Siman Rong looked at the two of them in surprise.
"It's only been a month, and you two have become good friends?"
Monica glanced at Xin Qing with a smile and said, "We hit it off! Right, Xin Qing? "
Ying Qingcang happened to come out of the study. Seeing that she was leaning on Xin Qing, he walked over and pulled her away with dissatisfaction. "Why are you leaning on her when you're so tall?"
"Humph, leaning on her won't hurt her." Monica curled her lips and pulled Xin Qing to the sofa aside to sit down. "Don't hang out with A Cang all the time. Tomorrow, I'll take you to the forest to see the elk!"
"He took me to see it!" Xin Qing narrowed her eyes. Thinking of what they had done on horseback, she blushed.
Monica shouted in disbelief, "He took you to do such a boring thing?"
"Why did you take me there if it was boring?" Xin Qing glared at her. Monica waved her hand. "I mean it's boring for him." After saying that, she glanced at Ying Qingcang.
Ying Qingcang also felt strange. When did the two women become so close? Xin Qing sensed his gaze and pouted at him. "Of course you don't understand."
"You came at the right time." Siman Rong suddenly said to Monica, "A Cang doesn't want to hold a ball for Xin Qing. You should persuade him. It's unfair to Xin Qing."
As soon as she said that, the expressions of the other three people were different. Ying Qingcang's face became colder. Xin Qing looked at Monica with amusement. Monica snorted.
"Only you are willing to attend that kind of boring ball." She glanced at Siman Rong. "I guess A Cang must be afraid that Xin Qing will be tired, so he doesn't want to hold the ball. Besides, they'll leave in two months. Why do they need to know those hypocritical people?"
Ying Qingcang glanced at her. "If you want to continue your internship, you can come back."
"Great! I'll go after I graduate. " Monica happily grabbed Xin Qing's hand and said, "Little Qing, we can go together every day in the future."
Ying Qingcang's face darkened. "Find a place to live."
"Ah? Oh... "Monica pursed her lips. Xin Qing held back her laughter." This Monica is a good friend, "she thought.
Rong Siman did not utter a word the entire time. There was no expression on her face either. Xin Qing felt that it was too much trouble for Rong Siman to keep trying to sow discord between Rong Siman and Xin Qing, so this was the first time she took the initiative to speak to Rong Siman.
"Auntie!" Siman Rong's face turned pale when she heard that. She stared at Xin Qing as if she was shocked. "You … What did you call me?"
Xin Qing looked at her innocently and said, "Auntie, you are Uncle Ying's wife. That makes you my elder. Of course I have to call you auntie!"
She looked at Ying Qingcang reproachfully. "Don't mind Ying Qingcang. He's used to being rude."
Then she smiled and said, "Auntie, let me tell you. You don't have to worry about us all the time. It's easy for old people to get wrinkles. Look at how hard you put on makeup every day. Isn't it just to look beautiful and young? Then don't let yourself worry about other people's business. You should relax! "
Siman Rong was only 27 years old. With good maintenance, she didn't look old at all. She looked like she was in her early twenties. But … Xin Qing was only 18 years old! Compared to Rong Siman, Rong Siman was just older!
"Thank you for your concern. But A Cang's business is not other people's business." Siman Rong's mouth was about to become crooked, but she still said it with a smile. Even Xin Qing was impressed by this woman's patience and determination. Monica covered her mouth and laughed so hard that she was about to cramp up.
Ying Qingcang said coldly, "I have nothing to do with you."
"A Cang!" Siman Rong looked hurt. "You … Forget it. I know you've always blamed me, but back then I …" Before she could finish, Ying Qingcang stood up and pulled Xin Qing away. Monica watched them leave and then said to Siman Rong with a sneer, "After so many years, you still can't see it clearly."
She shook her head and stood up. "It seems that you're really old. Your brain is getting worse and worse."
"Monica, stop!" Siman Rong shouted. "What's wrong with you? Haven't you always liked A Cang? "
Monica turned around and looked at her. "You're wrong. I just like A Cang out of habit. I've always regarded him as my idol, my brother, and my ideal partner since I was a child. But I know that he'll never like me. " Monica sighed. "Since we grew up together, let me remind you. Don't lie to yourself. Otherwise, no one can save you."
Xin Qing shook off Ying Qingcang's hand. "Are you going to tell me or not?"
"Tell me what?" Ying Qingcang was confused.
"Tell me what's wrong with your aunt."
Ying Qingcang's face darkened again. "Don't mention her in front of me. It's disgusting."
"I'm not suspecting you of anything." Xin Qing pouted. "But I don't want to be provoked every single time. I don't even know what's the reason behind it."
Ying Qingcang held her in his arms and apologized. "I'm sorry. I feel disgusted when I hear her name."
"So! Let me tell you. "Monica came out from behind and winked at Ying Qingcang.
Xin Qing quickly jumped out of Ying Qingcang's arms. "Okay, go ahead."
"Tell me the truth." Ying Qingcang frowned and agreed. Otherwise, he would feel uncomfortable if Xin Qing was always unhappy because of this.
Monica and Xin Qing sat down in the shade of a tree in the garden.
"We have to start from when we were young …"
Monica's father was Ying Hao's subordinate. She was two years younger than Ying Qingcang. In order to let the two children have a playmate, Ying Hao raised Monica in the Ying family.
"I remember it was when I was eight and Ying Qingcang was ten. One day, Uncle Ying brought a little girl home out of the blue. That girl was none other than Rong Siman. She looks beautiful today. When I first saw her, she was thin and small. She looked six or seven years old at most. Uncle Ying said that she was two years older than us and was the orphan of a friend. "
Monica thought for a moment. "At that time, A Cang's personality was already very strange, especially to the opposite sex. He hated women very much. But Uncle Ying wanted to keep Siman Rong. He also told Siman Rong that A Cang was her younger brother and that she should take good care of him. "
"So when we were young, Siman Rong was always with A Cang, especially in the first two years. I think she was very uneasy and was afraid of being sent away. So no matter how bad A Cang's attitude towards her was, she didn't mind. "
Xin Qing nodded. "So, it's normal that you all like Ying Qingcang."
"Yes! Every girl will be tempted to be with such an excellent man every day. "Monica agreed." Siman Rong and I are no exception. "
She glanced at Xin Qing. "That was before. Now I only see him as an older brother. You have to believe me."
"Yes, yes, I believe you. Then what happened?"
"Then the three of us lived in the Ying family's ancestral home. We even went to the same school. Even though Rong Siman had slowly blossomed into a beautiful woman as she grew older.
At that time, many boys in the school liked her. She always said that she was A Cang's girlfriend. A Cang didn't say anything, but he didn't deny it either. So until graduation, they were the best couple. "
Monica suddenly touched Xin Qing's arm. "Don't misunderstand. Now that I think about it, A Cang probably just thought it was troublesome. With Siman Rong as his shield, at least other girls wouldn't bother him every day."
"Not probably. It must be." Xin Qing thought of Ying Qingcang's cold face and said with certainty.
Monica grunted a couple of times before continuing, "After I graduated, I went abroad to further my studies. When I came back the following winter break, I suddenly received the news that Rong Siman was going to marry Uncle Ying. After that, Ah Cang went to S City after Chinese New Year. From then on, he only came back for two days during Chinese New Year."
"That's it?" Xin Qing saw that she stopped talking.
"That's it."
Xin Qing stared at Monica. "That's it. Why did Siman Rong marry Uncle Ying in the end? Why did Ying Qingcang hate her so much? Also, don't you think Ying Qingcang's attitude towards Uncle Ying is also wrong? "
"Since Uncle Ying married Siman Rong, A Cang's attitude towards him has been very bad." Monica rolled her eyes. "So, Siman Rong has always thought that Ying Qingcang likes her and blames her for marrying Uncle Ying. In order not to let her see them sad, he even stayed away from the Ying family."
Xin Qing shook her head. "She must have read too many CEO novels."
What kind of man was Ying Qingcang? Would he alienate his father because of such a thing? It was ridiculous. If Siman Rong really liked him so much, how could she not know this?
"Tell me, what happened back then?" Monica moved closer to Xin Qing and said mysteriously, "You can ask A Cang. I think he must know."
Xin Qing chuckled and poked her forehead. "No wonder you took the initiative to tell me. In fact, you want to know what happened."
"Tsk, don't you want to know?" Monica lowered her voice again. "Let me tell you, I also suspect that Siman Rong's son is not Uncle Ying's at all."
"No way?" Xin Qing stared at her. "You can't say that."
"Anyway, that's what I think." Monica scratched her head.
Xin Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think Uncle Ying is so stupid that he doesn't know that he has been cuckolded?"
"… No." Monica pondered for a moment and said, "Just ignore her. Ignore whatever she says."
Xin Qing smiled. "It's not like you haven't fought with me before. Do you think I'm so easy to bully?"
"You're not. You look delicate, but you're actually very fierce." Monica nodded. "Anyway, you have A Cang to support you. You can beat her."
After talking with Monica, Xin Qing became more curious. It seemed that only Ying Qingcang and Ying Hao knew what happened back then. Xin Qing thought that asking Ying Hao was more reliable than Ying Qingcang. But she couldn't go.
Besides, there might be some unknown family secret, just like the Ying family's ancestral teachings.
Xin Qing suppressed her curiosity for the time being. A week passed like this, and it was the full moon, the day of the ancestral worship. Xin Qing took a shower and waited for Ying Qingcang to pick her up. But Siman Rong's voice came from the door.
