’s gaze and didn’t dare to speak anymore.
The other two wanted to speak up for s.h.i.+ Bin, but when they saw s.h.i.+ Xiao’s gaze, they shut up obediently.
s.h.i.+ Xiao looked at s.h.i.+ Lu right on the heels of that.
s.h.i.+ Lu felt as if there was a sudden cold wind behind him, and gooseb.u.mps appeared on his skin.
s.h.i.+ Lu smiled. “Brother, what instructions do you have? Please tell me.”
His intimidating gaze really affected his appet.i.te.
s.h.i.+ Xiao took a sip of milk before saying, “1 hope that the television drama you’re filming will stop filming. So today, go to the director and propose to break the contract. The penalty fee will be transferred to your account.”
That was a project directed by w.a.n.g Shen, so how could he reject it just like that?! s.h.i.+ Lu felt exasperated, but he didn’t dare to say anything and could only nod obediently.
Between w.a.n.g Shen and his life, he had to choose his life.
The other two people had already been called out by s.h.i.+ Xiao, so s.h.i.+ Yi knew that she would be the next one. Her hands trembled, and when s.h.i.+ Xiao called her name, she was so startled that she almost dropped her chopsticks on the table.
s.h.i.+ Yi quickly held her chopsticks and asked, “Brother, what’s the matter?”
s.h.i.+ Yi guessed that it would be an unreasonable request like forcing her to leave Yushu Buyi. Unexpectedly, s.h.i.+ Xiao only said, “Yuan Shu lives in the Ming-Yue Neighborhood by the river. I will send the exact location to your phone. When you are free, go and accompany her more.”
“Huh?” She had thought that she would be scolded, but she didn’t expect him to only remind her to visit her sister-in-law.
s.h.i.+ Yi heaved a sigh of relief and replied, “Brother, don’t worry! 1 will definitely visit Sister-in-law often!” s.h.i.+ Yi even added, “I will definitely help you look after Sister-in-law and not let other men have the chance to get close to her.”
“How nosy.”
Although he said that, s.h.i.+ Xiao was satisfied. His sister was indeed more reliable than his brothers..
