Chapter 160 Ruan Liuzheng's Protection
Seeing this, Xie Qingcen smiled barely audibly.
He leaned back lazily, raised his dark phoenix eyes slightly, and quietly looked at the back of Ruan Liuzheng who was charging for him.
His eyebrows were sparse, and there was not a trace of worry or concern on his handsome face.
He supported his forehead with one hand and looked quite relaxed.
Zeng Shuwan glanced at Xie Qingcen inadvertently and frowned slightly.
She pursed her lips, and a hint of disdain flashed across her eyes. Although she didn't want to admit it, but... the bastard who was watching the show was her own son.
She pinched her brows with a slight headache and said, "The Xie family is a big family. No matter how reasonable I am, I absolutely don't want to see my son hurt his blood relatives because of an outsider."
Zeng Shuwan casually changed her posture, and the corners of her lips raised an elegant arc, "Besides, he is my youngest son, a child I unexpectedly got in my old age, and my only son."
"No one wants to see their children killing each other, so do you still think I'm reasonable?"
Ruan Liuzheng's expression paused, and the strength she held on Fu Jingcheng unconsciously tightened.
She pursed her lips, and her cold almond-shaped eyes stared at Zeng Shuwan quietly, with a slightly complicated emotion in her eyes.
At a certain moment just now, she actually saw the shadow of her mother in Zeng Shuwan.
If her mother had not experienced Bai Xunan's cheating, if her mother had not died early, she would probably be an elegant woman like Zeng Shuwan now.
After all, her mother was all about manners.
Ruan Liuzheng's eyes dimmed slightly. She took a deep breath and said, "Maybe the image of you in my heart has indeed changed, but after hearing what you said just now, I have once again confirmed that you are a reasonable person."
"Aunt Xie, the right and wrong cannot be believed by my one-sided words, and I don't expect you to believe it. However... I still want to remind you that the grandchildren behind you, who you think are well-behaved and sensible, are actually just two greedy wolves in sheep's clothing."
After she finished speaking, her tone suddenly paused, and her cold almond eyes slowly fell on Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing, brother and sister, with a flickering look in her eyes, "They are not worthy of your love, Aunt Xie, and they are not worthy of you hurting Xie Qingcen for them."
Ruan Liuzheng held Fu Jingcheng in her arms, her back straight and her attitude neither humble nor arrogant.
However, she unconsciously stood on Xie Qingcen's side. She was seeking justice for Xie Qingcen, even though Zeng Shuwan's words just now were unintentional.
But she kept it firmly in her heart.
Upon seeing this, Zeng Shuwan looked towards Xie Qingcen with an expression that was unconsciously indescribable.
She has been the mistress of the Xie family for so many years, so Fu Zhiqing and Fu Yanci's little tricks are naturally not hidden from her eyes.
Even the moment Fu Zhiqing finished speaking, she guessed what the brother and sister were thinking.
It is true that no detailed information about Ruan Liuzheng's identity has been found, but after living for so many years, her judgment of people will not be wrong.
Ruan Liuzheng is definitely not the kind of person that Fu Zhiqing described. Ruan Liuzheng will not give up her dignity to seduce Xie Qingcen for a mere property.
And Zeng Shuwan also believed in Xie Qingcen's choice.
She just wanted to test Ruan Liuzheng's attitude towards Xie Qingcen and her ability to respond.
After all, since Ruan Liuzheng is going to become the mistress of the Xie family, she needs to attend various occasions, big and small, during which countless changes will occur. She must learn to face them and be able to handle and resolve them skillfully.
However, Zeng Shuwan had to admit that she was very satisfied with Ruan Liuzheng's reaction, but...
She raised her eyes to look at the person behind Ruan Liuzheng and shook her head slightly.
After all, he is my biological son. There is no point in saying more.
Zeng Shuwan sighed leisurely, "He is my son, I will naturally hold the bottom line. As for what Yanci and Zhiqing just said, I will still send someone to investigate."
After she said this with a hint of meaning, she suddenly changed the subject, "Today is not the time to talk about these things. Since this is your first visit, we should be more respectful. If you ask too many questions, it will only make our Xie family look bad."
Zeng Shuwan finished her words with a smile. She waved to Ruan Liuzheng and took off the jade bracelet on her wrist. A hint of doting flashed across her old face. "It's all Xie Qingcen's fault for not informing me in advance and not even preparing a gift."
"This bracelet was my dowry when I married Xie Qingcen's father. I have been wearing it all the time. It's not too shabby, but I hope you don't mind it."
Ruan Liuzheng's eyes widened, and she shook her head subconsciously, "No..."
Zeng Shuwan smiled slightly. She reached out and covered Ruan Liuzheng's lips, then put the bracelet onto Ruan Liuzheng's wrist with a somewhat forceful movement.
The emerald green bracelet looks very beautiful against the snow-white skin.
Zeng Shuwan nodded with satisfaction, "Don't refuse. No matter what, you and Qingcen are already married. As Qingcen's mother, I have to show my support so that I won't be looked down upon by some people."
She glanced sideways slightly, and although she didn't say anything, her meaning was very clear.
It is true that Fu Zhiqing is Xie Qingshu's daughter, but as a lady from a wealthy family, her natural belittlement and slander of Ruan Liuzheng just now still made Zeng Shuwan feel uncomfortable.
In the Xie family, especially in the current situation, Fu Zhiqing was just a junior. No matter what Ruan Liuzheng's status was, it was not her turn to make irresponsible remarks.
What should be known and what needs to be known, there will always be someone who will explain for Zeng Shuwan, but that person does not necessarily have to be Fu Zhiqing.
However, when Zeng Shuwan thought about her neglect of Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing over the years, as well as the deceased Xie Qingshu, she was unable to find any words to blame.
Fortunately, there is still time to correct it slowly, and the inner cultivation of a lady from a noble family will eventually be developed.
…
Fu Zhiqing had no idea about Zeng Shuwan's plans for her. All she could hear and think about was Zeng Shuwan comforting Ruan Liuzheng and the scene where Zeng Shuwan gave Ruan Liuzheng a jade bracelet.
Such a beautiful emerald green bracelet is obviously very valuable. It has never been in her jewelry box. Why should it be given to Ruan Liuzheng at a discount?
What's more, ever since she came to Xie's house in the morning, she has been trying to please the old woman. Even if she can't say that she has made any contributions, she has worked hard.
The old woman didn't give her a gift, but gave it to Ruan Liuzheng first.
She is obviously the one who is related to this old woman by blood, why?
Ruan Liuzheng is indeed a bitch. Even leaving the Fu family makes people feel at ease. It really makes her angry.
