Chapter 47: Not Taking Her Husband’s Surname
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Ci had originally expected Yuan Shu to take the opportunity to raise some requests, but he didn’t expect her to be so honest. She didn’t seem to have any intention of currying favor with the rich and powerful at all, making Li Ci seem a little petty in comparison.
Li Ci was someone who had been in the business world before. Since Yuan Shu had helped him, he had to repay her. Hence, he said, “No matter what, 1 have to thank you for this time. My Li family won’t owe others a favor for nothing. We will definitely help deal with Yuan An’s matter.”
He was on good terms with the eldest son of the Shi family, so after Yuan An’s accident, he asked Secretary Zhao to deal with this matter. Although he had a good chat with Yuan Shu that day, he still felt that this was just lip service.
When he mentioned that he would deal with Yuan An’s matter, he was certain that Yuan Shu couldn’t handle this matter.
The corners of Yuan Shu’s mouth twitched slightly. “I’ve already resolved Yuan An’s matter, so there’s no need to trouble you, Mr. Li.”
Li Ci was stunned. He didn’t expect her to solve this problem in just a few days. It seemed that he had really underestimated this woman previously when he thought that she was just a scheming heiress of a rich family. Now, it seemed that she really had some skills. From her aura, she really resembled the eldest son of the Shi family.
Yuan Shu raised her chin and looked at Li Ci. “Mr. Li, I helped you today, but not as Shi Xiao’s wife. I hope you can understand this.”
“Oh really?” Li Ci looked at the woman in front of him. Her white dress was well-tailored and didn’t have many decorations. She was really as noble and dignified as a pearl.
He asked, “Mrs. Shi, what do you mean? What’s the difference between Yuan Shu and Mrs. Shi Xiao? They’re just identities.”
Yuan Shu crossed her hands on her abdomen and said, “I, Yuan Shu, am not a wife who lives in her husband’s shadow. I naturally have to have my own identity.”
Li Ci didn’t expect her to say such words. The Shi family was so rich that it wasn’t something a small family like the Yuan family could compare to. Yet, she actually declared sovereignty.
Li Ci didn’t dare to say that it was everyone. At least, none of the rich ladies at the cocktail party today dared to declare sovereignty from their husband’s families so confidently like her. He couldn’t help but feel a trace of admiration for Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu didn’t say anything else. After she bowed to Li Ci, she said in a dignified manner, “Mr. Li, please help yourself. I’ll excuse myself first.”
The three siblings of the Shi family followed Yuan Shu out of the hall. When the hall was blocked by the curtains woven with silver thread, the four of them finally had some peace.
The three of them had heard what Yuan Shu said to Li Ci just now, so now, the three of them had a lot to say.
Today was Shi Yi’s first time seeing the reborn Yuan Shu, so she didn’t have any affection for her, unlike her two brothers who had fear and respect for her. Therefore, she expressed her dissatisfaction directly.
“Yuan Shu! What did you mean by what you said just now? You put in so much effort to marry into my family, but now, you’re pretending to be noble and refuse to be called Madam Shi. You’re such a hypocrite.”
These words were harsh and unpleasant, so Shi Bin wanted to defend Yuan Shu. “Sister, don’t use such unpleasant words to talk about Sister-in-law… her.”
Although he was defending her, Shi Bin still felt very awkward about it. On the one hand, he refused to call Yuan Shu by her name, and on the other hand, he felt that he couldn’t embarrass himself by calling her sister-in-law in front of his brother and sister.
Shi Yi was even more shocked. When Yuan Shu married into the family, the three of them were very hostile to her. Why did their attitudes change so much in just a month after she went overseas?
She pinched Shi Bin’s arm fiercely. “What’s wrong with you?! It’s fine if you follow behind her like a tail, but now, you’re actually speaking up for her? Are you crazy?!”
Shi Bin frowned in pain. After not seeing her for a month, she seemed to have become even more ruthless! He didn’t dare to talk back to his sister, so he could only question Yuan Shu.
“Why did you help that woman just now?! You should have embarrassed her to the end..”
