Chapter 171: A Conversation With Shi Le

Everyone headed downstairs aside from Shen Lanzhi, who stood in the master bedroom with a worried expression.

As Shi Nuannuan saw Shi Le came down, she turned her head away with displeasure.

She hated the Tengtang family the most!

Shi Le walked from the stairs and headed to the couch. When he passed by Zuo Weiyi, she visibly felt pressured.

She heard that he was the best Speaker of Country C. The ambience he radiated was really different compared to other regular humans.

He sat on the couch and lifted his gaze to his granddaughter who stood beside Zuo Weiyi, “Nuannuan, come here and sit down.”

Shi Nuannuan glanced at Tangteng Li, Tangteng Xi and her “brother” Shi Tiannan, she turned her head away, “No!”

She was disdained to sit with them.

Seeing her refusal, Shi Le’s expression darkened. His scolding gaze grew sharper, “Come here!”

Shi Nuannuan raised her eyes and walked towards the couch unwillingly only at his second command before sitting beside of Shi Le.

Zuo Weiyi scanned over the row of people sitting in front of her and saw Tangteng Xi with a scorned smile as if she was watching a drama unfolding.

All of a sudden, she felt a burning gaze piercing at her. She turned and was met with Shi Le’s dark eyes.

She was stunned by his intimidating aura.

“What’s your name?”

Shi Le gazed at her. Even if his face was wistful from his years, yet it did not overpower his daunting dominance.

Zuo Weiyi was overwhelmed, but quickly regained her composure, “Zuo Weiyi.”

Maybe she was just an ant in front of these people, but an ant had its own pride and dignity too.

When she was answering Shi Le’s question, she did not appear to be meek. Her back stood straight and waited to parry all the questions thrown at her.

“What is your relationship with my grandson?” Shi Le asked again, his voice was colder than ice.

Zuo Weiyi could feel that aside from Shi Nuannuan, no one liked her.

But facing Shi Le’s second question, she hesitated.

What was the relationship between herself and Shi Yuting?

She was unclear about that too.

“I… Like him.”

Zuo Weiyi raised her eyes, her dark eyes were filled with determination.

Every single person on the couch was baffled by her confession.

This peasant dared to say that she liked Shi Yuting?

Did she know who is Shi Yuting?

Shi Le glanced at her and his lips curled into a sneer, “Do you know who he is?”

Zuo Weiyi could not help but smile with a hint of self-mocking too.

Who he is?

Of course, she knew.

Because of that, everyone thought that she did not deserve to stay by his side.

“I do, he’s the future president of Country C.”

“If you know who he is, then you should be clear of your identity too,” Shi Le tore his gaze away from her and stared forward, both of his hands rested on his staff, his face full with pride and power.

“A woman like you doesn’t even stand a chance of becoming his maid!”

Hearing his words, Zuo Weiyi’s heart scrunched up painfully.

Her hands secretly balled into a fist.

Indeed, she was different from Tangteng Xi. She did not have a rich background or a famous family, but even so, she would not allow her dignity to be tarnished!

Shi Nuannuan turned her head towards her grandfather as well, she felt furious towards his insults.
