Chapter 574 I Want to Annul the Engagement

The second brother, Qin Youguo, thought that the gift, which was just wrapped in a newspaper, must not be anything special.

So he smiled and suggested that they see what treasures his niece had given to the old man.

The old man looked displeased, but Qin Xuan, taking advantage of his light distance, easily opened the newspaper with a gentle tug.

"What is this? A radish? Cough cough, this little sister is really interesting."

His words revealed his ignorant and incompetent nature.

A playful glint flashed in Liu Shile's eyes before she looked at her second uncle, whom she considered a stranger.

"Qin Xuan, what nonsense are you spouting?" Qin Youguo felt a burning pain on his face.

He couldn't believe that a little girl from who-knows-where could produce such a precious item!

That's wild ginseng!

Judging by its shape, it must be over a hundred years old, right?

Such a precious item, and this brat just gave it away with a newspaper?

Just thinking about it makes his heart ache so much he can hardly breathe.

He was somewhat envious of this wild ginseng; his boss's mother seemed to be in poor health and needed a high-quality wild ginseng to nourish her body.

if……

The moment a hint of greed appeared in his eyes, Liu Shile caught it.

Ha, this wicked bastard, he even covets his own father's things.

"Uncle Qin, you'd better discipline the child properly."

This person dared to touch the elders' things without even giving them permission.

Wow, this tutor is really something else.

When Liu Shile spoke, her expression was one of utter disdain, as if Qin Xuan had lost a great deal of face.

At home, losing face isn't a big deal.

But for Liu Shile to say it so openly was a slap in the face to Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan's face immediately darkened, as if he was about to reprimand her.

"Second son, how did you raise this child? Does he not know any rules?"

The old man was reluctant to open the gift from his granddaughter in front of everyone, partly because he was worried it would be awkward for everyone.

To be honest, he didn't know much about this granddaughter.

As it turned out, the second son and Xiao Xuan were quite eager and opened the package immediately. What else could he do?

Then, this good-for-nothing actually mistook wild ginseng for a radish.

After being told this by the old man, Qin Xuan glared at Liu Shile resentfully before lowering his head.

Hmm, this person is quite patient; their patience is truly remarkable.

Okay, just like his mother, he's good at enduring, he can tolerate, and maybe he can even pretend.

Don't think Liu Shile didn't see it just now; this kid did it on purpose!

Liu Shile hadn't missed the fleeting look of surprise in his eyes before he put on that look of confusion.

Since he wants to pretend, why can't we let him pretend to his heart's content?

The old man was unaware of these things, and after speaking, he looked at Liu Shile with a smile.

"Oh, child, it's good enough that you're back for dinner. Why did you bring anything?"

"This is too precious for Grandpa to accept. You take it back."

He thought the girl was a good doctor, and this thing would be more useful to her than to him.

He genuinely didn't want it, even though he liked it very much.

However, he was already very grateful to have escaped death this time, and he was afraid that he would not be able to handle any more good fortune.

"Grandpa, please accept this. It's a token of Lele's affection."

At her sister's prompting, Liu Shihua smiled and stepped forward to persuade the old man.

Qin Youde looked at his daughter deeply and nodded, "The child is right, Dad. Since it is the child's wish, please accept it."

Liu Shile blinked innocently, feeling that her cheap father knew more than she thought.

But it doesn't matter, she won't be controlled by him anyway.

Seeing this, the others also tried to persuade him, and in the end the old man accepted it, but he also said that it was for safekeeping and she could take it away at any time.

Then, Old Master Qin took out a jewelry box that he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Liu Shile.

"This was left by your grandmother, child, you can take it."

His first wife left behind not many things; these were the only things suitable for a young girl.

Previously, since the eldest son's family had no daughters, he planned to divide the inheritance among his two granddaughters when they got married.

However, now that the eldest son's family has a daughter, this thing belongs to their eldest son's family.

The old man's words elicited various reactions from the people in the room.

Liu Shile glanced at everything in the room and accepted it.

The things that the original owner nursed naturally belonged to their eldest branch of the family.

If she doesn't accept it, the old man might just divide it up in the future.

Anyway, from the old man's perspective, these are all his descendants.

Qin Youguo's lips twitched. His wife had been thinking about this all along, but he never expected that the old man would send her away today!

If she finds out, she'll probably start arguing again.

He had a headache, but there was nothing he could do. After all, it wasn't something his biological mother left behind, and he didn't have the face to fight for it.

"Lihua, Lihua, come quickly and see who has come."

Just then, Shu Man's voice rang out from outside the door, and she sounded very happy.

Liu Shile raised an eyebrow and glanced at her cousin, who was frowning.

"Grandpa, there's something I'd like to tell you privately."

At this moment, Qin Lihua seemed to have finally made a decision.

In fact, she had been thinking about things the whole time, so she didn't even see the wild ginseng she had seen before.

If her second aunt hadn't been urging her from outside, she wouldn't have made up her mind so quickly.

"Lihua, what do you want to see your grandfather about?" Qin Youming asked, puzzled by his daughter's serious expression.

What could a young girl like her possibly want to say to the old man?

Also, this child seems to have become much bolder; she would never have dared to act like this in front of the old man before.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take another look at his newly returned niece.

Liu Shile didn't even look at him, but simply said, "Oh, then we'll be going now."

After saying that, she winked at her second brother. As for whether the others left or not, that was none of her business.

However, Liu Shihua was still somewhat conscientious, and she called out to the others as she left.

Upon seeing this, the old man was both amused and exasperated.

"Alright, Lihua, you can all leave."

Once the old man gave the order, those who didn't want to leave had to leave, like Qin Youming.

"Lihua, what do you want to talk to me about?"

This kid, although he used to be quite bold, has never actually talked to me about anything privately.

Seeing her grandfather's smiling face, Qin Lihua hardened her heart and said directly, "I want to break off the engagement with the Shu family."

The old man merely frowned upon hearing this. "Tell me the reason?"

He wasn't as angry as Qin Lihua had imagined, and he didn't yell at her.

Qin Lihua didn't hide anything and explained the situation in a very organized manner.

"My cousin came to my rescue at the time, that's all."

When Qin Lihua talked about how her cousin helped her solve the problem, she had a particularly happy smile on her face.

It's clear that she genuinely likes her cousin.

Of course, in the old man's view, the child might also be enjoying the feeling of being protected by his family.
