Chapter 1039: Deadly Enemy
"I'm afraid it's inconvenient to give you a ride, but I'll let the driver take you."
Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Shao Zining's eyes.
In the end, Xie Nancheng still couldn't send her off.
Shao Zining has been beautiful since she was a child. Over the years, she has never failed in her beauty tricks.
This time I was entrusted with a task, but unexpectedly, I ran into a wall right at the beginning.
However, since we are well prepared, it is not so easy to be discouraged.
Perhaps he was deliberately showing his disappointment for Xie Nancheng to see.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Mr. Xie." She was still polite.
Xie Nancheng asked the driver to take Shao Zining back to the hotel.
He rarely returned to the Xie family's old house.
Although it was the middle of the night, it still alarmed the whole family.
Pinggu heard the noise and stood up, "Master Nancheng, have you eaten yet? Do you want a midnight snack?"
"No need, go and rest."
"Should I tell the lady?"
"No need." Xie Nancheng walked upstairs a little tiredly.
But it still alarmed my mother.
"Nancheng, why are you back?" Mrs. Xie has been sleeping poorly and intermittently recently.
After her husband and son moved out one after another, she became even more restless.
Zhou Han was here with us before.
Zhou Han hasn't come for several days now.
She always felt that there was movement in the old lady's room, and she felt very oppressed.
Sometimes I even have to take sleeping pills to fall asleep.
In addition, the relationship between mother and son is not good now, so she is also very worried.
"Well, I just finished a social event and it's close to home, so I came back."
"Do you want to eat something?"
Xie Nancheng shook his head, "I'm not hungry, Mom, you should rest."
"I'm not tired, I want to talk to you."
Maybe people are more emotional at night.
Mrs. Xie was wearing her coat and rarely wanted to talk to her son.
Xie Nancheng smelled faintly of alcohol.
"Aunt Ping, go make some hangover soup for Nancheng."
"Yes, ma'am."
Mrs. Xie instructed the housekeeper to go to the kitchen to make sobering soup, while she herself was busy washing the fruits.
Even if Xie Nancheng told her not to do so, she wouldn't listen.
In the living room on the first floor.
There were several plates full of high-end fruits on the coffee table, placed in front of me.
Mrs. Xie kindly peeled an orange and handed it to her.
"Gongnan's ugly oranges, seasonal fruit."
"It was mailed from a distant relative. It's very sweet. Try it."
The relatives that Mrs. Xie was referring to were relatives of her Xu family, but they were all distantly related and had not seen each other for several years. Those people would contact Mrs. Xie intermittently over the years.
Sometimes it’s to borrow money, sometimes it’s to ask them to do something, but they’re all very small things.
Some even require work arrangements.
Mrs. Xie doesn't always grant requests, but she also serves different dishes to different people.
Among them was a distant cousin. Although he had not come to visit in recent years, he would continue to mail some bacon, sausages and even fruits during the New Year, so Xie Nancheng had some impression of him.
Xie Nancheng took the fruit and ate it.
"Nancheng, do you still remember your cousin Xu Liang?"
"I don't quite remember." Xie Nancheng replied.
"They are the two sons of Gong Nan's great-uncle. The eldest is Xu Lei and the second is Xu Liang."
Xie Nancheng lowered his head and ate the orange without responding.
"I have always kept in touch with this cousin of mine. He has been sending us local specialties and fruits by mail over the years."
"Recently, his adopted daughter graduated from college."
“I haven’t found a job yet.”
"The world isn't doing very well right now. There are so many college students, and the value of a college degree has depreciated."
"You know, even the 985 and 211 universities are not as popular as they were in the past."
Xie Nancheng just listened quietly without saying anything.
"Your cousin Xu Liang didn't have a very good life either. When they first got married, they couldn't have children. Later, I heard that the old man adopted a daughter. A few years later, he had a son, but he still raised the daughter and treated her as his own."
"After all, this boy is also a blessing brought by our daughter, right? We can't be ungrateful, right? And, that adopted daughter, the girl, is said to be very pretty, but I haven't seen her. Your aunt told me about it..."
"Mom, please get to the point." Xie Nancheng didn't want to chat with his mother, but he really didn't want to listen to these relatives who were not related to him at all, and didn't want to listen to their family affairs.
"Ah, that daughter. She's your cousin, after all."
"Although we are not related by blood, they are adopted."
"But your cousin loves her very much. He says that the child is very sensible and filial."
"She graduated from a teacher's college and just wanted to find a teaching job but couldn't find one."
"I was also rejected in the local civil service interview."
"So, I want to ask if I can be arranged to join our family group."
"Just give me a small staff position. It won't be too difficult for you."
"All the relatives know that our family business is very big, and they are all relatives. It would be bad to not give them this face. What do you think?" Mrs. Xie asked cautiously.
In fact, if it were before, Mrs. Xie would not have to be so humble and look at her son's face.
The turning point was that after she drugged her son, the relationship between mother and son plummeted.
Mrs. Xie naturally felt guilty and did not dare to make the decision on her own as she did before.
When Mrs. Xie received two boxes of ugly oranges today, she also received a call from her cousin.
What she meant was that her daughter hadn't found a job yet, and she was asking her if she could help.
All relatives knew that the Xie family was very wealthy in the north.
It would definitely not be good if you refused directly.
After all, one should be grateful to the person who brought him the food.
But he didn't dare to agree rashly, for fear that his son would still be angry and he would be embarrassed.
Originally, Mrs. Xie was planning to find an opportunity to talk to her son about it in the near future.
Coincidentally, Xie Nancheng came back today.
"Okay, no problem."
Seeing her son agree so readily, Mrs. Xie felt a lot more relieved.
"Okay, then I'll give him an answer tomorrow."
"Mom, don't associate with Zhou Han anymore."
"I've investigated the drugging incident."
"Although you took all the responsibility yourself, Zhou Han and her mother are also to blame."
"Nancheng..." Mrs. Xie was like a frightened bird. She didn't expect her son to suddenly bring up such a sensitive topic.
"Mom, the Zhou family has now taken refuge with Xie Yao."
Mrs. Xie was startled...
"I think Zhou Han didn't tell you?"
Mrs. Xie widened her eyes, and from her expression it was clear that she didn't.
"Mom, so, look."
"The goddaughter you have always been so satisfied with, the one you praised to the skies, has finally deceived you."
"After all, Zhou Han couldn't possibly be unaware that his family had joined Yuanhang Group."
"The Zhou family has now switched sides with Xie Yao and will be our enemy in the future."
"Mom, I hope you can distinguish between friend and foe. Xie Yao is my mortal enemy. It's a life-and-death struggle."
After saying that, Xie Nancheng turned around and walked upstairs.
"Nancheng...Mom is sorry for you." Mrs. Xie couldn't hold back her tears and yelled.
Pinggu was so scared that she almost spilled the hangover soup she was holding.
