He Lingchuan looked at Cao Xue somewhat awkwardly, rubbed the tip of his nose, and nodded slightly: "I heard a little."
He looked at the person in front of him with a hint of helplessness and said softly, "Cao Xue, about what happened between us before..."
"Let's talk about our things after I'm better."
Cao Xue grabbed He Lingchuan's sleeve, blinked her big eyes, and looked at him expectantly: "I haven't eaten yet. I heard from my sister that you cook very well. I'm hungry."
He Lingchuan looked helpless, but didn't know what to say, so he could only keep the person there for now.
Just as He Lingchuan finished cooking, the doorbell rang.
He went to open the door, and Cao Wei stood angrily in the doorway, holding a coat in her hand: "Where is my sister?"
Just as He Lingchuan was about to speak, Cao Wei bumped his shoulder away.
She rushed in, looking around, and shouted Cao Xue's name: "Cao Xue, come out here!"
Her voice grew louder and louder, and He Lingchuan could clearly hear the anger in it. She followed behind Cao Wei, trying to stop her, but Cao Wei pushed her away.
"I just don't understand, what kind of spell did you cast on my sister? Why is she so fixated on you? She's so beautiful and so young, how could she have fallen for you?"
Cao Wei's face turned pale, and she stood with her hands on her hips, looking like a shrew.
He Lingchuan spread his arms to stop Cao Wei: "Don't shout here, your sister is in the kitchen."
Cao Wei took two steps back, her face even more unsightly: "My sister just had heart surgery, and you actually made her go to the kitchen to help? What were you thinking?"
"When did I..."
"Sis, don't blame Brother Lingchuan. I just went to the kitchen to take a look, I didn't do anything."
Upon hearing the noise, Cao Xue immediately ran out. She knew Cao Wei would make a scene, so she quickly grabbed her hand and pleaded, "I came here on my own initiative. It has nothing to do with Brother Lingchuan."
Cao Wei grabbed Cao Xue's hand and checked her over from head to toe, only feeling relieved after confirming that she was not injured: "Even at a time like this, you are still taking this man's side."
She pulled Cao Xue behind her and warned He Lingchuan fiercely, "He Lingchuan, I know you've been kind to our family. You helped us find a suitable partner, and we're all very grateful to you. But don't even think about repaying me with your body. My sister is still young. You're a divorced man; don't even think about making a move on her."
After saying that, Cao Wei looked at Shen Yanxi standing behind him and said, "Xixi, how can you not even keep an eye on your own husband? You watched Xiaoxue grow up, how could you do such a thing for your husband?"
When Cao Wei is angry, she doesn't care about anything and says whatever comes to mind.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanxi immediately straightened her face: "Are you blaming me?"
She originally wanted to complain to Cao Wei about Cao Xue, but unexpectedly they blamed her instead.
Cao Wei crossed her arms over her chest and remained silent, clearly angry with Shen Yanxi.
Shen Yanxi snorted coldly and recounted all of Cao Xue's actions during this period.
This included her constantly calling He Lingchuan.
Shen Yanxi's face was cold, and her eyes showed a hint of impatience as she looked at Cao Wei: "You can't even control your own sister, how dare you talk to me like that?"
Cao Wei's expression changed drastically. She raised her head, pointed at Shen Yanxi with a finger, and said with displeasure, "I didn't say much because we're friends. Don't bully me like this."
"It's because we're friends that I've tolerated it time and time again, but now that you've said what you said, I don't think there's any need for us to continue being friends."
Shen Yanxi clapped her hands, and the housekeeper immediately understood her meaning. She walked up to Cao Wei and nudged her, saying, "Miss Cao, please."
Cao Wei stood on tiptoe to look at Shen Yanxi, only to hear her cold voice: "Keep your sister in check. If I see her, I'll call the police."
The moment the door slammed shut, Shen Yanxi's gaze fell on He Lingchuan.
"Look at the trouble you've caused outside, what are we going to do now?"
Cao Xue is now determined to be with He Lingchuan. She has just graduated and is, to put it bluntly, a child who has not yet entered society. What could she possibly know?
She thought He Lingchuan was in love, but in reality, she was blind to his true feelings.
Unfortunately, college students have no shortage of perseverance, and Shen Yanxi could almost picture Cao Xue pestering He Lingchuan.
She felt irritated just thinking about it.
Shen Yanxi pointed at He Lingchuan and said sternly, "You must resolve this matter as soon as possible. If your family finds out that you are with a recent college graduate, they will definitely start gossiping again."
And the media, once they know about this, they'll definitely compare themselves to Cao Xue.
She already has two children, how could she possibly compare to a recent college graduate?
Shen Yanxi couldn't accept this outcome. She raised her head and ordered He Lingchuan, "You need to make things clear with Cao Xue tomorrow. If I find the two of you together, don't blame me for calling the police and saying you're deceiving a minor."
He Lingchuan stared wide-eyed, mouth agape: "Shen Yanxi, don't forget we're already divorced. What right do you have to tell me what to do? Are you going to sue me? Cao Xue is an adult now. Even if we were to get together, there wouldn't be any problem."
He Lingchuan looked at Shen Yanxi in disbelief. She was like a mentally disabled person, making him take care of the child was bad enough, but now she wanted to ruin his reputation.
"So, you really had that thought?"
Shen Yanxi stepped forward, closing the distance between the two.
Whether I am or not is none of your business.
He Lingchuan turned his head away, unwilling to even look at Shen Yanxi.
They were locked in a stalemate, and in the end, Zhou Mingyan had to pull them apart.
He watched helplessly as the distance between Shen Yanxi and He Lingchuan drew closer and closer, but in the end he couldn't hold back any longer. He stood between the two of them and said in a low voice, "Xixi, why do you care so much about him? Whether he's with Cao Xue or someone else, it has nothing to do with you."
Zhou Mingyan recalled the scene of Shen Yanxi and He Lingchuan standing together just now, and he was so jealous that he was almost going crazy.
He wished he could get He Lingchuan and Cao Xue together right now, to save himself some trouble.
"I said no, and that means no."
Shen Yanxi remained cold and unyielding, refusing to budge.
He Lingchuan found her words amusing. He turned his hands behind his back and didn't even glance at Shen Yanxi.
Watching He Lingchuan leave, Shen Yanxi grabbed Zhou Mingyan's wrist: "Help me find someone to keep an eye on him."
"How can I help you?"
Zhou Mingyan looked helpless and wanted to refuse, but then he saw Shen Yanxi's expectant eyes: "Didn't you have someone follow him before? Why are you using this method?"
Shen Yanxi said anxiously, "Can you help me see if he is with Cao Xue or not?"
