Chapter 21 It took him eight years to finally get closer to Yu Zhiwan

Xie Yunzhou didn't know why his brother liked Yu Zhiwan, nor did he know what happened between his brother and Yu Zhiwan.

But unfortunately, at that time, many boys in the school wanted to pursue Yu Zhiwan. Although Yu Zhiwan came from a poor family, was cold and aloof, and kept to herself, she was really beautiful, a good student, and ranked first in the grade, so she never lacked suitors.

Moreover, Yu Zhiwan’s reason for rejecting people was always the same: no dating at school, no violation of school rules, and no agreement to anyone’s pursuit.

So his brother didn't pursue her openly at the beginning.

When Xie Yunzhou found out that his brother had a secret crush on someone, he was completely shocked.

Secret love?

His brother actually had a crush on someone with that face?

What a waste of resources!

But there was no way. At that time, Yu Zhiwan was really determined and no one could stop me from studying hard.

Xie Yunzhou was very confused at the time. Yu Zhiwan was already the top student in the grade, with a score far ahead of the second place. Why was he still working so hard?

But his brother saw right away that Yu Zhiwan studied so hard because he wanted to get a scholarship every year to ensure that he would not be forced to drop out of school by his father, finish high school smoothly, and then get into college, step by step getting rid of that suffocating family.

So, his brother helped Yu Zhiwan teach her gambling father a lesson, so that the gambling father would never dare to use violence against Yu Zhiwan again;

He also quietly funded Yu Zhiwan through her aunt, allowing her to live a better life;

These are only what Xie Yunzhou knows.

And in those unknown places, his brother did many other things.

Later, something unexpected happened. Yu Zhiwan was discovered to be the real daughter of the Yu family and was recognized by the Yu family.

His brother has always been disdainful of the engagement with the Yu family and has repeatedly asked his grandfather to cancel the engagement. Now he finds out that Yu Zhiwan is his real fiancée.

It's like a new hope after a dark period.

Xie Yunzhou was truly happy for his brother.

As a result, a few days after Yu Zhiwan returned to the Yu family, he said in person: I don’t like Xie Jingmo, I don’t want to fulfill the engagement with Xie Jingmo, and I want my sister Xiangxiang to marry Xie Jingmo.

Xie Yunzhou was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that his brother fell in love with someone for the first time in his life. He hadn't even started a relationship or confessed his feelings yet, but he already broke up.

Xie Yunzhou thought his brother would give up.

In fact, his brother was indeed lonely and depressed for a while.

But later on, he was still secretly treating Yu Zhiwan well, and actually... was still secretly in love with Yu Zhiwan.

He even found out which university Yu Zhiwan wanted to apply to. Instead of going abroad, he applied to the university Yu Zhiwan wanted to attend, which was the top university in the country.

Later, Yu Xiangxiang fell ill and took a leave of absence from school. Yu Zhiwan also took a year off from school, reportedly to take care of Yu Xiangxiang.

After Yu Zhiwan took the college entrance examination, he actually changed his choice of major and did not apply to that university.

His brother didn't know why Yu Zhiwan suddenly changed her major, but he believed in her unconditionally and believed that she would not give up her goal easily. It must be out of helplessness.

Fortunately, the two schools were not far apart, only separated by a street. When Yu Zhiwan was a freshman, his brother was already a junior and often went to Yu Zhiwan's school.

At first, everyone thought that his brother was going to date his girlfriend, and the rumor spread very widely. Xie Yunzhou was speechless. If Yu Zhiwan heard that his brother had a girlfriend, then his brother would have no hope.

Fortunately, his brother clarified it very quickly. He said he was going to see a friend, but in fact, he was using the excuse of seeing a friend to secretly take a look at the girl he had a crush on...

Xie Yunzhou thought about the past few years, and the orange in his mouth tasted sour and astringent.

Fortunately, now Yu Zhiwan agrees to marry his brother.

It took his brother eight years to finally get closer to Yu Zhiwan.

However, it seemed to him that Yu Zhiwan had no romantic feelings for his brother.

The orange in Xie Yunzhou's mouth instantly became more sour...

The old man and the old lady were still happy about their grandson and granddaughter-in-law getting their marriage certificate. The smiles on their faces never faded. They asked the housekeeper to bring the betrothal gift list.

"Wanwan, even though you and Jingmo have already obtained your marriage certificate, the proper ceremony still needs to take place. These betrothal gifts were prepared by our grandparents together. Take a look and see if you like them!"

The betrothal gift list was a thick volume, with festive red paper sprinkled with gold, and it looked grand and formal.

Yu Zhiwan was surprised. Why was there a betrothal gift?

Xie Yuntang and Xie Yunzhou were twins, their behavior was in perfect sync. They both came forward curiously, "Wow, sister-in-law, come and see what we have!"

Yu Zhiwan first glanced at Xie Jingmo.

Xie Jingmo was obviously pleased with her subconscious dependence. With a smile on his face, he squeezed her hand soothingly, and then helped her open the betrothal gift list.

Yu Zhiwan lowered his eyes and looked.

There are a lot of properties listed alone.

There are two manors of different styles, four villas, and two river view rooms.

And a private island.

There are also several shops, two jewelry stores, and two auction houses.

These were all directly credited to her.

In addition to sports cars, there are also various luxury jewelry, gold and silver jewelry, diamond jewelry, pearl jewelry and so on.

And these are just a few.

What comes later are more about equity and funds.

Given the huge size and development trend of the Xie Group, even just 1% of the shares would mean a steady flow of huge wealth.

Yu Zhiwan suddenly felt that the betrothal gift list in her hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

This is really too valuable.

She looked at Xie Jingmo with a headache and secretly gave him a look. She felt unworthy of it, so how could she have the nerve to accept it?

What's more, she is not Xie Jingmo's real wife, and they will eventually get divorced.

Xie Jingmo knew what she was thinking at a glance, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became cold.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yu Zhiwan gave him another anxious look, asking him to help her quickly.

Xie Jingmo received her signal, turned to look at his grandparents, and said slowly: "I think it's not enough, we need to add a little more."

Yu Zhiwan was instantly like: “???”

What did he say???

When the old man and the old lady heard what Xie Jingmo said, they immediately smiled happily: "Good, good, good!"

No amount of betrothal gifts is too much for my granddaughter-in-law.

I don’t ask for anything else, I just hope Wanwan won’t be wronged!

Then the old man, the old lady and Xie Jingmo added several more pages to the already glittering betrothal gift list.

Yu Zhiwan stared at someone's back with a resentful look on his face.

Why is he like this?

Noticing the girl's resentful gaze, Xie Jingmo turned around and asked innocently, "What's wrong?"

Yu Zhiwan: “…”

After looking at the betrothal gifts, the old lady asked the servant to bring up a potted plant. What was unique was that this potted plant was a persimmon tree made of pure gold.

The trunk and branches are made of pure gold, and the red persimmons hanging on the treetops are made of polished Hetian red jade.

It is red and round, looking cute and festive.

The old lady took Yu Zhiwan's hand affectionately and said, "Wanwan, this is a small item that grandpa and grandma saw at an auction abroad yesterday. We thought it was interesting, so we bought it and gave it to you."

"I hope that after Wanwan gets rid of those people from the Yu family, her future life will be smooth, safe and smooth, and everything will go as she wishes."

Yu Zhiwan's eyes became hot and she couldn't help but feel sad.

When she returned to the Yu family at the age of 16, her grandfather, Old Man Yu, was still alive. He was very kind to her and was the only person in the Yu family who treated her well.

But the good times didn't last long. Half a year later, my grandfather fell ill and died.

Since then, no elder has ever held her hand so earnestly and said such thoughtful words to her, with every word expressing the hope for her well-being.

The old lady said it was a small item, but just looking at the pure gold and Hetian red jade, you could tell that it was bought at a high price.

"Thank you grandma, thank you grandpa." Yu Zhiwan's throat was choked and there was a hint of sob in her voice.

"Good girl, we're family, so why bother saying thank you?" The old lady caressed her cheek lovingly. Not wanting to make her sad, she smiled and said, "There's also a sapphire necklace. I thought it was beautiful, too, so I took a picture of it. It's also a gift for Wanwan!"

Xie Yunzhou, the chatterbox, also joined in to liven up the atmosphere: "Grandma, you and Grandpa took a picture of this gift for your sister-in-law, so what did you take a picture of for my brother?"

I’m afraid the air will suddenly become quiet.

The old man and the old lady looked at each other.

Oops, I forgot about my grandson!

The old man tapped his cane and coughed heavily: "Don't mention other things when you are so happy."

Xie Jingmo: "..."

Xie Yunzhou: “…”

Well, he only cares about his grandson's wife and forgets about his own grandson!

Xie Jingmo raised his eyebrows, but didn't care.

He took Yu Zhiwan's hand and looked down at her, his peach blossom eyes filled with a lazy smile.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Our Wanwan is just so lovable and deserves everyone's love."

Such a matter-of-fact tone.

Such straightforward praise, as if she was the best and most precious person in the world.

It seemed that in his perception, she was meant to be loved...

Yu Zhiwan's heart suddenly tightened, and her heart suddenly felt soft, like a carbonated drink with small bubbles. Her watery eyes stared at the man in a daze.

She found that Xie Jingmo seemed to always praise her, praising her from time to time...

Just then, a servant came running in to report, "Master, Madam, Yu Changde and Tao Shuqin are here! They're just outside the gate now, and they said they came to visit specially!"
