While waiting for Taihe, Xie Xihe went to the Zhong family's guest room to change into everyday clothes.
As soon as I came down from upstairs, I met Su Jinhe at the stairs.
Su Jinhe also saw her. After a moment of surprise, he immediately smiled, greeted the people around him, and walked towards Xie Xihe: "Miss Xie."
Xie Xihe frowned and lowered his eyes, his expression cold: "What's the matter?"
Su Jinhe showed a guilty look and sighed, "It's because of Lin Ying."
Xie Xihe looked at him quietly without moving his brows.
Su Jinhe was delighted to see that she didn't leave immediately, and immediately continued, "Lin Ying was so ignorant that she tried to compete with Miss Xie. In the end, she was deceived and went bankrupt. It was entirely her own fault."
"I heard that she actually wanted to take revenge on Miss Xie afterwards and die together with Miss Xie. Fortunately, Miss Xie was very skilled and was spared from the plot."
"Lin Ying has now received the punishment he deserved, but whenever I think about this, I feel uneasy. It was because of my poor management of the household that Lin Ying's ambitions were fostered, causing Miss Xie to suffer such an undeserved disaster. Therefore, I have been looking for an opportunity to apologize to Miss Xie in person."
Suddenly he gave a bitter laugh and said, "Miss Xie, you may not know that Su has visited you many times with gifts, wanting to apologize to you in person. Unfortunately, he has never been able to meet you."
"I saw Miss Xie from afar at the Zhong family today. I should have approached her a long time ago. However, Miss Xie is now the eldest daughter of the Huo family. Her status and position are extraordinary, and her demeanor is even more extraordinary. Just by standing there, she is already the most dazzling presence in the whole place. I am too embarrassed to approach her!"
Su Jinhe shook his head, feeling lost.
Xie Xihe was somewhat disgusted and said expressionlessly, "So, you're not ashamed now?"
Su Jinhe's face froze, and he smiled awkwardly, "It's because Miss Xie is alone, and we just happened to meet, it's a rare opportunity..."
"This opportunity is rare, so you should seize it and make trouble, right?" Xie Xihe took over the conversation and waved to the servant standing beside him.
The servant was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and immediately stepped forward, saying respectfully, "Thank you, Miss."
Xie Xihe nodded, casually took the wine glass from the tray in his hand, shook it gently, and said casually: "Didn't you notice that the wine was swapped?"
The servant was stunned again, and then he thought of something and looked towards Su Jinhe: "Second Young Master Su!"
Su Jinhe was also startled, his expression changed, and he said with a forced smile, "Miss Xie, what do you mean? Why would I switch the wine?"
Xie Xihe: "Now I have to ask you, what do you want to do?"
Su Jinhe was captivated by the coldness in her eyes. He took a step back involuntarily and stammered, "I just want to apologize to Miss Xie. I don't want to do anything else. Did Miss Xie listen to someone's instigation and misunderstand?"
Xie Xihe had no intention of wasting words with him and simply handed the wine glass to him: "Drink it."
Su Jinhe's eyes changed drastically.
I wanted to say it but when I met Xie Xihe's cold gaze, I felt a wave of weakness in my heart, especially when I thought of the miserable state of Lin Ying that I saw last time, I shuddered suddenly.
If Xie Xihe were still just the eldest daughter of the Xie family, he could have flatly refused, but now she was the eldest daughter of the Huo family. Young Master Huo had even handed over the ancient secret techniques that the Huo family relied on for survival to her. The weight of such a status was far beyond what he or the Su family behind him could contend with...
Su Jinhe quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and at the same time, he said tentatively: "My third brother Su Jinchuan is Miss Xie's senior brother. For Jinchuan's sake..."
He stopped talking halfway through.
Just by looking at Xie Xihe's expression, Su Jinhe knew that there was no turning back.
Either drink or offend the Huo family, there is no third option.
Su Jinhe gritted his teeth, finally reached out to take the wine glass handed to him by Xie Xihe, and drank it all in one gulp!
That’s all!
Isn’t it just a glass of wine with elixir added? After drinking it, you will just be confused for a while, and it won’t cause any substantial harm to your body. Just drink it!
Su Jinhe thought angrily, but before he could finish his thought, his vision became blurry and he fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Before he fell into a coma, Su Jinhe vaguely felt the heat surging from deep within his body, as hot as fire, as surging as waves, so strong that it seemed to devour all his energy in an instant!
I was extremely terrified.
But he could do nothing anymore. The effects of the elixir were taking over, and his mind was in chaos.
Xie Xihe looked at him coldly. After a moment, he glanced sideways towards the shadow of the stairs and asked, "How long does Patriarch Su plan to hide?"
After a brief silence, a man in his sixties walked out from behind the stairs.
The head of the Su family seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. Meeting Xie Xihe's cold gaze, he subconsciously explained, "I... I didn't know anything... I just saw him walking this way and was worried that he might harm Miss Xie, so I followed him..."
Xie Xihe didn't say whether he believed it or not, he just nodded his chin in Su Jinhe's direction: "So, do you want to take the person away?"
The Su family head's eyes changed drastically, and he finally struggled and said, "For Jinchuan's sake..."
"For the sake of Senior Brother Su, Patriarch Su can take the person away." Xie Xihe said.
But after taking her away, Su Jinchuan had used up all his face with her, and the Su family would never be able to ask her for help again in the future.
The head of the Su family understood her unspoken meaning and his expression became stiff.
As his eyes shifted, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I warned him when he was trying to harm Miss Xie. If he dares to do anything, I will just pretend that I never gave birth to this son of his!"
"Since he insists on doing this, then it's his own choice no matter what the cost. I... I can't do anything about it!"
"Miss Xie, please go ahead!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the head of the Su family suddenly turned around and walked out as if fleeing. His steps were so fast that it seemed as if some ferocious beast was chasing him from behind.
Xie Xihe's eyebrows were indifferent, and he ordered: "Take it away."
Xuan San's figure emerged from the darkness, and with a wave of his long arm, Su Jinhe disappeared from the spot.
Xie Xihe did not leave, but stood there quietly, not knowing what he was waiting for.
A few minutes later, a staggering figure appeared at the door of the villa. When he saw Xie Xihe, his eyes lit up and he pounced on her without hesitation.
A knife strike landed on the back of Anderson's neck. Without Xie Xihe's instructions, Xuan Qi carried Anderson away.
They were heading in the direction where Xuan San and Su Jinhe had left earlier.
Xie Xihe's gaze fell on the last glass of wine with added ingredients, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and there was a wanton and cold look between his eyebrows.
Well, she has always been fair. Since everyone is involved, naturally no one can be left behind...
