Xiong Kaishuo had just touched her hand when he suddenly collided with Shi Mei’s gaze.
Shi Mei’s deep eyes held a faint smile, but they were filled with innumerable hints of menace.
Xiong Kaishuo’s heart felt as if it was struck by something, an intense feeling that forcibly pushed back much of his overflowing lust.
A chill surged up from his spine, causing one to shudder involuntarily!
How could it possibly belong to a fool?
Xiong Kaishuo’s face changed, and he was about to say something when suddenly, a ringtone interrupted him.
The ringing was coming from Shi Mei’s pocket.
Shi Mei gave a ’huh’, tilted her head innocently, and reached into her pocket.
Her demeanor was still that of a foolish, naive person.
Where was there any sign of regained sanity?
Xiong Kaishuo was bewildered for a moment.
Then, he saw that what Shi Mei had pulled out was the latest model of a certain brand?
Shi Mei’s family was not well-off; she often struggled to pay her school fees, so how could she afford such an expensive phone?
"Hello, Grandpa!" Shi Mei chirped as she answered Elder Shi’s video call, her voice sweet as if dripping with honey.
Hearing Shi Mei’s sweet voice revived Xiong Kaishuo’s inappropriate intentions, heating his body.
There were no surveillance cameras here.
Miss Bai had specifically provided him with this opportunity; even if he did something to her, no one would know.
Think about it, who would believe a fool?
Besides, he had Miss Bai’s support; he didn’t need to worry about the consequences.
Opportunities shouldn’t be missed!
Just as he thought this, a phone was suddenly thrust in front of him.
Xiong Kaishuo was startled.
Shi Mei’s voice, soft and tender, said, "Grandpa, this is the teacher Sister Bai found for Shi Mei, Shi Mei can play the piano now!"
Xiong Kaishuo clearly saw on the screen an elder who looked to be in his sixties.
His face was kind, his spirit bright.
But his eyes hid an undeniable sharpness and shrewdness.
One look was enough to tell that this old man was extraordinary in his youth.
Xiong Kaishuo forced a smile and said, "Hello, I’m Shi Mei’s classmate, my surname is Xiong."
Elder Shi nodded, his hand gripping a dragon-headed cane, exuding authority without anger.
His aged voice calmly asked, "Did Yuejie ask you to teach our Shi Mei piano?"
Just one sentence, and Xiong Kaishuo’s palms were already sweating.
The old man’s gaze was too penetrating, as if he could see right through his heart.
Xiong Kaishuo tried to appear more composed and nodded, "Yes."
"Since you are Shi Mei’s classmate, we entrust her to you, hoping you will take good care of our Shi Mei. Although she’s different from before, she is still our treasure."
Xiong Kaishuo: "I’m sorry, I’ve been Shi Mei’s classmate for three years and never heard her mention having a grandpa; may I know who you are..."
"I am from her husband’s family," Elder Shi introduced himself, "I am Shi Lin."
"Shi Lin?" Xiong Kaishuo felt the name sounded familiar, as if he had heard it from elders before, but another name surfaced in his mind, "Then, Ling Yan..."
Xiong Kaishuo’s face turned pale.
The old man remained composed, "Then I entrust her to you, I will have the driver pick her up later, please send me the address."
Xiong Kaishuo hurriedly nodded in agreement.
After Elder Shi hung up the call, Xiong Kaishuo realized he had broken out in a cold sweat unknowingly; his clothes were completely soaked!
This Bai Yuejie, she was after his life!
How could he possibly provoke such a person??
But he was not willing to let it go, was he just supposed to let Shi Mei go?
