I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 497

Fu Chengyan smiled faintly in response, his expression clearly showed that he had a different view of the matter.

“I’m sure you have a better picture than me of what the actual situation is. As long as Huancheng is capable enough, I am willing to accept it.” Fu Chengyan gently leaned forward on the dining table. “Business is business. I hope you understand that.”

After having someone younger point out his weakness, Shi Jingzheng felt humiliated and dared not continue the topic. However, Jiang Yu lost her temper. “As of now, Shi Nuan is still a member of the Shi family and you are her husband, which meant that you’re our son-in-law. So what’s wrong with helping out your parents-in-law?”

Fu Chengyan’s expression turned foul instantly. Jiang Yu’s words had obviously crossed his threshold.

“Mrs. Shi, are you negotiating business with me, or are you selling your daughter? If that’s the case, I can negotiate with you but you only have one chance. Once you have used it, the Shi family will no longer have any other opportunities, including that of your daughter.”

“Are you threatening me?” Jiang Yu clenched her fists. “You talk as if you have been very good to Shi Nuan when in reality, you’re not even willing to fork out any money on her behalf!”

“Shut up!” Shi Yunsheng was utterly infuriated by Jiang Yu and Shi Jingzheng. “Both of you are a disgrace! Get out of here and go to your room, now!”

“Dad!” Jiang Yu looked at Shi Yunsheng in disbelief. “Don’t you see how they are humiliating us? We are the ones that brought up Shi Nuan…”

“Did you raise her?” Shi Yunsheng stared at Jiang Yu with the corner of his eye. “I was the one who raised and watched her grow up. What has it got anything to do with you? I didn’t even say anything so what makes you think you have the right to speak? Zheng, get this disgraceful piece of trash out of my sight!”

Shi Jingzheng seethed but stood up nonetheless. “Yes, father!” He then dragged Jiang Yu upstairs. However, Jiang Yu was defiant and continued to kick and scream. “Shi Nuan, you ungrateful girl. If you still remember that we were the ones who raised you, you would give the Aureate Jade project to your father. Or else, I will tell the whole world about your past. You ingrate! Mhmm!”

At that moment, Shi Jingzheng had no choice but to cover her mouth. “That’s enough, we’re going upstairs now!”

With that, the dining hall returned to silence.

Shi Yunsheng massaged his temples in exhaustion. “Nuan, I hope you don’t mind. They…”

“Don’t worry, Granddad, I’m used to it.” Since Shi Nuan was young, Jiang Yu had always been saying nasty things.

She didn’t understand then and thought that the problem lay with her. Now, she knew the truth. There were some people who would always resent her despite what she did and how hard she tried. That was Jiang Yu’s attitude toward her and it didn’t surprise her at all.

“No matter what, I failed in my duty to take care of you and allowed you to suffer so much throughout the years.” Shi Yunsheng remarked with his tone filled with regret.

Shi Nuan quickly reassured him. “Granddad, it’s not your fault! You have treated me as if I was your own granddaughter. I’m well aware of what you have done for me, so you shouldn’t blame yourself.”

Shi Yunsheng sighed out loud. “I think it’s good that you return to the Su family. As long as they treat you well, my mind will be put at ease. I feel terrible about how your parents acted. It’s my fault for not educating them better.”

“Granddad, don’t say that.”

“You’re a good girl, so remember to behave when you’re with the Su family, alright? Next time, don’t come back here. Whenever I miss you, I’ll go look for you instead.” The Shi family had lots of problems and both Jiang Yu and Shi Jingzheng would never let Shi Nuan off easily. In truth, this was the main reason why Shi Yunsheng insisted that Shi Nuan changed her surname.

As long as Shi Nuan was an official member of the Shi family, she would never be free of Jiang Yu and Shi Jingzheng. As Shi Yunsheng was old now, he didn’t know how long more he still had and he no longer had the energy to protect her. Hence, it was better to hand her over to be watched over by someone else.

“Su Huaibei, since you have made a promise, you must treat Shi Nuan well.”

“Old Mr. Shi, don’t worry. Shi Nuan is my daughter, I will definitely be good to her.” Despite disliking Jiang Yu and the others, Su Huaibei was very much appreciative of Shi Yunsheng’s attitude.

Shi Yunsheng nodded and shifted his glance to Fu Chengyan, “Yan, I know that the Fu clan has high standards and that your family disapproves of her. However, Shi Nuan is a good girl and I believe the Fu clan will see for themselves how wonderful she is. Until that happens, you have to carry out your duty as a husband to love and care for her.”

“Granddad, don’t worry.” Fu Chengyan held up Shi Nuan’s hand and placed it in his palm. “My love for Shi Nuan will never waver.”

Shi Yunsheng nodded gently. “I’m already advanced in my years and no longer have much to ask for. My only regret is that I’m still waiting for the chance to attend your wedding.” Just as he spoke, Shi Yunsheng looked at Shi Nuan’s tummy. “And also, to see these two babies.”

“Granddad, you’ll be able to see them soon.” Shi Nuan reached out to hold Shi Yunsheng’s hand. “Three months have already passed. Six more months and you will be able to see your great-grandchildren.’

After sending Shi Nuan and the others off, Shi Yunsheng called for the butler with a gloomy expression. “Where are Zheng and Jiang Yu?”
