Chapter 104 The Secrets of the Wealthy
Xie Zhili's words were like a huge rock, smashing into the lake, causing huge waves, and then there was dead silence again.
The shopkeeper widened his eyes. Oh my god, how lucky was he to have discovered the secret of such a wealthy family today!
He didn't dare to stay for a moment, for fear of losing his life, so he ran away quickly.
Xie Zhiwen's knuckles turned white as they rested on the edge of the table, and his ears were buzzing. What did his brother mean by this...?
Mu Huaian looked at Yu Qinghuan with concern, but saw that she was holding the chopsticks tightly, her eyes fixed on Xie Zhili.
Yu Qinghuan knew that Xie Zhili had deliberately said such misleading words to Xie Zhiwen. If Xie Zhiwen had not been beside her, she would have rushed over to get a piece of rag and tightly blocked his mouth.
But at this moment, she could only stare at Xie Zhili, warning him with her eyes not to talk nonsense.
Xie Zhili, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows in a malicious manner, mouthed "beg me", and slowly licked his wine-stained lower lip with the tip of his tongue, hinting at Yu Qinghuan.
Yu Qinghuan's forehead twitched. If possible, she really didn't want to understand it.
Xie Zhiwen was torn between his conscience and his desires in his mind. Did something happen between Yu Qinghuan and his brother? Was this the reason why she was reluctant to sleep with him?
It’s not that he was overthinking it, but his brother’s words made it impossible not to think too much.
What's more, everyone thought she was dead at that time. Yu Qinghuan was a widow who was powerless and might go looking for a new backer. Without a doubt, her brother was the most suitable one... There were many such dirty things in the mansions of the wealthy families in Beijing.
He looked at Yu Qinghuan, who was silent beside him, his chest heaving violently, but he didn't act impulsively. Instead, he looked at his brother in front of him, suppressed his shame and anger, and laughed dryly with his Adam's apple rolling. "What do you mean by pleasing others?"
He looked calm, but his voice was trembling and his hand was tightly gripping the wine glass, almost breaking it.
Yu Qinghuan immediately noticed Xie Zhiwen's hand beside her tightly gripping the wine glass, almost breaking it. She wanted to explain, but if she spoke at this time, it would only arouse suspicion.
She looked at Xie Zhili, her eyes trembling, with three parts panic and seven parts pleading, begging him not to talk nonsense at this time.
Looking at Yu Qinghuan's pleading eyes with Xie Zhili, Mu Huaian's heart suddenly ached.
He couldn't help but wonder, during this year, had Yu Qinghuan been in such a difficult situation in Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, and had he been begging others for help like he was now?
Yu Qinghuan's pleading soothed the anger in Xie Zhili's heart. He curled his lips slightly, picked up the wine glass on the table, took a slow sip, met Xie Zhiwen's eager eyes, and said slowly, "Brother, don't you know? In the year you were away, my sister-in-law couldn't eat and fainted several times. We even called the doctor several times."
"My sister-in-law's maid came to me for help, so I took the initiative and invited the cook to the farm to take care of my sister-in-law."
Hearing this, Xie Zhiwen was stunned, his anger dissipated, and he looked at Yu Qinghuan. He had thought that Yu Qinghuan would be upset to know that he was dead, but he didn't know that she fainted and asked for a doctor because she couldn't eat.
"Ah Huan, why didn't you tell me about this?"
Yu Qinghuan felt uneasy when she heard Xie Zhili's nonsense. It was impossible for her to not be able to eat. Even if the sky fell, she, Yu Qinghuan, would put food first.
But when she met Xie Zhiwen's inquiring gaze, she lowered her eyes dejectedly, "It's all in the past, not worth mentioning."
Seeing Yu Qinghuan acting so pretentiously, Xie Zhili felt his teeth itching and really wanted to hug her and bite her a few times to vent his anger.
Xie Zhili's explanation made everyone feel relieved, especially Xie Zhiwen.
At this moment, Xie Zhiwen pulled Yu Qinghuan's hand under the table and held it tightly.
As angry as he was just now, he felt as guilty at this moment. He secretly swore in his heart that he must treat Yu Qinghuan well, otherwise he would be unworthy of her love.
Yu Qinghuan was the one who felt truly guilty. Because she felt guilty, she did not break free from Xie Zhiwen's hand and let him hold it.
Mu Huaian didn't escape their eyes from what they did under the table. He saw that Yu Qinghuan was soft-hearted and obviously couldn't let go of Xie Zhiwen... Would she really be willing to leave the Marquis' Mansion?
When this question popped up in his mind, he quickly picked up the wine glass and used the drink to cover up his loss of composure. He smiled bitterly in his heart, wondering when did he become such a jealous villain.
Xie Zhili put down the cup in his hand and made an excuse to go out for some fresh air. Before leaving, he glanced at Yu Qinghuan.
After a while, Yu Qinghuan drank two sips of plum wine, told Xie Zhiwen that he was going to the bathroom, and left the private room.
Mu Huaian stayed in the private room to drink and talk with Xie Zhiwen, but his mind drifted outside. He couldn't help but wonder what Yu Qinghuan and Xie Zhili would say outside?
Xie Zhili is a cunning man. Will he threaten her?
At the same time, as Yu Qinghuan walked out of the private room, she was grabbed by a big, hot hand and dragged into the empty room next to her.
Before she could react, she was pushed against the door, and the back of her head hit the door panel hard. The overwhelming smell of alcohol hit her in the face. Xie Zhili's eyes were bloodshot and he almost went crazy.
Xie Zhili sneered, "You're so biased, avoiding me every day, and yet today you're having an affair with Mu Huaian in the mansion?"
Yu Qinghuan's heart skipped a beat; he really knew it.
Holding the idea that she absolutely couldn't admit it at this moment, she laughed dryly and pretended not to understand, "What do you mean by compromise? Don't talk nonsense."
Xie Zhili was burning with jealousy and turned her over. He held her waist with his big hand and clamped her wrists against the door with his other hand, forcing her to be unable to move.
Yu Qinghuan felt a sense of unease, her heart beating rapidly, "Xie Zhili, don't mess around here!"
Xie Zhili: "It's fine with Mu Huaian, but it's nonsense with me?"
He was burning with jealousy.
Yu Qinghuan turned her head away, but this only angered Xie Zhili even more.
Xie Zhili whispered in her ear, "Believe it or not, I'll call both of them over to watch."
Yu Qinghuan's eyes were filled with panic as she began to struggle, but she couldn't break free. She was extremely angry and said, "Could you please stop involving others!"
Xie Zhili laughed in anger: "When we were in Zhuangzi before, didn't you like me like this?"
