Chapter 826 – Don’t Get Involved with Shen Rongyin

Chi Lingyan’s face stiffened. He patted his daughter’s shoulder and coughed softly. “Yan Yan, why are you asking? Whether that Miss Shen is beautiful or not has nothing to do with your father!”
Chi Shuyan was satisfied, but she deliberately said, “Dad, how old is Aunt Shen? I heard that she’s around your age, but she looks really young. If I didn’t know, I would have thought that she was around my age. Can someone really take care of themself that well?”
Chi Lingyan also felt it was a little strange, but it wasn’t good to speak ill of someone else’s daughter. He hadn’t felt much for Shen Rongyin in the past, but today, he felt that she was quite sensible. He didn’t know much about skincare either. Perhaps the Shen family’s old prescriptions really were useful.
Since he didn’t plan to have anything to do with Shen Rongyin, Chi Lingyan didn’t want to keep talking about her.
Chi Shuyan also relaxed and was very pleased with her father’s cold attitude toward Shen Rongyin. However, that didn’t stop her from being wary of the woman. She didn’t think that Shen Rongyin would give up so easily. Thinking about how that woman was hanging around with a black magic user, it would be bad if Shen Rongyin had the latter make a move. Chi Shuyan took out a jade pendant from her pocket, tied it on a red string, and placed it around her father’s wrist, telling him not to take it off when he could.
Chi Lingyan didn’t think much of it and just thought that it was a gift from his daughter. He was happy, but when he thought of the spirit rice from before, he still had some misgivings.
Just as he was about to ask her about it, Wei Xiao’s wife, Chang Qing, enthusiastically invited them over.
Chi Shuyan examined the Wei residence when they arrived. It was similar to her house, but much bigger. There were four bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
Because a woman was in charge, the place was very neat and warm.
Chang Qing warmly invited the father and daughter to sit down and have lunch with them. She gazed at Chi Shuyan and said to Chi Lingyan, “Old Chi, this must be your daughter! She’s prettier than I imagined. When Old Wei told me last night, I was still skeptical. In a few years, this child will be extraordinary.”
Wei Xiao also said, “Old Chi, I like your daughter’s spirit. Give her to me as a daughter-in-law!”
As soon as Wei Xiao finished speaking, Chang Qing immediately said, “Old Chi, you can choose any of my three sons! Whichever one you like!” As she spoke, Chang Qing said to Chi Shuyan, “Yan Yan, your name is Yan Yan, right? Come to Aunt Wei’s house more often in the future and treat this place as your own. No need to be polite.”
It could be seen that the husband and wife were both straightforward people and were very close to her father. Chi Shuyan had a good impression of the Wei family.
Chi Shuyan pretended to be shy and didn’t say anything, but she was actually waiting for her father to intercede.
Sure enough!
Chi Lingyan quickly said that his daughter had just started university and wasn’t old enough yet. Besides, how could he bear to marry her off?
Chang Qing joked, “Old Chi, I have too many sons anyway. You can pick any one of them to marry into your family!”
Chi Shuyan almost spat out her tea. Chi Lingyan was also rendered speechless by Chang Qing’s words.
Wei Xiao slapped his thigh and was amused, thinking that his wife’s idea was a good one. In Wei Xiao’s heart, a fair, delicate and beautiful daughter was much more valuable than a son. He really liked this daughter of Old Chi’s. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. He smiled and urged Chi Lingyan to pick one.
“Old Wei, do you want me to pick a son-in-law or a radish? Selling your own sons at a cheap price; see if Sister-in-law doesn’t teach you a lesson later!” Chi Lingyan’s words provoked laughter.
After laughing, Wei Xiao suddenly said with a serious face, “By the way, Old Wei, the Shen family invited you over today, right? That woman, Shen Rongyin, likes you? I have to give you a word of advice: It’s best if you don’t touch that daughter of the Shen family, and don’t have anything to do with her!”
