Chapter 025: Satisfaction
I learned that the person who delivered the items was a bodyguard, not someone personally commissioned by Sister Ye, and had already left.
Qin Xue was undoubtedly disappointed.
She also wanted to ask the other party if he knew where Sister Ye was at the moment, and she also wanted to bring some things to Sister Ye.
However, when she saw what the servant was carrying, her mood quickly brightened.
Although he really wanted to open the box and take a look at the things immediately, it was more important to go to the front yard to see Liu Zhiyan's brother first.
So she told the nanny to put the things in the flower hall and she would open them later, and then she followed Liu Zhiyan out.
Before the two of them even reached the study, they faintly heard the sound of two people having a pleasant conversation coming from the study.
Logically, there should be nothing that could not be heard by outsiders if two people who met for the first time could have such a pleasant conversation. However, the two of them still made some noise to alert the two people in the study that they were there before continuing to approach the study.
Then, as the two of them approached, they heard Qin Laicai say to Liu Yulan in a loud voice, "It would take days and nights to tell the story of Lord Ye. Let's stop here today and save some for later."
"Speaking of which, the reason why my daughter met your brother was somewhat related to Lord Ye. It's a pity that a commoner like me is destined to never meet her in person in this lifetime, otherwise I would definitely give her a huge gift to thank her."
"With Minxing's talent, if he were to take part in the provincial examination, he wouldn't have any problem getting the top spot, let alone the first place. As long as he passes the exam and becomes an official, he will definitely have the opportunity to meet her in person in the future. It won't be too late for you to give her the title of Hong then."
Although Qin Laicai felt that the possibility was not great, after all, even if Liu Zhiyan passed the exam successfully, his official position would not be high at the beginning, so how could he easily meet a high-ranking official like Lord Ye?
However, if Liu Zhiyan really passed the exam, their family would be considered to have crossed the social ladder, and they would have a greater chance of meeting people than now. "If that day ever comes, I will never forget what I said today."
Liang Liu Zhiyan, who had already reached the door of the study, naturally took over Qin Laicai's words, "In order to give Uncle the opportunity to meet Lord Ye, Minxing must work hard and strive to succeed in one fell swoop."
"It would be best if it were natural like this, but you can make a living anyway. You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself." To Qin Laicai, this son-in-law who had just appeared in his doorstep was much better than any son-in-law he had ever imagined.
He knows how to be content and won't push too much.
He was content, but his daughter was not. "But I want to see Lord Ye."
Hearing the eager voice beside him, Liu Zhiyan glanced at her sideways and said, "Okay, your future husband will definitely fulfill your wish."
When Qin Xue heard her father mention his idol, Lord Ye, she couldn't help but speak.
After he finished speaking, he realized that Liu Zhiyan's brother was in the study. He was annoyed that he had lost himself in thought when he heard about Lord Ye. It was really wrong. Then he heard Liu Zhiyan say such blunt words in front of his brother, and his face instantly flushed. "You...you...you...bullshit...what nonsense are you talking about?"
If she had known that this guy was a talkative person, she would not have suggested going out to meet people. It was so embarrassing.
When Liu Zhiyan spoke, Liu Yulan turned her gaze to the door.
At first glance, I saw a delicate little girl standing next to her younger brother who had been handsome since childhood.
Of course, although he was Liu Zhiyan's brother, it was not appropriate for him to stare at him, so he just glanced at him quickly.
With just one glance, she realized that even when standing next to such an outstanding brother, this girl's brilliance was not overshadowed at all.
It’s not that this girl’s appearance is so outstanding, but her temperament.
Most girls would feel weak when standing next to a man who was more handsome than them, but Qin Xue didn't feel that way at all. That glare, that accusing look, simply displayed the girl's coquettishness to the fullest.
The most important thing was that his brother, who was always impatient to deal with girls, looked at her with indulgence on his face, without any displeasure at all.
At this moment, Liu Yulan truly felt that his brother, whom he had always worried would end up alone, had actually met the woman who made him willing to return to the mortal world.
At this moment, he understood: this younger brother was not born indifferent to girls, but he had never met the right person.
However, thinking about what he had just said, it was indeed inappropriate. Liu Yulan frowned and lectured, "Minxing, you are fooling around. Don't you know that if outsiders hear what you said, Miss Qin will be criticized?"
The girl, startled by his sudden harsh voice, subconsciously replied, "But there are no outsiders here!"
“…” Oh, he’s quite bold and silly, so interesting.
Even though he was clearly frightened by his own voice, he still had the audacity to speak up to defend his brother.
Not bad, not bad.
He was in a good mood, but Qin Laicai, who was sitting at the top of the table, was in a bad mood. He turned his head and explained to Liu Yulan, "I raised this girl to be very stubborn. Once she sets her mind on someone, she won't tolerate anyone criticizing her. I'm sorry to have embarrassed Qing Zhuo."
Then he waved to Qin Xue, "Why don't you come over quickly and greet Brother Liu."
After realizing what she had said, Qin Xue wanted to just turn around and leave.
Wow, how could she say such shameless words.
He said this in front of Brother Liu Zhiyan.
She was too embarrassed to see anyone.
I can't leave, but I still have to try to save my image.
So, after hearing Qin Laicai's words, she calmed herself down, walked forward gracefully, and bowed to Liu Yulan. "Although I have only met Sister Ye twice, I have always regarded her as an elder. Since you are her son, you are naturally not an outsider."
He neither regretted defending Liu Zhiyan nor cleverly avoided her from considering Liu Yulan as his own because of Liu Zhiyan's trap.
What a quick mind!!
No wonder his mother chose her.
No wonder his brother was moved.
He just scolded his brother because he thought it was not good for him to be so rude to the girl. Now that the girl herself had no objection, he certainly would not offend her and would not dwell on the topic anymore. So he followed Qin Xue's words and said, "Since they are not outsiders, there is no need to be polite."
Thinking of the things that the escort company had just delivered to his mother, he said, "She's still thinking about you when she goes out. She treats you as her junior."
In the early years, when his mother went out, she would bring things for the four of them on the way, but after they grew up, she no longer did that. She didn't expect that the benefits they couldn't enjoy were actually enjoyed by the girl in front of her, whom she had only met twice.
It can be seen that even if this girl was not about to become her daughter-in-law, his mother still liked her very much.
Qin Xue was extremely happy to be remembered by the elders she respected. "We had great conversations twice, and she gave me a lot of advice."
"She said I'm suitable for a career in diplomacy. Although I don't know exactly what diplomacy entails yet, I will study foreign languages diligently and make it worthwhile for her to give me such a good opportunity."
When talking about the people and things she likes, Qin Xue no longer has the reserved feeling she had just now.
Instead, there is a strong sense of yearning and a sense of burgeoning power.
Nowadays, women in the boudoir are bound by various concepts, and there are very few who are like his mother, who are not restrained in front of men.
There was something faintly visible in the girl before him.
Thinking of what Qin Laicai had just said, Liu Yulan began to understand why this girl was not reserved in front of men.
Different from other women nowadays who are influenced by the idea that husband is the God, this girl has been instilled with the idea that "if a man is obedient, keep him, if he is disobedient, get out". To her, men are not like the sky, but people who can be told to get out at will.
The idea that men are the heaven has permeated her bones, so naturally she no longer has to rely on him or respect him for the rest of her life, and she no longer feels restrained.
Liu Yulan once again lamented the venom of his mother's eyes. "Your idea is very practical. Learn the necessary skills first, and you will understand the rest when the time comes."
"Actually, I didn't understand these things before. It was only when I decided to pursue Lady Ye and learned about her deeds that I gradually began to have these thoughts." Thinking that sooner or later she would know what kind of person she used to be, Qin Xue whispered, "Before, with my father's indulgence, I only knew how to eat, drink and have fun."
Speaking of this, Qin Laicai sighed, "I always thought I could protect her for the rest of her life. As long as she was happy, it was fine. I didn't require her to learn anything. If the news of the salt administration reform hadn't caught me off guard, I would have rushed over to find out what was going on. This girl, unaware of the situation and ostracized by others, suddenly began to admire Lord Ye."
"I was lucky enough to run into her sister Ye. In just two months, she's become a completely different person."
"Without your unconditional indulgence in her early years, she wouldn't be what she is now." If Qin Laicai had been like other parents since she was a child, asking Qin Xue to learn this and that, she would be no different from other girls nowadays, and would not be in his mother's eyes.
It was rare to hear someone affirm that his doting on his daughter was right. Qin Laicai felt like he had finally met someone who understood him. "Everyone says that if I raise my child this way, I'll regret it sooner or later."
She used to not care what others said, but now she has the idea of fighting for her own reputation. "Dad, I will work hard and use facts to show them that your love for me has not made you regret it."
"You know Dad doesn't care about these things." He just hopes his daughter can be happy all her life. "Dad still says the same old thing: Just do what you like, don't worry about what others say or think."
"What I'm doing now is what I like." She was very glad that she had found something more meaningful than eating and drinking. "With you here, I won't let myself down."
After his mother unconditionally indulged her child, Liu Yulan once again saw someone who unconditionally indulged his child.
Coincidentally, these two strangers, children who were unconditionally indulged by each other, miraculously came together.
It's true that there is no coincidence in the world.
Liu Yulan was looking forward to seeing how these two children, who were also raised with unconditional pampering, would live their lives together.
Liu Zhiyan, who had been playing the background role, felt a chill down his spine when he saw Liu Yulan's burning gaze. He looked at his brother suspiciously, "What are you thinking about? Why do you look like you have bad intentions?"
