Chapter 2566: Wants to Know Quite a Lot
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wasn’t Shi Xiaoya a readily available person right here?
Luo Qingxian then took Shi Xiaoya’s hand in a very affectionate manner. Shi Xiaoya’s mouth twitched and she said, “The weather is so hot right now, my hand will sweat very quickly.”
Shi Xiaoya pulled her hand out of Luo Qingxian’s hand and took out a tissue to wipe the sweat away. Then she took out a wet tissue to wipe her hand.
After that, she took out a hand cream and applied it to her hands.
As she had to put on makeup for other people and the skin on her hands was also very delicate, Shi Xiaoya treated her hands very seriously and with great care as well.
But when she did these series of movements, Luo Qingxian almost could not control her expressions.
Shi Xiaoya was clearly being disdainful of her!
Shi Xiaoya’s series of actions cut Luo Qingxian’s words off right then.
For a moment, Luo Qingxian did not even know how to continue saying what she had not managed to finish saying just then in a natural manner.
After pausing for a moment, Luo Qingxian could not care less anymore.
So she purposely pretended to be very friendly again and said, “Xiaoya, you… you and Young Master Ling have such a good relationship. You must be quite familiar with the people from the eight great families, right?”
Shi Xiaoya’s expression did not change, but she started having thoughts in her mind.
What? Did Luo Qingxian want her to introduce people from the eight great families to her?
Shi Xiaoya’s guess was half-correct.
Didn’t Luo Qingxian want to ask her about Wei Wucai?
Wasn’t Wei Wucai someone who belonged to the eight great families?
Shi Xiaoya smiled and said, “I just got together with Zhuoling, so I only know those in the eight great families who are married. There are so many people in the eight great families, I haven’t gotten to know all of them yet.
“And normally, those who are single don’t hang around with those who are married, because they think that it feels too horrible having to witness PDA. So after Zhuoling got together with me, he also quickly called those people who are married out. As for the people I know, I only know those who are married.”
Luo Qingxian felt like she could no longer keep up her smile.
What did Shi Xiaoya mean by this?
Was she showing off how good her relationship with Han Zhuoling was?
The people who got married in the eight great families, how many of them were there?
Wasn’t that Chu Zhaoyang and the others?
All of them were people who were at the helm in each of the eight great families.
Shi Xiaoya was also showing off to her that she did not know other people who were not important, that the people she knew and was familiar with were all the people at the top echelons of the eight great families.
She really relied on Han Zhuoling to fly to the skies and became a completely different person.
Even if Shi Xiaoya knew these people were two-faced, she would also never have expected that though she was just finding an excuse to avoid Luo Qingxian’s question, Luo Qingxian could actually come up with all these other assumptions on her own.
But was Luo Qingxian someone who gave up so easily?
If she were really so magnanimous, she would not have resorted to asking around about Wei Wucai after mocking him.
So, Luo Qingxian then said, “That’s fine too. Since you know people who are married, they will all be from the same household anyway. They would surely know each other. If not, they would definitely still know more than outsiders like us.”
Shi Xiaoya: “…”
What exactly did Luo Qingxian want to do?
Luo Qingxian was then heard saying, “Young Master Ling brought you to meet the people from the eight great families, so you would definitely know Wei Zhiqian, right?”
Shi Xiaoya did not say whether she knew him or not and just asked, “Why?”
“I just want to ask about his younger brother, Wei Wucai,” Luo Qingxian said. “What exactly does he do for work? I just know that he’s from Mount Lan Compound, but I don’t know what exactly he does. And does he have a girlfriend? Also, what is his relationship with Yan Zhiqing?”
Shi Xiaoya thought to herself, Luo Qingxian actually wants to know quite a lot of things.

Chapter 2567: I’m an Outsider. How Could I Possibly Know So Much?

To think that even Yan Zhiqing got involved in this.
After Shi Xiaoya and Yan Zhiqing became Lu Man’s bridesmaids together, the two of them gradually became closer.
She never imagined that Luo Qingxian would even want to ask about what Wei Wucai did for work specifically.
Could Mount Lan Compound’s matters be inquired about?
“You know Wei Wucai?” Shi Xiaoya asked.
“I won’t keep it from you. Wei Wucai’s mother quite likes me. She even made a special effort to introduce me to him. It can be considered… considered a blind date.” Luo Qingxian thought, “This way, I won’t lose.”
Shi Xiaoya had Han Zhuoling while Luo Qingxian had Wei Wucai.
Wei Wucai was rather well-regarded at Mount Lan Compound. His work could not be compared with ordinary ones.
It was hard to say who was better between Wei Wucai and Han Zhuoling.
However, the important point was that Wei Wucai was younger than Han Zhuoling, and he had not been married before.
This was the one aspect where he was clearly better than Han Zhuoling.
Even if Han Zhuoling’s previous marriage did not affect him much, he would still be considered as a “second-hand” husband.
It did not sound too good to say he was getting married for the second time, right?
“So, I want to know more about him. I’ve thought about it. Among the people I know, you’re the one who is the closest to the eight great families. Help me ask around, okay?”
Shi Xiaoya understood now, but she did not really believe Luo Qingxian regardless of how much of what she just said was real.
“Qingxian, it’s not that I don’t want to help you ask around, but who dares ask about Mount Lan Compound’s matters? Even if you went and asked Wei Wucai’s mother, Auntie wouldn’t tell you either. You can go ask around. Who has ever heard from Auntie even a little bit about Wei Wucai’s work matters? Even we who only know a bit about Mount Lan Compound have heard about their strict levels of confidentiality.
“So, this… I really have no way of asking for you. Even Zhuoling doesn’t know how to ask, let alone me,” Shi Xiaoya said.
Of course, Han Zhuoling knew, but Shi Xiaoya did not actually want to cause Wei Wucai any trouble.
It did not matter how Luo Qingxian managed to connect the dots between Wei Wucai and Yan Zhiqing.
However, since she suspected that Wei Wucai and Yan Zhiqing might have a romantic relationship, it meant Wei Wucai did not actually like Luo Qingxian.
Otherwise… Considering Wei Wucai’s character, he must truly like her if he said so.
So why would Luo Qingxian need to go around outside and ask other people about him?
If there really was anything she wanted to know, she could just go ask Wei Wucai.
This was Wei Wucai’s personal matter, so Shi Xiaoya could not simply divulge details as she wished.
“Why is it impossible? You’re often together, so how could you not know even a little bit?” Luo Qingxian asked somewhat aggressively.
Shi Xiaoya smiled. “Please don’t make things difficult for me. You can just ask him directly. Since the two of you have already been on a blind date, I imagine you must have a way of contacting him. It would be a bit better if you asked him directly. If he feels he can tell you, he will naturally tell you. I’m an outsider. How could I possibly know so much?”
There were still things Luo Qingxian wanted to say, but Yuan Ailin spoke first: “Qingxian, don’t make things difficult for Xiaoya. We’ve all heard the many rumors about Mount Lan Compound. How is it possible to make inquiries about it willy-nilly?”
Yuan Ailin felt that what Shi Xiaoya said was not wrong. If you wanted to know something, you should go ask the person in question directly.
It was a somewhat shady move to go around behind a person’s back and ask about them.
Luo Qingxian pursed her lips. Since even Shen Mujing urged her not to, Luo Qingxian could only stop asking for that.
“But Wei Wucai and Yan Zhiqing’s matter—you ought to know about that, right?” Luo Qingxian asked with an unpleasant expression.
