The daughter of a general is so cool in the novel about a wealthy family

Shi Xiao frowned, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his dark eyes.

"You said you didn't know Jiang Chen."

"But he is Mu Zhou." Yuan Shu retorted subconsciously, but when she saw Shi Xiao's gaze, she suddenly stopped.

After Yuan Shu came back to his senses, he explained: "I can only assure you that before yesterday, I had no relationship with Jiang Chen, and I did not help him deal with the Shi Group."

Shi Xiao grasped the key point and sneered, "So what you mean is that after today, you and Jiang Chen will have nothing to do with each other?"

Yuan Shu was speechless, that was not what she meant.

The two of them were in awkward silence. Shi Xiao wanted an explanation, but Yuan Shu didn't know how to explain. For a moment, they both fell into deathly silence.

Shi Xiao compromised and said, "Are you going to see him in three days?"

After asking this question, Shi Xiao suddenly felt defeated. Asking this question was like admitting defeat, showing his vulnerability in front of Shi Xiao. Shi Xiao smiled bitterly. He had been cold and unyielding for so many years, but he actually admitted defeat in front of Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu's next words made Shi Xiao's mood fall to the lowest point.

She was still very weak, so her voice was very soft, but her tone was firm: "Yes."

Shi Xiao remembered what Yuan Shu said before she left last night. She was a woman of her word, unless he didn't believe her.

Are the two of them really so close that they trust each other so much?

Shi Xiao had to admit that for a moment, he was indeed a little jealous. He even wanted to order Yuan Shu not to go, but he quickly realized that he had no right to say that.

Yuan Shu continued: "Shi Xiao, I want to move out."

"Why?" Shi Xiao blurted out, but then he felt something was wrong, and added coldly, as if he was discussing business, "Don't forget, you are still pretending to be my wife. If you move out, won't people outside gossip about us?"

Yuan Shu felt very tired, "I'm sorry, but I want to be alone for the next few days. I'm very confused and need to sort out my thoughts."

Shi Xiao taunted, "So you want me to give you three days to think about it?"

Yuan Shu didn't realize that Shi Xiao was imitating what she said last night, and even replied seriously: "It should be possible."

"Yuan Shu!" Shi Xiao gritted his teeth and said angrily, but seeing Yuan Shu's indifferent expression, he finally gave up communicating with this woman.

Yuan Shu manages the company and is good at handling interpersonal relationships, but when it comes to relationships, she is an idiot!

Shi Xiao said helplessly: "Do you want me to find you a house, or do you want to go back to the ancestral home?"

"I'm going back to my ancestral home, so don't bother me."

Yuan Shu had already stood up and packed her things to leave, but Shi Xiao suddenly stopped her and said, "Don't forget, you promised to come back."

Yuan Shu didn’t know what Shi Xiao was worried about, so he agreed calmly and went to pack up.

Yuan Shu suddenly recalled the past, which indeed made her feel a little complicated. If she were still in that dynasty, Yuan Shu would definitely reject Mu Zhou without hesitation, but now it is different. Everyone is a free person, without political constraints or family constraints. She doesn't need to worry so much.

She still remembered what her mother said to her the night before she died, "You are the glory of our family. If you are prosperous, the family will be prosperous. If you are in trouble, the family will decline. Everything about you is related to this family. I am sorry to give birth to you in such a family, but I have tried my best to let you live freely for fifteen years. As for the rest of your life, you can only use it to repay this family."

From that day on, Yuan Shu had to consider those restrictions.

But there are no such restrictions in this era, so Yuan Shu wants to see what she really wants.

The only thing she could admit was that she had feelings for Mu Zhou. So, for her, was love free from family constraints more important, or was maintaining the status quo more important?

Yuan Shu thought about this problem for three days but still couldn't figure it out. She was carefree for the first fifteen years of her life, but lived in shackles for the next few decades. These shackles had become a part of her body and could not be gotten rid of overnight.

It was time to meet Mu Zhou, and Yuan Shu didn't think much about it. When he arrived at the tea room, Jiang Chen was already waiting there.

Jiang Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Yuan Shu. Obviously, he was not sure that Yuan Shu would come. He even thought that if Yuan Shu really didn't come today, he would go to Shi's house to find Yuan Shu no matter what.

He has been planning this for so long, and today he must explain everything clearly.

Jiang Chen made a cup of top-quality silver needle tea for Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu looked at the light green tea in a daze.

She remembered that when she was in the military camp before she was 15 years old, she didn't like drinking tea. She felt that tea leaves were bitter and astringent, not as refreshing as wine, and made her dizzy after drinking them.

Later, she became a princess and drinking tea became her habit.

Again she wondered if habit and preference were the same thing.

"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Chen's voice brought her back to reality.

Yuan Shu did not answer, but asked: "When did you like to drink tea?"

Yuan Shu and Mu Zhou are the same kind of people. Before the age of fifteen, they grew up carefree. After the age of fifteen, whether forced or voluntary, they walked the same path.

Drinking tea is only part of the journey.

Yuan Shu took a sip of tea. Jiang Chen was very particular about the water quality, temperature, and brewing method. The tea he brewed was exactly the same as the one Yuan Shu brewed.

Jiang Chen also picked up the teacup and drank tea in the same posture as Yuan Shu. "After I gained the emperor's trust, the emperor allowed me to enter and leave the palace at will. I heard from the servants in the palace that you liked to drink Baiyinzhen the most, so I learned to make tea with mountain spring water, but you never came to the palace again."

The aroma of tea filled his mouth. Yuan Shu looked at the person in front of him. It was still that familiar face, but he could no longer see the boy's former pride and arrogance.

Moreover, Yuan Shu was not quite used to this kind of modern attire.

Yuan Shu stopped talking about this topic and started talking about business. "Tell me, what did you do?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Since you are so smart, why don't you take a guess?"

Yuan Shu said: "Let me think about it. From what I know about you, you were the one who brought me into this world, right? Then you met me as Mu Zhou and acted in "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix".

Yuan Shu recalled the melodious song again. She only knew that Mu Zhou was smart before, but she never expected that Mu Zhou had such a talent in playing the zither.

To learn piano, one must start from childhood. If one wants to play the piano well, it will take at least ten years, provided that one has time to practice every day.

Mu Zhou started learning the zither after he became the top scholar in liberal arts. He had to attend court every day, so it was amazing that he could play so well.

Perhaps because he had recovered his memory, Yuan Shu had been in a trance recently.

She came back to her senses and continued, "So, it was also your idea to let the original Yuan Shu marry Shi Xiao?"

Jiang Chen said, "No, it was only after I came here and saw your photo that I realized that there really is someone in this world who looks exactly like you and has the same name as you. I thought, since I can come to this world, I can definitely bring you here with me."

Yuan Shu sighed, "After so many years, you still haven't let it go?"

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly, "It is true that many years have passed. If I hadn't discovered the origin of this world, I wouldn't have known that my obsession had not disappeared for so many years. It's just that I hid it very well. I avoided you before because I didn't want to see you. You had forgotten me a long time ago."

"But I didn't expect that after coming to this world, the influence of the Forgotten River Water still hasn't disappeared. You still didn't remember me, even when I appeared in front of you again as Mu Zhou, even when I played your favorite song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", you still didn't remember me."

Jiang Chen poured out the water for making tea and added another pot of hot water. Steam rose between the two of them.

"You are so heartless, have you ever thought about my feelings?"

Yuan Shu sighed, "Mu Zhou, you are too obsessed. In order to make me remember, you even filmed a TV series. Is it really worth it?"

"It's worth it!" Jiang Chen said excitedly, "As long as you can remember our past, everything is worth it... Your father forced you to drink the water of the Forgotten River, and you forgot about me. As long as you remember me again, we can be together!"

Yuan Shu was stunned, and looked at him with sadness in his eyes, "Mu Zhou, actually, my father didn't force me. I drank the water of Wangchuan voluntarily. I wanted to forget you."
