My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 483 - 493: The Grandson’s Wife?
Sometimes, what you fear really does come true. As soon as Shi Yi stepped through the mansion’s front door, she saw a dark figure rushing toward them.
Seeing the German Shepherd, Shi Yi’s first reaction was to run. Last time, she had almost become this dog’s meal. This time, she didn’t want to be torn apart by it again.
But her legs seemed to be nailed to the ground; she couldn’t move an inch. The German Shepherd, as if bearing a grudge from a past life, didn’t run to its owner like other dogs but instead fixated on Shi Yi by Feng Chengyu’s side.
This German Shepherd raised by Feng Chengyu was larger than average, perhaps due to its fondness for raw meat or due to special training, making it more aggressive and bloodthirsty than typical German Shepherds.
Its sharp eyes locked onto Shi Yi, and its fangs glinted bloodthirstily in the sunlight, reminding Shi Yi of everything she had endured four years ago.
Seeing the German Shepherd about to pounce on her, Shi Yi closed her eyes in terror, but the pain she anticipated never came; instead, she heard Feng Chengyu’s cold command.
"Lucifer, back off!"
Shi Yi opened her eyes, trembling, and saw the German Shepherd obediently retreat upon hearing the command. She always knew that although German Shepherds were fierce, they were exceptionally loyal to their owners. Seeing it with her own eyes still surprised her.
Silently following the man to the mansion’s grand hall, this was Shi Yi’s first time walking upright into this place. The living room style leaned towards Japanese, minimalistic yet elegant. Shi Yi always adored this style, never imagining that the man had such good taste.
"Is there something you need to tell me now?" Shi Yi didn’t want to linger here. Although the danger had passed, she still felt uncomfortable.
Shi Yi wanted to get straight to the point, but Chu Yan suddenly interrupted, "Sir, lunch is ready for you."
"Hmm, I know." The man got up and walked towards the dining room but stopped after a few steps, turning to look at Shi Yi, "Join me?"
"No, I’m not hungry." Shi Yi had no desire to dine with Feng Chengyu.
Let alone their unfamiliarity, Feng Chengyu’s cold aura alone was enough to kill her appetite. She’d rather eat later but not with him.
The man didn’t insist, coolly replying, "Suit yourself."
Chu Yan wanted to persuade Shi Yi, but with the boss around, she dared not speak. The lesson from four years ago about acting on her own still haunted her; she feared her boss from the bottom of her heart.
Usually, no matter who it was, dining added a touch of warmth, but with Feng Chengyu, the atmosphere remained so tense that no one dared approach.
Chu Yan somewhat understood why Shi Yi would refuse to eat with her boss. If it were her, she wouldn’t want to either; she couldn’t imagine dining with an ice block.
"Has the old lady’s meal been sent up?" Feng Chengyu asked.
Chu Yan froze, then quickly replied, "Yes, boss. I sent it up before you returned."
The man continued eating calmly after hearing this, slicing a piece of steak and bringing it to his mouth. Though Feng Chengyu was intimidating, Chu Yan had to admit, in terms of looks and demeanor, he was first-rate. She had never seen such a handsome man in her life, except for the idol "Ouyang Hao."
Nevertheless, even so, her boss and Ouyang Hao were neck-and-neck in terms of appearance. Although she preferred Ouyang Hao, he was more approachable, unlike the terrifying boss.
Shi Yi thought Feng Chengyu would take just ten or twenty minutes to eat, but who knew the man would dawdle over his meal. She waited for over half an hour and he still hadn’t come out of the dining room.
Bored, Shi Yi began fiddling with her fingers. This small habit had once been mocked by Shen Xu, who joked that a CEO like her shouldn’t have such a rough habit.
Is it really a bad habit?
Shi Yi didn’t think so, but cracking her knuckles wasn’t a good practice either. It was said that doing it often could enlarge the joints, making fingers look ugly.
As she nearly finished cracking all her knuckles, Feng Chengyu still hadn’t come out. Impatient, Shi Yi stood up to see for herself, but the elevator door in the grand hall suddenly opened, and an elderly lady with white hair emerged.
The old lady seemed about eighty or ninety, and due to her age, moved slowly with a cane, shuffling step by step into the living room.
Shi Yi frowned but then remembered that this might be the grandmother Chu Yan mentioned. She was contemplating whether to greet the old lady when the old lady came over and warmly grabbed her hand.
"My dear granddaughter-in-law, no need to be polite, have a seat!"
The old lady’s words stunned Shi Yi. What did the old lady just call her, "granddaughter-in-law"?
This...
Shi Yi’s lips twitched uncontrollably, at a loss for how to respond. After a long moment, she found her voice and awkwardly said, "Madam, you’ve misunderstood, I’m not..."
"How could you not be? Xiao Yu has never brought any other woman home before. I know you’re shy and embarrassed to speak, that’s fine, Grandma understands!"
The old lady held onto Shi Yi’s hand, her eyes almost squinting with joy. But inside, Shi Yi felt bitter. How did a simple visit with Feng Chengyu turn into the old lady mistaking her for his fiancée?
Just then, Feng Chengyu finished his meal and came out of the dining room. Shi Yi cast a pleading glance at him, hoping he would clarify and prevent further misunderstanding.
Feng Chengyu seemed to understand Shi Yi’s silent plea, striding forward to the two of them. Shi Yi felt a surge of hope; this was one time he could be helpful.
However, she might have been too optimistic. The man took a step closer and, just as she was beginning to feel relieved, he suddenly reached out with a long arm, pulling her firmly into his embrace.
"Grandma, I brought your future granddaughter-in-law to see you."
