Xie qingying raised her eyes in surprise and looked at he zhichu for a while before nodding sadly. “Alright, I will tell my fifth uncle.”
She left the living room on the second floor and went to the living room on the first floor.
The place was still brightly lit, the music was wonderful, the clothes were fragrant, and there were sounds of laughter.
A servant saw her coming down and quickly said, “Miss Xie, prime minister Xie asked you to go over. They are in the car by the door.”
Xie qingying thought about how Xie Qingfen had been chased out by HE Zhichu and felt a little strange.
She suppressed her thoughts and nodded. “I’ll go take a look.”
She put on her black mink coat and walked out. The cold air outside calmed her slightly drowsy mind.
Xie qingying composed herself and went to Xie Beichen’s car. She bent down and knocked on his car window.
The car window slowly rolled down. Xie beichen frowned and asked, “What happened just now? Qingfen was crying so hard that she almost fainted, but she refused to tell me.”
Xie qingying revealed a bitter smile. She thought to herself that a twelve-year-old child was already sensible..
She knew what to say and what not to say.
She also knew what to hide and what to show so that she would not hurt her face or self-esteem.
She pulled her mink coat tight and said with a smile, “It’s nothing much. It’s just that Qingfen was a little too anxious. What she said made young master he unhappy.”
Xie Beichen:”…”
Thinking of He Zhichu’s words, Xie Beichen’s pupils shrank slightly.
Xie qingying’s figure blocked the light from above. Xie Beichen’s people were sitting in the dark, so Xie Qingying did not see the change in his expression clearly.
But perhaps she saw it clearly, but she did not care as much as before.
“… What did Qingfen Say?”Xie Beichen forced a smile, “How Old is she? She’s not someone who doesn’t know the gravity of the situation. How could she make young master he angry? Qingying, you’re young master he’s future wife. Qingfen is from your mother’s family. Young master he did not give Qingfen face…”
Xie qingying stopped smiling, she interrupted xie beichen, “Fifth uncle, don’t go overboard.”. Young master he didn’t give Qingfen any face. It was purely because Qingfen was indecent and had nothing to do with the other members of the Xie family. “Young master he didn’t suppress the unreasonable people of the entire family just because he detested one person.”
Xie Beichen felt even more guilty. He smiled sheepishly and said, “Qingying is really different. She’s not even married yet, and she’s already turning her back on others.”
Xie qingying was angry. She frowned, stood up straight, and looked down at Xie Beichen, she said lightly, “Fifth uncle, to me, young master he is the Man I love. I married him because I love him. “Qingfen is my cousin. I will treat her well, but she should know how to be polite. “She’s not 12 anymore. Even though Gu Nianzhi grew up in the He family and was spoiled and spoiled by young master he and lawyer Qin, she’s not as ugly as she is.”
Xie Beichen’s face darkened.
Did he hear wrong?
Xie qingying was actually hitting him?
Xie Beichen was not as polite to Xie qingying as he zhichu was to he zhichu.
His face darkened. “Looks like Qingying thinks she’s already engaged and can burn the bridge after crossing it. Alright, I’d like to see how you’re going to be the mistress of the He family! Drive!”
He gave the order and the car whizzed away. Xie qingying almost stumbled from the momentum of the car.
She took two steps back before she could stand on her feet.
Xie qingying glanced at the car coldly before she returned to the living room.
Her best friend came over with a cup of hot cocoa and handed it to her. “Look at your face, it’s so cold that it’s turning purple. It warms you up.”
Xie qingying held the hot cocoa in her hand, and the warmth in her eyes gradually rose.
She looked at her best friend, and her eyes were a little red.
“What’s Wrong?”Her best friend looked at her in confusion. “What happened?”
Xie qingying finished the hot cocoa and put it down. She looked around and pulled her into her own room not far from the living room.
This was a suite on the first floor. It was very spacious, and the furnishings were very good. It was a pity that it was not on the second floor.
Her best friend saw that she was so cautious, and she became even more worried. “What happened?”
Xie qingying looked at her for a while and hesitated to speak.
“Why don’t you say something? Is there anything you can’t say to Me?”Her best friend held her hand and asked with concern, “Or is it related to young master he?”
Xie qingying let out a long sigh and said, “You remember my cousin, Xie Qingfen, right? She’s the youngest daughter of my uncle Beichen’s family.”
“Oh…”her best friend let out a long sigh and said meaningfully, “Of course I know. When I saw her a few days ago, I was really shocked…”
Xie qingying smiled bitterly. “She’s really bold. She only learned a little from Gu Nianzhi, but she dared to touch young master he in front of him.”
Her best friend giggled. “Young master he must be disgusted to have to touch her like that, right?”
Xie qingying’s smile became even more forced. She pinched her best friend. “You’re still laughing!”
She continued, “He is quite disgusting. He even told Qingfen directly. Qingfen was so embarrassed that she couldn’t put up with it. She was crying in front of her father just now.”
“That’s right!”Her best friend snapped her fingers. “If you persist, I’m sure young master he will feel disgusted whenever he thinks about Gu Nianzhi again… then you can rest assured and be Mrs. He!”
Xie qingying looked at her blankly, bit her lip and said, “But Gu Nianzhi is young master he’s biological sister… Although they’re not the same father, they’re the same mother. They’re like brother and sister…”
Her best friend smiled and said, “It’s like brother and sister, but it’s not appropriate for you to be too nice to a sister.”
“Think about it. What kind of wife would like to have a sister-in-law in the house who is doted on by thousands of people? When the sister-in-law speaks, she can influence young master he’s feelings for you. What do you think you should do?”
Xie qingying leaned in front of Xie qingying again and said in a very low voice,”… The idea I gave you wasn’t bad, was it? Not only would it satisfy your fifth uncle’s wishes, but it would also allow young master he to cut off your fifth uncle’s little scheme. Killing two birds with one stone.”
Xie qingying smiled. She had wanted to satisfy her fifth uncle’s wishes, but if her fifth uncle wanted to do something, he zhichu had to have that intention
Ever since she had found out that Gu Nianzhi was he zhichu’s biological sister, Xie Qingying had felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.
Thinking back to how she had treated Gu Nianzhi as a rival in love, she found it amusing.
What a huge mistake!
She had never thought about it again, so she did not take Xie Beichen’s plans seriously. She also treated Xie Qingfen as a child’s mischief.
However, he zhichu showed an unusual disgust towards Xie Qingfen’s behavior and did not allow her to appear in front of him. She could not help but stop thinking about it.
But How was that possible?
Xie qingying looked at her best friend and decided to keep this thought in her heart. She did not even share it with her best friend anymore.
Xie qingying felt uneasy at the Christmas party that followed.
The clock struck twelve in the evening. Everyone gathered together to sing holy hymns. After they finished singing, they said goodbye to he zhichu.
Many people waited the whole night for he zhichu to appear.
Seeing that he zhichu had finally arrived, everyone was in a better mood. They scrambled to shake hands with him to show their closeness.
He Zhichu’s attitude was also very gentle. He stood there in a refined manner. He was less unreasonable and domineering than his father, but had an air of nobility that prevented strangers from approaching.
Not long after, everyone had left. Only Xie qingying had not left. She stayed in the living room and watched the servants clean up the mess after the party.
He Zhichu took out a cigarette and played with it. He asked Xie qingying calmly,”… do you want me to send you?”
Xie qingying turned around in surprise.”… I want to leave too? Young master he, today is Christmas Eve…”
He zhichu narrowed his eyes and looked over. He said without hesitation, “Yes, I’m going to observe filial piety. You Don’t have to come over so often this year.”
“But we’re already engaged.”Xie qingying walked over and looked up at he zhichu. “Young master he, I’m moving here. Why should I observe filial piety with you?”
He Zhichu pursed his lips. He wanted to say no, but Xie qingying was not Xie Qingfen. He had to be more polite when speaking to her.
Seeing that he zhichu did not reject her outright, Xie qingying’s uneasiness mostly disappeared. She smiled and said, “I Won’t disturb you. I’m just helping you take care of this family. You can focus all your energy on your work.”
After a pause, Xie qingying continued, “You just took care of those six people. I’m worried that their remaining faction will harm you.”
He zhichu came back to his senses and thought that this was something to consider. However, it was not his safety, but Xie Qingying’s.
No matter what, in the eyes of outsiders, Xie Qingying was his fiancée and would be his wife in the future.
At this stage, it was indeed not safe to leave her outside.
He Zhichu knew that he still needed some time before he could achieve complete control.
He nodded and agreed. “Then you can move in.”
The He family’s house was big. Xie qingying already had a suite here, but it was on the first floor.
Xie qingying was more at ease, so she mustered up her courage and asked,”… young master he, do you want me to move into the suite opposite your bedroom on the second floor?”
That suite was Gu Nianzhi’s room, and no one had stayed there since she left.
However, he zhichu still had people clean it every day. It was the same as before, and he zhichu could tell at a glance that there was a needle missing.
He zhichu narrowed his eyes and said calmly, “Don’t you have a suite downstairs? This is Nianzhi’s room. She’ll cry when she comes back. She’s still young, and you’re her sister-in-law. You have to bear with her.”
