Chapter 67 Half Sisters
Xie Jingyao was not stupid either. Hou Weikun's nervous look made him think of the men who were entangled with Li Qianxi.
His eyes flickered slightly, and he asked casually, "Why are you so nervous about Li Qianxi?"
After he reminded her, Mrs. Xie quickly realized, "Yes, Weikun, when did you become so familiar with Qianxi?"
When Duanrao heard the name, his eyes showed understanding.
[He is indeed one of Li Qianxi's lickers, but he is not even a fish in the mermaid pond, at most he can only be considered a small shrimp. ]
Although it was just a small shrimp, it played a significant role at the critical moment.
Hou Weikun is the son of a cousin of Mrs. Xie. This cousin met the wrong person and married a scumbag. He finally divorced successfully after much hardship.
Mrs. Xie felt sorry for her and helped her out since they were relatives. After a few visits, the two families gradually became familiar with each other.
However, what Mrs. Xie didn't know was that this young man who often visited their home and called her "aunt brother" affectionately had been particularly jealous of Xie Jingyao since he was a child. He was jealous of his happy family, reliable father, excellent resources, excellent grades, and... his gentle and kind fiancée.
Hou Weikun's jealousy of Xie Jingyao reached its peak after he met Li Qianxi and fell in love with her.
In his heart, Li Qianxi is a pure goddess, compassionate and kind-hearted. She treats even a useless person like him with gentleness and without any disgust.
As a mortal, he didn't dare to dream of pulling the goddess into the mortal world, but why did Xie Jingyao have such good luck?
Jealousy blinded his eyes and completely distorted his resentment towards Xie Jingyao into hatred.
Therefore, when he learned that Jiang Yiming wanted to deal with the Xie family, helped Li Qianxi to cancel her engagement with the Xie family, and tried to occupy the moral high ground, Hou Weikun stabbed the Xie family who had helped them overcome the greatest difficulties without any psychological burden.
Du Yuxi: “…” The reason for the betrayal is hard to explain.
But when I thought about it, this person admired Li Qianxi like a goddess, it seemed absurd yet reasonable.
The more Du Anrao looked at Xie Jingyao, the more he felt like an innocent person.
[What Hou Weikun didn't know was that Li Qianxi was so kind to him not because she was kind and treated everyone equally. She just wanted to show her gentleness and generosity to the Xie family and win their favor. Once the Xie family fell, he would be useless as an accessory. The most pitiful one was a certain unlucky fiancé. It was obviously Li Qianxi who wanted to break off the engagement, but in the end he was accused of being fickle. It was really shocking to think about it.]
Du Yuxi subconsciously looked at Xie Jingyao, but Xie Jingyao seemed to feel her gaze and turned to look at her.
Their eyes met again unexpectedly, just like the first time they met.
It's just that this time when their eyes met, both of them felt a little more inexplicably subtle because of the engagement.
Hou Weikun did not notice this little episode. He looked at the inquiring gazes of the mother and son from the Xie family, and cold sweat kept pouring down his face.
"I... I am worried about you, cousin. Qianxi is your fiancée, and we will be a family in the future. Now that the news is spread so badly, doesn't your cousin want to help Qianxi explain it?"
After Hou Weikun said this, Xie Jingyao looked at him with a bit more understanding.
Hou Weikun was frightened by this, thinking that his little thoughts had been seen through.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Xie Jingyao replied calmly: "My fiancée is my mother's good friend, the biological daughter of Mrs. Li's second wife, Su Yingrong."
Hou Weikun's heart skipped a beat, and he almost forgot to cover up his anger. He raised his voice and asked, "Cousin, what do you mean?"
"Literally?"
The literal meaning...that is to say, if Li Qianxi is really the daughter of the Li family and his fiancée, it is natural for him to protect her.
But if she was not, and the woman who looked very similar to Mrs. Li Er was, then his fiancée would no longer be Li Qianxi, and he would have no need to continue to protect her.
Hou Weikun subconsciously turned his head to look at Mrs. Xie, hoping to hear some different answers from her, but found that she had a serious expression and had never refuted Xie Jingyao from beginning to end.
Realizing this, Hou Weikun's face twisted for a moment.
How could these two people treat the treasure he worshipped like a god like this? They really deserved to die, all of them deserved to die!
As soon as Duanrao saw his expression, he knew what he was thinking and felt that something was not right with this man.
Maybe he was not a good person before he met Li Qianxi, but at least he still had some bottom line.
But now the existence of Li Qianxi has further magnified the evil in his heart and greatly lowered his bottom line.
Ye Mengzhen noticed something else, and exclaimed with wide eyes: "Fiancée? That man is Li Qianxi's fiancé whom my brother met before? The one from the Xie family?"
"...Well, it should be him."
"So he could potentially become your fiancé now?"
Du Yuxi looked away and shook her head, saying, "The Li couple have long passed away and left no DNA samples. The same goes for my mother, who is nominally a human trafficker."
Although it was unclear why the Li family concealed the DNA samples of Su Yingrong and the other person, but judging from their attitude towards him just now, it was not that they did not want to recognize her, but that they had other plans.
In this case, she might as well make the matter public to see if it plays into someone's hands.
Ye Mengzhen was stunned: "That is to say, now we can't confirm whether you two really took the wrong baby?"
"You could say that."
"I don't care." Ye Mengzhen suddenly held Du Yuxi's hand, "I think you are the child of the Li family. So you must snatch Li Qianxi's fiancé and vent my anger on my brother. If you succeed in this, you will be my half-sister from now on!"
Du Yuxi: “…” Thank you for the invitation. I have my own good sister, so I won’t take advantage of you.
It has to be admitted that Li Qianxi's efforts to manage her reputation over the years have been somewhat effective, and she has many supporters such as Hou Weikun.
Although most people were detained by the elders in the family who had keenly sensed that something was wrong, and did not dare to go up and cause trouble for Du Anrao and the others, the cold gazes they cast from time to time still made Du Yuxi a little disturbed.
Du Yuxi couldn't help feeling guilty, especially when she thought that it was because of her that Du Anrao had to be treated differently by others when he attended the banquet for the first time.
Anyway, we have already met each other, talked about most of the things, and the goal has basically been achieved.
So he turned around and asked Duan Rao who was eating cake: "Do you want to go back?"
Duan Rao looked up from his plate of canapes, bewildered.
【no!!!】
Du Yuxi: ???
