Chapter 970: Chance encounter

"Miss."

The nanny bowed respectfully.

Shi Qianxi walked into the house, and from her footsteps, one could tell her mood was probably not too good.

The sound of the TV was coming through.

It was Shi Zhenhua watching the evening news, without even turning his head.

"You’re back so early."

Just listen to that.

How could those words come from a father?

With such an enlightened dad, it’s no wonder that Miss Shi developed such a temperament.

"I’m so angry."

Shi Qianxi threw herself onto the sofa and couldn’t help but grab the pillow next to her and slammed it down.

Shi Zhenhua remained impassive, his gaze shifting from the political news, "What’s wrong? Who dared to upset my darling daughter?"

Perhaps all parents in the world are like this.

Even though the daughter has already taken over the company and proven herself, in this business legend’s eyes, she seems to still be just a child.

"Speak, who is it? I’ll vent your anger for you."

Although he had stepped back from the front lines, the aura he had built up over the years was still imposing. Shi Zhenhua was calm and composed, commanding without ire.

"Who else could it be but that bastard Jiang Chen!"

Shi Qianxi seemed to remember something that made her grind her teeth even more as she grabbed the pillow and slammed it down again, almost causing Shi Zhenhua sitting beside her to be collateral damage.

"What did Little Jiang do to make you angry this time?"

Shi Zhenhua didn’t rise in anger but asked with a meaningful smile instead.

"Dad, he doesn’t like me at all. He’s just been toying with my feelings!"

Shi Qianxi blurted out, to everyone’s surprise!

Even Shi Zhenhua raised his eyebrows, unfazed, "Why do you say that?"

"I just asked him to marry me, and he flat-out refused!"

Shi Qianxi was brief and to the point, seeming to take out her frustration on the pillow on her knee, then added, "He even drove away with my car!"

Shi Zhenhua, unfazed, chose to ignore the last part of his daughter’s lament and asked, "Did Little Jiang drop you off?"

Shi Qianxi nodded, her face still seething with anger.

"Why didn’t you invite him in to sit for a while?"

"Would he dare? He scooted away faster than an eel."

Shi Zhenhua barely suppressed a smile, clearing his throat softly, "What was this about you telling him to marry you?"

"What do you mean what was it about? It’s just that! Dad, you tell me, he could be so nice to his ex-girlfriend, so why is he so ruthless to me?"

Shi Zhenhua frowned.

He was used to his daughter’s ways, but where did the mention of an ex-girlfriend suddenly come from?

"Little Jiang’s ex-girlfriend? What’s the situation?"

"Wang Auntie, get me a glass of water."

A nanny immediately brought over a glass of water.

Shi Qianxi took it, threw her head back, and drained it in one gulp, seemingly quenching the raging anger in her chest.

"His ex-girlfriend is sick, and he’s going out of his way to find a hospital for her, find the best doctors. Dad, they’ve broken up, so what’s the necessity?"

Normally, a mother would be the best guide for relationship matters.

But Meng Meiling and Shi Zhenhua were divorced.

In the absence of her mother, it wasn’t wrong to seek advice from her father.

"Qian Qian, you can’t be too narrow-minded as a person. Just because they broke up doesn’t mean they can’t be friends. You mean to tell me that just because they’ve parted ways, Little Jiang should just stand by and watch? By your logic, when your dad was injured from the explosion, why did your mom take care of me for such a long time?"

Shi Zhenhua spoke evenly, "There’s a saying in the business world, ’a deal may fall through, but goodwill remains.’ I think Little Jiang did the right thing. It proves even more that he’s a compassionate and loyal man."

"Dad, why do you always take his side?"

Shi Qianxi challenged.

"Dad is not taking his side, I am merely speaking the facts. Although you are my daughter, I can’t be partial without reason."

At other times, this business titan might not be so fair and unselfish, and soon he deftly changed the subject, "What illness does Little Jiang’s ex-girlfriend have?"

"Leukemia."

Shi Qianxi said it carelessly.

Shi Zhenhua’s brows knitted together.

"Leukemia?"

Shi Qianxi nodded, "Yeah."

Shi Zhenhua fell silent for a moment, "Then you should be even less unreasonable, life and death are at stake here. You can’t expect Little Jiang to do nothing, right?"

"I’m not letting her die. On the contrary. I can help him save her, but he won’t agree!"

Shi Zhenhua didn’t quite understand and showed it on his face, "You helping him save someone?"

"Wang Auntie, another glass of water, please."

Shi Qianxi called out, then made an explanation, "His ex-girlfriend has Rh-negative blood, like me. I can donate bone marrow, save his ex’s life."

Shi Zhenhua furrowed his brows deeply and immediately reprimanded with a stern voice, "That’s ridiculous!"

"How am I being ridiculous?"

Shi Qianxi seemed confused, "Dad, didn’t you say we should not be narrow-minded? What’s wrong with me saving someone?"

Shi Zhenhua, with a straight face, wasn’t cornered by his daughter’s words, "Is it necessary for you to save her?"

"There aren’t many people with this blood type..."

"So what? Do you know the risks of donating bone marrow, the side effects it can have on your body... You’re being completely ridiculous!"

Shi Zhenhua’s face grew darker as he spoke.

Shi Qianxi pouted, probably feeling that her father, who was just now so righteous, was being inconsistent. Fortunately, she didn’t voice her sarcasm.

"What’s that expression for? I’m telling you, I absolutely don’t agree, and neither would your mother."

Shi Zhenhua said definitively.

"No need for your agreement; they’ve already rejected me outright."

Shi Qianxi grumbled.

"Look at yourself. You’re even older than Little Jiang, yet see how much more mature he is than you."
