"Then what am I still doing here? I might as well go home or just go abroad again," Luo Jinxiu said defiantly.
Putting everything else aside, Luo Heshan understands Luo Jinxiu quite well in this regard.
Her status made her inherently proud. She couldn't just quit a job she had taken on voluntarily. Even if no one criticized her, she couldn't get over the mental hurdle and would feel that she couldn't hold her head up in the Luo family.
Even when facing Qin Yiheng, there is a sense of intimidation that makes one think, "No matter how strong the opponent is, I will back down."
Since he knew she was just saying it out of anger, Luo Heshan naturally couldn't go along with her and continue talking.
“When you went abroad, I specifically instructed the housekeeper to take good care of you and cooperate with you. Perhaps he was a little too eager to make a name for himself,” Luo Heshan offered a good explanation.
Even through the screen, Luo Heshan could see Luo Jinxiu's tightly furrowed brows.
Luo Jinxiu asked him directly, "Isn't this what Dad meant?"
Luo Heshan chuckled slightly, his tone carrying a hint of a father's doting affection for his daughter: "What do you think I mean? Do you think I'd let a butler watch over my daughter? Or do you mean I don't trust my daughter?"
Such a topsy-turvy thing is really not something Luoheshan would do.
Now it was Luo Jinxiu's turn to feel a little embarrassed.
She seemed to have forgotten how angry she had just been, stammering and suddenly unsure of what to say, behaving like a little girl.
"Well... but I told the housekeeper before that he has indeed been using you to pressure me. I said that even when I called you to replace him, he wasn't afraid. So I thought... in that case, it wasn't you deliberately having someone monitor me, but just the housekeeper..."
Luo Heshan abruptly interrupted her.
"Go ahead and do whatever you want. I've emphasized the role of the housekeeper from the beginning: to assist and help you."
Luo Heshan looked like a "good father supporting his daughter".
“You’ve been abroad all this time, so you don’t know that when he was with the Luo family, he was a very competent butler. He did a great job in every aspect, which is why I sent him there… Perhaps the two of you are still getting to know each other. Let’s wait a little longer. If after some time you still feel that you don’t get along with him, Dad will find a way to help you adjust.”
You could tell from his voice that Luo Heshan thought highly of the housekeeper.
So, regarding the "adjustment," whether or not it will be adjusted, and how it will be adjusted, Luo Jinxiu was unwilling to think about it now.
Finally, Luo Heshan added, "It's really too much for him to talk to my daughter like that."
However, this statement was rather vague, and Luo Heshan clearly didn't intend to do anything substantial. So, having said all that, Luo Jinxiu naturally couldn't insist any further.
She put on a delighted expression.
"Since it has nothing to do with Dad, I'm relieved. I'll talk to the housekeeper again. Perhaps, as Dad said, he was a bit too eager for quick success and too impatient to show off, so he made a mess of things."
"Um."
Luo Heshan responded, but he also urged, "It's understandable that he's anxious. After all, you've been in Yuzhou for almost two months now. It's about time. The things that need to be done should be done. The Luo family still has a lot of things waiting for you. You can't keep wasting time in Yuzhou..."
Luo Jinxiu said jokingly, "Don't you still have the Luo family's affairs to handle? Why do you insist that I go back?"
As they were talking, Luo Jinxiu had already returned to Qiwei's apartment.
She opened the door and entered the house. As she stood in the entryway, the tempered glass door jolted her awake—she could see the incredibly fake expression on her face.
When did she stop trusting her own father?
She hadn't even noticed these subtle changes.
Realizing this, Luo Jinxiu was secretly alarmed.
Luo Heshan, of course, had no idea what she was thinking, and continued, "How old are you? The marriage can't be delayed like this forever. It's with the young master of the Yun family in Kyoto..."
Upon hearing her father say this, Luo Jinxiu immediately interrupted him, even raising her hand unnecessarily and waving it abruptly, completely forgetting that Luo Heshan could not see her.
The refusal was quite obvious.
"Stop, stop, stop! How did this get to my wedding? Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore."
Without waiting for Luo Heshan's response, Luo Jinxiu hung up the phone.
It was only because of her that no one else would dare to treat the head of the Luo family like that.
A large part of the reason she returned from abroad this time was that Luo Heshan asked her to arrange a marriage with the Yun family in Kyoto. She couldn't refuse, so she had to agree to come back and meet the young master of the Yun family.
However, before the two could even meet, Qin Yiheng's incident occurred, so Luo Jinxiu volunteered to come to Yuzhou, partly to avoid the blind date.
Unexpectedly, Luo Heshan hadn't forgotten about this matter and kept thinking about it, wanting her to resolve Qin Yiheng's situation quickly so she could return.
Therefore, I need to find a way to delay it further.
Actually, when she was a child, she had met members of the Yun family under the guidance of Luo Heshan.
However, as they grew up, the two families had very little contact because one lived in Kyoto and the other in Chengdu, and they had even fewer opportunities to meet.
She and the young master of the Yun family both had their own things to do and hadn't seen each other for more than ten years. She didn't know what they had become after growing up.
Logically speaking, the young master of the Yun family must be right.
With a noble birth and excellent family background, he himself should also be outstanding.
Luo Jinxiu had agreed to meet Luo Heshan before, thinking that perhaps some real feelings might develop under the arrangement of the marriage.
Although I know the hope is very slim, which is why I have some resistance, I also know that resistance is not very useful, so I also comply...
But now, her mindset is completely different.
Because she met Qin Yiheng.
Ordinary yet extraordinary—this phrase perfectly describes Qin Yiheng.
How many unknown aspects of him are there that he himself is unaware of or has not yet discovered?
It's like a treasure trove, and Luo Jinxiu is like an explorer, learning and discovering along the way, gaining a lot in the process.
Some things were expected, but most were unexpected.
If Luo Jinxiu were to assume Jiang Yan's identity, it would be even easier...
Thinking of this, Luo Jinxiu clenched her fists secretly.
Why!
She had previously fantasized that if she could let her father know what kind of person Qin Yiheng was, it would be best to win him over to her side, thus helping the Luo family as well.
She also took the opportunity to make arrangements regarding Qing Lingfeng's trip.
