Chapter 708 Shao Xue’s Wedding
After Luo Xi’s grandfather sat down, Shao Tianze poured tea for him in person.
To show courtesy and respect, Luo Xi also poured tea for Shao Tianze under the sign of his grandfather.
In the communication between the two families, etiquette was important.
After some polite words, the three of them finally changed the topic to Shao Xue.
Luo Xi couldn’t bear it first and asked Shao Tianze, “President Shao, isn’t Xue at home?”
Hearing the intimate addressing, Shao Tianze laughed, “She is playing with my daughter in the room upstairs. Maybe she is shy, so she doesn’t come downstairs.”
Hearing Shao Tianze’s words, Luo Xi smiled and put on a shy face.
The elder always understood his grandson’s thoughts very well. Hearing Shao Tianze’s words, Luo Jiachi said, “We will talk about important things. Let Luo Xi go to see Miss Shao.”
Hearing Luo Xi’s grandfather’s words, Shao Tianze agreed and said, “That’s right. They are young people after all.”
Luo Xi’s grandfather smiled at Shao Tianze’s words.
Shao Tianze called the housekeeper and asked her to take Luo Xi upstairs to see Shao Xue.
Shao Xue had heard the voice early and quietly watched the situation downstairs. She was also surprised when she saw that Luo Xi and his grandfather came in person.
There had been something wrong with Shao Tianze last night.
Now she considered carefully and believed that Shao Tianze was anxious because the elder master of the Luo Family did not respond on time.
Now that Luo Jiachi personally brought Luo Xi to visit, Shao Tianze should feel relieved.
Thinking of it, Shao Xue also felt a little more stable.
If the Luo Family had suddenly pulled back and refused to marry her, she would have had no future in the Shao Family.
As long as the Luo Family was willing to marry her, she was about to live in Harbor City and to be the nominal Mrs. Luo for three years. It would be much better than marrying a man chosen by Shao Tianze casually.
Luo Xi followed the housekeeper to the door of the room where Shao Xue and Miaomiao were playing.
The housekeeper knocked gently on the door. Then, Shao Xue’s voice came from inside, “What’s up?”
The housekeeper said, “Miss Shao, Mr. Luo is here.”
Hearing this, Shao Xue opened the door.
The housekeeper was smart. She left after Shao Xue opened the door.
Shao Xue saw that there was no one in the corridor outside the door except Luo Xi. Then, she reached out and pulled Luo Xi into the room.
After Luo Xi entered, Shao Xue closed the door.
“Why are you here today?” Shao Xue asked Luo Xi.
Miaomiao looked at Luo Xi curiously as she was sitting on the sofa and fixing her doll’s hair.
Luo Xi was sensitive. After feeling that he was being watched, he turned to find the one who was looking at him.
He quickly saw Miaomiao sitting on the sofa.
Miaomiao blinked her big eyes.
Shao Xue saw that Luo Xi was looking at Miaomiao, so she made the introduction, “Gu Miaomiao, the daughter of Shao Tianze and Gu Changge.”
The Luo Family hated Shao Tianze.
However, they did not hate Gu Changge.
When hearing that Shao Xue introduced the child as Gu Miaomiao, not Shao Miaomiao, Luo Xi instantly became a little friendly to this child.
Miaomiao didn’t seem to understand that Luo Xi’s expression changed from cold to warmth. She frowned, and her big watery eyes were so adorable.
When Shao Xue saw Miaomiao and Luo Xi looking at each other, she couldn’t help but let out a low laugh. She asked Luo Xi, “Do you like this kid very much?”
Luo Xi did not directly answer but said, “Not bad.”
What he said actually meant that he liked the child very much.
After all, Miaomiao was the most pleasing of all the little girls he had ever seen.
As he was looking at Miaomiao, Luo Xi suddenly felt curious, “Who does she look more like?”
Shao Xue didn’t quite understand Luo Xi’s meaning and looked at Luo Xi with some doubts.
Seeing Shao Xue’s confusion, Luo Xi said, “I mean, since she’s Shao Tianze and Gu Changge’s daughter, is she more similar to her father or her mother?”
“She looks more similar to her mother.”
Hearing what Shao Xue said, he became interested in this kid and walked towards her.
Miaomiao was not afraid of the stranger, and she just looked at Luo Xi.
Luo Xi stretched out his hands and bent over, wanting to hug Miaomiao.
Miaomiao hugged the doll in her arms and twisted.
Luo Xi was a little embarra.s.sed.
Shao Xue couldn’t help laughing when she saw Luo Xi and Miaomiao’s interaction.
These two people were really interesting.
Luo Xi wanted to hug Miaomiao, but she thought he was going to s.n.a.t.c.h her doll. Therefore, she immediately turned to protect her doll.
Shao Xue asked Luo Xi, “Do you think this kid is cute?”
“Yes.”
Luo Xi said so frankly that he thought this child was cute, which made Shao Xue feel a little bit surprised.
After this, Luo Xi said again, “What a pity.”
Shao Xue did not understand Luo Xi’s words.
She was confused, “Why is it a pity?”
Luo Xi did not answer her.
He just retracted his hands, stopping trying to hug Miaomiao.
Shao Xue and Luo Xi had something to discuss, so Shao Xue asked Miaomiao to go a little farther to play.
When he saw the child walk a little farther to play, Luo Xi said, “Since this child looks a lot like Gu Changge, Shao Tianze must hate her very much.”
Shao Xue shook her head, answering, “No.”
“No?” Luo Xi was puzzled.
He heard his grandfather said that Gu Changge’s death had a lot to do with Shao Tianze.
His grandfather seemed to suspect that Shao Tianze killed Gu Changge, which caused Gu Changge to die before her time.
Shao Tianze was able to brutally kill his wife.
The daughter, who looked a lot like Gu Changge, should not be liked by her father naturally.
Why didn’t Shao Tianze hate this child?
Luo Xi didn’t understand the reason.
Shao Xue didn’t know it, either. She said, “I don’t know why Shao Tianze doesn’t hate this child. However, Gu Changle hates her very much.”
“Will you protect her?”
Luo Xi asked her.
Shao Xue nodded.
“But if you get married and live in Harbor City, you won’t be able to protect this child.”
Shao Xue had considered what Luo Xi said.
The biggest reason she stayed in the Shao Family was to protect Miaomiao, preventing her from being hurt by Shao Tianze and Gu Changle.
But now she even could not protect herself.
She could only leave the Shao Family and found ways to marry Luo Xi.
After Shao Xue went to the Luo Family, no one would protect Miaomiao attentively. According to Gu Changle’s viciousness, she would definitely hurt Miaomiao.
However, by then, only Shao Tianze could protect Miaomiao.
Shao Xue frowned.
After Luo Xi said this, he considered for a while and said again, “You said that Shao Tianze did not hate this kid. After you leave the Shao Family, Shao Tianze should not abuse her. He will take good care of her.”
Shao Xue pursed her lips and said in a low voice, “I hope so.”
Since she was leaving the Shao Family, there was no way to take care of Miaomiao.
What should Miaomiao do in the future in such a dangerous environment with no one to protect her?
Thinking of this, Shao Xue couldn’t help frowning.
Seeing Shao Xue frowning, Luo Xi said, “Can we take this child to Harbor City to raise?”
Shao Xue had thought about the same idea.
However, Gu Yi was in Harbor City now. Shao Tianze had sent Gu Yi to Harbor City to separate the two children. It would not be allowed that they wanted to take Miaomiao to Harbor City.
“I don’t think my brother will agree.”
Shao Xue twisted her eyebrows.
Hearing Shao Xue’s words, Luo Xi sighed lightly, “We will take it one step at a time and see how far we can get.”
Shao Xue nodded.
Now, it could only be like this.
She had no way to change Shao Tianze’s mind. The only way to protect Miaomiao was to trouble Song Yunxuan after she left Yuncheng.
Since she had been suspected by Shao Tianze and Gu Changle, what she said and what she wanted to strive for would not fall in her wishes.
She could only pin her hopes on others.
In the room, both Shao Xue and Luo Xi looked at Miaomiao and were lost in thought.
Meanwhile, Luo Jiachi and Shao Tianze were talking happily in the living room.
During the conversation, Luo Jiachi expressed his favor to Shao Tianze very clearly. After sounding out several times, Shao Tianze was sure that it was a good choice to cooperate with the Luo Family through marriage.
As he was thinking, Shao Tianze said, “Mr. Luo, I wonder when you plan to set the wedding ceremony of Luo Xi and Shao Xue.”
He had decided to marry his younger sister to the Luo Family.
And the Luo Family was also willing to ally through the wedding. It was best to settle the marriage as early as possible.
Luo Jiachi thought for a while and said, “Getting married is a big deal. After I return to Harbor City, I will find a fortune teller to pick a good day.”
Many people in Harbor City had superst.i.tious beliefs.
For big events like marriage, people must choose a good day.
Shao Tianze was not in a hurry. This time Luo Jiachi personally visited the Shao Family, which showed that the marriage would not be broken.
Since Luo Jiachi wanted to choose a good day, Shao Tianze would let him choose it.
After speaking his own opinions, Luo Jiachi also asked Shao Tianze’s idea.
“It will take me some time to choose the date. Mr. Shao, when do you think is a good day?”
Being asked, Shao Tianze smiled and said, “Mr. Luo, you are more adept at these. I’ll listen to you.”
Luo Jiachi nodded, “Now that you agreed, I will pick a good day after I go back to Harbor City.”
Shao Tianze smiled, “Great.”
Luo Jiachi also smiled with satisfaction.
They both had their own plans in their hearts, but they didn’t show up during the conversation.
Luo Jiachi felt a lot more relaxed after he settled the matter.
Next, they only needed to prepare for the wedding.
They did not need to worry about anything else.
