I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 271
Shi Nuan thought Shi Yunsheng seemed strange; nevertheless, she nodded. “Yes.”
Shi Yunsheng’s face was grim, but he regained hisposure after a while. “Why did your mother get
it wrong, then?”
Shi Nuan thought it was a funny story. Jiang Yu had introduced the man to her, but the former didn’t
even know who he really was. Hence, Su Shaoqing managed to impersonate the real Su Bancheng for
some time.
Shi Nuan told the entire story to Shi Yunsheng, who seemed shocked by the events. “So your mother
doesn’t even know what Su Bancheng looks like?”
Shi Nuan nodded. Su Shaoqing replied, “My aunt owed Madam Jiang a favor when she was young.
Since my aunt is in the Su family, Madam Jiang targeted my brother, but he wasn’t interested in blind
dating. Since he knew Shi Nuan is married to Chengyan, he came up with a n for me to impersonate
him.”
“You’re a substitute, then?” Shi Nuan smiled as he held Shi Yunsheng’s hand. “Yan knows about this.”
Shi Yunsheng finally understood what was going on. “I’m d Yan knows about this. I was afraid he
might misunderstand, which would affect your rtionship.”
After everything was made clear, Shi Yunsheng was relieved. He patted Shi Nuan’s handfortingly.
“I’m old, and I don’t want to interfere in your private affairs. My only wish is for you and Yan to live
together in harmony,” Shi Yunsheng couldn’t help but sigh. “If it wasn’t for your parents, you and Yan
wouldn’t have to hide your rtionship until now!”
Shi Yunsheng nced at Su Shaoqing. “And it must be inconvenient for Mr. Su.”
Shi Nuanughed and shook her head. “Granddad, don’t be afraid of troubling him. He has too much
free time on hand.”
Su Shaoqing raised his brows and grinned. “Mr. Shi, Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan are both my friends.
Besides, this involves my brother as well. It’s my duty to help them. But this isn’t a permanent solution
to the problem.”
Shi Yunsheng nodded. “Yes, I think so, too. But the Shi family’s connections are a littleplicated. I’m
afraid Nuan will get hurt.”
Su Shaoqing narrowed his eyes. “No, she’s smart.” He had never questioned that fact.
If Shi Nuan wasn’t brilliant, that arrogant Fu Chengyan wouldn’t have set his eyes on her. But because
she was a sentimental person, the Shi family was able to bully her.
“But Granddad, you’ve just asked about the Jiang family in Sheen City. Is this rted? Or do you know
someone from the Jiang family?”
Shi Yunsheng’s muscles twitched when Shi Nuan asked that question, but he regained hisposure
immediately. He shook his head and replied, “No, it was just a casual question.”
Shi Nuan thought something felt strange, but she couldn’t do anything since Shi Yunsheng refused to
say a word. Su Shaoqing, on the other hand, was certain Shi Yunsheng wanted to say something.
Nevertheless, Su Shaoqing also remained silent. He just didn’t manage to figure out the reason behind
the old man’s behavior.
While the three of them were chatting upstairs, it was a altogether different scene downstairs.
Shi Wei hade home with Fu Xicheng. Both of them still weren’t talking to each other, but at least
Fu Xicheng had toned down his anger.
Jiang Yu was delighted to see her daughter and son-inw. As they were holding hands, and Shi Wei
was smiling, Jiang Yu finally stopped worrying about them. “Wei, Xicheng, you’re back. Hurry, take a
seat!”
“Mom,” Shi Wei let go of Fu Xicheng’s hand and went to her mother. “Why are you alone? Where’s
Dad? And Granddad?” Shi Wei nced around but didn’t see Shi Jingzheng or Shi Yunsheng
anywhere. She continued, “What about Nuan?”
Fu Xicheng, who had been unenthusiastic all the while, immediately perked up at the mention of Shi
Nuan’s name. A vicious glint appeared in Shi Wei’s eyes upon seeing her husband’s reaction, but she
suppressed her emotions. “Mom?”
Jiang Yu saw her son-inw’s reaction, too. She replied angrily, “As a matter of fact, that brat is so
infuriating. Didn’t I introduce a man to her before the new year?”
“Yes, I remember that. The man is from the Su family, and his name is Su Bancheng, right?” Shi Nuan
yed along with Jiang Yu. “What’s wrong? Did Nuan blow it off?”
“What? That damned brat has no manners at all. I introduced that man to her, but she brought that man
back just now without making it official with him.”
Jiang Yu pretended to be disappointed and worried. “Well, I’ve spoilt her too much, so she’s getting
worse. This celebration is supposed to be a family affair, but she brought back an outsider.”
“Yes, it is wrong of Nuan to do so,” Shi Wei agreed before continuing, “That means Nuan and Mr. Su
have decided to settle down? Are they getting married soon? I think Nuan knows her limits. Since she
brought him back to celebrate the new year together, there might be good news soon!”
Shi Wei turned to Fu Xicheng. “Am I right, Xicheng?”
Fu Xicheng was taken aback. When he finally snapped out of his daze, he nodded nkly and replied,
“I think so.”
Shi Wei was upset upon seeing his reaction, but it didn’t show on her face. “It’ste. Where’s Dad?”
“Oh, he said he’ll be back soon,” Jiang Yu took Shi Wei’s hand. “Here, sit down. We haven’t met in a
while. Let me see, did you lose weight?”
Jiang Yu noticed Shi Wei had full makeup on. It might be because of the allergic reaction her daughter
had suffered earlier. Her heart ached as she said, “I never knew that woman would act so cruelly. A
woman’s face is important. How could she do that to you?”
She reached out to caress Shi Wei’s face. “Does it still hurt now?”
“Not anymore,” Shi Wei moved Jiang Yu’s hand away awkwardly and shook her head. “I’m much better
now. The doctor gave me medicine and told me to watch my diet. There are many things which I can’t
eat,” Shi Wei looked at Fu Xicheng. “Xicheng, my face is much better now, isn’t it?”
As she mentioned his name, Fu Xicheng raised his head abruptly and nodded. “Yes, it is. You need to
watch your diet for now.”
“Yes. Mom, look. Even Xicheng said so, hence you needn’t worry,” Shi Wei hurriedly changed the topic.
“Why is Nuan still upstairs? Xicheng hasn’t met Nuan’s boyfriend yet.”
Shi Wei’s words were actually meant to jab at Fu Xicheng, to remind him that Shi Nuan already had a
boyfriend and that he should stop deluding himself. Right then, Shi Nuan was already heading
downstairs with Su Shaoqing in tow. Actually, they had already heard Jiang Yu and Shi Wei’s
conversation as they had been standing at the top of the stairs for some time.
Su Shaoqing was amused by what he heard. He thought he was thick-skinned and shameless enough,
but there were people who were more shameless than he. Those people could lie through their teeth
like it’s a piece of cake.
Shi Nuan spotted the mockery in Su Shaoqing’s eyes and scratched her head in embarrassment.
“Sorry about that.”
Su Shaoqing smirked. “Yes, what a joke. Not you, of course.” He was referring to those people
downstairs. “Actually, I’m curious. Are they really your family?”

No one could me Su Shaoqing for thinking that way. Shi Nuan differed from her family and stuck out
like a sore thumb. That was why Su Shaoqing couldn’t help but feel curious. The Shi family’s attitude
towards Shi Nuan was strange, too.
Shi Nuan couldn’t help but smile. “Yes, indeed, they are.” To be honest, Shi Nuan couldn’t believe nor
understand them, either, so she couldn’t me Su Shaoqing for thinking that way. “Let’s go down.”
Shi Wei glimpsed someoneing down the stairs and hurriedly said, “Actually, I think Nuan and Mr.
Su seem like a perfect pair. Since she brought Mr. Su back home, she must’ve thought over it carefully.
They might have agreed to get married!” Shi Wei smiled. “Mom, that will take a load off your mind. You
must be worried because I’m married and Nuan is lonely.”
She kept hinting at Jiang Yu while she talked. Jiang Yu immediately understood and continued, “Yes,
you married Xicheng, but Nuan is alone, so I’m terribly worried for her. She suffered back then. Now
that she’s found herself a man, I can finally stop worrying.”
Shi Nuan couldn’t help but sneer silently. Jiang Yu and Shi Wei could win an Oscar for their acting
skills!
Since Shi Nuan and Su Shaoqing wereing down, Shi Wei hurriedly stood up. “Nuan, Mr. Su, you
are already here?” Si Wei feigned embarrassment. “I was talking about you with Mom and Xicheng.”
“Really?” Shi Nuan held Su Shaoqing’s hand as they sat down. There was a hint of irony in her eyes
which, in the past, used to endure everything. Shi Nuan stared straight at Shi Wei with an alluring smile
on her face. Right then, Shi Wei felt she was nothing but a clown in front of Shi Nuan!
Shi Wei’s face froze. “Yes. Mom was saying I’m married to Xicheng, but you are still alone, so she’s
worried about you. She managed to find a brilliant partner for you. We are both d to see you happy
with him.”
Shi Wei smiled as she walked toward Shi Nuan, but her gaze was fixated on Su Shaoqing.
She had met Su Shaoqing previously during the meal they had at the hotel. But back then, Shi Wei was
paying attention to Fu Xicheng, scheming to separate him from Shi Nuan. She was sublimely unaware
of “Su Bancheng”. Now that she had the chance to see him again, she realized there was an elegant
air about him. It was rare to see a man like him.
Shi Wei’s heart started going into overdrive. She gazed at Su Shaoqing, her face slightly blushing.
“Hello, Mr. Su. Do you still remember me? We have met previously.”
Su Shaoqing smiled, his eyes crinkling up. His gaze settled on Shi Wei as he said, “Ms. Shi, I believe
with your looks, no one would forget you.”
