Xiao Nan described it very clearly, and Xu Zhaoyue immediately remembered. She suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember now. Because I won the horse riding game, Yan Qi was unhappy and invited us to shoot. I was originally thinking of just losing to her as a token gesture."
"I won later?" Xu Zhaoyue only remembered the general idea. Logically speaking, she wouldn't be so high-profile at someone else's birthday party. She should at least give way a little.
"She won. Miss wanted to let her win, but there were so many people playing there. Miss Chen didn't know how to play and missed the target. She saw this and made sarcastic remarks. Miss couldn't stand it, so she beat her."
After Xiaonan explained the reason, Xu Zhaoyue finally understood. "No wonder she always says sarcastic things to me every time we meet. I've forgotten where we started this feud." Xu Zhaoyue laughed out loud when she remembered the reason.
After hearing this story, Yue Lanxing thought to herself that this was indeed the young lady's style, no wonder Miss Chen and the young lady had such a good relationship.
Xu Zhaoyue and Xiao Nan laughed for a while before noticing that Yue Lanxing was still standing there; the two of them had been too engrossed in talking about the past.
"Alright, Lanxing, you can go back now. Tomorrow..." Xu Zhaoyue hadn't finished speaking when there was a knock on the door, "Knock knock knock."
Yue Lanxing looked up at the young lady. Who would be knocking at this hour? After receiving a signal from the young lady, he opened the door. "Butler Yue?" The person who came in was a maid from the villa. She glanced inside and saw that the young lady and Sister Xiaonan were both there.
"Young Miss, Master is back. He wants you to go to the Guiting Villa to discuss something with you." The maid didn't come in, but simply delivered the message at the door.
"Alright, you may leave." Xu Zhaoyue agreed. Sending someone to find her at this hour after just returning meant it must be something important. "Is Master going to talk to Miss about the drugging?" Xiao Nan asked excitedly, believing the Master's return would surely be to stand up for Miss.
"Who knows? Let's go take a look. Lanxing, you come too." Xu Zhaoyue led the two of them to the Guiting Villa.
"Miss, you've arrived. Master is waiting for you in the study. Please go upstairs yourself." Butler Xu came to greet Xu Zhaoyue.
Xu Zhaoyue saw servants moving things downstairs, so it seemed she was going to stay for a while. But what was the urgent matter that they wanted to see her about? "Alright, I'll go by myself. You two wait here." After instructing them, she went to the study.
Seeing that the young lady had already entered the study, Butler Xu turned his gaze to Yue Lanxing. "How are you feeling? I heard you were hospitalized." He then patted Yue Lanxing's shoulder, thinking that someone her size shouldn't be hospitalized.
After spending some time together, Butler Xu had developed a teacher-student relationship with Yue Lanxing. Who wouldn't like a smart, studious, and respectful student? Butler Xu usually didn't dare to chat with anyone, so he naturally thought about Yue Lanxing since he would come over to talk to him from time to time.
"I just drank the wrong thing, but I'm fine now. I've already finished reading the books you gave me last time, and I'll bring them to you next time I come over." Yue Lanxing changed the subject.
"Oh, what a coincidence! I've prepared a few more books for you. Let's go to my place and chat. Xiao Nan, feel free to wander around. There are some snacks over there, so please help yourself." Butler Xu pulled Yue Lanxing away.
"Alright, you all can chat all you want." Xiao Nan started strolling around the hall, lending a hand from time to time. The servants would often gather together to chat when they had nothing to do, and Xiao Nan knew them all.
In the study upstairs, Xu Zhaoyue finally understood her father's purpose. "Father, Xiaohao likes screenwriting now. If we make him study management, won't that make him rebel?"
“What future can a screenwriter have? He doesn’t even manage our family’s big business, why does he want to be a screenwriter? You’re his sister, you can’t just watch him be so useless.” Xu Guangcai was exasperated.
Hearing his words, Xu Zhaoyue felt a chill in her heart. Although she had guessed it, she was still a little upset, but she didn't show it and just agreed with her father, saying, "Yes, yes, that makes sense."
“But Xiao Hao has always been stubborn. What if he doesn’t listen to reason?” Xu Zhaoyue looked helpless, as if she had already decided that she couldn’t persuade Xu Zhaohao.
Xu Guangcai didn't think so. Xu Zhaohao listened to his older sister, so how could he not be persuaded? "As long as you persuade him, Zhaohao will definitely listen to you. It just depends on whether you put your heart into it. I believe you can succeed."
“Okay, I’ll go talk to Xiao Hao tomorrow.” Xu Zhaoyue didn’t want to argue with him anymore, so she agreed directly. “I will try my best to persuade him. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back.”
Xu Guangcai was about to nod and let her leave, but then he remembered what happened that morning. "Wait a minute, didn't someone come to see you this morning?"
Seeing that he had brought this up on his own initiative, Xu Zhaoyue obediently nodded and said, "There is someone who said that someone wanted to poison the pharmaceutical company, and I have already ordered people to take strict precautions."
“Now that you know, you need to be more careful. The Xu family started out in the Chinese medicine business, so you need to be cautious in this regard.” Xu Guangcai said some empty words first, then hesitated for a moment before getting to the point. “The bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow. If someone tries to sow discord between you three siblings, you can’t fall for it.”
"Yes." Xu Zhaoyue agreed, but in her heart she was thinking, who are the three siblings? Who else is stirring things up? Isn't it just him, the father, who is causing trouble openly and secretly?
Seeing Xu Zhaoyue's dry, curt statement, Xu Guangcai felt as if his words were stuck in his throat. After a while, he sighed and said, "Sigh, you're the eldest, so you need to put more effort into the company from now on. Look at the second eldest, he works overtime every day. If he's not smart enough, he should work harder."
