Chapter 48: I'm Very Sorry

In Shi Yunli's office, Xia Qiaoan received a warm welcome.

Shi Yunli said that it was Xia Qiaoan who brought good luck. The company's stock price stabilized, and Shi Huai, who had been indifferent to the company in the past, became attentive. All of this was brought about by Xia Qiaoan.

Xia Qiaoan could only silently apologize in her heart. If this kind old man knew that the source of all misfortune was her, he would probably be furious and pass out.

"I talked to Shi Huai about the land," Shi Yunli said sincerely, "I agree. I also suffered as a child in the village. I know the importance of studying better than anyone else. I will give this piece of land to the school for free."

Xia Qiaoan was very grateful, "I thank you for your understanding first. However, this piece of land has failed to auction, and it may need to be re-auctioned. I don't know what the outcome will be."

Shi Yunli stroked his chin, "I know. That Mochen, I estimate that he was just bored and playing around. That piece of land has no value to him at all. Maybe he thought it was useless after he got it, so he breached the contract."

"You... really trust him," Xia Qiaoan didn't know what to say. Anyway, from Shi Yunli's words, she could hear that as an elder, he still regarded Li Mochen as a child.

Little did he know that he had become a bad child with a very narrow mind and a strong sense of revenge.

"Mochen's child is not bad. His father died early, and he took charge early. He was able to stabilize Dingsheng and became a top group. I'm not as good as him in this kind of ability."

"The business world is like a battlefield. He didn't come here easily through the winds and storms. Occasionally, he has a childish temper, which doesn't hurt the big picture." Shi Yunli praised sincerely.

Xia Qiaoan didn't know how to respond. To be honest, she hadn't spent much time tracing Li Mochen's past.

"Dad, it's a bit inappropriate for you to praise another man in front of Qiaoan," Shi Huai was displeased, but he still controlled himself well.

For the people he respected, he wouldn't be too sharp.

Shi Yunli realized that he was indeed saying something inappropriate in front of the girl his son liked. He quickly patted his head, "I'm getting old and confused. Qiaoan, I've also been very tired these days. How about you and Shi Huai have dinner with me tonight?"

Xia Qiaoan couldn't refuse, and moreover, she hadn't figured out what the inside story was about the failed auction of the Wucun land.

She nodded, "Okay, Uncle."

After Shi Yunli finished his work, the three of them drove to the restaurant.

They sat down at the reserved seats. Shi Yunli said, "This is the highest restaurant in Chenjiang. I like to sit by the window. My eyes are open, and my appetite can also improve."

"I like it too." When Xia Qiaoan smiled, she had a hint of a sweet girl's taste in her coldness.

The three of them were chatting and laughing, attracting the attention of someone not far away.

Xia Wenwen was in high spirits. She rubbed her eyes, and thought she had seen wrong, but it really was Xia Qiaoan!

She was furious!

Those two useless idiots who failed and didn't accomplish anything, not only failed to do things, but also exposed her inside. The public summoned her inside and questioned her for a day and a night. Fortunately, she hadn't succeeded and hadn't transferred the money, so she bit her lip and didn't admit it, and was released.

Her parents were now lying in the hospital, and her family's assets were cleared to zero. She was also worried about how to get Li Mochen's help again, and it was a headache.

Xia Qiaoan, this thing, didn't know what kind of dog shit luck she had, and was sitting here unscathed, and also had fun with the Shi family father and son. Why!

Under the influence of alcohol, Xia Wenwen's jealousy made her even more over the top.

"Sister!"

Xia Wenwen's coquettish voice came from above.

Xia Qiaoan raised her eyes, slightly disgusted, and didn't seem surprised to see her.

"Why aren't you happy to see me, Sister?"

Xia Wenwen, thick-skinned, sat down in a seat nearby, greeting them as if they were familiar, "Is this Uncle Shi? Hello, Uncle, I'm Xia Qiaoan's sister, my name is Xia Wenwen."

"Oh, hello." Shi Yunli answered politely.

Xia Qiaoan said coldly, "Xia Wenwen, don't you think it's very impolite to attend someone else's dinner like this?"

"Is Sister afraid that I'll say something bad?" Xia Wenwen supported her head, acting charming.

Causing Old Master Shi to frown.

Shi Huai said, "Has Secretary Xia lost her job and has no income? If you want someone to pay for your alcohol, I can do it as a good deed."

Shi Yunli glared at him. He had never seen Shi Huai treat someone like a hedgehog.

Xia Wenwen laughed, "Say more if you can, Young Master Shi. With what you said, I feel like I can open up more."

Xia Qiaoan said, "You should be grateful for why you still have the opportunity to sit here. I advise you to cherish it."

Xia Wenwen's face was fierce, "Ha, Young Master Shi, you probably haven't been online to see Uncle. Grandpa, a few days ago, my sister was a big star online."

Shi Huai had already been pushed to the limit. He slammed his hands on the table, "Xia Wenwen, don't push me too far."

He could do anything for Xia Qiaoan.

But Xia Wenwen took out her phone and showed those photos, "Uncle, look, look quickly, these photos were taken when my sister was studying. She mixed with different men in nightclubs and had a very chaotic private life. My parents couldn't control her! She cleaned herself up after returning to China, and now she's flirting with your son. Don't be fooled by her innocent appearance."

"Enough!" Shi Huai couldn't bear it anymore, he stood up suddenly and was about to pull Xia Wenwen away. He was afraid that Xia Wenwen would continue to say something, and he would really hit someone.

At this moment, the Old Master Shi spoke, his expression was calm, as if an elder was speaking to a junior, "Have you said enough?"

"I'm very sorry," Shi Yunli looked at Xia Qiaoan.

Xia Wenwen was ecstatic inside. She knew that these wealthy families all avoid gossip about women's scandals, no matter if it was true or false, it was enough to instill a bunch of it!

Xia Qiaoan wanted to explain, "Uncle, these..."

Shi Yunli's hand stopped in mid-air, "I'm very sorry, Qiaoan, you actually have such a family."
