Xie Yanxi shrugged: "You know, our family will lose their composure when encountering something like you. I took it seriously before and was ready to crush the Chen family to death."
Xie Jinyao's face darkened, she felt embarrassed, annoyed, and a little frustrated.
"No! You can't do this!"
"Chen Jiayan doesn't know that I like him, nor does he know my identity. He is innocent!"
The little princess was angry. A blush appeared on her pretty face and even the corners of her eyes were red with anger.
Xie Yanxi put away the playful smile on his face and said in a deeper voice: "It is true that you almost didn't come back. Chen's residence is a place where you cause trouble on their territory. The guns hidden in the dark can shoot you into a sieve! If it weren't for the timely response from your family's trusted people, you would have lost your life in Hong Kong."
Xie Jinyao's expression darkened for a moment, and her eyelids drooped. "That was because I lied to you first. Brother Jiayan has never let me down. He is now successful in both his career and his love life. I don't want to be the third party. I have let him go."
If the sadness in her eyes and the loneliness on her face were completely concealed, what she said would still be somewhat believable.
Xie Yanxi looked at his sister's sad face, and sighed with both heartache and helplessness: "Brother, leave everything to me, don't worry, I won't let your brother Jiayan get hurt.
But you have to let Big Brother know as soon as possible that you are no longer thinking about the Chen family, and you will not do anything to lower your status. If the little princess of the Xie family becomes someone's secretary, you won't be afraid of losing face if it gets out."
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. He had no idea what kind of magic potion Chen Jiayan had used to make his sister so devoted to Xie Jinyao.
"I have done everything I have done in the past three years willingly. As for the other things, I will not mention them."
Xie Jinyao raised her chin proudly, her voice cold and arrogant, and turned to go upstairs.
Xie Yanxi laughed and shook his head. After watching his sister's back disappear, he lowered his head to deal with the piled up official business.

The next day.
After finishing his morning exercise, Xie Dongyang's eyelids were twitching, and he always felt that something was going to happen.
Thinking of his third brother and younger sister at home, Xie Dongyang called the servants at home: "What are Yanxi and Yaoyao doing?"
The servant said respectfully, "The Third Young Master and the Young Lady are still sleeping. They slept late last night and probably won't get up until noon."
Xie Dongyang's eyebrows moved slightly, and he tapped the tabletop lightly. After a while, he asked, "Is there any news from the Second Young Master and the Fourth Young Master?"
The servant said, “I still can’t contact the Second Young Master, but according to the news I received a few days ago, the Second Young Master should still be in North America, possibly with Godfather Donald.
As for the fourth young master, he did call me after the meeting this morning. He knew that the young lady had returned and asked me a few questions. He said that he would be back for dinner in the evening.
Xie Dongyang stopped tapping his fingers on the table, and the wrinkles between his brows relaxed.
Since it wasn't a family member who was in trouble, he felt much relieved.
At noon.
After lunch, Xie Jinyao came to the main building and found Xie Dongyang, who was resting with his eyes closed in the sunlight.
She stared at the man with a handsome face and a gentle and noble temperament. The more she looked, the more she felt that he was very similar to the father in her childhood memory.
Xie Jinyao looked at him for a long time, then suddenly said, "Brother, do you have time? I want to talk to you."
Xie Dongyang didn't even move his eyelids, and a low, magnetic and pleasant voice rang out: "Come and sit down and talk."
His calm expression and calm tone seemed to indicate that he had known about his sister's arrival.
Xie Jinyao sat opposite him and said straight to the point, "Brother, Chen Jiayan already has a fiancée. It was announced in the newspaper a few days ago. Even if I, Xie Jinyao, lower my status, I will not be the third party."
When she was a child, she would go to Hong Kong every year and live at her great-grandfather Guo's house for a period of time. In the past three years, she has lived in Hong Kong permanently, and her pronunciation has a bit of the playfulness and softness of Cantonese.
Xie Dongyang slowly opened his eyes, his ink-black eyes staring at Xie Jinyao quietly.
"You've done so much for him over the years, can you really just let it go?"
Xie Jinyao nodded vigorously, speaking anxiously in dialect: "I really don't like him!" - (I really don't like him anymore!)
Xie Dongyang listened to his sister's Cantonese with rich intonations, unique accent and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
The man pursed his lips and said, "Yaoyao, you don't need to be too sensible. No matter what you want, I can give it to you."
Xie Jinyao listened to her elder brother's gentle tone and shook her head, "Chen Jiayan is a human being."
How can you just give away a living person?
Xie Dongyang folded his slender hands and placed them casually on his abdomen. He said lightly: "He is just a person. It is his blessing that you like him."
"Brother, love requires mutual affection. A forced melon is not sweet."
"You're so worried about him, yet you still say you don't like him. You're being stubborn."
Xie Jinyao acted coquettishly: "Big Brother——"
Xie Dongyang's ink-black eyes shone with a clear light under the sunlight. He tilted his head and stared into Xie Jinyao's eyes.
His voice faded away from being gentle: "Last month, Chen Jiayan attended a private banquet hosted by the Minister of Economy of Hong Kong. He drank too much and you helped him into the room. You did not leave the room that night. The next morning, you asked someone to buy emergency contraceptive pills."
“!!!” Xie Jinyao’s face cracked.
She stared at Xie Dongyang in horror: "How did you know?!"
Xie Dongyang looked deeply into Xie Jinyao's eyes, and was sure that there was shock, anger, and shyness in them, but no doubt.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said in a gentle voice, "In the early years, my parents arranged a lot of people in Hong Kong. Over the years, with the support of the Xie family and the Guo family, some of them have infiltrated the political circles and held high positions. Some of them seem insignificant, but in fact they are in control of all the movements of those in high positions."
Xie Jinyao asked absentmindedly, "Does Brother Jiayan have our people around him?"
Xie Dongyang didn't say anything, but Xie Jinyao understood that this meant tacit consent.
She raised her hand to her forehead and explained, "Brother Jiayan and I were both drunk that night. We are both adults, and having sex after drinking can only be said to be a mistake made by adults. Since it is a mistake, it must be corrected. I have agreed with Chen Jiayan that we should pretend that nothing happened that night."
Xie Dongyang said coldly: "You bullied my sister and you want to pretend nothing happened. Chen Jiayan is nothing but a scumbag."
Xie Jinyao: "Brother, you are too prejudiced against him."
Xie Dongyang asked again: "Can you really let him go?"
Xie Jinyao said calmly, "Let it go. After so many years of struggling, the passion has long been exhausted."
No one knew that every time she mentioned Chen Jiayan's name, the pain in her heart was like a needle prick, a lingering pain that tortured her so much that she could not climb out of the long abyss of unrequited love.
How can I just let go of a relationship that has lasted for more than ten years?
Xie Dongyang seemed not to see the paranoia, struggle and pain surging in his sister's dark eyes.
He leaned over and rubbed the top of Xie Jinyao's head, his voice gentle and pitying: "It would be best if Yaoyao could let it go. Even if she can't, it's just Chen Jiayan. I have plenty of ways to make him voluntarily come to you."
Xie Jinyao rubbed her face against the broad and gentle palm and smiled sweetly.
She shook her head and said, "No, brother, I really let it go."
Xie Dongyang glanced at her and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll find you a better man who is a hundred times better than Chen Jiayan."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jinyao's eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.
She threw herself into Xie Dongyang's arms and whispered, "Thank you, brother."
As for a man better than Chen Jiayan.
There will never be another one in this life, no one can compare to him.
Xie Jinyao slowly closed her eyes, hiding all the bitterness and love.
