The moment he saw the video, Shen Yi had to listen to the content several times before he was sure he hadn't misheard or misseen.
In the video, Ji Beichuan spoke sincerely. Instead of feeling happy, Shen Yi even felt like punching someone. He never thought that Ji Beichuan, who looked so decent, had such a scheme in mind.
Watching the video, Shen Yi paced back and forth. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and he couldn't find an outlet for his anger.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Filled with anger, Shen Yi stormed over to open it. To his surprise, it was Ji Beichuan standing there.
In the past, Shen Yi would have greeted Ji Beichuan with a big smile. But now, not only was he not happy to see Ji Beichuan, he didn't even give him a good look. He even blocked the doorway without any intention of letting Ji Beichuan in.
"Uncle Shen, can I have a private chat with you?" Before coming, Ji Beichuan had already prepared himself mentally. But when he saw Shen Yi, he still couldn't help feeling a bit nervous.
Even though he was used to dealing with shrewd businessmen in the business world, meeting his girlfriend's father was a different story, especially since his girlfriend was still quite young.
"No, I'm busy. Leave now." Without hesitation, Shen Yi flat - out refused. Knowing that Ji Beichuan had designs on his daughter, he naturally didn't want to talk to him.
After saying that, Shen Yi quickly closed the door, rarely disregarding his own self - restraint.
Ji Beichuan didn't expect to be shut out like this. But he wasn't discouraged and continued to wait outside the door.
Behind the door, Shen Yi peeked through the peephole several times. Seeing Ji Beichuan still waiting there, his expression softened a bit.
To be honest, Ji Beichuan was a good match in every aspect. But thinking that his little daughter had caught someone's eye, Shen Yi still felt a bit uncomfortable.
He paced around the dining room, torn about whether he should open the door or not.
While Shen Yi was still hesitating, there was another knock on the door. As if finding an excuse, he rushed over and quickly opened it. "Leave now. There's nothing to talk about!"
Without thinking, Shen Yi blurted out. To avoid showing his lack of confidence, he didn't even look at Ji Beichuan, so he didn't notice that the atmosphere at the door was a bit strange.
After waiting for a while, Ji Beichuan didn't say a word. It wasn't like his usual style. Thinking that he was in the right, Shen Yi finally looked up at Ji Beichuan, determined not to lose his nerve.
When he looked up, Shen Yi finally noticed something was wrong. Why was there suddenly another person at the door? And this person was Shen Nanyi.
Coming home happily, Shen Nanyi never expected to encounter such an awkward situation. Who could tell her what was going on? Her father used to like Ji Beichuan so much. What was going on today?
Who could tell her what had happened during her time at the film studio? Was she out of touch again?
At this moment, Shen Nanyi wished she could disappear on the spot. She always felt that the atmosphere was a bit off.
Shen Yi's mood was no better than Shen Nanyi's. He was even more embarrassed. He couldn't believe his daughter had seen his rude side. Oh no, all he could think about was how to make up for it.
The three people at the door stood there like a triangle. No one took the initiative to break the silence, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
The current situation was completely unexpected for Ji Beichuan. In desperation, he decided to take the initiative: "Uncle, I need to talk to you. Is it convenient for a private chat?"
Under great pressure, Ji Beichuan spoke. He couldn't help but feel nervous when he was speaking. He had never been this nervous even when dealing with business veterans.
Shen Yi glared at Ji Beichuan. After thinking for a few seconds, he finally didn't reject Ji Beichuan. With his daughter here, he had to behave properly. "Sure. What are you standing at the door for? Come in and talk."
After making up his mind, Shen Yi softened his tone and gave Ji Beichuan a smiling face. But that smile made Ji Beichuan feel uneasy.
Obviously, Ji Beichuan had no chance to refuse. He could only follow Shen Yi in. At least on the surface, the two of them seemed quite harmonious.
Watching the two of them walk in side by side, Shen Nanyi always felt something was off but couldn't put her finger on it.
Standing at the door, Shen Nanyi couldn't figure it out. She even felt a bit stupid standing there, so she decided to stop thinking about it.
Anyway, the two of them wouldn't fight. She had more important things to do. She had gotten the tickets for Shen Ye's concert, and she had to pick a time with Ling Xiaoxiao. Time was running out.
Shen Nanyi had no idea what Ji Beichuan and her father had talked about. When she came out of her room, Ji Beichuan had already left. Only Shen Yi was in the living room, looking quite happy.
Seizing the opportunity, Shen Nanyi proposed that she wanted to go to Singapore to watch Shen Ye's concert. She repeatedly promised that she wouldn't neglect her studies. More importantly, she said she also wanted to visit some famous middle schools in Singapore, as Shen Rui had finally found her an exchange opportunity.
To go to Singapore, Shen Nanyi had prepared well in every aspect. Shen Yi had no reason to refuse.
Even though Shen Ye was a bit unreliable, he was still Shen Nanyi's elder, and he would surely take good care of her. More importantly, they could always count on Shen Nanyi to handle things properly.
On the plane, looking at the clouds outside the window, Shen Nanyi finally felt a bit more at ease.
Ling Xiaoxiao beside her was even more excited. Just thinking about seeing Shen Ye's concert soon made her happy. That's how simple a little fan's mind was.
Thinking that there would be a tough battle waiting for her in Singapore, Shen Nanyi closed her eyes and leaned back on the chair to rest, trying to gather her strength. She didn't even notice that the person sitting diagonally across from her looked a bit familiar. It was Jiang Yiyuan.
"The side mission has started. Please spend one million on the plane within half an hour." Just as Shen Nanyi closed her eyes, the system's voice suddenly popped up. Shen Nanyi got a shock and instantly woke up.
After confirming with the system several times, Shen Nanyi was sure she hadn't misheard. It was really about spending money on the plane.
For safety reasons, there was no signal on the plane. It was impossible to shop online or make a phone call. How to spend money had become a very tricky problem.
It would take at least two hours to fly from City A to Singapore, and it was impossible to land earlier. It seemed that the situation had reached a dead end.
After thinking for a long time, Shen Nanyi suddenly remembered a scene from a TV drama. She quickly sat up from her seat and called the flight attendant. This was the only thing she could try now. She hoped that what was shown in the TV drama actually existed.
Hearing the bell, the flight attendant quickly walked over. At this moment, the flight attendant had no idea what kind of storm she was about to face.
