"She's a complete stranger, don't bother with her."
Ye Zhizhou's excitement was instantly extinguished by Qin Xuan. What happened to their childhood sweethearts and rivals? They're all gone!
The girl was unhappy when she heard Qin Xuan's words, and her mother was even more unhappy. She stepped forward and vented her anger on Qin Xuan.
"Qin Xuan, I think you've gotten quite bold, daring to talk about your aunt like that!"
Ye Zhizhou: ...
Aunt? Then this girl must be Qin Xuan's cousin or younger cousin?
She had never met Qin Xuan's siblings before, but judging from Qin Xuan's attitude, their relationship didn't seem very good.
Qin Xuan didn't even lift his eyelids. "What's wrong? Has the old man stopped giving you money lately?"
Qin Xuan's aunt was so angry that she couldn't even hold onto her bag. She plopped down in the seat next to him, and her daughter stood next to her as well.
"Mom, don't be angry. Qin Xuan is just being cold because we haven't seen each other for so long."
She even spoke up for Qin Xuan.
Ye Zhizhou smelled the tea wafting from her and suddenly understood why Qin Xuan disliked these two people.
"Don't defend him. He doesn't respect me as his aunt at all, and he doesn't treat you as his cousin either, humph!"
Ye Zhizhou found the two of them too noisy. He placed his hand on the knife beside him and gripped the hilt. "Have you said enough?"
Qin Xuan's aunt looked at Ye Zhizhou and said disdainfully, "This is a family matter of the Huo family, what business is it of yours!"
Qin Xuan frowned involuntarily when he saw that she had actually turned her attention to Ye Zhizhou.
"She is my fiancée, the future mistress of the Qin Mansion, and the wife of the Huo Group. Tell me, is it any of her business or not?"
Qin Xuan's aunt, Huo Qingjuan, was stunned for a long time after hearing these words.
Ye Zhizhou never expected that her title would suddenly increase threefold.
"The Huo Group doesn't even belong to you yet, and you're already looking for a mistress for it. If the old man finds out, do you think he'll still let you be the heir to this group?"
Huo Qingjuan suddenly slammed her bag onto the table. The tabletop was made of glass, and the loud noise drew everyone's attention.
Qin Xuan pursed his thin lips slightly. He had already given her a chance, but she herself did not cherish it.
"Whether I become the heir or not, you can ask the old man yourself. Now disappear immediately."
Huo Qingjuan was embarrassed, but at the same time she was worried about Qin Xuan. After all, Qin Xuan was the successor handpicked by Old Master Huo, and the possibility of her shaking his position was very small.
"Mom, let's go. It seems Qin Xuan doesn't welcome us. He only wants to be with his fiancée. Our Huo family is not important to him at all."
When Qin Xuan's cousin, Sheng Tiantian, saw that her mother had been wronged, she began to speak cryptically and insinuatingly.
Ye Zhizhou felt sorry for Qin Xuan and stood up angrily, "It's not that the Huo family isn't important to him, it's that you're not important to him. Please get this straight."
Sheng Tiantian's expression changed, and in an instant, tears filled her eyes, making her look very pitiful.
"Why are you being so fierce? What did I say wrong? You're just taking advantage of being my cousin's fiancée!"
Ye Zhizhou: ...
As expected, reasoning with a green tea b*tch won't work. Since that's the case, then...
"When did I ever yell at you, cousin? Auntie, we're meeting for the first time, let's not make things so awkward, okay?"
Huo Qingjuan and Sheng Tiantian thought that Ye Zhizhou had finally realized his true identity and started to act all high and mighty when he suddenly showed weakness.
"Did I want things to get this tense? It's clearly the two of you who are being rude and saying such hurtful things."
Ye Zhizhou's lips curled up; she knew Huo Qingjuan would say that.
She stood up, picked up her cup, and Huo Qingjuan thought Ye Zhizhou was going to offer her water. Just as she reached out her hand, Ye Zhizhou splashed warm water all over her face, making her hair stick together.
"You!" Neither Huo Qingjuan nor Sheng Tiantian realized that Ye Zhizhou would do such a thing. Sheng Tiantian reacted immediately and wiped the water off Huo Qingjuan's body.
Huo Qingjuan's anger was clearly visible; she began to realize that Ye Zhizhou was not easy to deal with.
"Didn't Auntie say we were being immature? We really were immature, that's how it is."
Ye Zhizhou looked at her with a leisurely air.
Qin Xuan smiled slightly; the person he liked never disappointed him.
Ye Zhizhou had no idea what Qin Xuan was thinking; he was only focused on helping Qin Xuan get rid of the two people.
Huo Qingjuan controlled her anger and awkwardly dragged Sheng Tiantian away from the Western restaurant.
Once outside the Western restaurant, Sheng Tiantian broke free from Huo Qingjuan's grasp.
"Mom, are you scared already? That woman wants to be the granddaughter-in-law of our Huo family, but Grandpa might not agree!"
Huo Qingjuan hesitated and said, "You mean, tell Grandpa about this? But Grandpa is abroad, not in the country. Even if we tell him, it won't do any good."
When Old Master Huo went abroad, he didn't take her, the daughter he had adopted from his cousin, with him. Not only did he not take her, he also only gave her a small sum of money.
Over the years, no matter how many times she asked the old man for money, he never gave her a penny more, making her life very difficult.
If her husband hadn't become a senior executive at his company, she wouldn't even be able to afford to go to this Western restaurant.
“Even though he’s abroad, if he’s not satisfied with that woman, and Qin Xuan insists, there will definitely be conflict between them, won’t there?”
Although Sheng Tiantian is young, she started giving Huo Qingjuan advice because she had watched a lot of TV dramas.
“What you said seems to make some sense. I’ll tell the old man right now and let him see what his good grandson’s wife has been doing!”
Since the old man isn't giving her any money anyway, she might as well add fuel to the fire and make things difficult for the Huo family.
Inside a Western restaurant.
After sitting down, Ye Zhizhou looked at Qin Xuan's face and found that he looked normal. Then he said regretfully, "What a pity, I wasted a glass of water."
Qin Xuan smiled and asked the waiter to refill her glass of water.
Before long, the steaks they ordered arrived. Qin Xuan cut them for Ye Zhizhou piece by piece before cutting his own.
"tasty!"
Perhaps because splashing water was so satisfying, Ye Zhizhou found the steak in his mouth increasingly delicious.
Qin Xuan looked at her, his eyes full of doting affection.
"Another one?"
Ye Zhizhou shook his head violently, "That won't do."
While he was eating, Qin Xuan's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a video call from Grandpa Huo.
If it were anyone else, he might have died; but Old Master Huo is an elder.
"Xuan, Grandpa hasn't seen you in a long time. You've lost weight."
Qin Xuan smiled faintly, "How has Grandpa been lately?"
Grandpa Huo chuckled, "You're still quite healthy. I heard from your aunt that you have a fiancée. Would you like your grandfather to meet her?"
