Maybe I'm overthinking it.
Although Chen Li looked at her niece Wen Ying through layers of filters, she had to admit that some gaps could not be filled by filters.
Sakura wouldn't lie to her, it's better if she doesn't know her!
Wen Ying didn't feel guilty at all.
She didn't lie.
Didn’t Stephen Chow say in his movies that one cannot use the imperial sword of the previous dynasty to execute officials of the current dynasty? Putting aside her previous life, it was not the time for her to meet Xie Qian in this life.
It turns out that Xie Qian had already been in Chengdu as early as the summer vacation of 2004?
In his previous life, Xie Qian did not transfer to the same school until the second semester of his senior year in 2005, and became a classmate of Wen Ying.
Wen Ying didn't even know that Xie Qian and Teacher Lin had a relationship, because on this day in her previous life, Wen Ying was still in her hometown waiting for the release of her high school entrance examination scores. She didn't come to Chengdu, and she didn't follow her aunt Chen Li to visit Teacher Lin today. Naturally, she wouldn't meet Xie Qian by chance at Teacher Lin's house.
Perhaps Xie Qian has always been in contact with Teacher Lin's family, but Wen Ying has never had the chance to meet him.
According to the trajectory of her previous life, she would not meet Xie Qian until 2005... At that time, her aunt Chen Li had already divorced her uncle Deng Shangwei, sold the house in their current community and moved somewhere else.
When Wen Ying thought of this, she immediately became motivated and put aside the matter of her earlier encounter with Xie Qian.
Xie Qian is still alive, that's enough.
If she wanted to do something for Xie Qian, there was still plenty of time and she wouldn't be afraid of being too late.
Instead, Chen Li and Deng Shangwei's marriage is on the verge of hitting the rocks.
Wen Ying was full of fighting spirit: "Aunt, from now on, I will be uncle's secretary. Does uncle have any social arrangements tonight?"
Chen Li wanted to be serious, but she couldn't help laughing: "Do you know how to be a secretary?"
Wen Ying nodded affirmatively:
"Of course I understand, but my uncle has to cooperate with me. He can't just fool me because I'm young."
Chen Li didn't take Wen Ying's words seriously.
I've only ever heard that secretaries have to cooperate with their bosses, but how could a boss cooperate with his secretary? Wen Ying still has the mind of a child, and her words are so funny.
However, Chen Li did not discourage Wen Ying's enthusiasm.
It is normal for a teenage female student who has never been exposed to the adult world to have incorrect understanding of the workplace.
"Okay, you're the secretary and have the final say. I'll get Boss Deng's schedule for you when my aunt gets home!"
Wen Ying took Chen Li's arm and said, "Thank you, auntie. No, you are my boss's wife now. Thank you for supporting my work."
…
"Thank you, thank you, Master. Have some fruit."
"Thank you, Master. Tea."
Xie Qian sat on the sofa in Teacher Lin's house. This set of sofas was very high-end and was bought from abroad by Teacher Lin's husband. Some visitors would feel at a loss when sitting on such a sofa.
Xie Qian wouldn't do that.
The teenager sat down casually on the sofa, and the high-end sofa became his foil. It was not that Xie Qian was accommodating the sofa, but because of Xie Qian's presence, the high-end leather of the sofa instantly reached a higher level... Xie Qian lit up the entire villa. The nanny couldn't control her nervousness when talking to Xie Qian. She always felt that she was being rough in front of Xie Qian, and couldn't help but call Xie Qian "young master".
This title can only be heard in TV dramas nowadays. Reality is not the old society, and calling someone "young master" is no longer popular.
But the nanny didn't dare to talk to Xie Qian unless he was called "Young Master".
Xie Qian said thank you very politely, "Aunt Wang, you can call me by my name."
Nanny Aunt Wang smiled, but didn't listen to Xie Qian.
Lin Lin came down from upstairs with two bags. "It's just right that you came today. Your brother-in-law went on a business trip to the United States last month and brought you some gifts. I don't have to make a special trip here."
Xie Qian stood up and took the bag.
"Cousin, thank my brother-in-law for me. I won't be polite to him. When he goes to the capital, I will give him a good reception."
Xie Qian was only sixteen years old, but he spoke very appropriately. Lin Lin looked at her cousin with eyes full of pride. This was the prodigy of the Xie family. Although Lin Lin's surname was Lin and not Xie, having a cousin like Xie Qian seemed to prove that Teacher Lin was excellent herself. Lin Lin's mother-in-law was the vice principal of a key high school, her father-in-law was the general manager of a large publishing group in Chengdu, and her husband was also an elite who had returned from studying abroad. Such a family could definitely be called "cultured people" and their vision would certainly not be low. They would look down on wealthy nouveau riche, and those who caught their eyes were not ordinary people.
Lin Lin's picky parents-in-law and husband liked Xie Qian very much after only a few contacts with him.
Xie Qian's outstanding appearance and temperament are one reason, as well as Xie Qian's intelligence and propriety.
His personality is a bit cold, but when interacting with others, he will never make people feel uncomfortable.
Lin Lin sometimes feels that her cousin's perfection is unreal.
If we really have to find fault with Xie Qian, it would probably be his coldness.
No matter how well-educated and well-mannered one is, even in front of one's cousin, one lacks a touch of the human touch.
Lin Lin immediately burst out laughing.
What is she thinking about?
If Xie Qian had some worldly touch, would he still be Xie Qian?
Just like the gods in heaven, they may occasionally intersect with mortals, but they will not live with them for a long time.
Gods do not belong to mortals, and Xie Qian will not stay in Chengdu for long. The pace of life in Chengdu is slow and comfortable, but it is not suitable for Xie Qian. Lin Lin knows very well that Xie Qian's stage is not in Chengdu. He appears here just to accompany the elderly at home for recuperation.
"Is Grandma still adapting to the climate of Qingcheng Mountain?"
"Yeah, grandma likes it very much."
"I don't have classes tomorrow morning, so I'll go back with you later. I'll stay with you on the mountain tonight and return to Rongcheng at noon tomorrow."
"good."
Lin Lin sighed that only someone with Xie Qian's personality would have the patience to accompany the elderly to recuperate in the mountains.
Living in the mountains is lonely, which young person doesn’t miss the prosperity of the city?
Lin Lin packed two sets of clothes and some supplements suitable for the elderly, and went out with Xie Qian.
When the car drove to the entrance of the community, I ran into Wen Ying again.
Lin Lin had a good first impression of Wen Ying and couldn't help but joke with Xie Qian, who was sitting in the passenger seat: "You are so beautiful. The girl was stunned just now. Xie Qian, do you have a girlfriend at school? Tell me secretly. I will keep it a secret for you!"
Xie Qian felt helpless.
Following Lin Lin's gaze, Xie Qian glanced out the window.
He has been very handsome since he was a child. If he wasn't so aloof and reserved, he would have to spend 24 hours a day dealing with other people's affections, and he would have no time to do his work.
Xie Qian had met many people who fell in love with him at first sight, but the girl he almost bumped into at the door of his cousin's house just now was probably not one of them.
When she saw herself, her face was first shocked, then dazed, and seemed to be filled with nostalgia.
—Looks like she’s about to cry.
That's not love at first sight.
It's like looking at others through yourself.
A trace of doubt flashed through Xie Qian's mind. He was very sure that he did not know the other person.
