Chapter 104 Indifference
"You..." Xie Zhaoye was abruptly stopped in his tracks by her coldness. He stood there awkwardly, touching his nose and saying helplessly, "Are you alright? Why didn't you answer my question?"
Xie Qingran looked coldly at Xie Zhaoye and said indifferently, "I don't want to talk to you."
Xie Zhaoye had come to apologize and intended to speak nicely with Xie Qingran, but for some reason, faced with Xie Qingran's indifference, all the words he had prepared vanished instantly, and he couldn't utter a single word.
He was somewhat annoyed, but also a little aggrieved, his eyes reddening: "Xie Qingran, you're always so cold, never giving me a kind look, that's why I hate you!"
Well……
Seeing Xie Zhaoye's exasperated state, Xie Qingran felt utterly bewildered. She said calmly, "You slapped me so hard I went deaf, and you expect me to speak gently to you and say it's okay? Your skin... isn't it a bit too thick?"
"Xie Qingran, look what I brought you!"
"This is our best ointment. I guarantee it won't leave any marks on your face after you use it!"
Shen Wenyuan came in beaming and waved the ointment in his hand at Xie Qingran like a treasure.
As soon as they walked in, they met Xie Zhaoye's cold eyes. Both of them were a little surprised and stared at each other.
Xie Zhaoye was the first to react, pointing at Shen Wenyuan and saying unhappily, "How dare you barge into a young lady's private quarters like that?"
"We are good friends. I came to see my friend. What did I do wrong?"
"Besides, your Xie family doesn't treat Qingran like a human being and bullies her like this. I haven't even come to you yet, and you're already criticizing me."
Shen Wenyuan shoved the ointment in his hand into Baozhu's hand, then looked at Xie Zhaoye with displeasure and snorted.
Xie Zhaoye was previously praised as a bright and gentle gentleman, so when had he ever been insulted like this?
Almost instantly, he placed all the blame on Xie Qingran.
Xie Zhaoye turned around and looked at Xie Qingran with displeasure, saying in an annoyed tone, "You're already engaged and the wedding date is set, how can you be so intimate with other men? Are you trying to ruin your reputation? Let me tell you, you may not care about your own reputation, but the Xie family does, and our Yue'er does!"
"Get out."
Xie Qingran no longer wanted to waste a single word on this person.
"Xie Qingran, you're telling me to get out? I'm your own brother, how could you treat me like this!"
"I came here specifically to see you, and you... you're so ungrateful! I hope you die of heartache!"
Xie Zhaoye was furious. He spat and limped away.
After he left, he belatedly realized that he had lost his temper with Xie Qingran again.
"What on earth is going on?!"
He came here to apologize, but for some reason, Xie Qingran always managed to make him say the wrong thing. He originally wanted to ease the tension between them, but he never expected that their relationship would become even worse.
Shen Wenyuan looked at Xie Qingran with some heartache, stepped forward, and asked her with concern, "Are you alright?"
"I'm already used to it, what else is there?"
"As for you, don't come to my house so often in the future. If there's anything you need, you can ask me to come out and find you. This isn't good for you."
Xie Qingran knew that her current identity was special, so she didn't want to implicate Shen Wenyuan. Most importantly, she knew that she and Shen Wenyuan could never be true friends.
This person is also on her list of enemies!
Shen Wenyuan was a very perceptive person, so he could clearly sense Xie Qingran's wariness and dislike towards him. But the more she acted this way, the more Shen Wenyuan couldn't help but want to get closer to her.
The main reason is that Shen Wenyuan was always loved by everyone, so now that he is facing Xie Qingran, who doesn't like him, he wants Xie Qingran to like him even more.
He leaned closer, looking at Xie Qingran with curiosity: "If I remember correctly, I helped you the first time we met. Why... do you always dislike me and give me the cold shoulder? What did I do to offend you?"
"You haven't offended me," Xie Qingran replied calmly. "But you should know that not everyone is born to like you, and unfortunately, I'm one of those people who doesn't."
After saying that, Xie Qingran waved his hand, his meaning clear: he could leave.
This was the first time someone had so openly expressed their dislike for Shen Wenyuan to his face, and Shen Wenyuan felt as if his heart was about to break.
He took a deep breath, but still forced a smile: "You're sick and in a bad mood right now. Once you're better, I'll treat you to a trip to the countryside!"
After saying that, Shen Wenyuan reluctantly turned and left.
Watching Shen Wenyuan's retreating figure, Xie Qingran's eyes darkened, and she snorted disdainfully, "Throw the ointment out!"
“Miss, this is very rare, so please use it. What if it really leaves a scar on your face?” Baozhu looked at Xie Qingran’s face with some concern. It was covered in purplish-blue bruises and looked quite frightening.
Xie Qingran turned her face away, refusing to look at the ointment again, and resolutely refused to use it. She simply lay down and closed her eyes.
Seeing Xie Qingran like this, Baozhu had no choice but to turn around and walk outside.
Wan Jin Lou.
Shen Wenyuan drank several glasses of wine in a row, feeling extremely depressed.
Zhao Yuanqi found his gloomy appearance somewhat amusing: "Among all of us, you're the one living the most carefree life. What's wrong with you?"
"Yes, you've seemed down lately. What's wrong?" Lu Jinzhi asked, staring at Shen Wenyuan with some curiosity.
Although Zhou Huai'an didn't say anything, he was clearly curious.
But Shen Wenyuan snorted in grievance: "Today, someone told me that she hates me, and for no reason! I just don't understand, I'm so likable, why doesn't she like me?"
"Who?" Zhao Yuanqi looked at Shen Wenyuan curiously. "Who said that?"
"Xie Qingran," Shen Wenyuan said, holding his cup.
Everyone present changed their expressions upon hearing this name, and their eyes became more inquisitive.
"Whether she hates you or likes you, what does it matter?" Lu Jinzhi snorted impatiently. "She doesn't know the rules and is strange, so what's so surprising about that?"
"How come she doesn't know the rules?" Zhao Yuanqi asked curiously. "I think she knows the rules very well."
