Chapter 267
Seeing his expression, Shi Jin could guess what he was thinking. He had already made too many
preparations for their lives.
Shi Jin did not stop him from preparing the gift.
At noon, Fu Xiuyuan drove with Shi Jin to the bamboo garden that Old Master Li had booked.
After all, Shi Jin was an artiste now. She still wore a mask with Fu Xiuyuan, moving in a low-profile
manner. However, as he was meeting her family, she didn''t put on much of a disguise.
Therefore, the moment they entered, they attracted Shi Xuexin''s gaze.
Shi Xuexin raised her head and looked over. Why would Shi Jine to Bamboo Garden? The
prices here were not low.
On second thought, Shi Jin was now a rather famous artiste with a high ie. Shi Xuexin felt
upset.
For someone like Shi Jin, who could earn a fortune just by writing or singing a song, and someone
like her who had studied piano and Chinese art seriously, their ies were disparate. This world
was really unfair.
"Is that Shi Jin?" Yuxiu Hua asked.
"Yes, I think so," said Shi Xuexin.
Yuxiu Hua said indifferently, "By entering the entertainment industry, she can finallye to this
kind of ce to spend money. If it wasn''t for Chu Ling being taken advantage of by her to gain
poprity back then... who is that beside her? Did she change boyfriends?"
Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan walked in. They were not holding hands, but the aura between their brows
made it easy for others to see their intimate attitude and Shi Jin''s blissful expression.
Moreover, that man had a strong aura. Although he was wearing a mask, one could tell that he was
handsome and extraordinary. He was even taller than Chu Ling.
Yuxiu Hua instantly felt her teeth aching. "It seems to be some fresh meat, perhaps from a talent
show?"
Shi Xuexin also realized that the man looked exceptionally good. He seemed familiar.
After Yuxiu Hua said that, she guessed he might be an entertainment newbie. However, there was
an endless stream of fresh meat celebrities these days. The entertainmentpanies had to
release several hundred young fresh meat celebrities into the market every year, so there were so
many that it was dazzling.
However, their careers would only be a sh in the pan. There was basically no one who was as
popr as Chu Ling.
With that thought, Shi Xuexin was satisfied. Even if Shi
Jin were to parade a hundred young hunks around, they would not be able topare to Chu
Ling''s pinky.
She looked away and said, "Mom, Chairman Zhang ising soon. Let''s not bother about them."
She adjusted her smile. When Shi Jin came over, she would still greet her properly, even though
they had had some disagreements earlier.
However, Shi Jin and the man did not walk towards them. Instead, they went straight to the building
and the manager personally came to wee them.
Shi Xuexin''s expression changed.
Bamboo Garden had always been reserved for the wealthy and influential. Ordinary people might
not be able to enter even if they had money.
Today, she was going to invite Chairman Zhang. Shi Xuexin had even specially asked a Chinese
artist she knew to help her book this ce. However, she could only book a spot on the first floor.
The first floor was not bad, it was spacious and each table was in its own rtively independent and
private environment. It was very suitable for business guests.
Shi Xue had never even dared to think of a ce like the second floor.
However, Shi Jin was able to achieve this just by bing a small celebrity?
She felt extremely repulsed by these people who only followed celebrities!

After Shi Jin went upstairs, the manager respectfully led her to a private room.
Fu Xiuyuan pushed the door open and entered. Shi Jin saw Old Master Li sitting at the head of the
table. When he saw her, an indescribable happiness appeared on his aged face and his eyes went
slightly red. It was obvious that he had mentioned Shi Jin to Li Juekai.
Li Juekai and Gu Qingqing sat to one side while Gu Jingyuan stood behind Old Master Li.
"Shi Jin,e over to grandpa''s side." Old Master Li''s voice was slightly choked.
Shi Jin walked to his side obediently. He had a face that was very simr to Li Juekai''s. Although he
was already old, one could still tell that he had had an extraordinary bearing and appearance during
his prime.
"Grandfather." Shi Jin took his hand. "It''s Shi Jin."
Old Master Li''s voice choked again and he only said a few words. "Okay, okay, okay."
"Grandpa." Fu Xiuyuan greeted him.
Only then did Old Master Li remember that Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan were already married and were
very happy. He beamed and said, "Hurry and let Grandpa take a good look at you guys."
Fu Xiuyuan was wearing the clothes that Shi Jin had given him. He was tall and slender, with deep-
set eyes and a straight nose. He was the perfect man in everyone''s eyes.
With his rtionship with the Li family, how could Old Master Li not be satisfied?
He immediately handed over tworge red packets. "You''re both married, but grandpa hasn''t given
you any gifts yet. Take them quickly. I''ll bring you something from the cityter. You must take them
when you leave." "Yes, we almost forgot to give you a wedding gift. Shi Jin, Mom has been too busy
recently. Take no notice." Gu Qingqing also took two big red packets out and handed them over.
The red packets were heavy, and it was unknown what they contained.
Of course, Shi Jin didn''t mind. Li Juekai''s leg injury had consumed too much of Gu Qingqing''s
energy. How could she me her mother?
Gu Jingyuan also handed something over. "This is for you."
Shi Jin epted the gift and handed it to Fu Xiuyuan.
It was just some tea leaves. Before Shi Jin left, she snipped the orchids and ice mint leaves that she
had nted and brought some inside.
Yao orchids helped with sleep, and the Ice mint calmed the meridians. It was extremely beneficial to
sleep.
With this exchange of gifts, the distance between them closed.

Old Master Li looked at Shi Jin and felt at ease. This was probably the natural effect between
bloodlines.
Although he had raised Shi Xuexin single-handedly in the past, he had always felt that she was
overlypetitive and vain. Therefore, he could not help but teach her a little more harshly at
times. Who knew that she would turn out to be disloyal?
It was rare for the family to have time together like this. They chatted andughed as they ate. Even
Fu Xiuyuan, who had always been aloof, had a gentle expression on his face.
After dinner, they went downstairs together.
The Shi family of three was having a meal with Chairman Zhang. Chairman Zhang''s tone was
rxed, and Shi Xuexin''s perfect ttery was very pleasing to him.
"Chairman Zhang, we are indebted to you for taking care of the Shi family''s business this time!" Shi
Xuexin drank a few more sses with him.
Seeing that Shi Xuexin could act as the backbone of the Shi family, Yuxiu Hua was extremely
gratified.
Fortunately, she had found her biological daughter. If Shi Jin was here, she would only know how to
eat and do nothing else.
Chairman Zhang was eating happily. It was almost time for him to leave.
Shi Xuexin and Shi Qing apanied Chairman Zhang as they left the table. Just as they were
about to walk out, she saw Old Master Liing down from upstairs.
Shi Jin was holding Old Master Li''s arm and walking down with him.
Shi Xuexin hesitated. Should she go forward to greet him? After all, she had been brought up by
Old Master Li. Although her material life was not rich, Old Master Li''s teachings to her were very
strict and he had done his best.
Logically speaking, she shouldn''t have distanced herself from Old Master Li, and she shouldn''t have
lied to him. However, if she were to go over and greet him now, she would really... despise him.
