Xie Beichen was stunned for a moment, but his eyes quickly lit up and he smiled sheepishly. “Have you seen Qingfen? She’s smart and cute. She’s been idolizing you since she was a child and has been clamoring to meet you.”
He then pretended to be dumb.”… Why do you think she looks a little like Miss Gu? I don’t think so… Miss Gu is so tall and beautiful, and our Qingfen is just a chubby little girl! How do we look alike?”
He Zhichu looked at him quietly. Wasn’t Gu Nianzhi just a chubby little girl before she turned 12?
He had never dreamed that Gu Nianzhi would look completely different when she grew up..
Xie Beichen’s heart began to pound when he saw he zhichu’s silence.
He was more concerned about the matter at hand.
“Young master he, you have to say something! Six people are missing, and you can’t do it alone!”
He zhichu walked out from the sofa and slowly walked to the window. He looked at the night sky outside the window, he said calmly, “It’s because there are six empty seats. Tell me, how many people will pledge their loyalty to me for these six seats?”
Xie Beichen thought for a while and finally understood.
He clapped his hands and gave he zhichu a thumbs up. “Good! Young master he’s really good!”
“This is simply ‘Two Peaches Kill Three Warriors’! hahahaha!”
Xie beichen laughed happily.
He zhichu frowned. “Why would I kill them?”
He turned to look at Xie Beichen, he said calmly, “With these six positions, we will be able to unite the most capable and the most energetic group of people in the army. With them, who would dare think that my position is unstable? HMM?”
He seemed to be explaining his intentions to Xie Beichen. However, Xie Beichen had been working in the cabinet for so many years and had long regarded officials as wise men. How could he not understand what he zhichu was trying to imply?
He was trying to hit him!
Xie beichen was actually feeling wronged.
He chengjian had suddenly passed away, and it was said that he had made a serious mistake before he passed away.
Under such circumstances, the six of them had joined forces to get rid of He Zhichu and eliminate the he family’s influence in the military.
The situation was so critical, yet he zhichu still stood on he zhichu’s side. Wasn’t that enough?
However, if he himself stood on he zhichu’s side, it did not mean that the entire Xie family stood on he zhichu’s side.
When the big families faced such a “Big right and big wrong”issue, they would place their bets separately and spread the risk.
He zhichu also understood the reason behind the Xie family’s actions. He did not plan to settle scores with the Xie family in the future, but the Xie family had to understand that he knew what they had done.
This was a warning, but also a weakness.
Xie beichen could not help but hunch his back, lowering his head in front of he zhichu.
He smiled and asked, “Since everything has been settled, does young master he have time to prepare for his wedding with Qing Ying?”
He zhichu leaned against the windowsill and said lightly, “It’s still early. We just got engaged, and my father passed away less than a year ago. How can I hold a wedding?”
“Oh… That’s true.”Xie beichen nodded. “General he passed away, and Qing Ying has to come to observe her filial piety.”
“There’s no need for her.”He zhichu rubbed his forehead with his fingers. “She’s very busy now. She’s helped me a lot these past few days, and she’s tired. Take a good rest. There’s no rush to get married.”
At this point, it was already he zhichu’s words and Xie Beichen’s response. He did not dare to say a word of “No”.
..
When he came out of the living room on the second floor, Xie Beichen realized that the sweat on his back had drenched the shirt under his tuxedo.
When he came down from the second floor, he met Xie qingying who was about to deliver supper to he zhichu, and Xie Qingfen who was very obedient by Xie qingying’s side.
Xie beichen reached out and touched Xie Qingfen’s head. He forced a smile and asked Xie qingying, “Are you going to deliver supper to young master he?”
Xie qingying looked at him strangely. “Yes… are you done talking to young master he?”
“I’m done talking, I’m done talking.”Xie Beichen’s attitude was much better. He smiled amiably at Xie qingying and said kindly, “Then go up quickly. I’ll bring Qingfen home.”
As he spoke, he was about to hold Xie Qingfen’s hand.
However, Xie Qingfen broke free from his hand. She grabbed Xie Qingying’s arm and said, “I want to go with eldest cousin sister to see Brother He! I want to apologize to brother he…”
Xie Beichen thought for a moment and slowly retracted his hand. He smiled and said, “Then go. I’ll wait for you downstairs. After you apologize, come out. Don’t disturb your eldest cousin sister and brother-in-law, understand?”
Xie Qingfen pouted and said in a long voice,”… understood…”
Xie beichen came to the hall with a smile and started to chat with others.
Xie qingying brought Xie Qingfen to the living room on the second floor and knocked on the door.
He Zhichu had just returned to the sofa and sat down when he heard Xie Qingying’s voice through the communicator. “Young master he, the supper is ready.”
He Zhichu pressed the automatic door button and opened the door to let her in.
However, the moment Xie qingying entered, a chubby little girl dashed out from behind her and ran quickly to him. She knelt on the carpet in front of him and placed her hands on his knees, she opened her eyes wide and said, “Brother he, I was wrong just now. Can you forgive me?”
He Zhichu looked at her expressionlessly and raised his head to look at Xie qingying. He said in a gentle voice,”… Qingying, have you forgotten what I said just now?”
Xie qingying was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, “Young master he, don’t be angry. If you say that you did something wrong again, you have to apologize. I asked her to come.”
After saying that, she turned to Xie qingfen and said, “Qingfen, alright, I’ve apologized. You can go back now. Your father is still waiting for you downstairs.”
“No! I’m not going back!”Xie Qingfen suddenly became stubborn, she stared at he zhichu with fascination and said, “Brother he, you’re so beautiful! Can I stay at your house? I’m very interested in law and want to learn it. Brother he, can you teach me?”
He Zhichu looked at her as usual and shook his head. “No.”
“AH? Why? ! What’s wrong with me? !”Xie Qingfen was stunned, as if she had never thought that he zhichu would reject her..
“Nothing is wrong with you. You’re stupid, Ugly, and pretentious. I Won’t be able to eat if I look at you. — disgusting.”He Zhichu’s sparkling peach blossom eyes flashed with a cold light, and his cold thin lips spat out hurtful words.
Xie Qingfen was stunned. She stared at He Zhichu in a daze for a while, then burst into tears. She got up and ran out.
Xie qingying was also stunned. She couldn’t recover from her shock for a long time.
Why would he zhichu say such harsh words to a child?
Xie qingying’s expression gradually turned ugly. She placed the supper on the coffee table in front of the sofa and looked at he zhichu seriously. “Young master he, you were too harsh just now. Qingfen is still a child…”
“… it’s precisely because she’s still a child that she’s even more disgusting.”He Zhichu’s face was as cold as ice. “I said that I don’t want this person to appear in front of me ever again. Did you just ignore My Words?”
Xie qingying was extremely embarrassed and was also very dissatisfied with he zhichu’s attitude.
She composed herself and tried to reason with he zhichu. “Young master he, What’s wrong with you? No matter how unreasonable Qingfen is, she only admires you and admires you. Why are you throwing such a tantrum?”
“… do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?”He zhichu frowned as he looked at Xie qingying. “Don’t you remember what Nianzhi looked like when she was young?”
Xie qingying nodded. “Of course I remember. What’s Wrong?”
“Can’t you tell that your little cousin is deliberately copying what Nianzhi looked like when she was young?”
Xie qingying still nodded calmly, “Yes, she’s a little like her, but she didn’t do it. Young girls at this age are all like that.”. “Besides, so what if she did learn?”? “Nianzhi is your biological sister. My Qingfen is similar to your sister in some ways. This means that we’re related by fate.”
“Why are you reacting so strongly?”Xie qingying was confused. “At most, I’ll tell her not to imitate others and just be herself.”
He Zhichu felt a wave of stuffiness. He pulled at his collar and said, “It’s up to you, but don’t ask me to say it again. I don’t want to see your little cousin. From now on, wherever I am, she is not allowed to appear.”
