His Glamorous Reborn Wife

Chapter 266

Old Master Li had not been in good health at that time and had believed it to be true. He could only find out more about Shi Jin through Shi Xuexin's phone.

Shi Xuexin's explanation was similar to that of the others. She told him, "Shi Jin doesn't want to go back at all. She doesn't want to leave this house and leave the city. She can't accept it at the moment. But don't worry, Grandfather. I will take good care of Shi Jin and accompany her through this. If she is willing to stay with the Shi family, I will treat her like my own sister. It just so happens that she has a friend. It'll be quite nice for us to accompany each other. Please give her more time, Grandfather, alright?"

Old Master Li trusted this child that he had raised single-handedly. He really thought that it would be good for Shi Jin to stay.

It was only after Shi Jin and the Li family gradually drifted apart that he slowly came back to his senses. How could Shi Jin not have been willing to pick up the call back then?

It was Shi Xuexin who had not given her a chance to answer.

Why had Shi Xuexin stopped Shi Jin?

Other than the reason for Shi Jin not wanting to leave, Shi Xuexin wanted to use Shi Jin's willfulness, pettiness, and conflict to show off her own generosity and understanding.

Everything had to be contrasted. She was afraid that she would not be able to blend in with the Shi family, so she needed Shi Jin to compare with.

As expected, Yuxiu Hua and Shi Qing were quickly won over by her sensible and obedient behavior. When the rest of the Shi family saw this, they all said, "As expected of the biological one!"

Old Master Li found it hard to believe that she would do such a thing. By the time he came back to his senses, it had been a few years since then and Shi Jin no longer trusted the Li family.

The call just now was just another testament to Shi Xuexin's true nature.

Old Master Li regretted it so much that his insides hurt. He felt even more guilty and vexed. He had been shrewd all his life, but he had actually been fooled by a little girl.

Seeing the look in his eyes again, the driver advised, "Old Master, don't let your health deteriorate. Doesn't Miss already know about the Li family's painstaking efforts? Besides, it's inevitable that tigers fall asleep and get tricked by little white rabbits sometimes."

Shi Jin returned home and went upstairs with her clothes.

The study room was ajar and Fu Xiuyuan was working. Shi Jin stuck her head in.

Seeing that he was busy with a video conference, Shi Jin quickly mouthed, "I'm sorry, carry on."

Fu Xiuyuan said into the computer, "Let's call it a day."

He got up and walked towards Shi Jin.

When he was at home, he did not wear a suit. Instead, he had changed into a beige casual outfit, which made him seem less aloof and more easygoing.

He had just gotten out of work and there was a hint of seriousness in his expression. He was still handsome and had an extraordinary bearing.

"I just wanted to see if you were busy and tell you something," Shi Jin explained. She hadn't expected him to notice her and end the meeting.

"Yes, go ahead." Fu Xiuyuan was prepared to listen.

When he spoke to others, his gaze was always like a torch. Sometimes, when he didn't directly look at the person speaking, he would exert a huge pressure, but when he spoke to Shi Jin, he would look into her eyes seriously, as if she was the only one in the world.

"Grandfather is coming over tomorrow and will have lunch with me. I think it'll be better if you accompany me."

With that, Fu Xiuyuan led her to the closet.

Needless to say, Shi Jin understood what he meant. Choose clothes!

The last time he had gone to see her parents and brother, Fu Xiuyuan had gone through a lot of trouble. It hadn't been easy for him to find a familiar face in front of the three of them, and now he had to accept the Old Master's test. How could he go unprepared?

Facing the huge wardrobe, Fu Xiuyuan was in a pickle once again.

In fact, the clothes in his wardrobe did not differ much in terms of style or material. Most of them were formal wear, with a small portion being casual wear. The formal wear was mainly dark-colored, while the casual wear was mostly beige-colored.

It meant that there was really nothing to choose from. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"This... Will it age me?" Fu Xiuyuan reached out to take a set, a sentence appearing in his mind.

He was five years older than Shi Jin, would Old Master Li despise him? No, he'd have to choose something different.

He took another set. "Won't this look childish?"

It would make Old Master Li feel uneasy about letting him take care of Shi Jin.

The more he looked at it, the more dissatisfied he became. The formal attire was too formal and oppressive. It did not fit the requirements for meeting her family. While the casual wear was too informal, making him seem frivolous and not steady enough.

The rest was even worse.

Fu Xiuyuan didn't say these words out loud, but Shi Jin understood everything, as though it was written all over his face.

Several hundred sets of clothes were rejected by Fu Xiuyuan just like that. The designer might start to doubt his line of work if he knew.

Shi Jin knew it!

She reached out and handed him the clothes she had brought back from the company. "These'll work. I made clothes for Supreme Entertainment today and saw that this material was not bad. I got them to make a set for you."

Fu Xiuyuan took the clothes from Shi Jin's hands. His deep black eyes lit up immediately, and his voice was sexy and steady. "This set is very suitable."

Shi Jin thought to herself, "Oh please, Master Fu, you haven't even opened the box."

Fu Xiuyuan lowered his eyes and his gaze landed on the box. He threw it down on the sofa and wrapped his arms around Shi Jin's waist. He pulled her closer and said in a hoarse, pleasant voice, "Thank you."

He really liked this gift.

Shi Jin raised her eyes. Fu Xiuyuan lowered his head and kissed her scarlet lips.

As expected, she did not resist. Instead, she raised her slender neck to respond. Fu Xiuyuan's palm landed carefully on her slender waist.

Shi Jin had wanted to tell him to try the clothes on first, but now, there was no need.

She had never thought that giving him this set of clothes would trigger such a huge reaction from him. He held the back of her head and kissed her seemingly endlessly.

The next day, Fu Xiuyuan woke up early and put on the clothes Shi Jin had given him.

For the first time, he seriously examined his figure and height in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

His clothes were custom-made by the Fu family, so it was rare to see a suit made of this material and design in his closet. It turned out that this was the most beautiful suit he now owned.

When Shi Jin got out of bed, she saw Fu Xiuyuan sitting on the sofa, working. She had no idea that Fu Xiuyuan had been wearing the set of clothes and looking at his beautiful self in front of the mirror for more than half an hour.

She remembered that this was her first time meeting Old Master Li in this lifetime. She said, "I want to buy some gifts for Grandpa."

"Yes, Grandpa likes to grow flowers and herbs, and he likes to drink tea." Fu Xiuyuan knew his old friend from the Li family and had already inquired about Old Master Li's preferences.

In the past, Shi Jin had resisted him and did not want to be with him at all. Even if it was the Li family's preference, he had the energy, but had no way to use it. Now, it was useful.
