Xie Beichen was stunned for a moment. His eyes quickly sparkled as he smiled embarrassedly. "You saw Qingfen? She's smart and cute. She's admired you since she was young and has been clamoring to meet you. "
He then played 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 little chubby girl! How are they alike? "
He Zhichu looked at him quietly and thought to himself, wasn't Gu Nianzhi just a little chubby girl before she was 12 years old?
Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that the adult Gu Nianzhi would look completely different from when she was young …
Xie Beichen's heart was pounding when he saw that He Zhichu hadn't spoken.
Moreover, he was more concerned about the urgent matter.
"Young Master He, you have to say something! Six people are gone at once. You can't do it alone! "
He Zhichu finally walked away from the sofa and strolled to the window. He looked out at the night sky and said dryly, "It's because there are six vacancies all at once. Tell me, how many people will be determined to be loyal to me for these six positions?"
Xie Beichen thought about it for a while before he suddenly understood.
He couldn't help clapping his hands and giving He Zhichu a thumbs up. "Brilliant! Young Master He's move is brilliant! "
"This is simply 'killing three soldiers with two peaches'! Hahahaha! "
Xie Beichen laughed happily.
He Zhichu frowned. "Why would I kill them?"
He turned to look at Xie Beichen and said calmly, "With these six positions, we can unite the most capable and 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, but Xie Beichen had been in the cabinet for so many years and had long been an official. How could he not understand what He Zhichu was implying?
He was beating him up!
Xie Beichen actually felt wronged.
He Chengjian had suddenly passed away, and it was said that he had made a serious mistake before he died.
Under such circumstances, the six people had joined forces to take He Zhichu down and eliminate the He family's power in the military.
The situation was so critical, yet he could still stand on He Zhichu's side. Wasn't that enough?
However, just because he was on He Zhichu's side did not mean that the entire Xie family was on He Zhichu's side.
When it came to matters of "right and wrong", the big clans would "respectively bet on the treasures and spread the risk".
He Zhichu also understood the Xie family's reason for doing this. He didn't intend to settle the score with the Xie family, but the Xie family had to understand that he knew what they had done.
This was a warning, as well as a handle.
Xie Beichen's back involuntarily hunched, and he became shorter in front of He Zhichu.
He smiled and asked, "Since everything has been resolved, does Young Master He have time to prepare for your wedding with Qingying?"
He Zhichu leaned against the window sill and said aloofly, "It's still early. We just got engaged. 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, so Qingying has to come and observe mourning."
"She doesn't need to." He Zhichu rubbed his temples with his fingers. "She's also very busy now. She's helped me a lot these days, and she's also tired. She needs a good rest. There's no rush to get married."
At this point, Xie Beichen had already agreed to whatever He Zhichu said. He didn't even dare to say "no".
..
After coming out of the living room on the second floor, Xie Beichen realized that his back was drenched in sweat.
He came down from the second floor and met Xie Qingying, who was about to deliver supper to He Zhichu, and Xie Qingfen, who was very obedient beside Xie Qingying.
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, I'm done." Xie Beichen's attitude improved a lot. He smiled kindly at Xie Qingying and said kindly, "Then hurry up and go up. I'll take Qingfen home."
As he spoke, he was about to hold Xie Qingfen's hand.
Xie Qingfen broke free from his hand and grabbed Xie Qingying's arm. "I want to go see Brother He with my cousin! I want to apologize to Brother He … "
Xie Beichen thought about it and slowly retracted his hand. He smiled and said, "Then go. I'll wait for you downstairs. Come out after you apologize. Don't disturb your cousin and brother-in-law, okay? "
Xie Qingfen pouted and said in a drawl, "… Got it …"
Xie Beichen smiled as he came to the hall and started chatting with people.
Xie Qingying brought Xie Qingfen to the living room on the second floor and knocked on the door.
He Zhichu had just walked back to the sofa and sat down when he heard Xie Qingying's voice coming from the intercom. "Young Master He, supper is ready."
He Zhichu pressed the automatic door button and opened the door to let her in.
However, as soon as Xie Qingying came in, a chubby little girl ran out from behind her and quickly ran to him. She knelt on the carpet in front of him and placed her hands on his knees. She widened her eyes and said, "Brother He, I was wrong just now. Can you forgive me?"
He Zhichu looked at her expressionlessly, then raised his head to look at Xie Qingying. His voice was very gentle as he said, "Qingying, have you already forgotten what I said earlier?"
Xie Qingying was stunned and quickly smiled. "Young Master He, don't be angry. Besides, you have to apologize for doing something wrong. I asked her to come."
She then said to Xie Qingfen, "Qingfen, alright. You'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 in fascination and said, "Brother He, you're so good-looking! I want to stay at your house, okay? I'm very interested in the law and want to learn it. Brother He, can you teach me? "
He Zhichu looked at her calmly and shook his head. "No."
"Huh? Why?! What's wrong with me?! "Xie Qingfen was stunned, as if she had never thought that He Zhichu would reject her …
"You're not good at all. You're stupid, ugly, and pretentious. I can't eat when I see you. Disgusting. " He Zhichu's almond-shaped eyes flashed with a cold light, and his thin lips spat out hurtful words.
Xie Qingfen was stunned. She stared at He Zhichu in a daze for a while before bursting into tears. She got up and ran out.
Xie Qingying was also stunned and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Why would He Zhichu say such harsh words to a child?
Xie Qingying's expression gradually turned ugly. She put the supper on the coffee table in front of the sofa and looked at He Zhichu seriously. "Young Master He, your words were too harsh just now. Qingfen is still a child … "
"… It's because she's still a child that she's even more disgusting." He Zhichu's expression was as cold as frost. "I said I don't want this person to appear in front of me again. Did you 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 outrageous Qingfen is, she only admires you and admires you. Why are you so angry? "
"… Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?" He Zhichu frowned and looked at Xie Qingying. "Don't tell me you don't remember what Nianzhi was 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 imitating Nianzhi when she was young?"
Xie Qingying still nodded calmly. "She does look a little similar, but she didn't learn it. All girls at her age are like that. Besides, so what if she did? Nianzhi is your biological sister, and my Qingfen is similar to your sister. It means that we're fated to be relatives. "
"Why are you reacting so strongly?" Xie Qingying was very confused. "At most, I'll tell her not to learn from others and be herself."
He Zhichu felt a wave of anger. He tugged at his collar and said, "Up to you, but don't let me say it again. I don't want to see your little cousin. From now on, she's not allowed to appear where I am. "
