Chapter 578: A Beautiful Girl in a Golden House
The old lady of the Xie family said very dissatisfiedly: "Girl, don't be afraid! If you have any grievances, just tell me and I will go home and deal with him. Men will always push their luck. Our Xie family will take care of you."
She looked at Xie Xubai impatiently again: "Move the camera over there! Let me see the little girl."
Xie Xubai obediently allowed the camera on his phone to capture Huo Sijiao's figure.
The old lady almost laughed out loud when she saw this handsome man and beautiful woman appear in the same picture.
What a pretty little girl, what a perfect match!
She quickly suppressed the upward curve of her lips and said with a stern face, "Xie Xubai, the men of our Xie family are responsible. Bring the girl back home to see her tomorrow, otherwise you will have to kneel in the ancestral hall."
Xie Xubai looked at Huo Sijiao helplessly.
Huo Sijiao's heart was in turmoil. She explained, "Madam, please don't misunderstand Mr. Xie. He and I are really not boyfriend and girlfriend."
"Ouch."
The old lady covered her head. "I have a migraine! Girl, I didn't hear what you said just now! I'll wait for you at home tomorrow. I'm an old woman at my age and no one cares about me... Butler, my head hurts! You must come home tomorrow... I'll make the decision for you. I'll make that brat kneel in the ancestral hall tonight."
The video call was disconnected.
Mrs. Xie hung up.
Huo Sijiao opened her mouth. Didn’t the old lady hear what was said just now?
She frowned slightly and looked at Xie Xubai: "I'm sorry, if I hadn't suddenly asked you to cooperate with me, the old lady wouldn't have misunderstood. Now..."
Special Assistant Ning suppressed his laughter and continued, "I guess the whole capital knows that our President Xie is pursuing you. It's no wonder that the old lady misunderstood. This is the Xie family's celebration banquet, and news spreads quickly. Miss Huo, why don't you go home with President Xie tomorrow and explain? Otherwise, according to the Xie family's rules, our President Xie will be in trouble."
Huo Sijiao felt a little uneasy. After hearing Ning Yuan's words, she felt as if ants were crawling all over her body. "Will the old lady really let you kneel in the ancestral hall?"
Xie Xubai had a smile in his eyes: "It depends on the old lady's mood, maybe yes, maybe no."
Huo Sijiao took a deep breath. Things had gotten out of hand!
Alcohol is really not a good thing. No wonder my brother has to control my sister-in-law from drinking.
Drinking will lead to mistakes. When you are drunk, you will not consider the consequences and will just act impulsively to vent your anger.
"That……"
Huo Sijiao considered it carefully, "Then I'll go home with you tomorrow and explain it to you. We can't let such a big misunderstanding happen."
Xie Xubai said gently: "Will it be too much trouble for you?"
"I'm relatively free lately, so it's no problem."
No one knew where Shen Xuanzhi had run off to, and Huo Sijiao felt a pang of distress in her heart.
She wanted to do something else to fill her boredom. "Mr. Xie, thank you for letting me stay in the presidential suite for a while. I'll check out tomorrow and go live with my brother and sister-in-law. As long as we keep our distance, the rumors outside should dissipate quickly."
Xie Xubai's eyes flashed: "Okay."
Huo Sijiao hesitated and said, "Then I'll go back to my room first."
"Go to bed early."
Xie Xubai's upright and clear face was full of calmness and composure.
Assistant Ning stood by and took out a business card. He coughed softly and said, "Ms. Huo, this is our CEO Xie's business card. If you have any follow-up questions, please remember to contact him."
"Oh, okay."
Huo Sijiao took the business card. It was clean and had no title on it, only a cell phone number and the name Xie Xubai.
The black and white ink style looks quite elegant.
Just like him, he always has the temperament of a calm and noble gentleman.
"Then I'll be leaving first. Goodbye."
Huo Sijiao waved her hand and walked quickly out to the corridor.
Ning Yuan looked at her back and shook his head: "Boss Xie, did the old lady and I cooperate well? Did we play a finishing touch?"
Xie Xubai glanced at him and said, "It's superfluous. It scared her."
Ning Yuan clicked his tongue twice. "Xie Xubai, I'm a little confused about what you're thinking. You said you liked her, but you didn't show any reaction. You said you didn't like her, but you let her use you to get angry with Pei Chun. You've got a beautiful girl hidden in your house, what are you thinking?"
"I don't have any ideas."
Xie Xubai asked, "Have all the guests in the banquet hall been entertained?"
"The important guests have already been properly sent away. Manager Pan will take care of the remaining guests. What? Are you in a hurry to go home and kneel in the ancestral hall?"
"Um."
Xie Xubai responded.
Ning Yuan looked at him again and again, something was wrong.
Something is really wrong.
Ning Yuan walked to the elevator entrance in the corridor and pressed the button for the underground parking lot.
Xie Xubai followed him all the time and got into the car without doing anything else.
Ning Yuan looked back from the driver's seat and asked, "Did he really leave like this?"
"What else? Do you want to stay and wash dishes in the hotel kitchen?" Xie Xubai asked back.
Ning Yuan touched his nose, stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the Xie Mansion in the city center. The old house of the Xie family was very simple and plain. The layout did not show luxury, but it was full of bookish atmosphere. It was obvious that it had a good cultural heritage.
It was completely dark.
The lights in Xie Mansion were bright.
Before entering the entrance hall, I heard a strong voice from inside.
"He's taking advantage of young girls outside. I'm going to teach him a lesson!" As he said this, he knocked over the teacup.
A gentle female voice comforted her: "Mom, Xu Bai is not that kind of person. Please listen to his explanation. Look, he is back!"
The old lady looked towards the entrance and saw a tall figure. She said unhappily, "Come in now!"
"Grandma, mother."
"Madam, hello."
Xie Xubai and Ning Yuan walked in one after another.
"Please sit down. You just came back from the celebration banquet and haven't eaten much. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare something for you." Xie Xubai's mother was a very gentle and virtuous woman from the south of the Yangtze River. She had a good temper and was a good cook.
"Thank you for your help, ma'am. I love everything you make." Ning Yuan said with a smile.
The old lady of the Xie family snorted coldly. She sat on the bright, warm sofa and looked behind Xie Xubai. "Where is she? Didn't you bring the girl home?"
"It's so late, she needs to rest."
Xie Xubai sat beside her and poured her a cup of heat-clearing and relieving scented tea. "Does your head still hurt?"
"It hurts so much. How am I supposed to go to the underground to see your grandfather if I can't see you get married?"
The old lady said angrily.
"If you don't find a girlfriend before the New Year, I will make Pei Chun marry you. By then, the elders of both families will have agreed that you will have to marry her even if you don't want to! A man from our Xie family cannot divorce his wife casually. You are tied to Pei Chun for life!"
She pointed at Xie Xubai and asked, "Tell me, what exactly do you think of that girl?"
Ning Yuan also held the teacup to hide the look of anticipation on his face, waiting for Xie Xubai's answer.
