As for whether there was any truth in Xie Xuerong's words, Xie Jing didn't dwell on it. After all, Xie Xuerong and his wife had raised her, and Xie Jing felt she had repaid them with her marriage. If the Xie family encountered any difficulties in the future, it would not be her business.
How could she, alone, shoulder the responsibility of all the people in the Xie family? It was already extremely difficult for her to take care of herself and manage her marriage well.
Xie Wuyang was the last one to fall. He looked at Xie Jing and wanted to say something, but he opened and closed his mouth again. Finally, he handed over a bank card: "This is the money I've saved over the years. I've been interning at the company for the past few years, and I haven't spent my salary carelessly. I've put it all in here."
"I know your parents have treated you unfairly. I want to apologize to you on their behalf. This money..."
Xie Jing pushed his hand away: "You keep this money. My family is already in financial difficulty, so why would I need you to add to my makeup? Okay, hurry back and be careful on the road."
Xie Jing had the intention of distancing herself from the Xie family. If she took Xie Wuyang's money at this time, it would obviously be even more difficult for her to cut ties with the Xie family.
"How could your brother-in-law treat me badly? You don't have to worry about me." When necessary, Xie Jing brought up Zhou Jiyun without any hesitation. After all, Zhou Jiyun had said that the more she relied on his power outside, the happier he would be.
Sure enough, Zhou Jiyun's eyebrows rose a little. He patted the back of Xie Jing's hand and said, "Of course I can't treat my wife badly. Then what would I be like? Can't I even support my wife?"
Xie Wuyang was a little disappointed that the card was not delivered. Xie Jing looked at Liu Limin who was deliberately slowing down her pace in front of her and couldn't help but push Xie Wuyang: "Mom and Dad are waiting for you, don't keep them waiting for too long."
Xie Wuyang could only put away the bank card and then catch up with Liu Limin and Xie Xuerong. Looking at their leaving figures, Xie Jing laughed at herself. How afraid was Liu Limin that Xie Wuyang would support her as a sister?
Zhou Jiyun saw all of this but said nothing. Seeing the housekeeper and his second uncle Zhou Zhida helping Grandpa over, Zhou Jiyun smiled and said, "Are we staying at the old house tonight? Or will we move to the city tomorrow?"
Xie Jing didn't care where she lived: "It's fine with me. I'll do as you say."
She really didn't care. Could Zhou Jiyun really let her sleep on the street? This would be a disgrace to Zhou Jiyun himself.
Xie Jing had no objection, and Zhou Jiyun felt even better: "Someone will pick up the things in the room later, you don't have to worry about it."
Xie Jing thought that Zhou Jiyun was really thoughtful and had arranged everything very well.
The Zhou family’s old house was a very typical Chinese garden style. Because it was very late, Xie Jing was unable to get a close look. She only vaguely knew that the old house was very large and there seemed to be rockery pavilions?
Zhou Jiyun took her hand and said, "I'll take you for a good walk around the old house tomorrow. Now we should go to bed. We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."
Xie Jing knew that tomorrow was the day they would go to get their marriage certificate. It wasn't uncommon for them to hold the wedding first and then get the marriage certificate. After they got the marriage certificate, the Zhou family's funds would be remitted to the Xie family, and the Xie family's predicament would be completely resolved.
Seeing Xie Jing looking at him sideways without saying anything, Zhou Jiyun smiled and said, "Originally, I was thinking of taking you out for dinner to celebrate after getting the marriage certificate. But my grandmother and parents are no longer around, so I wanted to take you to meet them after getting the marriage certificate."
Xie Jing nodded: "As I should, this is business."
Just for the two sets of jewelry Zhou Jiyun sent her today, Xie Jing felt that these were not a big deal. Zhou Jiyun was really generous. Thinking of the set of jade jewelry she wore that night, Xie Jing couldn't help but smile.
She is not so noble that she doesn't like these things. In fact, she is also an ordinary person with worldly preferences. Which girl doesn't like jewelry and fancy clothes?
After a whole day of wedding today, the old man was exhausted even as a relative. Now as soon as he came back, he prepared a room to rest.
Before leaving, he reminded Xie Jing: "We don't have so many rules at home. We've already served the tea today. You should have a good rest tonight. You don't have to get up early tomorrow. You're all exhausted from preparing for the wedding these days."
Could Xie Jing not understand what the old man meant? But she kept a calm face: "I understand. Thank you for your concern, Grandpa."
The old man waved his hand and said, "I'm going to go back and rest first. Jiyun, take good care of your wife."
"I know, grandpa, don't worry." Zhou Jiyun watched the old man and the housekeeper leave with a smile. As for his second uncle Zhou Zhida and his family who came back at the same time as the old man, they went back to their rooms to rest after entering the old house.
With just this one move, Xie Jing could tell that Zhou Jiyun had a delicate relationship with his second uncle's family. But thinking about it, she could understand why her grandfather handed the company to Zhou Jiyun even though he already had a son. This was something worth pondering.
Zhou Jiyun led Xie Jing to the east wing, and continued to introduce along the way: "This is my parents' room. After my parents passed away unexpectedly, their room was still preserved in the house, but grandpa never came in once."
"Later, when I became an adult, I lived here alone," Zhou Jiyun said, leading Xie Jing along the corridors. "This is the study and tea room. If you've never been here before, you might get lost the first time you come here."
Xie Jing looked at the dim lights around her, then at the flowers, plants, and trees outside the veranda. She listened to the rustling of branches in the autumn wind, and her voice trembled unconsciously. "This old house... is so quiet... Are there any bad rumors?"
She really didn't dare to go out alone at this time of night.
Zhou Jiyun noticed that Xie Jing's hands were shaking a little, and when he heard her voice was trembling a little, he couldn't help but find it funny.
Xie Jing glanced at him: "Don't laugh."
"I'm not laughing. My room is right in front. It will be fine once we get there." Zhou Jiyun simply quickened his pace. If he delayed any further, he was worried that Xie Jing would be scared.
After arriving at the room, Xie Jing felt much better. Now she also had the mind to observe Zhou Jiyun's room carefully, but...
"Do you have so few things here?" Xie Jing walked around the room and found that Zhou Jiyun's personal belongings were very few.
Zhou Jiyun leaned against the door with his arms folded across his chest. "I rarely stay at the old house because it's inconvenient to go to the company. I only come back for two days on the first weekend of every month, so naturally there aren't many things in the old house."
"If you want to know, you can take a look tomorrow. It's getting late, so hurry up and wash up and get some rest." Zhou Jiyun pushed open the door to the cloakroom: "I asked someone to buy some daily necessities. You can try them first. If they don't fit, I'll replace them for you later."
Xie Jing came over to take a look. There were a few clothes hanging in the cloakroom, mostly from high-end brands. Next to them were two sets of home clothes, which looked washed and ironed.
"It's fine." Xie Jing didn't look at it any more. She picked up a set of home clothes and said, "I'm going to wash up first. Where is the bathroom?"
