Chapter 22 "Listen to Mrs. Crane."
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Ni Yang and He Siyu took Marshmallow back to Yinshuang Manor.
After dinner in the evening, Ni Hao called He Siyu to the study.
The study is decorated in a calm mahogany style. The entrance is filled with bookshelves that take up an entire wall and are filled with books of various styles.
He Si wanted to close the door and follow Ni Hao to sit at the tea table in the study, facing each other.
He sat upright, with his back straight, his legs slightly apart, and his arms resting on his legs.
Ni Hao glanced at He Siyu, then lowered his eyes and prepared to make tea.
"Uncle, I'll do it."
He Si wanted to see what Ni Hao was doing, so he interrupted him while he was about to warm the cup.
Ni Hao raised his eyes and glanced at He Siyu in surprise, "You can do this?"
He Si wanted to be polite and humble, so he lowered his eyes and picked up the boiling water beside him to rinse the tea set. His cold, bony hands performed the steps skillfully.
"Yes, my grandfather taught me when I was little."
Ni Hao suddenly remembered that the old man of the He family was famous for his love of tea, so how could he not teach the art of making tea to his chosen successor.
He looked at the man in front of him who had a flash marriage with Yangyang, and said that it was okay if he was satisfied. He had been in contact with Hesiyu before, and he had personally gone to Hesiyu to discuss the project with Yian at the beginning of the year.
Despite being young, he is steady, accurate and ruthless in his methods. He is humble and polite to others, speaks without making any mistakes, and has a calm demeanor.
At that time, he felt that only a man like this was worthy of his Yangyang. Now that the two were really together, he was not very happy.
After warming the cup, he poured the tea in. He Siyu drooped his eyelashes and asked softly, "Uncle, is it because of Qi Huaiyu that I'm looking for you?"
Ni Hao raised his eyebrows, "Well, you know?"
"I just received news that Qi Huaiyu returned to the Lin family in Hai City and took the position of president of Aura Jewelry within a month."
Ni Hao looked serious, frowned, and spoke with concern.
"After Qi Huaiyu returned, accidents happened to people in the Lin family one after another. First, his mother's brother was paralyzed in a car accident, and then his grandfather suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and is still in the ICU. How could this be a coincidence? Qi Huaiyu must have done this to seize power."
"I'm worried now that he might do something to Yangyang. He made such a scene at the engagement party, I'm sure he won't have a vengeful heart."
He Si was about to wake up from drinking tea, and the teacup made a crisp sound. He raised his eyes slightly to glance at Ni Hao's expression, then lowered his eyes and continued what he was doing.
"Uncle, Yi'an's jewelry line and Aura's philosophy clash. I don't like others trying to share a piece of the pie with me, especially if they're someone I don't like."
Ni Hao pursed his lips tightly, his expression solemn. He stared at He Siyu's eyebrows and asked tentatively: "Do you want to swallow Aura and dominate the market?"
The man poured the brewed tea into a white-glazed teacup, filling it to eight-tenths, and brought it to Ni's father, tilting his palm at a 45-degree angle.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "Uncle, please."
Ni Hao lowered his head, picked up the tea and took a sip. For some reason, although the tea leaves were the same, the one brewed by He Siyu was more fragrant.
One cup gave him a new understanding of He Siyu. He was very patient and ambitious.
He Siyu took a sip of tea and raised his eyebrows slightly. The tea was good, very fragrant and mellow.
"Uncle, it's not just one family that dominates. The Lin family is in this situation because they stole my mother's design draft. I want to take back the honor they stole."
Ni Hao had met He Sixu's mother, a Jiangnan-style beauty with extraordinary talent. In their era, a design draft of hers was worth a fortune.
However, because of a bet, the talented woman died, leaving behind the infant He Sixu.
"Since it was stolen, it must be returned to its original owner. If you need help, tell your uncle. We are a family. How can I let you fight alone? Although my uncle has no other skills, he is very good at revenge."
Ni Hao remembered what Ni Yang said. It was on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival that she called them and told them what happened in the He family's old house.
Yangyang said that she hoped they would be nicer to He Siyu in the future. He had never eaten candy since he was a child, and had never taken shelter from the rain in anyone's harbor. He was a poor little boy who grew up in the rain.
He Siyu's pupils trembled, and he looked at Ni Hao's loving eyes in surprise, with the bitter taste of tea lingering in his mouth. No one closest to him had ever looked at him like this.
Ni Yang's family loves him and shows him friendly love, which is the love he has fought for.
He curled his lips, a hint of warmth in his smile, "Well, thank you, uncle."
Ni Hao smiled and poured tea for himself and He Siyu, "Why thank you? We are a family, so why don't we say thank you?"

Coming out of the study, He Siyu stood at the railing on the second floor and looked down. Ni Yang was controlling the sports car with the remote control, looking at Xiao Ye and Cotton Candy in the car with a smile.
He was moved and quickly went downstairs, came to Ni Yang and hugged her.
Ni Yang widened her eyes in surprise. By the time she reacted, He Siyu had already let her go.
"What's wrong? Why are you hugging me so suddenly? Xiaoye and Ms. Ling are here."
"I'm sorry, I just suddenly wanted to hug you."
He Siyu had an expression as if he had made a mistake, feeling aggrieved and pitiful.
Ni Yang: “…”
Does she look fierce now?
This made her feel like she had committed a heinous crime. What's wrong with someone just hugging her? It's normal for a couple to hug each other.
She immediately put on a smile, took He Siyu's hand and said softly: "I don't blame you, just hug me if you want. You're so aggrieved and think I'm bullying you."
The moment Ni Yang took his hand, his mood was like fireworks exploding in the night sky, brilliant and beautiful.
Hmm with pleasure.
Ling Xi witnessed the whole thing from the side, with an expression as if he had been hurt, and a smile like an aunt.
Ono covered his own eyes with one hand and covered Marshmallow's eyes with the other.
"Shame on you, we're still kids and can't watch marshmallows."

In the evening, Ni Hao and Ling Xi strongly requested that the two stay for one night.
Ni Yang thought that He Si had to go to work tomorrow, so she was about to refuse.
The man smiled and said, "Okay, sorry to bother you then."
Ni Yang: “…”
She looked at He Siyu with a complicated expression. There was something really wrong with this man tonight. Did her uncle say something to him?
Weird, so weird.
His clothes are not here, and he has to go home before going to work tomorrow. What a hassle.
He Siyu lowered his eyes and glanced at Ni Yang's strange expression, and his happy mood instantly disappeared like bubbles.
How could he forget that Ni Yang was still reluctant to share a room with him?
The overwhelming darkness in his eyes was so thick that it seemed to shackle the air around him.
The corners of his mouth straightened until Ni Yang took him to her room on the second floor.
The decoration is simple and creamy, and the four-piece bed set is her favorite French princess style.
The room was also filled with a faint scent of floral and fruity fougere.
He Siyu looked out of place in his black suit.
Ni Yang turned to look at the man, "I don't have your pajamas here, but I have a boyfriend-style short-sleeved shirt I bought earlier. Do you want it?"
He Siyu's face was full of apology. "Did I make you unhappy? I forgot that we still have separate rooms. You can sleep on the bed tonight and I can sleep on the sofa next to you."
There is a double-seater apricot-colored fabric sofa in the room, which does not seem to be suitable for He Siyu with his long arms and legs.
Only then did Ni Yang realize that He Siyu's mental activities were really a mess.
"I'm not unhappy. There's nothing here for you to wear tomorrow. You'll have to go home and change into a new set in the morning. It's too much trouble."
After hearing the explanation, He Siyu felt better and said nonchalantly, "I can ask Uncle Zheng or his assistant to send me a set."
Ni Yang: "...Okay." She turned her head and glanced at the two-meter bed. "Sleep on the bed. The sofa is too small for you."
He Siyu reached the highest point of the Ferris wheel in an instant, and the view was full of beautiful scenery.
"Listen to Madam Crane."
