Chapter 161 I can't stay out of her
Fu Zhiqing's eyes turned red with jealousy.
She slowly tightened her palms, and her beautiful eyes stared at the bracelet on Ruan Liuzheng's wrist, her eyes as dark as ink.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to suppress the jealousy in her heart, and said with a little dissatisfaction, "Grandma! Ruan Liuzheng is a fickle bitch, how can you recognize her so easily!"
Fu Zhiqing was very emotional. "Besides, she is just a cheap woman from the slums. How can she be qualified to enter the Xie family? Aren't you worried that she will bring disgrace to the Xie family in the future?"
She looked at Ruan Liuzheng with disdain and coldness. Her originally sweet voice now sounded extremely vicious.
If it was someone else, Fu Zhiqing would certainly not object like this, but that person was Ruan Liuzheng.
As a woman who had once been stepped on by her, she simply could not bear to watch Ruan Liuzheng stand in a position more noble than her.
She simply could not tolerate herself being inferior to Ruan Liuzheng.
Fu Zhiqing's eyebrows flickered, and her clenched palms trembled slightly. Her face was tense, and there was a hint of anger in her.
There was even a bit of viciousness mixed in, which made her look somewhat hideous and terrifying.
Zeng Shuwan was the person closest to Fu Zhiqing, and was also the first person to feel the changes in Fu Zhiqing's aura.
She frowned slightly, "Zhiqing! One's birth is not something that can be determined by oneself. A noble son was born in a poor family. How can you ruin a person's reputation without any reason just based on your own feelings?"
Zeng Shuwan's expression gradually became solemn. She pursed her lips and looked deep, "Let alone the fact that Liu Zheng is your uncle's wife today, even if she is just an ordinary visitor to the Xie family, she is also a guest of the Xie family."
"People are not divided into high and low status. Your rich and prosperous life today is the result of your ancestors' hard work and struggle for you."
She sighed slightly, looking at Fu Zhiqing's face which was similar to Xie Qingshu's, but she still couldn't bear to preach to her.
She closed her eyes and said earnestly, "If you were not born into a wealthy family, and if you were facing the same situation as Liu Zheng, would you be sure that you could do better than Liu Zheng?"
Fu Zhiqing received Fu Yanci's gaze, and she realized belatedly what she had just done.
Faced with Zeng Shuwan's not-so-harsh sermon, she slowly stopped talking.
It wasn’t that she realized her mistake, but today was the first time she and Fu Yanci came to the Xie family, and she had to leave a good impression on Zeng Shuwan, and she absolutely couldn’t act like a spoiled brat again, otherwise…
Fu Zhiqing pursed her lips, raised her eyes slightly and glanced at the silent Fu Yanci, her brows gradually twisted into a knot.
Although she didn't understand why Fu Yanci chose to endure, Fu Yanci was the brother she had respected since childhood.
Fu Yanci has always been smart and he has his own considerations.
Fu Zhiqing's heart sank, and her clenched palms suddenly loosened. She nodded, but the jealousy in her eyes did not dissipate at all.
She curved her lips and pretended to be well-behaved and said, "I'm sorry, grandma. Zhiqing is just too worried about you and my uncle. But Zhiqing believes in grandma's judgment. I won't be reckless again in the future."
Zeng Shuwan smiled with relief. She raised her hand and gently stroked Fu Zhiqing's smooth long hair, with a slight gleam in her eyes.
No matter what, this is the only bloodline left by her daughter, and she can only choose to believe it.
However, Zeng Shuwan's compromise does not mean that Xie Qingcen is satisfied. He is not a sick cat, nor is he a weak person.
Before he met Ruan Liuzheng, he could let Fu Zhiqing distort the truth as she pleased, because everything had nothing to do with him.
He could just stay out of it.
But unfortunately, he met Ruan Liuzheng, and Fu Zhiqing infringed on Ruan Liuzheng's interests.
Then, he would definitely not be able to stay out of it.
Ruan Liuzheng seemed to sense something. She frowned, glanced at Xie Qingcen with a slightly deep look in her eyes, and shook her head slightly.
She did not agree with Xie Qingcen speaking out. If Fu Zhiqing and Fu Yanci had the same status in Zeng Shuwan's heart, then she would definitely not stop him.
But the fact is that Fu Yanci and the other man clearly have a certain position in Zeng Shuwan's heart.
She didn't want Xie Qingcen to cause any unnecessary family disputes because of her.
There are many opportunities to teach Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing a lesson, so there is no need to worry about this moment. After all, Xie Qingcen is still Zeng Shuwan's biological son, and no mother would be willing to see her son go against her will for a woman.
Besides…
Ruan Liuzheng pursed her lips, and looked at Zeng Shuwan seriously with her cold almond-shaped eyes, with a hint of sadness flashing across her eyes.
She was destined to never experience the warmth of family again, so how could she destroy Xie Qingcen's warmth?
…
Xie Qingcen looked at Ruan Liuzheng, who was obviously in a bad mood. His heart sank and he slowly tightened his grip on Ruan Liuzheng.
If he was obedient, if he watched Ruan Liuzheng being ignored and slandered right under his nose, then he would not be Xie Qingcen.
Xie Qingcen curled his lips slightly, and a hint of comfort flashed in his dark eyes.
He crossed his legs and spoke slowly, "Do you agree with what you said? And, there's someone else you should apologize to, right?"
His eyes were deep, and the corners of his thin lips seemed to be smiling, but his attitude was unusually strong.
Ruan Liuzheng still failed to stop Xie Qingcen. She sat beside Xie Qingcen, a trace of helplessness flashing across her beautiful eyes.
But she wisely kept silent. She was Xie Qingcen's wife, and now her husband was standing up for her, so how could she be so ungrateful as to undermine her husband's efforts?
Moreover, all her kindness was to avoid destroying the mother-son relationship between Xie Qingcen and Zeng Shuwan, and she did not want them to become enemies.
But since Xie Qingcen didn't care, why should she think too much about it.
After Ruan Liuzheng figured it out, she raised her head slightly, a hint of coolness flashing across her clear almond eyes.
His face returned to its usual coldness.
On the other side, Fu Zhiqing, who had thought she had escaped the danger and was preparing to act coquettishly with Zeng Shuwan and try to get something from her, couldn't help but stiffen when she heard this.
She glanced at Xie Qingcen, who had a serious expression, slowly lowered her eyes, and unconsciously tightened her hold on Zeng Shuwan.
She is very clear about who her current backer is.
Fu Zhiqing bit her lip, her eyes slightly red, "Grandma..."
She shook Zeng Shuwan's arm slightly, with her head lowered, revealing only her furry hair, looking very aggrieved.
She was smart enough not to confront Xie Qingcen directly.
Everyone present knew what Fu Zhiqing was doing. Fu Zhiqing had not hidden it from anyone.
Zeng Shuwan looked quietly at the little girl beside her, her eyes dazed, and she seemed to have returned to the afternoon when Xie Qingshu was a child.
Every time she made a mistake, she would hide beside her like this, seeking shelter in a low voice.
