Chapter 489: Simply Avoid, Third Sister Arrives (Part 1)
The next day, Zhong Ziang still couldn't eat hot pot.
Because his uncle doesn't take him with him anymore.
Xie Dingyuan was ready to go out early in the morning with his small luggage bag. "Auntie Liu, I won't be back for a few days. Please keep an eye on Zhong Ziang for me. Call me if you need anything."
"Ah! In such a hurry? Do you have enough clothes for a change of clothes? I'll pack a few more..."
"No thanks." After saying that, he left without even calling the driver.
Aunt Liu muttered, "What's going on? Strange..."
Xie Dingyuan is a very organized person. In the past, whenever he encountered a situation where he would not be home for several days, he would tell Liu Ma in advance.
But right now it seems...
It seemed like a temporary decision.
When Zhong Ziang woke up and went downstairs yawning, there was no trace of Xie Dingyuan in the villa.
He looked around and ran to ask Aunt Liu, "Where is my uncle?"
"The gentleman left home early this morning. Seeing that he was carrying a suitcase, he must be going on a business trip."
"Gone?!" Zhong Ziang suddenly woke up from his sleepiness.
Aunt Liu nodded, not understanding why. "Yes."
"It's over..." Zhong Ziang scratched his hair, feeling very upset.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Suddenly, with a "pia" sound, he slapped himself in the face.
"I told you not to talk too much! I told you not to babble! You can't control me! You deserve it!"
Now that the news has leaked and scared people away, how should he explain to his third aunt?
Zhong Ziang's hair turned white with worry.
…
Xie Yunlan was on an early flight, so he lay flat in the cabin as soon as he took off and started to catch up on his sleep.
Just as I woke up, I heard a gentle voice coming from the side: "Aunt Xie, are you awake? Would you like some hot water?"
Xie Yunlan sat up and hummed softly when he heard this: "I'm a little thirsty."
The girl called the flight attendant and asked for a cup of hot water.
Soon, hot water was delivered and handed to the girl.
The girl then handed it to Xie Yunlan and said in a gentle and elegant voice, "The temperature is just right."
"Thanks."
"It's just a small favor. You're very kind."
After drinking the hot water, Xie Yunlan felt refreshed. He glanced at the time and said, "Shh... I slept for almost an hour?!"
The girl smiled and said, "I closed my eyes for a while, too."
Xie Yunlan patted her hand and suddenly sighed: "It's hard for you to accompany me on this trip."
"Look at what you said. Anyway, I have nothing to do at home, so I might as well go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air."
"The scenery in Linhuai is really nice. Find some time and ask Xiaojiu to take you for a walk along the river. The breeze will make you feel refreshed."
Zhuang Yawen's eyes flickered slightly, and her cheeks flushed pink. "Professor Xie is so busy, are you free?"
"Of course! No matter how busy you are, you can still find time for this. Don't worry, I'll tell him."
"Then..." The girl sat up straight, suddenly nervous. "What should I pay attention to? Is Professor Xie easy to get along with?"
"Xiaojiu," Xie Yunlan paused for a moment, "He has a lot of rules, but he's definitely not unreasonable. As long as you don't cross his bottom line, everything will be fine."
The girl breathed a sigh of relief.
"What? Are you scared?" Xie Yunlan looked teasing.
The girl shook her head. "Professor Xie is a pillar of our country, a true hero. I admire him so much, how could I be afraid of him?"
Moreover, Xie Dingyuan is the heir of the Xie family, the first of the eight wealthy families in the imperial capital. Just based on this identity, countless women will rush to him and fight for him until they are bloodied.
Zhuang Yawen had worked so hard to gain Xie Yunlan's favor and secured this opportunity. How could she possibly shoot herself in the foot?
Besides, although Xie Yunlan seemed to be complaining, he might not be willing to let outsiders comment on Xie Dingyuan.
To be on the safe side, she of course chose the good side.
As expected, Xie Yunlan was very satisfied, but...
"Don't go overboard worshipping him like a god. He's just an ordinary person, eating whole grains and getting a cold or fever occasionally."
"Is that so?" The girl smiled innocently and said in a soft voice, "I thought Professor Xie was Iron Man, indestructible and omnipotent!"
"Haha..." Xie Yunlan couldn't help laughing, "Silly girl, where in the world is there such a person?"
Zhuang Yawen half closed her watery eyes and pursed her lips shyly: "Oh! Please stop laughing! In my eyes, Professor Xie has his own aura."
Xie Yunlan's smile widened: "Having a halo is good. With a halo comes a filter. I was afraid that you would look down on him!"
The girl looked terrified. "How could that be? If anyone looks down on me, it must be Professor Xie who looks down on me..."
As she spoke, the light in her eyes dimmed and her expression became more uneasy.
Xie Yunlan comforted him, "No."
But I was surprised. Given Xiaojiu's personality, if he didn't want to, there was nothing I could do about him.
However, Xie Yunlan had important matters to attend to this time, and he was not here to worry about Xie Dingyuan's lifelong affairs. He just wanted to arrange a meeting between the two of them. If they could reach an agreement, then they could talk. If not, then forget it. He did not have to pair them up.
Therefore, he inevitably expressed reservations in his words and was unwilling to give Zhuang Yawen a clear promise.
Of course she is not qualified to give it.
As an older sister, it is true that I worry about my younger brother's marriage, but I will never use my status to force him.
After all, who is Zhuang Yawen?
In Xie Yunlan's heart, Xie Dingyuan's likes and dislikes are the most important.
In the following time, Zhuang Yawen could clearly feel the ambiguity in the other party's words. Her heart sank slightly, but she did not show it on her face. She continued to talk and laugh with Xie Yunlan.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the flight landed at Linhuai Airport.
As soon as the two of them came out of the domestic arrival hall, they saw Zhong Ziang who had been waiting outside the yellow line.
"Third Aunt! Here!"
Xie Yunlan took out her cell phone and was about to call Xie Dingyuan when she suddenly heard Zhong Ziang's voice. She looked up in surprise.
"Ang Ang?! Why are you here?"
"Of course you're here to pick up my dear Third Aunt?"
"Little rascal! Don't you have to go to class?"
"It's Saturday, thank you."
"Where's Xiaojiu?" Xie Yunlan looked behind him.
Zhuang Yawen, who was standing by, couldn't help but glance at him. At the same time, she did not forget to adjust her state, making sure to present her best side to the man.
Can……
After searching around, nothing was found?
Xie Yunlan asked for her: "Why didn't I see anyone?"
Well!
Zhong Ziang's scalp tingled. "Well, my uncle's been really busy lately. He seems to be working on some new experiment. How could he have time to pick me up at the airport? So, they arranged for me to come!"
Xie Yunlan nodded, expressing his understanding: "The work is important and can't be delayed. As for me, it's enough for us to pick up Ang Ang, right?"
Zhong Ziang quickly smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhuang Yawen was a little disappointed.
But she quickly adjusted herself. When she looked up, she met Zhong Ziang's gaze. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled back.
Zhong Ziang raised an eyebrow. Although he knew that this was the blind date Xie Yunlan had arranged for his uncle, he still asked, "Who is this?"
Xie Yunlan: "Let me introduce you to your grandfather Zhuang's granddaughter, the eldest daughter of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Yawen. She is five years older than you, so you should call her sister."
Zhong Ziang: "Hello, Miss Zhuang."
He doesn't call her sister, since they are not that familiar with each other.
Besides, she is applying to be his "aunt" while pretending to be his sister?
Tsk…
In that case, you should at least call her Auntie, right?
Still pretending to be young!
Looking at my uncle's attitude today, I guess Miss Zhuang is destined to be a cannon fodder on the battlefield, so it's better for her to be polite.
Of course Zhuang Yawen could hear the alienation in the other party's words, but it didn't matter. Once she dealt with the future heir of the Xie family, she would see how this little brat could act arrogantly.
If you don’t want to call me sister, then just call me aunt!
I have to say that Miss Zhuang is very ambitious.
"Then Aunt San, shall we go home now? The driver has been waiting outside for a while."
"OK."
Zhong Ziang obediently took the suitcase and asked as he walked, "What about Miss Zhuang?"
"This..." Xie Yunlan hesitated.
Zhuang Yawen's eyes flickered slightly: "Take me to the Shangfeng Hilton. I have booked a room in advance."
Xie Yunlan breathed a sigh of relief: "I was just wondering which hotel to book for you. I didn't expect you to have booked it in advance. Then let the driver go to the Hilton first."
Zhuang Yawen was stunned for a moment, but quickly returned to normal with a smile on her face.
She thought Xie Yunlan was struggling with whether or not to invite her to Xie Dingyuan's place. She was backing off in the hope that she would relent, but she didn't expect him to be struggling with which hotel to book?!
This was a big blow to Zhuang Yawen.
I originally thought that Xie Yunlan was very satisfied with me, but now it seems... it remains to be seen.
If Xie Yunlan knew what she was thinking, he would probably roll his eyes.
How could she bring someone to Xie Dingyuan's villa without his consent?
If you don’t even have this much sense of propriety, how can you be Xiaojiu’s sister?
I can only say that Miss Zhuang feels too good about herself.
