I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 495


    “That goes without saying.” Su Huaibei was cognizant that the Shi family wasn’t going to roll out the red


    carpet for him. After all, he was responsible for what happened. Despite the fact that he didn’t have


    much of a choice, the fault was still his in the end. No matter what Shi Yunsheng, Jiang Yu, or Shi


    Jingzheng said to him, he would endure it. At the end of the day, he hade with a humble attitude.


    However, Su Huaibei didn’t expect Shi Yunsheng to treat Shi Nuan so well. In fact, he was surprised


    that Shi Yunsheng didn’t let the enmity between them affect his rtionship with Shi Nuan at all.

    Although the Shi family was caught off guard by Shi Nuan’s guest, Shi Yunsheng was still someone


    that was extremely experienced. He quickly regained hisposure and assumed the responsibility of


    being a gracious host. “Dinner is ready. However, what we have prepared are simple dishes, I hope


    you won’t mind,” Shi Yunsheng said to Su Huaibei.


    “Old Mr. Shi, you are being too gracious. It is I who have imposed on you today. Hence, I should be the


    one to hope that you pardon my intrusion.”


    Su Huaibei was so courteous that Shi Yunsheng had no chance to express his displeasure.


    “Nuan,e over to my side. You too, Yan.” Shi Yunsheng waved and both Shi Nuan and Fu


    Chengyan took their seats beside Shi Yunsheng. Shi Yunsheng was seating at the head of the table


    while Shi Nuan, Fu Chengyan, and Su Huaibei sat on one side. On the other side sat Shi Jingzheng


    and Jiang Yu. Furthest from him were Shi Wei and Fu Xicheng.


    Fu Xicheng was as good as being non-existent at the dinner as everyone’s attention was focused on


    Su Huaibei and Fu Chengyan. Even the topics discussed at the table revolved around them. All Fu


    Xicheng did was stare at Shi Nuan the whole time.


    He noticed that Shi Nuan had put on some weight and looked so radiant that it felt as if she was


    glowing.


    No matter how hard he tried, Fu Xicheng couldn’t peel his eyes away from Shi Nuan. Meanwhile, Shi


    Nuan could feel that she was being watched intently. The moment she looked up, her eyes came into


    contact with those of Shi Wei and Fu Xicheng. Shi Nuan furrowed her brows subconsciously and


    looked away.


    Fu Chengyan had noticed the brief exchange and narrowed his eyes in response. By the time he


    looked towards them, Fu Xicheng and Shi Wei had turned their gaze away. Fu Chengyan frowned in


    displeasure. He lowered his gaze at Shi Nuan. “What’s wrong?”


    Shi Nuan shook her head. “Nothing.”


    “Is Nuan not feeling well?” Shi Yunsheng too noticed Shi Nuan’s difort. “Are the dishes not to your


    liking? Do you need me to get the cook to prepare something else?”


    “You don’t have to, Granddad. The food is delicious so don’t worry about it.” Shi Nuan waved her hands


    immediately. “I’m fine, really.”


    Shi Yunsheng nodded in response. “That’s good then. If there’s anything that you don’t like, you must


    tell me, alright?”


    “Mmm-hmm, Granddad. Don’t you worry. Actually, it’s been more than three months now and I feel


    alright. The baby has been good and hasn’t caused any trouble.”


    “Is that so?” Shi Yunsheng beamed in response. “That’s good news. Before this, I did want to visit you.


    But I was worried that your pregnancy hadn’t reached a stable stage yet so it was better for you to not


    move around too much.”


    “Mmm-hmm. But I’m fine now. Anytime you miss me, just tell me and I wille to visit you.”


    “That won’t do. I will visit you instead.” Shi Yunsheng was really happy when he spoke with Shi Nuan.


    But when his eyes fell upon Su Huaibei, his expression darkened. “Are you here today to officially


    acknowledge Nuan as your daughter?”


    “That’s right, Old Mr. Shi. There’s no way I can repay the debt I owe you for taking care of Nuan over


    the years. If there’s anything you need of me, please let me know and I will do my best to get it done.”


    “It doesn’t matter to me whether you pay your debt to me.” Shi Yunsheng waved his hand. “Whatever


    the Su family has, the Shi family doesn’tck either. I’m just worried about Nuan, and that the Su


    family…”


    “Old Mr. Shi, my father loves Nuan too and the Su family has also agreed to ept Nuan into their


    fold.” Just as he spoke, Su Huaibei paused briefly. “You don’t have to worry. Even if Nuan joins the Su


    family, she is still your granddaughter. No one can erase the fact that you have raised her into a


    wonderful adult.”


    Shi Yunsheng was put at ease. “I’m relieved to hear your words. Besides, the more people caring about


    Shi Nuan, the better. This girl has had it tough. Now that she has married a good husband, my mind


    has finally been put at ease. Previously, I expected her to live out her days without finding out about her


    family history. But now that she has and doesn’t resent you, it’s not my ce toment further.


    However, I have to warn you upfront. If the Su family mistreats Nuan, I will be the first person to teach


    you a lesson!”


    “Old Mr. Shi, please don’t worry.”


    “Dad!” Jiang Yu looked at Shi Yunsheng in disbelief as she didn’t expect him to readily agree. “We were


    the ones that brought up Shi Nuan, what right does he have to take her away just like that?”


    “What do you want then?” Shi Yunsheng mmed the table furiously. “Tell me, what do you want to


    do? She is his daughter. So, what do you expect?”


    “So what if Shi Nuan’s his daughter? When he cruelly abandoned her then, doesn’t it show that he


    didn’t care? If it wasn’t for us, Shi Nuan may have been sold off or even…”


    “Enough.” Shi Yunsheng shot an angry re at Jiang Yu. “You’re getting out of line here. Even if we


    didn’t take Shi Nuan in, what about your dad? Would Old Master Jiang leave his granddaughter out in


    the wild? You are Nuan’s aunt for goodness sake. Please tell me what have you done for her all these


    years? When ites to raising her, do you think that I’m oblivious to all that you have done?”


    “But I…”


    “That’s enough. I am still the head of the household so I have the authority to decide.” Shi Yunsheng


    didn’t allow her to remonstrate further and red angrily at both Jiang Yu and Shi Jingzheng. “Since


    you have never really carried out your responsibilities properly from the beginning, you have no right to


    im credit for raising her. These matters are between me and Mr. Su, so both of you should shut up!”


    Despite feeling dissatisfied, Jiang Yu and Shi Jingzheng didn’t dare to defy Shi Yunsheng. After all, he


    was the head of the family.


    As for Shi Wei who was sitting by the side, her mind was in turmoil.


    She didn’t understand why she wasn’t the focus of the family despite being the eldest daughter of the


    Shi family. Everyone should have pampered and treasured her. However, as long as Shi Nuan was


    around, she would always be sidelined.


    As a famous actress, this was something Shi Wei found uneptable.


    Suddenly, she mmed her chopsticks on the table, causing a loud bang. The sound caused everyone


    to turn their attention to her.


    Shi Wei pursed her lips as her face writhed in anger. “Dad, Mom, you are being told that she belongs to


    the Su family. So why are you still protesting? Now, all you feel is regret. In that case, why didn’t you


    treat her better all this while?”


    “You silly girl, how can you speak like that?”


    “Am I wrong? Don’t you hate Shi Nuan’s real mother for stealing the man you love from you?” Thrusting


    her chin forward at Jiang Yu, Shi Wei sneered, “You keep telling me that you love me, but why is your


    attention always on Shi Nuan? And you, Dad, is it because Shi Nuan is the child of the woman you


    love, that’s why…”


    “Shut up!” Shi Jingzheng, who had remained silent throughout, mmed his chopsticks on the table


    and gave Shi Wei a p. The p was so forceful that Shi Wei was shaken to her core.


    Her eyes widened in shock as she didn’t expect Shi Jingzheng to hit her over the matter.


    She stood up with her eyes reddened. “Fine. Hit me. After all, you only care about Shi Nuan and not


    me at all!” With that, Shi Wei ran upstairs.


    “Wei…” Jiang Yu was so worried that she wanted to go check on Shi Wei but Fu Xicheng pre-empted


    her. “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll check on her.” Just as he spoke, he couldn’t help but steal a nce at Shi


    Nuan again.


    Shi Nuan felt disgusted whenever he did that.


    The man from her past had turned into someone ugly now. Despite both of them having their respective


    families, the way Fu Xicheng looked at her was simply too intrusive and it made her feel extremely


    ufortable.


    After Shi Wei and Fu Xicheng left, silence returned to the table. Shi Nuan continued to eat quietly and


    would asionally serve Shi Yunsheng some food. “Granddad, please have more!”


    “Sure!” Shi Yunsheng nodded with a smile. “Good gal!”


    “By the way, does your Grandpa know about it?”


    Shi Nuan paused before putting down her chopsticks. “I have discussed this with Yan and we decided


    to talk to you first. After that, we will see Grandpa to tell him.” Shi Nuan pursed her lips. “Granddad, I’m


    sorry to have done this. However, please rest assured that no matter where I am, I will always be your


    granddaughter. That is a fact that no one will be able to change.”


    Shi Yunsheng grinned widely in response. “Mmm-hmm, I know. You have always been a good gal.”


    He turned towards Su Huaibei next. “Now that Nuan has decided to return to the Su family, what will


    be of her name?”


    “I’m not particr on that. If she doesn’t want to change it, then so be it.” Su Huaibeiughed. “Other


    than making up for twenty-odd years of being missing from her life, I have no other agendas. In fact,


    nothing else will change.”


    “That’s great!” Shi Yunsheng nodded. “Nuan, listen to me. You can change your surname, but would


    you consider keeping your first name?’


    Shi Nuan looked at Shi Yunsheng in surprise. “Granddad… actually, I have no intention of changing my


    name.”


    “You must!” Shi Yunsheng insisted as he reached out to hold Shi Nuan’s hand. He then gently patted


    her hand on its back. “Listen to me, you must change your name.”


    Shi Jingzheng and Jiang Yu were shocked by Shi Yunsheng’s insistence. “Dad, do you know what


    you’re saying? Why are you allowing her to change her surname? She… she said so herself that she


    doesn’t want to change it. Besides, the Su family didn’t even request her to do it.”


    By changing her name now, it would be the equivalent of dering to the world that she was no longer


    rted to the Shi family at all. When that happens, their ties would officially be broken. If Shi Nuan


    severed ties with the Shi family, they would also lose their connection to Fu Chengyan.


    As a businessman, Shi Jingzheng quickly understood the implications behind the decision.


    There are no free lunches in this world. If they are no longer rted to the Fu n, Fu Chengyan would


    naturally not be obliged to help the Shi family nor Huancheng anymore.


    “No, I won’t agree to this!”
