Chapter 17: Swords and Shadows



She gave up arguing with these people. They only saw candy and would eat anything they saw.

Judging from the way Zhou Jiyun had just touched her head, Xie Jing thought he had extensive experience petting dogs and his movements were so skillful. Rubbing and patting, and then tidying up the messed-up hair, what else could this be but petting a dog?

Taking another bite of the sweet snow pear, Xie Jing suddenly felt that if Zhou Jiyun continued like this, this marriage might not be as utilitarian and cold as she had expected?

In the afternoon, when Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun were taking their lunch breaks, news about the wedding had already appeared on the Internet.

In the Internet age, people worship capital heroes. They pry into the privacy of the rich and try to explore the movements of the so-called famous families in order to reveal the ups and downs of the wealthy to the public.

Zhou Jiyun, who comes from a well-established family and is a gifted aristocrat, is a media darling. However, Zhou Jiyun is usually too low-key, so the internet is full of nothing but rumors and gossip photos, with no trace of him.

Now that he is married, and there are so many highlights at the wedding, how can it not excite the onlookers?

His marriage partner, Xie Jing, has also aroused the public's curiosity. Although the Xie family is currently in financial difficulty, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. The Xie family is still a wealthy family, and Xie Jing is a typical rich girl.

After various wedding videos were posted online, the one with the most views was Zhou Jiyun publicly clarifying the rumors and confessing his love to Xie Jing, and Xie Jing's reply was both emotionally intelligent and literaryly talented.

Who among those who have seen this video would not praise the handsome man and beautiful woman for their deep love?

Even the entertainment media jumped on the bandwagon, focusing on the sapphire jewelry Xie Jing wore at her wedding. They'd already conducted detailed assessments of its origins, valuation, and more.

Including the VV wedding dress that Xie Jing was wearing, it was also claimed at this time. It was still on the runway one moment, and in the blink of an eye, it was on the bride. It must be said that Zhou Jiyun's wedding caused a frenzy in both the fashion and entertainment circles.

Not to be outdone, the financial media even circled the wedding guests in the crowd's video. They were essentially all celebrities and prominent families, and their mere presence alone elevated the wedding's style to an unparalleled high.

In the Internet age, the speed at which information spreads is undoubtedly astonishing.

Naturally, some people will lose their minds when they see this news, like Xie Wuyou.

Xie Wuyou had been fuming for a long time after being ordered not to attend Xie Jing's wedding and having his past exposed. Seeing the videos from the wedding only made him feel even worse.

[The powerful alliance between the two powerful families, so envious. 】

[A cool and talented young lady and a gentle and abstinent boss, isn't this a good theme? Has the novel reflected reality?]

[This body shape difference... I love it! ]

[Help! When he hugged the young lady, the veins on the back of his hand popped out... I love this feeling...]

[Why don't you continue kissing? Do you treat us as outsiders?]

[The one upstairs, wear a pair of bitter tea leaves. ]

[They're both very expressive, but when it comes to talking, I'm on the young lady's side.]

[Rumor has it, the eldest daughter's family has fallen on hard times...]

[That's even better. A down-and-out rich girl meets a gentle, wealthy young man. This is a realistic redemption story. Who wouldn't fall for it?]

Looking at the comments that kept climbing up below, Xie Wuyou felt even more irritated.

It was clearly a marriage she didn't want, but now she discovered that this was a top-tier, wealthy, and self-disciplined son-in-law. But what was the point of regretting it now? She could only secretly rage in frustration.

Angrily throwing her phone aside, Xie Wuyou sulked alone. But soon she smiled and dug out her address book to call someone: "Is this He Shiyu? I'm Xie Jing's sister..."

Xie Jing didn't know Xie Wuyou was plotting to disrupt her marriage, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care. She was dealing with Liu Limin, who barged in with a group of people after she changed into her toasting clothes.

There were also several relatives of the Xie family traveling with them, of course mainly relatives from Liu Liming's side, including Liu Liming's mother, sister-in-law, her aunts and uncles, etc.

As soon as they came in, everyone started to use all kinds of PUA words, saying that Xie Jing was able to marry Zhou Jiyun entirely thanks to the Xie family, and asked Xie Jing not to forget her roots after marriage, and how difficult it was for Liu Liming and Xie Xuerong to raise her.

Xie Jing simply smiled in response to their words, neither confirming nor denying them. Her main point was, "You have your say, and it's up to me whether I listen or not." As for seeking Zhou Jiyun's help, she brought up the idea of ​​an arranged marriage.

"Aunt, Jiyun and I married to make our family company run smoothly. No matter how capable he is, he can't help the whole world, right?"

"If I help you, I won't be able to take care of my company at home..."

How could Liu Limin accept this outcome? No matter how good her family is, it's not as good as her own. She immediately stood on Xie Jing's side: "Jingjing is right. If it weren't for the problems at our family company, our family wouldn't have asked Jingjing to marry."

"Right now, we're counting on our grandpa to help us through this difficult time. Jingjing and Jiyun just got married, and you're asking Jingjing to run around for you. What if there's a rift between the young couple? What will we do then?"

"Or will you compensate me with a son-in-law as outstanding as Ru Jiyun?"

Liu Limin's sister-in-law said sheepishly, "How can you find such an outstanding son-in-law like Mr. Zhou? Well, it's just your aunt who's anxious. Jingjing, don't take it to heart. Your aunt doesn't mean to ruin your relationship."

Xie Jing curled her lips slightly: "Aunt, if you don't take it to heart, then I naturally won't take it to heart either."

Liu Limin's sister-in-law's face froze. She thought to herself that although Xie Jing was usually taciturn, she knew how to manipulate people with her words. But her words were so beautiful that she couldn't exploit the situation.

Xie Jing smiled. She was indeed not favored in the Xie family, but she was not someone who could be bullied.

After realizing that she could never compare to Xie Wuyang and Xie Wuyou in the hearts of Xie Xuerong and Liu Liming, Xie Jing did not develop a self-pitying nature. From then on, she no longer longed for these illusory family ties, and she only fought for interests.

If she didn't fight for it, she would have no place in the Xie family. Therefore, whether in the Xie family or in society, Xie Jing would not give up her interests.

So Xie Jing naturally had her own way of dealing with people. Just like now, she could easily deal with the female relatives headed by her aunt.

Grandma Liu took Xie Jing's hand and said, "Jingjing, you're getting married today. I'm happy for you. It's better for you and Xiao Zhou to live a good life in the future. Come back and visit us when you have time. You don't have to worry about the company at home. Your uncle, aunt, and parents are all grown up. Do they really need to rely on a child like you?"
