Chapter 625: Playing Hard to Get
"Yes, Aunt Chunxiao is right. With you in charge, Second Aunt knows many ladies, so why worry about the news not being able to spread?"
"Okay, Chunxiao and I will take this mission, just wait and see!"
Xia Xin was really eager to try it this time, as this was a long-term task.
"You have to monitor Zhang Xuetao, but you can't let the people around him find out. Even if he is not careful, the people arranged by Marshal Zhang to be around him are not vegetarians. Otherwise, he was dating that nurse, and my father didn't find out, but you found out."
Ripple reminded.
"It's because the eldest sister is kind-hearted. She goes to the church hospital from time to time to donate some food and old clothes to the orphans who have lost their parents. We took turns going there twice, and then we heard what the nuns there said. However, they didn't know that Zhang Xuetao was the young lady's fiancé.
It was just by chance that he pointed out Zhang Xuetao to me and my elder sister. We recognized him at a glance, and from then on we bribed the lame old man who was guarding the gate of the church hospital, and only then did we discover the relationship between them. "
Qiu Chan was also speechless. After knowing this before, they were still thinking about how to tell the master, but now they don’t have this concern.
"So I'm lucky. There's no need to hide this from my father. After the engagement ceremony is over and I'm gone, tell my father. He will arrange a few smart people to pass on the message and protect you."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, young lady. As long as I can help, that's fine."
Lianyi and the four concubines discussed the follow-up arrangements, and Yun Siyu also got off work.
She was carrying her bag and was wearing a plaid cheongsam. She had her shiny black hair tied up on the upper part and let the lower part down. She had a pair of pearl earrings on her ears. She looked confident, simple and elegant, and went straight to the cafe she often went to.
After Yun Siyu knew Zhang Xuetao's identity, she avoided meeting him in public places, so when she went to a coffee shop, she went to a corner separated by a curtain.
When Zhang Xuetao arrived, he found Yun Siyu stirring the coffee in the cup, but she was in a daze, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
"Miss Yun, I'm sorry, I'm late."
Zhang Xuetao, dressed in a grey three-piece suit, said very politely.
"It's okay, I just got here a while ago."
Yun Siyu said with a forced smile.
"Well, you said you had something to ask me, so go ahead and ask!"
Zhang Xuetao didn't know how to start, so he simply let the other party speak first.
"I want to know, are you Marshal Zhang's son? The recent rumor that you are getting engaged to Marshal Duan's daughter, is that true?"
Yun Siyu closed her eyes and thought for a while, then asked straight to the point.
"Yes, but I didn't mean to hide it from you."
"I know, it's my own fault. I just thought you were a young master from some family, and I didn't even think about the Zhang family in the north. Luckily, I was born in the north, and it was my own fault that I didn't ask. It's not your fault."
Yun Siyu smiled self-deprecatingly.
The other party did not blame or get angry, but only made fun of himself, which made Zhang Haitao feel very embarrassed.
"Although I didn't make my identity clear, I sincerely consider you a friend."
"Friend? So you only consider me a friend?"
Yun Siyu's eyes turned red, and she swallowed the rest of Zhang Xuetao's words and couldn't speak again.
“Master Zhang, I admit that the longer I get to know you, the more I can discover your shining points. I do like you a little, but this does not mean that my feelings are inferior to others.
Before you got engaged, no one could point out a single mistake I made when we were dating. But now you are about to get engaged, and I don’t want to be the woman who is criticized for destroying other people’s relationships!
From now on, we should just pretend that we have never met and never meet again. I hope you will not embarrass me for the sake of our acquaintance. Thank you!"
After Yun Siyu finished speaking, she put down the coffee spoon in her hand, picked up her bag, and left.
Her behavior was somewhat beyond Zhang Xuetao's expectations, so he subconsciously reached out and tried to hold her back, but Yun Siyu dodged him. She frowned and said:
"Mr. Zhang, please respect yourself."
Then she left the cafe directly. She needed to prepare for the next show.
Zhang Xuetao sat for a while and left the cafe, but he didn't notice that at another table across the aisle, an enchanting woman took pictures of the entire meeting between him and Yun Siyu with a miniature camera.
Three days later, the photo was in Xia Xin's hands. She took the photo to find Lian Yi and said with a smile:
"Miss, you are amazing! You really guessed it right. Yun Siyu has made her position clear and drawn a clear line between herself and Zhang Xuetao. The young master of the Zhang family is still a little reluctant to let her go!"
Lianyi was not surprised at all. Having traveled through time from modern society, Yun Siyu did have this ability.
"Aunt, tell your people to stop keeping an eye on Zhang Xuetao. He has been following Marshal Zhang recently, and the security level around him is very high. Tell your people to keep an eye on Yun Siyu. She is easier to keep an eye on, and she will definitely create opportunities for herself to run into Zhang Xuetao."
"I see. I thought so too. I'll keep these photos for now. They may be useful in the future."
Xia Xin said happily.
"Okay, I'll go accompany my father to meet Marshal Zhang."
Lianyi changed into a white lace dress and went to the front hall to meet Zhang Fenglin.
Zhang Xuetao absent-mindedly accompanied his father to visit Marshal Duan's residence. Ever since he met Yun Siyu in the coffee shop, she always politely and tactfully refused his requests whenever he asked her out, which suddenly made him feel a little uncomfortable.
If Lianyi knew about this, she would definitely say that he was a scumbag.
"Xue Tao, what are you daydreaming about? Lian Yi is asking you a question."
Zhang Fenglin's voice rang in Zhang Xuetao's ears, bringing him back from his distraction.
Only then did he notice Lianyi, who was sitting opposite him and looking at him with bright eyes, and immediately said embarrassedly:
"I rarely see Lianyi wearing a dress, but I didn't expect her to be so beautiful. I was stunned for a moment!"
After saying that, he scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Haha, you silly boy, you haven't seen enough after watching it for two years!"
Zhang Fenglin said cheerfully.
Zhang Xuetao didn't say anything, just giggled, looking like a young man who has fallen in love.
But Lianyi did not see any admiration in his eyes. She stood up and said to the two big men at the top:
"Uncle Zhang, father, you guys chat here first. I'll take Xue Tao to the back garden. Anyway, I don't understand what you're talking about when you're fighting. I have something to say to Xue Tao."
"Look, you think we two old guys are an eyesore! All right, go and have fun by yourselves. I'll talk to your Uncle Zhang."
Duan Zongqing waved his hand, knowing what his daughter wanted to do, and did not stop her.
Marshal Zhang would not stop it. He wished his son could hold Marshal Duan's daughter firmly in his hands, so he generously let the two of them not have to accompany him.
Lianyi took Zhang Xuetao to the back garden of the Marshal's Mansion and sat in the octagonal pavilion that had been decorated long ago.
My dears, as usual, there is still time before 10 o'clock~
