The sour smell on Xie Donglou's body was almost solidified.
He went to Shanla to return the car with a feeling of grievance, and then hurried home. When he returned, he happened to see An Yuzhu sitting in the living room. She looked behind Xie Donglou, and then looked at him in confusion.
"Where are the people?"
Xie Donglou sat at the table and poured himself a glass of water. After hearing this, his hands paused.
After a moment, he put the cup heavily on the table with a dark face.
An Yuzhu turned around and rolled her eyes at him.
"What's wrong with you?"
How can someone get so angry when picking him up at the train station?
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Xie Donglou, "Did your good nephew give you a cold look?"
Xie Donglou: “…”
It would be good if Xie Yanzhao would give him a good look. Then, he could naturally use his uncle's status to teach him the principles of life.
But the problem is... it's so frustrating!
Looking at An Yuzhu's smug face, Xie Donglou felt a pang in his heart.
"No!"
His face was still gloomy, and he sat down opposite An Yuzhu.
An Yuzhu glanced at him.
It's longer than a donkey's face, and he still says it's okay, but no one will believe it. But she didn't ask, did they really think that the Xie family members were all so awesome that she had to flatter them? She had to let Xie Donglou taste the bitterness she had tasted.
She sat there with a clear conscience, her hands skimming over the newspapers.
Xie Donglou took a deep breath and watched her movements.
"What are you doing?"
"It's your good daughter," An Yuzhu glanced at him, "she said the newspaper was going to hold an event and was collecting reports of major events over the years. Your daughter was too busy and asked me for help."
She sighed, children are all debts!
"By the way, where is your nephew? Is he coming or not? My room is ready."
"snort!"
Xie Donglou's face, which had just turned from gloomy to bright, gloomy again.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Looking at his gloomy look, An Yuzhu was really curious.
"...We live in a shabby house, no one would want to look down on us."
An Yuzhu paused what she was doing and looked up at him.
God knows.
What An Yuzhu was most proud of was not marrying Xie Donglou, nor was she proud of having an uncle who was a commander, but that she could live in such a beautiful small western-style building. Her sister married the workshop director, whose house was only 30 or 40 square meters.
Three generations of a family were crammed in there, and the whole family could hear whatever they did. It was nowhere near as spacious as the small Western-style building where she lived.
For this reason, she has a lot of face in front of her elder sister.
Her sister also coveted her house and suggested letting her nephew move in.
An Yuzhu didn't agree.
Hearing Xie Donglou said this, it really hit her in the chest.
She raised her eyebrows and sneered, "You don't like it? Your good nephew is so capable, why doesn't he live in the palace or the imperial city!"
"Huh?" Xie Donglou looked at her in surprise, "How do you know that she lives in a royal palace?"
An Yuzhu: “…”
By the time I reacted, it was too late to get angry.
With burning eyes, she quickly sat down beside Xie Donglou, grabbed his hand and asked, "What's going on?"
When Xie Donglou recalled the scenery he had seen, he felt as if he was soaked in a vinegar jar.
He recounted what he had seen and heard along the way, and at the end added, "...is the Great Hall across the street?"
Even if it's just a piece of land, its location alone is not something that ordinary people can afford.
An Yuzhu was stunned...
Oh my god, who on earth is that niece-in-law? She's so powerful!
Thinking of the small attic she had arranged, An Yuzhu blushed for some reason.
Fortunately, Xie Donglou did not bring the person back, otherwise she would have been so embarrassed.
An Yuzhu came back to her senses and took Xie Donglou's arm with shining eyes, "Donlou, do you think we should go visit her tomorrow? My niece-in-law just arrived in Beijing and is unfamiliar with the place. I'd be happy to keep her company."
Xie Donglou knew what An Yuzhu meant.
His bedmate is a person who will not do anything without profit, and he only saw that Ruan Mingfu was profitable. Otherwise... just look at the small attic she arranged.
"Okay, you go with the third son's wife."
An Yuzhu rolled her eyes and said, "We two old people have nothing to talk about with my niece's wife, so let your daughter go with me."
"Okay, remember to call her."
Although Xie Donglou felt jealous, he knew the importance of the matter. Knowing that the other person had a big and thick leg, why didn't he hug her?
He touched his pocket, and when he thought about what happened at the train station, he felt annoyed with hatred for Xie Xiluo.
You bastard!
He didn't even bother to inform him in advance about giving the new daughter-in-law a gift!
"Pick out a gold bracelet and send it to your niece-in-law tomorrow."
An Yuzhu's face changed, and she was about to curse, but then she suddenly thought of something and nodded with a smile on her face.
"It should be. It should be."
The next morning, she packed up and was taken to Prince Kang's Mansion by Xie Donglou. Looking at the imposing gate, An Yuzhu felt like she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
Xie Yan, who was following behind, yawned, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.
"Mom and Dad, are you sure my sister-in-law lives here?"
At this time, which good person can live in this place?
"Shut up!" An Yuzhu scolded her, "Behave yourself today, or I'll break your legs if you dare to talk nonsense!"
"……knew."
Xie Yan covered his head and rolled his eyes in distress.
She stayed up until midnight yesterday to finish organizing the materials, and not long after she went to bed, she was dug up. Xie Yan really felt like she could fall asleep while standing.
Looking at the red-painted brass door in front of her, she felt that her parents had lost their minds.
Although her uncle was a commander and her cousin held a high position in the army, they could not live in the palace of the previous dynasty. Don't think she didn't know that these buildings were state property. Even during the movement, no one dared to touch them.
After Xie Donglou knocked on the door, he waited quietly by the side.
But after a long time, no one came to open the door.
For today, An Yu specially put on her best clothes. She looked at Xie Donglou suspiciously.
"What's going on? Try knocking again."
Xie Donglou followed his instructions and knocked again. But this time, after a long time, no one came to open the door.
"Xie Donglou, are you sure it's here?"
An Yuzhu was a little skeptical.
Could it be that Xie Donglou was so angry yesterday that he remembered it wrongly?
"really--"
"Second brother, you are here too?"
Just as Xie Donglou was about to explain, Xie Xilou's loud voice came from behind him. Xie Donglou was doubting himself, so he quickly pulled Xie Xilou over and said, "Tell your sister-in-law, did we go in here together yesterday?"
"yes."
An Yuzhu still didn't believe it.
This kind of place was the residence of the prince in the previous dynasty, but now, even the great heroes can't live there, and instead, two little kids live there?
Not to mention that she doesn't believe it, no one would believe it even if she told others.
An Yuzhu looked at the two brothers suspiciously.
Could it be that the two brothers joined forces to save face for their nephew?
While I was deep in thought, the vermilion door opened.
Guan Jiu was still chubby. When he saw the Xie brothers whom he had met yesterday, he quickly bowed with both hands.
"Sorry, I was busy in the backyard and didn't hear anything in front."
Xie Xilou scratched the back of his head and smiled innocently.
"Not busy, not busy."
"You two...are you here to look for Comrade Ruan, right?" Guan Jiu smiled at everyone he met. "Please follow me."
As he spoke, Guan Jiu walked out from the door.
Xie Donglou quickly pulled Guan Jiu over and asked, "You...my nephew doesn't live here?"
"This place hasn't been renovated yet, and Comrade Ruan thought it was too noisy," Guan Jiu explained, "so we moved to another place."
"Another place?"
Xie Donglou was really shocked.
Oh shit!
I thought the palace was the upper limit, but I didn't expect there was another house. So, next, do they have to live in the imperial city?
It's sour…
Xie Donglou quickly shut up, for he was afraid that if he spoke anything he would just sound jealous.
Later, several people followed Guan Jiu silently without saying anything.
Xie Yan quietly walked to An Yuzhu's side and lowered his voice: "Mom, who is my cousin?"
How come you are so awesome?
Even a house like this could be lived in... Could it be Commander Xie's? But she had never heard her father talk about this.
It took An Yuzhu a long time to find her own voice.
"…I don't know either."
Fortunately, she was just guessing and didn't say anything, otherwise... it would be so embarrassing!
She pulled Xie Yan over and said, "Behave yourself and stop talking nonsense!"
"knew."
Xie Yan pursed his lips.
The other party is so powerful, how could she dare to provoke him.
The two places are very close to each other and we arrived there in a short while.
An Yuzhu looked at the neat and tidy courtyard, which was much more low-key than the palace. But... she fell silent as she looked at the glazed tiles on the roof.
"Everyone follow me."
"Mom, my cousin is from Hong Kong?"
Xie Yan was really confused, as she had never heard that her cousin had any connections in Hong Kong City.
"That's your cousin's wife."
"mom!"
Because she was too surprised, she didn't lower her voice, causing everyone to look over. Xie Yan covered her mouth and looked at everyone with her lively eyes.
Seeing that they all turned around, Xie Yan lowered his voice.
"Didn't you say that my cousin's wife is from the country?"
She didn't have any prejudice against country people, but it was impossible for a country person to achieve such a grand occasion.
"Who knows?"
An Yuzhu knew everything about this matter.
I guess it was spread by that bitch who couldn't stand seeing Xie Yanzhao doing well.
If Bai Qianzhu were here, An Yuzhu would have wanted to slap her to death. A bitch is a bitch, she will never be able to show up on stage in this life!
She almost fell into a ditch.
An Yuzhu looked at the neatly trimmed flowers and plants around her. Perhaps because winter had arrived, there was frost on the leaves. A slight touch was freezing cold.
Guan Jiu and his men passed by the garden and saw Ruan Mingfu who had just woken up and was having breakfast with Xie Yanzhao.
But they were not the only two in the hall at this time, there were also Andre and Finney, two followers. Xie Yanzhao had a dark face, and he wanted to throw out the ill-intentioned brother and sister.
But these two people have just invested money, and their superiors are grateful.
All conditions of the brother and sister were met. Look... Lin Xiao threw the person over early in the morning, but he ran away without a trace.
"Ruan, what is this? It looks delicious."
Andre, with his sleek golden hair, looked at Ruan Mingfu tenderly and affectionately. His eyes flashed from time to time, making Xie Yanzhao at the side want to dig out his eyes.
“This is xiao long bao.”
"What a romantic name," Andre stared at Ruan Mingfu without blinking, "Ruan, I found you after not seeing you for a day..."
Xie Yanzhao: “…”
He couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up a bun with chopsticks and stuffed it into his chattering mouth.
"Baron Andre, it's dinner time."
Andrei blinked his beautiful eyes, took out the bun from his mouth and took a bite, and did not forget to complain to Ruan Mingfu, "Ruan, this guy is really annoying, how did you tolerate him for so long?"
"Brother, eat more."
Finney knew nothing about the confrontation between the two men, but whenever he ate something delicious, he would give a portion to Andre.
Andre accepted everyone who came, but he never let her go with his words.
"Oh, Finny, don't think I'll forget you cheated me just because you serve me some food."
Yesterday, after signing the contract, Andre realized that he had been cheated. But what can he do? The contract has already been signed. As a gentleman of status, Andre can't do the shameless act of tearing up the contract.
Look, this petty and vengeful gentleman came to find trouble with Xie Yanzhao early in the morning.
Ruan Mingfu knew his purpose and ignored him.
"snort!"
Finney glared at him and picked up a bun for Ruan Mingfu.
It's said to be pinching, but actually it's poking.
There is no way, Princess Finny is not yet able to use chopsticks skillfully.
"This stuffed bun is so delicious," the little princess said as she waved her hand after having eaten her fill. "I'm going to take the chef back to Country F and eat it every day from now on!"
Ruan Mingfu still said nothing.
This is none of her business, it's the Ministry of Foreign Affairs's business.
Finney propped up his chin and looked at Xie Yanzhao with a gloomy face, "Are you really not going back to Country F with me?"
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
Good man, she treated her to breakfast, but Finny was still thinking about stealing her man? !
Who can tolerate this!
Just as Ruan Mingfu was about to speak, Princess Finny grabbed her hand and said excitedly.
"In that case, I will take Ruan away."
Andre's eyes lit up, "Sister, brother supports you!"
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
Good man, it seems you are planning to not let any of them go.
Xie Yanzhao's face turned completely black.
Then, the brother and sister who came to cause trouble early in the morning were "asked" to leave.
Guan Jiu then brought the group to Ruan Mingfu.
"Comrade Ruan, the people have arrived."
Ruan Mingfu turned her head, and Xie Yan felt that his eyes were struck by the beauty of her face.
After a night's rest, Ruan Mingfu was in much better shape than yesterday. Her skin was porcelain white, her eyebrows were black like willows, her eyes were big and bright, and her lips were red without any spots.
"Second uncle, third uncle."
Xie Xilou was a little nervous when facing Ruan Mingfu.
"Nephew...niece-in-law."
"Niece-in-law," Xie Donglou was not as stage-frightened as Xie Xilou. He looked at her confidently and calmly, "We came to see you."
Ruan Mingfu smiled shyly, "It's time for us to go see the two uncles."
Everyone sat down, and Guan Jiu immediately came over with a cup.
An Yuzhu was shocked every morning. She stepped on the soft carpet and looked at the spacious living room... and then thought of the small attic she had prepared. An Yuzhu felt a little guilty.
Xie Donglou introduced everyone to Ruan Mingfu like the head of the family.
"Ah! I've seen you before!"
Everyone looked towards Xie Yan, only to see her pointing at Ruan Mingfu with surprise in her eyes.
"Xiao Yan, don't point at your sister-in-law like that," An Yuzhu patted Xie Yan's hand unhappily, "It's rude."
But she didn't care about that.
She looked at Ruan Mingfu with sparkling eyes, "Sister-in-law, have you ever attended the Shanghai International Technology Fair?"
Xie Yan inherited the good qualities of both Xie Donglou and An Yuzhu. His eyes are round and look like... like the squirrel that Ruan Mingfu had sucked on her phone in her previous life.
"Yes," she nodded, "Do you know the Shanghai Jiao Tong University?"
Seeing Ruan Mingfu admit it, Xie Yan became even more excited.
"The newspaper originally sent me there, but I happened to be sick... Sister-in-law, I read that report, you are amazing!"
She didn't remember it so clearly at first, but when she was sorting out the information yesterday, she read the article that specifically reported on Ruan Mingfu for a long time and also memorized the person in the photo.
This is also the reason why Xie Yan could recognize Ruan Mingfu at a glance.
Seeing her parents and others looking at her curiously, Xie Yan hurriedly told them about Ruan Mingfu's performance at the Shanghai International Trade Fair. She described it so vividly that those who didn't know would have thought she had been there in person.
Everyone's eyes on Ruan Mingfu changed.
"My niece, you are so amazing."
"It is truly a blessing for Yan Zhao to marry you."
"What are you talking about!" Xie Donglou rolled his eyes at An Yuzhu, "My niece-in-law and our Yan Zhao are together, that's a match made in heaven."
An Yuzhu glanced at him.
This bastard!
It was because he knew that his nephew and niece-in-law were capable that he started to tremble in front of her again.
Xie Xilou was afraid that he might say something wrong and make his niece-in-law unhappy, so he could only nod in agreement.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Although Ruan Mingfu kept smiling, she was so embarrassed that her toes touched the ground.
Stop bragging!
Help! She really wanted to escape from this horrible place immediately.
Xie Yan looked at Ruan Mingfu with such a nauseous look that it was enough to draw a line, "Sister-in-law is really amazing!"
What she didn't say just now was that Ruan Mingfu was her idol.
When she saw this report, she decided to become a woman who shines like Ruan Mingfu.
"What are you talking about?"
Xie Yanzhao's tall figure walked in from outside the door.
It blocked the door like a mountain, dimming the light in the room by several degrees. Ruan Mingfu didn't care about being disgusted at this moment. Her eyes lit up slightly, and she looked at Xie Yanzhao as if he were her savior.
An Yuzhu wanted to ease the relationship with her nephew, so she smiled and joked.
"Of course I'm talking about you two," she stared at Xie Yanzhao's figure, secretly surprised in her heart, but her face remained unchanged, "I say you two are a match made in heaven."
After hearing this, Xie Yanzhao also smiled a little.
The cold aura on him was diluted a lot.
"Yan Zhao, you didn't bring her here at the beginning, were you afraid that your new daughter-in-law would be shy?"
An Yuzhu saw Xie Yanzhao's appearance and knew that there was a way. Then, she continued to praise him.
"Your second aunt loves to joke so much," Xie Donglou also smiled, "Yan Zhao, your third uncle and I have discussed it, let us handle your eldest brother's affairs. You are still young, so you can learn more from us when the time comes."
This was not the original plan, but he changed his mind ahead of time.
My nephew is so capable, why not sell him one?
There was no affection between them to begin with, and if the fight continued he would only be able to watch Xie Yanzhao eat meat while he wouldn't get any advantage at all.
Xie Donglou is very cunning.
He is willing to support whoever is beneficial to him.
"Second brother is right," Xie Xilou stared at his nephew whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years, his eyes full of emotion, "We won't have a big event, one morning will be enough."
During this special period, and because Commander Xie was in a high position, he was able to hold a small farewell ceremony.
Anyone else would be buried directly in a coffin.
"Just listen to your two uncles."
Xie Donglou nodded with satisfaction.
"You're not in that...compound?"
He wanted to live there, but he knew he was not qualified. With Xie Yanzhao's rank, if he applied to his superiors, he might be able to keep the house.
But...why?
"Follow the rules."
Xie Yanzhao didn't have any ideas about this house.
Even his happiest and most difficult times were spent there.
Xie Xiluo didn't have any idea about the house.
"Then do as you wish."
"Uncles, check if there is any furniture in here that you can use, and then move it away."
Ruan Mingfu now has two courtyard houses, and she can't live in them at all. What's more, it was the love nest of Commander Xie and the young nanny. Even if she lived in it, she felt unlucky when she mentioned it. She didn't plan to take anything in the house, and was happy to do this favor.
"That would be great."
The young aunt's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to go over and move out the things.
An Yuzhu glanced at her arrogantly.
After so many years, she, the sister-in-law, is still so unpresentable.
She tucked the hair around her ears and said, "My niece, I know this is your first time here. I'll let Xiaoyan stay here. She grew up here and is familiar with everywhere. If there's anything, you can ask her to run errands."
Xie Yan: “…”
Listen, this is what your biological mother said?
However, if I could be close to Ruan Mingfu, let alone running errands, I would even let her sleep on the big floor.
“No…no…”
Ruan Mingfu wanted to refuse, but couldn't resist An Yuzhu's enthusiasm.
"Just accept her. This child is very tough. It would be a good idea for her to stay with you. It's annoying that she jumps up and down all the time."
Xie Yanzhao nodded, "Then Uncle San's Xie Ming should stay with us as well."
One for each family, impartial.
Although An Yuzhu was a little surprised, she quickly concealed it.
"Keep your eyes open here with your cousin's wife."
Trained again...
Xie Yan made a bitter face, "I know."
After explaining the matter, the few people left.
After walking out of the door, Xie Donglou gave An Yuzhu a thumbs up and said, "My wife is really good. She even found a good excuse!"
As long as you put someone there... there's no need to worry about not being able to develop feelings for each other.
They were from the previous generation, and it didn't matter if Xie Yanzhao wasn't close to them. As long as he had a good relationship with the next generation, if they really got into trouble one day, he didn't believe that Xie Yanzhao would not lend a hand.
An Yuzhu smiled complacently.
She also felt that she had done an exceptionally good job today.
but……
If she had known that Xie Yanzhao had such luck, she should have held him in her arms when he was still young.
Now, I just hope that Xie Yan and Xie Ming can give me some more strength.
…
On this day, Ruan Mingfu and Xie Yanzhao stayed at home. At night, Ruan Mingfu asked Guan Jiu to arrange a room for them to sleep.
Anyway, they will only stay here for a few days.
Ruan Mingfu lay on a chair, looking at the dark lake in the night. She was in a daze, and a thick blanket wrapped her whole body.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Miss you."
Xie Yanzhao paused, and his eyes became dangerous.
"oh?"
"Tell me, what would I do if I hadn't met you before?"
Ruan Mingfu found a comfortable position in his arms, and then nestled lazily in his arms.
The dog man has a really good physique.
Lying next to him was like lying next to a stove. Sometimes, if the quilt was too thick, she would even wake up from the heat. Maybe it would be just right in a few days when the temperature was lower.
Xie Yanzhao's hands tightened when he heard this.
"Let's not talk about this anymore," Ruan Mingfu straightened up. "I finally came to the capital, and I have a lot of things to buy. And I haven't delivered the things my sister-in-law asked me to give to her sister yet."
She counted on her fingers.
"Take your time," Xie Yanzhao held her little hand, "There are two errand boys here, let them do it."
"You will?"
Ruan Mingfu widened her eyes and looked at him in surprise.
She was still wondering if the bastard was thinking about breaking off all ties with the Xie family. Did she misunderstand?
"I did think so at first," Xie Yanzhao put his arm around her and explained, "It was my uncle who came to talk to me."
In addition to Commander Xie's own efforts, it can be said that the Xie family was supported by the Bai family, including Xie Donglou, the deputy director of the Ministry of Education. Xie Xilou was taken care of by Bai Qingzhu for several years when he was a child, and he had a falling out with Commander Xie because of her. He was originally his natural ally.
Anyway, the person who was alienating me is gone, so it's a good opportunity to repair the relationship with two people, which is always better than fighting alone.
It also let some people see that he and Commander Xie were not close because the other party was not a human being.
Ruan Mingfu nodded, "No matter what decision you make, I support you."
"real?"
Xie Yanzhao's throat moved slightly, and his eyes became deep and dangerous.
"Who am I to lie to you?"
Ruan Mingfu patted his face and smiled with her eyes curved.
"I'm curious, you're so fierce, why do so many people like you?"
Gu Yilin's preference for Xie Yanzhao could be said to be due to his unique taste, but Princess Finny was intriguing.
Could it be... that this bastard has some advantages that she doesn't know about?
"I'll tell you right now!"
Xie Yanzhao exerted force, picked up the person and the blanket, and strode towards the room.
When Ruan Mingfu lay on the soft bed, her mind was still a little dazed.
etc!
Wasn't she chatting with Xie Yanzhao just now, how did it become like this? Ruan Mingfu was about to run, but Xie Yanzhao's tall body pressed over and hugged Ruan Mingfu tightly.
He then covered the two of them with the quilt and said, "Go to sleep."
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
After all this time, this is it?
Not feeling disappointed or relieved, Ruan Mingfu stared at the ceiling with her eyes open before she fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up the next day, I saw a vast expanse of white outside.
Ruan Mingfu ran out excitedly, "It's snowing?"
"It's frost."
The dense frost flowers were distributed on the surface, as if a thin layer of snow had fallen. Ruan Mingfu curiously stretched out her hand, but it melted into water when she touched it. Only the coldness of her fingertips and the puddle of water on the leaf left her realize that there was originally a beautiful frost flower here.
"You don't dress properly."
Xie Yanzhao took the coat and put it on her.
"Oh," Ruan Mingfu was a little disappointed, "I thought it was snowing."
"It will be time to go down in a few days."
It would be strange if it didn’t snow with such thick frost.
Ruan Mingfu put on her coat obediently.
The black material makes her look as white as jade. She made this dress herself. Although it is black, it has no less details.
She put her cold hand into Xie Yanzhao's.
With indulgence in his eyes, he held Ruan Mingfu's hand tightly until it warmed up again.
"Oh, it seems we came at the wrong time."
Hearing this voice, the blue veins on Xie Yanzhao's forehead jumped reflexively.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Andre's annoying face.
"Why are you here again?"
"I come whenever I want, it's none of your business," Andre looked directly at Guang Xie Yanzhao, the two of them were full of gunpowder, "Don't think I don't know, this is Ruan's dowry, you shameless little white face."
He looked at Xie Yanzhao provocatively.
The other party clenched his fist, wishing he could hit Andre's arrogant and hateful face right now.
Ruan Mingfu stroked her forehead.
A childish ghost provoked Xie Yanzhao every day. Even if a dog man was steady, he would break down sometimes. Seeing that the two were about to fight, Ruan Mingfu hurried to stop them.
"Baron Andre, what's the matter?"
He covered his chest ostentatiously and looked at Ruan Mingfu with resentment.
"Ruan, you make me so sad. We have known each other for such a long time, but you are still unwilling to call my name..."
Xie Yanzhao pulled Ruan Mingfu over and said, "Then let it hurt like hell."
At this moment, he wanted to stab this bastard to death. If it weren't for the fact that foreign guests couldn't be beaten, Andrei's shameless appearance would have made him suffer many beatings from Xie Yanzhao.
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, she quickly pulled Xie Yanzhao's arm.
"Andre..." Ruan Mingfu swallowed the word "baron" in the face of the other party's resentful eyes, "Why are you here this time?"
This time seemed a little unusual, even the follower Finny didn't come.
"There is an exchange meeting in Beijing recently, and I would like to ask you to be my translator."
Andre put away the teasing expression on his face and became serious.
"Mr. Andre, my husband and I are busy, so I'm afraid we can't be your translator," Ruan Mingfu refused. "As far as I know, there are many capable people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If you ask, they will be very enthusiastic to help."
Andre covered his chest ostentatiously.
"Ruan, you actually rejected me. You make me so sad..."
Xie Yanzhao stepped forward and said, "If Baron Andre doesn't mind, I'm willing to serve you."
"you?"
Andre stopped pretending, but he couldn't hide the disgust on his face.
He treated Xie Yanzhao as air, his eyes full of lingering affection.
"Ruan, I hope you can consider my proposal carefully. It won't be too late to give me an answer tomorrow."
After saying this, Andre quickly left before Xie Yanzhao could chase him away.
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
"You are not allowed to go!"
Xie Yanzhao grabbed Ruan Mingfu and looked at him stubbornly.
"Okay, okay, I won't go."
Ruan Mingfu looked helpless.
Princess Xie has spoken, what else can she say?
…
After the two of them finished their meal, they took Xie Ming and Xie Yan to the courtyard. When they entered the house, they saw that Xie Donglou and Xie Xilou's family were already busy.
Seeing Xie Yanzhao coming over was like seeing his own son.
"Yan Zhao, why are you back so soon?"
"You are..." Before Xie Yanzhao could finish his words, he was interrupted by a voice that interrupted him, "You are the young master?"
Aunt Zhang looked at Xie Yanzhao with slightly red eyes.
"Well, now that he's grown up, Comrade Xiao... Bai should be relieved."
The Comrade Bai here certainly cannot be Bai Qianzhu. The one Zhang Ma is referring to is Xie Yanzhao's biological mother.
"You are...Mrs. Zhang?"
"Yes, I am Aunt Zhang." Aunt Zhang's hair was gray and her face was wrinkled. She looked at Xie Yanzhao with eyes like a faucet that could not be turned off. "I feel relieved to see you grow up like this."
Aunt Zhang is a distant relative of Commander Xie. She was asked to take care of Xie Yanzhao after he was born.
That year, Zhang Ma's son broke his leg and she had to go back to take care of him. For this reason, Bai Qingzhu specially chose Bai Qianzhu. But who would have known that she would pick a Zhongshan wolf. The year Xie Yanzhao spent under Bai Qianzhu's care, it was Zhang Ma who helped him.
Finally, he notified Grandpa Bai, otherwise there would be no Xie Yanzhao today.
"Is this your wife?" Aunt Zhang looked at Ruan Mingfu with tears in her eyes. "She's very good and pretty..."
Xie Yanzhao was at a loss for what to do. "Auntie Zhang, stop crying."
"I'll listen to you. I won't cry anymore."
Aunt Zhang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at him with relief in her eyes.
"Seeing you like this now, I can rest assured," she looked at the couple, "you should live a good life and don't quarrel. Girl, if he is angry, tell Aunt Zhang, I will definitely help you teach him a lesson!"
Ruan Mingfu lowered her head slightly, "He didn't bully me..."
"That's good," Aunt Zhang patted Ruan Mingfu's hand, "Qingzhu will definitely be pleased to see you like this."
Speaking of Bai Qingzhu, everyone's mood became depressed again.
"Aunt Zhang, where are you going?"
"this..."
Commander Xie was gone, and the house was going to be taken back. Where else could Zhang Ma go except back to the countryside?
"Or, why don't you go to my place?" Ruan Mingfu suggested. "It's hard to have only Guan Jiu to take care of it there. Why not ask Aunt Zhang to come over? The two of them will have company, and they can also help me look for a house."
Looking at the dog man's appearance, she knew that Aunt Zhang definitely meant a lot to him.
In that case, she might as well do a favor.
"How can this be good?"
To Zhang's mother, Xie Yanzhao might be closer to her than any other child in the family.
"It's settled," Ruan Mingfu said, noting that the two were interested. "But we are both in Wancheng, so I'm afraid we won't be back so soon."
"That won't do. I'm an old man, how can I trouble you?"
Aunt Zhang waved her hands repeatedly.
"Auntie Zhang, just stay," Xie Yanzhao said with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, "I want to eat the pea yellow you made."
After hearing this, Aunt Zhang burst into tears again.
Looking at the scar on his face, Aunt Zhang's tears flowed harder and harder.
"Okay, I'll do it right away!"
She wiped the tears from her face, turned around and walked towards the kitchen. Ruan Mingfu didn't even try to stop her.
"Mother Zhang is just like that," Xie Yanzhao said, looking at her from behind, as if thinking of his happy childhood days, "Just let her be busy."
Ruan Mingfu nodded.
Time passed slowly, and more and more people came. Ruan Mingfu stood beside Xie Yanzhao, and felt that her face was about to freeze from smiling.
There were also several people who cast curious glances at her.
Ruan Mingfu pretended not to see it.
"Yan Zhao, you have grown up."
A middle-aged couple stood in front of Xie Yanzhao, with a kind attitude, looking at him as if he were a younger generation of their own. He turned his head and looked at Ruan Mingfu again, with amazement in his eyes.
"This is your wife, right? Xu Zhu told me about it in a letter, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true."
The case was solved, it turned out to be Xu Zhu's parents.
Sure enough, Xie Yanzhao spoke: "Uncle, Aunt."
"Yan Zhao, please come to my house more often when you have time. You are busy today, so I won't bother you."
Xie Yanzhao nodded, "Slow down."
After a while of welcoming and seeing off guests, the number of people gradually decreased.
When it was almost over, Xie Yin suddenly rushed in. She stared at Ruan Mingfu fiercely, "Such a big thing, why didn't you inform me, am I not a member of the Xie family?"
Xie Donglou: “…”
Xie Xilou: “…”
All the Xie family members present: "..."
Is it the Xie family? Don't you know what's going on?
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
No, these days any dog can bark at her.
"Is your face not painful enough?" Ruan Mingfu looked at her, "Do you want me to slap you a few more times?"
Xie Yin couldn't help but shrink his body.
But looking at Ruan Mingfu's resentful eyes, not only did they not disappear, but they became even more vicious.
"…Originally."
Xie Yin might have really been injured by Commander Xie's kick.
She had lost all her previous vigor, her face was pale, and her lips were even lighter. When she rushed over, she was out of breath after running that short distance. She only stood there and said a few words, but her face became even paleer.
"Xie Yin, we haven't come to settle the score with you yet, but you come to our door."
Xie Donglou is not a good-tempered person.
When he saw Xie Yin, he thought of her bitch mother, and how could he have a good expression?
"Second...Second Uncle."
When Commander Xie was still around, she would always look down on people. Not to mention Xie Xilou, even Xie Donglou had seen her expression.
"Don't," Xie Donglou rolled his eyes at her, "Zeng Erya, I'm not your second uncle."
When Xie Yin heard the name Zeng Erya, humiliation flashed in her eyes. She wanted to jump up and curse, but when she thought about the current situation, she could only suppress the anger that was rising up in her head.
"Uncle, my name is Xie Yin now, and my father also recognizes me as his daughter."
"Go find whoever recognizes him."
Xie Yin frowned.
Commander Xie is already dead, who can she turn to?
"I don't care. I am a member of the Xie family anyway. I should have a share of Dad's things."
The real purpose is revealed.
Ruan Mingfu sat aside, eating the pea yellow dish made by Zhang Ma.
It must be said that there is a reason why Aunt Zhang can stay in the Xie family. Just for her cooking skills, Ruan Mingfu can't let her run away.
Unfortunately, she couldn't take Zhang Ma back to Wancheng at this time...
A look of distress flashed across Ruan Mingfu's beautiful eyes.
"You are shameless!"
Xie Xilou was such a good-tempered person, but when he looked at Xie Yin, he wanted to beat her to death.
"Third uncle, don't mention it," An Yuzhu glanced at Xie Yin, who was sitting on the ground with a rogue look on his face, "Both mother and daughter are sluts, and the younger one is even worse than the father. I just can't understand how you have the nerve to make such a request?"
"I don't care. If you don't care, I will sue you!"
Bai Qianzhu's sentence had already been handed down, and she was lucky that she was not executed. It was a pity that she could only stay in prison until she died.
Xie Yin couldn't help but shudder when he thought about how Bai Qianzhu looked ten years older when he saw her.
She followed Bai Qianzhu's instructions, got the passbook where she kept her private money, and hurried over.
"Go ahead and sue me. I'm just afraid you won't!"
If Xie Yin was a man, Xie Donglou would have slapped him in the face long ago.
"Your mother killed your uncle, and you, a murderer's woman, have the nerve to come and fight for his property. You are so shameless, bah!"
An Yuzhu glared at her.
Really, that bitch mother and daughter constantly refreshed her understanding. She felt that even if she encountered something more explosive in the future, she would still be able to remain calm.
"No, Xie Yin is Big Brother's biological child!"
An Yuzhu: “…”
I'm sorry, but this news still doesn't make her feel good.
