So that's what happened...
Xie Xihe's lips curved up slightly, and without saying anything more, he said directly: "Okay, let's go, I'll go with you."
After pestering for a long time but still not seeing Mr. Xie, the long-faced man lost his patience and said coldly, "We are looking for Mr. Xie. He is the maker of the elixir. What's the point of you coming with us?"
He insisted: "We want to see Mr. Xie!"
Xie Xihe also lost his patience and said impatiently: "My father has just recovered from a serious illness and is not going out for consultations. Either I go with you, or get out."
The long-faced man blushed, and after a while, he suppressed his temper and asked, "What about the prescription..."
Xie Xihe didn't even bother to answer and just walked past them and went out.
The four of them looked at each other, and saw that the servant of the Xie family quickly entered and closed the door. Xie Xihe had already walked away. They had no choice but to turn around and catch up with Xie Xihe.
*
Unlike most families who try to live as close to the main urban area as possible for convenience, the Zhong family built their old house on a mountain outside Beijing because most of the family members were in poor health.
Well... the kind where you buy an entire mountain and build a house.
Therefore, the Zhong family is really big.
Xie Xihe sat in the car of the long-faced man, Zhong Feng, the third master of the Zhong family's branch, and looked outside. He could only see trees passing by one after another. After nearly ten minutes, Zhong Feng's car finally stopped in front of the main building of the Zhong family.
The buildings of the Zhong family are all British in style. The main building is also a small British-style villa, where only the head of the Zhong family and Miss Zhong live.
But there are quite a few people in the building at this moment.
Miss Zhong's maternal grandfather's family, the Zhong family's side branch, and the Zhong family's servants filled the originally spacious living room.
As soon as Xie Xihe and his companions entered, they attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone knew what Zhong Feng was going to do. When they saw that he did not invite Mr. Xie but instead brought back a little girl who looked about the same age as Zhong Yuxiu, they immediately showed an unhappy look.
The second master of the side branch, Zhong Miao, was the first to speak, frowning and saying, "Third brother, what's going on? Where is Mr. Xie?"
Zhong Feng had known this would happen, so he reacted quickly. He replied, "Mr. Xie was hospitalized for illness some time ago and has just been discharged back home. He doesn't see outpatients, so..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhong Miao interrupted him. He said even more unhappily, "It's understandable that you don't accept outpatient consultations, but this isn't a question of whether to accept outpatient consultations or not."
"Now the eldest daughter of our Zhong family has had problems after taking Mr. Xie's medicine. We need him to explain the situation and provide a prescription to find a solution!"
Zhong Feng: “…”
How could he not know the situation? But the problem is that he can't even see the person, what can he do?
Zhong Feng knew his second brother's temper and didn't want to argue with him, so he simply stepped aside. After letting Xie Xihe pass, he said, "This is Miss Xie, Mr. Xie's daughter. She said she is responsible for this matter. Second brother, if you have any questions, just talk to her."
Zhong Miao sneered out loudly: "She's responsible? Tell her? Can she take the responsibility? Can you convince her? Third brother, have you taken the wrong medicine? Do you just do whatever others say?!"
She turned to look at Xie Xihe and said bluntly, "Miss Xie, right? The problem here is not something a little girl like you can solve. We are looking for your father. If you are willing, please help contact Mr. Xie and ask him to come over. If it is not convenient, we will send someone to invite him personally."
"As for you." He glanced at Xie Xihe indifferently and sneered, "Do as you please."
The implication is: Go back to where you came from, go wherever you want, just don't get in the way at the Zhong family.
Xie Xihe had a casual demeanor, with only a hint of icy coldness emanating from the depths of his pupils. He said coldly, "I've heard for a long time that the Zhong family is small and has few offspring, but at least they had two children before. What's going on? Did the eldest daughter of the Zhong family die? Now the second master of the Zhong family is in charge?"
"Not only the Zhong family, but even the head of our Xie family, the second master Zhong, wants to do it?"
The girl had a beautiful face, and seemed to be smiling, but anyone could see the coldness in it: "Let my dad come over, Master Zhong is so proud."
With every word she said, Zhong Miao's face became uglier. By the time she finished the last word, his face had already become gloomy.
But he didn't dare to say anything at this moment, because Miss Zhong's grandfather and others had already looked over, their eyes filled with deep displeasure, and said bluntly: "Apart from anything else, what Miss Xie said is true. My son-in-law and granddaughter are still alive, and the second master is so impatient to become the head of the Zhong family?"
"What's your intention?"
His eyes swept over the silent boy beside him, and his gaze became even colder: "Or are you unable to wait even a second longer?"
Zhong Miao's expression changed completely.
I didn't dare say a word more.
The others who wanted to raise questions immediately fell silent upon seeing this. Not to mention speaking, they didn't even dare to look at Xie Xihe.
I'm afraid that if I'm not careful I'll be considered to have ulterior motives.
Just when the hall fell into deathly silence, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the direction of the stairs. Soon, the thin figure of the head of the Zhong family appeared in everyone's sight.
The head of the Zhong family first looked into the living room, trying to find Xie Bowen, but he couldn't find anyone. Instead, he saw a very familiar figure.
That's... Xie Xihe?!
The head of the Zhong family's eyes immediately lit up. He pushed everyone away and trotted towards Xie Xihe.
"Ms. Xie, you're finally here. You don't know how many people I've sent to look for you at Xie's house, school, and company these past two days, but I've only missed you every time."
I just couldn't find anyone.
Seeing that he was about to start talking again, Xie Xihe suddenly felt a headache and interrupted him hurriedly, "Didn't they say that Miss Zhong has been unconscious for three days? It's urgent to treat her."
Yes, yes, yes!
Patriarch Zhong slapped his forehead and reacted immediately, saying quickly, "A Xiu is upstairs, and Patriarch Luo and Patriarch Luo are also there. Why don't we go upstairs and take a look together?"
Xie Xihe nodded: "Okay."
The head of the Zhong family breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stepped forward to lead the way.
It was not until the two figures completely disappeared around the corner of the stairs that the people in the living room came to their senses.
But they looked at each other, their hearts and eyes full of doubts.
What is this situation?
