CHAPTER 95: CHAPTER 95: YUAN SHOUGUI: I STILL WANT TO GIVE IT A TRY

"A solution?"

Seeing Yuan Shougui with a genuinely curious look, Sheng Xueyi, who had already developed the intention to kill Yuan Bao, suddenly changed her mind. Perhaps she could find another way to resolve the problem.

The little girl of the Yuan Family was just over a year old. Although she was clever and well-behaved, she was, after all, just a kid.

Previously, the people of the Yuan Family had left her behind in the village, which showed that her status as the family’s darling wasn’t truly deserved.

"Xue’er, have you thought of a way?"

Yuan Shougui looked at Sheng Xueyi, who had been deep in thought for quite a while, and couldn’t help but ask.

Sheng Xueyi was startled by Yuan Shougui’s voice and quickly said, "Yuan, I need to think this through carefully."

"How about this, you go back first, and in a couple of days, you can come again, okay?"

"Alright."

Hearing that Sheng Xueyi asked him to come back in a couple of days, Yuan Shougui thought to himself, this is perfect.

After leaving the Sheng Family Manor, Yuan Shougui did not directly return to Shiqu Village but took a long detour, returning to the village from another direction.

And when he returned to the village, he ran into Yuan Shoucheng and a few others from the village running around crazily with a group of children.

The gang noticed Yuan Shougui and all rushed over, wanting to drag him to play with them.

However, the wound on Yuan Shougui’s butt was aching.

How could he have the mood to play outside? Feeling that he had made progress with Sheng Xueyi, he eagerly wanted to go back and talk to his mother, to discuss what to do next.

...

Yuan Shougui happily rushed home, and although he was limping, it did not affect his speed at all.

"Stop right there!"

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Yuan Shougui was stopped by his father, Yuan Pandi.

"Dad...?!"

At the sight of his father, Yuan Shougui shivered.

"So you’re not listening to me anymore, are you?"

Though Yuan Pandi was furious, he also understood that unless this son changed his mind willingly, he would have to either beat him to death or simply lock him at home. Otherwise, how could he possibly stop him from meeting Sheng Xueyi?

"Dad, I did not disobey!"

Yuan Shougui could tell that his father was very angry. This kind of anger was more severe than if Yuan Pandi had directly whipped him with a stick.

"Then promise me, you won’t go looking for that Miss Sheng anymore!"

Yuan Pandi looked at his eldest son, speaking very slowly.

This was his son, his very own son whom he had watched grow up, and unless there was absolutely no other choice, Yuan Pandi did not want to give up on this son.

"Dad, why?"

Yuan Shougui raised his head and stubbornly looked at his father.

"We are not a match for them!"

"The father of Miss Sheng would never just watch his daughter marry into a family like ours!"

"If you keep pursuing that young lady, you’re dragging our entire family to gamble our lives with you!"

"We cannot afford to gamble!"

Yuan Pandi spoke earnestly while looking at his eldest son, "My son, we are people of a completely different level from that young lady. I know you are unwilling!"

"It’s all because your dad is useless!"

"But I’m not trying to scare you."

"Once the Sheng Family knows your intentions, they won’t even bother to speak with us."

"All it takes is one word from them, and our entire family is done for!"

"Your second uncle and third uncle are now in the military, having accumulated a small amount of merit, which seems significant to ordinary people. But in their eyes, they don’t even need to lift a finger to crush us!"

"Dad!"

Yuan Shougui suddenly kneeled on the ground, "What you say is all speculation."

"I just love Xue’er!"

"She’s already lost her mother and been disliked by her father, and I still want to give it a try!"
