Xie Qingying looked up in surprise and looked at He Zhichu for a while. Her eyes dimmed as she nodded. "Okay, I'll tell my fifth uncle."
She left the living room on the second floor and went to the living room on the first floor.
The lights were still bright, the music was beautiful, the clothes were fragrant, and the laughter was cheerful.
A servant saw her come down and quickly said, "Miss Xie, Prime Minister Xie said he wants you to go over. They're in the car at the door."
Xie Qingying thought about how Xie Qingfen had been chased out by He Zhichu's harsh words and felt a little strange.
She suppressed herself and nodded. "I'll go take a look."
She put on her black mink coat and walked out. The cold air outside calmed her somewhat dizzy mind.
Xie Qingying composed herself and walked to Xie Beichen's car. She bent down and knocked on his window.
The window slowly rolled down. Xie Beichen frowned and asked, "What happened just now? Qingfen cried so hard that she almost fainted. She refused to tell me. "
Xie Qingying smiled bitterly. She thought to herself that a twelve-year-old child was indeed sensible …
She knew what to say and what not to say.
She also knew what to hide and what to reveal so that she wouldn't hurt her own face or self-esteem.
She tightened her mink coat and said with a smile, "It's nothing. It's just that Qingfen was a little too anxious. What she said made Young Master He unhappy."
Xie Beichen: "…"
Xie Beichen's pupils shrank imperceptibly when he thought of He Zhichu's warning just now.
Xie Qingying's figure blocked the light shining down from above. Xie Beichen was sitting in the dark, so Xie Qingying didn't see the change in his expression clearly.
Perhaps she saw it clearly, but she didn't 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 severity of things. How could she make Young Master He angry? Qingying, you're Young Master He's future wife, and Qingfen is from your family. Young Master He didn't give Qingfen face … "
Xie Qingying stopped smiling and interrupted Xie Beichen. "Fifth Uncle, don't get carried away. Young Master He didn't give Qingfen face purely because Qingfen wasn't being proper. It had nothing to do with the rest of the Xie family. Young Master He is not the kind of unreasonable person who suppresses an entire family just because he hates one person. "
Xie Beichen felt even more guilty. He smiled sheepishly and said, "Qingying is really different now. She's not even married yet, but she's already siding with an outsider."
Xie Qingying was angry. She frowned and stood up straight. She looked down at Xie Beichen and 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 also know her manners. Twelve years old isn't young anymore. Even though Gu Nianzhi grew up in the He family and was spoiled by Young Master He and Lawyer Qin to the point of being spoiled and willful, she wasn't as ugly as she is now. "
Xie Beichen's expression turned even darker.
Did he hear wrongly?
Xie Qingying was actually beating him up?
Xie Beichen was not as polite to Xie Qingying as he was to He Zhichu.
His expression darkened. "It seems like Qingying thinks that since we're already engaged, she can burn the bridge after crossing it. Fine, I want to see how you are going to be the mistress of the He family! Drive! "
At his command, the car drove away with a whoosh. Xie Qingying almost stumbled from the impact of the car.
She took two steps back before she could regain her footing.
Xie Qingying glanced at the car coldly before returning to the living room.
Her best friend walked over with a cup of hot cocoa and handed it to her. "Your face is purple from the cold. Warm it up."
Xie Qingying held the hot cocoa in her hand and felt warm.
Her eyes were a little red as she looked at her best friend.
"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 room not far from the living room.
This was a suite on the first floor. It was very spacious and well-decorated. It was a pity that it wasn't on the second floor.
Her best friend was even more worried when she saw how cautious she was. "What happened?"
Xie Qingying looked at her for a while and hesitated to speak.
"Say something? What else can't you tell me? "Her best friend held her hand and asked with concern," Or does it have something to do with Young Master He? "
Xie Qingying let out a long sigh and said, "Do you remember my cousin, Xie Qingfen? 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, yet she dared to be touchy in front of Young Master He."
Her best friend giggled. "Young Master He must be disgusted by her appearance, yet she still wants to be touchy, right?"
Xie Qingying's smile became even more forced. She pinched her best friend. "You're still laughing!"
She added, "He's quite disgusting. He even told Qingfen bluntly. Qingfen was so embarrassed that she couldn't get out of it. She was crying in front of her father just now."
"That's right!" Her best friend snapped her fingers. "Hold on a little longer. I guarantee that Young Master He will feel disgusted when he thinks of Gu Nianzhi again … Then you can rest assured and be Mrs. He!"
Xie Qingying looked at her in a daze. She bit her lip and said, "But Gu Nianzhi is Young Master He's biological sister … Although they don't have the same father, they have the same mother. They are siblings …"
Her best friend smiled and said, "They are siblings, but it's not appropriate for you to be too good to your sister."
"Think about it, which wife would like to have a sister-in-law at home who is doted on by everyone? When the time comes, the sister-in-law will be able to control Young Master He's feelings for you. What do you think you'll do? "
She moved closer to Xie Qingying and said very softly, "… The idea I gave you is not bad, right? Not only can it follow your fifth uncle's wishes, but it can also make Young Master He cut off your fifth uncle's intentions. It's killing two birds with one stone. "
Xie Qingying smiled. She wanted to follow her fifth uncle's wishes, but if she said that her fifth uncle was interested, He Zhichu would have to have that kind of heart …
Ever since she found out that Gu Nianzhi was He Zhichu's biological sister, Xie Qingying had been relieved.
She thought about how she used to regard Gu Nianzhi as her rival in love and found it funny.
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 for Xie Qingfen's actions and forbade her to appear in front of him. She had no choice but to stop thinking about it.
But how was that possible?
Xie Qingying looked at her best friend and decided to keep her thoughts to herself. She didn't even share it with her best friend.
After that, Xie Qingying felt uneasy at the Christmas party.
After the clock struck twelve in the evening, everyone gathered together to sing hymns. After singing, she and He Zhichu said goodbye to everyone.
Many people had waited the whole night for He Zhichu to appear.
Seeing that he had finally arrived, everyone was in a better mood. They rushed to shake hands with him to show their closeness.
He Zhichu's attitude was also very gentle. He stood there politely. He was less unreasonable and domineering than his father, but more noble and unapproachable.
Not long after, everyone left except for Xie Qingying. She stayed in the living room and watched the servants clean up the mess after the dinner and party.
He Zhichu took out a cigarette and played with it in his hand. He asked Xie Qingying indifferently, "… Do you want me to send you off?"
Xie Qingying turned around in surprise. "… I have to go too? Young Master He, today is Christmas Eve … "
He Zhichu narrowed his eyes and looked over. He said unquestionably, "Yes, I have to observe filial piety. You don't have to come over so frequently this year."
"But we're already engaged." Xie Qingying walked over and looked up at He Zhichu. "Young Master He, I'll move in and observe filial piety with you, okay?"
He Zhichu pursed his lips. He wanted to say no, but Xie Qingying wasn't Xie Qingfen. He had to be more polite when speaking to her.
Seeing that He Zhichu didn't reject her outright, most of the uneasiness in Xie Qingying's heart disappeared. She smiled and said, "I won't disturb you. I'll just help you take care of this family. You can focus all your energy on your work. "
After a pause, Xie Qingying added, "You just took care of those six people. I'm worried that the rest of their gang will harm you."
He Zhichu came back to his senses and thought that this was something he needed to consider. However, it wasn't 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 had to spend some time before he could fully control it.
He nodded and agreed. "Then you 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 even more at ease. She couldn't help but muster up the courage to ask again, "… Young Master He, do you want me to move to the suite opposite your bedroom on the second floor?"
That suite was Gu Nianzhi's room. Ever since she left, no one had lived in that room.
However, He Zhichu still had people clean it every day. The inside was kept the same. If a needle wasn't placed properly, He Zhichu would be able to tell at a glance.
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 and has no place to stay. She's young, and you're her sister-in-law. You have to be more tolerant. "
