"Are they discussing a marriage? Butler, does the Pei family have a business deal they want with us? Yes, we've agreed. We'll say it's for my granddaughter... no, Miss Xie Li's dowry!"
Luo Zhihan sighed softly, "Grandpa, your granddaughter is also engaged."
"What engagement? I don't have a granddaughter, don't talk nonsense!" Old Master Xu had been talking about his granddaughter, but now he denied it outright.
His eyes, which had become slightly cloudy due to age, were now gleaming with a sharp light, clearly indicating that he had his own plans.
Luo Zhihan didn't expose him, and gracefully and calmly got up to take her leave.
The moment the door opened, a cool summer night breeze swept in, ruffling the boy's black shirt, making him appear as elegant and refined as a jade tree, exuding an air of noble grace.
In the blink of an eye, the door closed, the wind stopped, and the elegant young man had vanished.
Grandpa Xu had been pretending to be confused, but now, watching the boy's figure disappear, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
He seemed both somewhat regretful and relieved.
As soon as Luo Zhihan stepped out, someone approached him: "Young Master."
"Madam Xie is back?" he asked casually.
The man said, "Yes, she should have received our information, but she hasn't taken any action against Xie Shiyou. In fact, she hasn't contacted him since she sent him away yesterday."
This is not like Madam Xie's personality.
If any outsider shows the slightest disrespect to Xie Ziyuan, Madam Xie will threaten to kill them without mercy.
Madam Xie's reputation for protecting her own is well-known among the wealthy and noble ladies of Linjiang City.
How come the biological child has suffered so much injustice, yet remains completely silent?
Could it be... that a hint of suspicion flashed in that person's eyes because the biological child was not as considerate and sensible as the adopted one?
Luo Zhihan seemed unsurprised, and sighed slightly: "Observe for a few days first. If Madam Xie still doesn't make a move, send a copy to Old Master Xie's side."
The man bowed and accepted the order, then whispered a few more words in response.
"The master said that the Ming family also went to Shenjia Village at the foot of Tiandu Mountain and brought back a girl named Ming Xiaoxiao."
"So you can also pay attention to that girl named Ming Xiaoxiao..."
...
As the man spoke, his voice grew softer, and he glanced nervously at the boy in front of him.
Luo Zhihan's expression was calm, even slightly smiling, "That won't be necessary. It's just a fake, only the Ming family treasures it."
Her smile was like cherry blossoms illuminated by the snow, dazzlingly beautiful, yet carrying a chilling edge.
The man then swallowed the rest of his sentence.
He then added, "By the way, the Asia director of L brand just called to inquire about that custom-made Cinderella haute couture dress."
I mentioned that Xie Yunqiu had called to request a size change.
He suspected that the skirt had been illegally taken, so he asked if you wanted to call the police?
Luo Zhihan paused slightly and saw a figure returning from the direction of the Xie family villa. It seemed to be Butler Xu.
“There’s no need to call the police.” Luo Zhihan got into the car and sat down, her eyes clear and calm. “Butler Xu is already handling this matter.”
"As for Xie Yunqiu and her daughter, let's put them on the brand's permanent blacklist."
——
The next morning, at the Xie family villa.
Xie Li was completely stunned when he was asked to come downstairs.
She hadn't fully recovered yet. Last night, she read a few books and finished the test paper assigned by Jiang Baili. It was already past eleven o'clock when she was so sleepy that she didn't even bother to read her friend's annoying text messages and went straight to sleep.
She was planning to sleep until 10 a.m., but the housekeeper came knocking on the door at 7 a.m., respectfully and politely asking her to come downstairs.
