“Oh, thank you very much, Miss Long. I would prepare a good show with your information.” Raymond said and hung up.
Long Yuning did not look very happy as she looked at the phone screen. Over the past few days, she had been sending insider news to Duke Raymond. Although Raymond had always been one step ahead of Xie Jiuhan, this had also aroused Xie Jiuhan’s competitive spirit. First, he had planted the Xie Manor with tulips, and then he had prepared a fireworks show for Feng Qing. This was enough to prove that his heart only has Feng Qing alone without any gaps for her.
“Duke Raymond, you must not disappoint me. I’m helping you so much, you have to work hard too!” Long Yuning mumbled to herself.
The reason why she was so happy to help Raymond was to anger Xie Jiuhan and make him suspect Feng Qing or feel irritated with her. It was best to think that Feng Qing was a loose woman. Only when there was a crack in their relationship could she put her foot in it.
…
After school, Feng Qing rode her scooter back to the Xie Manor. Before the car could stop, she saw Xie Shihao driving his sports car over and parking it beside her.
Xie Shihao pulled a long face as he got out of the car. This was the first time he had returned to the Xie Manor this week. It wasn’t that he didn’t like the Xie Manor, but there were people in the Xie Manor that he was afraid of, such as Xie Yuhuan.
Xie Jiuhan usually ignored him, so he could be carefree. However, Xie Yuhuan was very strict with him. As long as he did something wrong, he would be taught a lesson by Xie Yuhuan.
“Haha, Xiao Hao, why are you here?” Feng Qing asked.
Xie Shihao snorted coldly. “Do you think I’m willing to come back? It was my little grandaunt who told me to come back for dinner tonight. Otherwise, she’ll teach me a lesson!”
Feng Qing covered her mouth and chuckled. “Then you came empty-handed?”
Xie Shihao stiffened his neck. “What? I have to give her a gift to eat with her? I don’t have money!”
Feng Qing opened the trunk of the scooter and took out two exquisite boxes. She placed one in her bag and the other to Xie Shihao.
“Luckily I bought an extra gift. Just take it as a gift you give to Little Aunt.” Feng Qing said.
Xie Shihao took the box and looked at it. He asked impatiently, “What’s in this?”
Feng Qing smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it’s not a bomb anyway!”
Xie Shihao took a deep breath and said helplessly, “What’s so good about being born in such a big family? It’s really troublesome. There are so many broken rules!”
According to the rules of the Xie family, every time an elder invites someone for a meal, the junior should bring a gift. The gift could not be expensive, but one had to put in effort into choosing the gift as this was the only way to better connect their relationship.
“I really don’t understand. Which ancestor created such a rule? With her status, what do you think she’s lacking? She’s simply taking off her pants to fart. It’s unnecessary.” Xie Shihao said unhappily.
Feng Qing comforted him. “Alright, rules are rules. Since you’re from the Xie family, you have to abide by the rules. Your little grandaunt doesn’t lack anything, but as a junior, you have to be polite. At least, let her not be able to find fault with you.”
Xie Shihao pouted and shook the small gift box in his hand. “Thanks!” Even if he was dissatisfied, he had to be presentable. Otherwise, Xie Yuhuan would teach him political and ideological lessons again.
“Xiao Hao, what did you just say?” Feng Qing asked with a smile.
Xie Shihao stopped in his tracks and said impatiently, “Why are you pretending? You’re blind, not deaf. Oh, I almost forgot. You’re not blind anymore. Forget it, why am I talking to you? You women are so troublesome. It’s up to you whether you have heard it or not!”
Feng Qing smiled. If she remembered correctly, this was the first time Xie Shihao had thanked her since she came to the Xie Manor. She felt that she was one step closer to making Xie Shihao call her aunt.
When she returned to her room, Feng Qing washed up briefly and applied her makeup again. After changing her clothes. Although it’s her family’s banquet, she’s the Madam of the Xie family. She has to attend it properly..
