Chapter 799: 598 harmonious households flourish in all endeavors.
Meng Bei scratched his head awkwardly, "Sis, our family genes are just like this. You didn’t have very good grades when you were at school either."
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle.
Hearing this kid actually dared to talk back and feeling her authority challenged, Miss Shi’s expression changed immediately.
"Who told you that your sister was bad at studying? I simply didn’t like to study, which is different from you, needing someone’s help even to chase after the person you like."
Seeing that his cousin was annoyed, Meng Bei sulkily lowered his head, signaling submission, yet from the look on his face, it was clear that the kid definitely wasn’t convinced,
"What are you laughing at?" Shi Qianxi glared at Jiang Chen, who sat amusingly watching the situation from a chair, "Stand up!"
Jiang Chen didn’t take it to heart and stood up with a smile, not knowing what the lady had in mind.
"It’s just writing a poem, isn’t it? Who can’t do that."
Shi Qianxi sat down with a notebook and picked up a fountain pen.
Meng Bei looked up, and after exchanging a surprised look with Jiang Chen, they both leaned in closer.
Right below Jiang Chen’s second masterpiece, Shi Qianxi didn’t ponder too much and began to write without hesitation.
"I dare not ascend the hall,
For fear the wooden gavel would strike the stand with a loud clang.
You’re judged to have a crazy longing for me,
Yet ’injustice’ is all you can shout from your mouth."
It was undeniably true that Miss Shi’s writing was indeed quite beautiful, pleasing to the eye, and the content...
Jiang Chen felt amused inside.
Meng Bei’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Shi Qianxi put down the pen and stood up.
"Sis..."
Meng Bei opened his mouth, looking at Shi Qianxi’s eyes as if he had never known her before.
"Concentrate on your studies."
As if it were nothing noteworthy, the eloquent Shi Qianxi composed poetry effortlessly and said to Jiang Chen, "Let’s go for a walk."
Jiang Chen nodded.
After they left, Meng Bei couldn’t resist picking up the notebook again to scrutinize it carefully.
Passing through the living room, several elders were still chatting at the dining table in a harmonious atmosphere.
Shi Qianxi glanced over but did not disturb them and went outside with Jiang Chen.
Inside the villa complex, green trees flourished, resembling a garden.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Shi Qianxi said evenly, "It was just a poem. Do you really think I’m illiterate?"
Jiang Chen laughed, "I’ve never said that."
Indeed.
Since taking over Jinhai, although he hadn’t achieved any outstanding accomplishments, at least he hadn’t let Jinhai run into any trouble.
To be able to do so was already commendable.
After all, considering her young age, there were only a handful of large enterprise owners like Shi Qianxi in the whole country.
Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes.
Whether one wished to admit it or not, the chance of a child raised with abundant resources becoming mediocre was as slim as the chance of an ordinary family producing a genius.
Shi Qianxi might deviate from the path, not quite the traditional well-bred lady, but that didn’t mean she was merely a pretentious vase.
Meng Bei was the same.
Even though the kid seemed ignorant now, it didn’t mean his future would be the same.
So far, Jiang Chen had interacted with quite a few so-called second-generation young people, and regardless of their character, their vision, caliber, and intelligence all exceeded the average standard of the general public.
"Aunt Meng and Uncle Shi, have they made up?"
Jiang Chen changed the subject, probing.
Even though it wasn’t of much concern to him, he knew that Shi Qianxi had always hoped her parents would reconcile.
"No. It’s not that easy."
Shi Qianxi shook her head, "I’ve advised them many times, but it doesn’t seem to work. But during the period when my dad was in trouble, my mom took care of him the entire time. And at dinner today, my dad didn’t drink because he didn’t want to upset my mom. They obviously still have feelings for each other, so why can’t they just get back together?"
"Maybe at their level, they see things differently,"
Jiang Chen said softly.
"What’s different?" Shi Qianxi turned to look at him, "When two people are in love, they should be together."
How domineering a statement.
Yet it seemed like the simplest truth in the world.
Jiang Chen was at a loss for words.
"Speaking of which, I should thank you."
Shi Qianxi suddenly said and, smiling at Jiang Chen’s puzzled look, she added, "If it weren’t for you, my parents probably wouldn’t be sitting at the same table for a meal today. And it’s been a long time since my dad last visited my uncle’s house."
"I think they got along quite well."
"That’s just the surface."
Shi Qianxi, as if shedding all her masks, calmly said, "My dad has always had issues with my uncle, you must have heard some about it. My dad didn’t come from a good background, and when he was younger, he suffered a lot of criticism and disdain."
"Heaven entrusts great responsibilities to those who can bear it."
Jiang Chen said.
Shi Qianxi couldn’t help but laugh, giving him a glance.
Unknowingly, the two of them walked to a fitness area with plenty of advanced exercise equipment, including swings.
Shi Qianxi walked over.
Jiang Chen followed behind.
The setting sun cast a painting-like light and shadow on them.
"I was also worried that because of the attack, my dad would hate my uncle."
"Hasn’t the matter been cleared up? It was done by people from Dongying, and it has nothing to do with your uncle."
"It was indeed done by people from Dongying, but can you guarantee that my uncle really knew nothing about it? After all, that spy was his assistant."
Jiang Chen fell silent.
Shi Qianxi sat on a swing, "At first, I really hated my uncle. After taking over Jin Hai, I even thought about driving him out, but after my dad woke up, do you know what he said to me?"
"Uncle Shi must have urged you not to do that."
Shi Qianxi sat on the swing but didn’t rock it, turning her head to look at Jiang Chen standing by the swing, "How do you understand my dad so well?"
"It’s not understanding."
Jiang Chen chuckled, "Uncle Shi was able to start from scratch and build such a big business; he surely isn’t an indecisive person. If it were someone else, do you think he would hesitate?"
Shi Qianxi also started to laugh.
"Do you know what my dad said to me back then?"
"What?"
"A harmonious family prospers everything," Shi Qianxi said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen too started to laugh, finding the phrase somewhat inconsistent with the image of Shi Zhenhua.
"That doesn’t sound like something Uncle Shi would say."
"I felt the same, I was stunned for a moment. But later, when I thought about it, I realized my dad made a lot of sense."
Shi Qianxi gently pushed off the ground with her feet, making the swing sway.
"He’s the only uncle I have, my mom’s only brother, then there’s Meng Bei. If I were to drive my uncle out of Jin Hai, would that kid still want to call me sister?"
"That’s not necessarily the case."
Jiang Chen laughed, "With ordinary families, if you give his dad a hard time, he’d surely hate you, but I think your brother... he should be able to understand."
Shi Qianxi, thinking about something, laughed happily, holding onto the swing’s ropes, "You don’t know, he was so adorable when he was little; now that he’s grown up, he’s not fun anymore."
Jiang Chen had no idea what the "fun" in missy’s mouth meant, but he could vaguely guess some of it.
"You two siblings actually look quite alike, especially around the mouth."
"What’s wrong with my mouth?"
Shi Qianxi put her feet on the ground to stop the swing.
She turned her head, forced to look up at Jiang Chen because she was sitting on the swing.
The setting sun behind Jiang Chen shone on her face, making her lips appear extra tender and moist.
"Speak up, what’s wrong with my mouth?"
Jiang Chen’s gaze shifted away from her lips, somewhat evasively, "Nothing."
Shi Qianxi suddenly stood up.
The distracted Jiang Chen was startled and instinctively said, "What are you doing?"
"Sit down, I’ll push you."
Jiang Chen was taken aback.
"Sit!"
Shi Qianxi couldn’t help but laugh, "You’re like a blockhead."
As she spoke, she grabbed Jiang Chen’s arm and forcefully made him sit on the swing.
"Hold on tight."
She pushed Jiang Chen’s back with force.
The swing swayed to a large extent.
"Slow down, I’m scared of heights."
The more he said, the harder Shi Qianxi pushed.
"If you’re scared, hold on tighter!"
In the fading light of the sunset.
Inside the lush villa district.
Two adults playing on a swing, like two carefree children.
