After the dinner, Mrs. Zhou personally escorted Liu Qinghuan and Ye Heng out the door.
"When you have nothing to do in the future, come and visit me more often." Mrs. Zhou took Liu Qinghuan's arm and patted her hand.
Liu Qinghuan responded with a smile and said goodbye to Ye Heng.
In the Xie family carriage.
Xie Xiaomei waited for the carriage to start moving and asked impatiently, "Second brother, who was the young man sitting next to you at the banquet? Why does he look so unfamiliar?"
Xie Xiaonan raised his eyebrows and looked at his sister. Just now, he was about to ride in the same carriage with his father, but his third sister insisted on dragging him into her carriage just to inquire about a young man.
"What's going on? Why are you asking about him?" Xie Xiaonan knew his third sister's personality and looked at Xie Xiaoyue with a questioning look.
Xie Xiaoyue was standing aside, and she also wanted to hear about the origins of this young man.
"Third sister asked you to say it, so just say it," Xie Xiaoyue looked at Xie Xiaonan deliberately in a reproachful manner, and glanced at Xie Xiaomei with a hint of meaning. When Xie Xiaonan saw her sister's expression, she knew that what he thought in his heart was true, that her sister had fallen in love with Ye Heng.
He just said, "That's the cousin of Mr. Liu, the boss of Huanxi Restaurant. He should be engaged. Xiaomei, don't do anything rash."
When Xie Xiaomei heard this, her eyes almost popped out of her head and she clenched the handkerchief tightly in her fist: "Huanxi Restaurant, it's that Liu Qinghuan again."
Xie Xiaoyue's heart skipped a beat, but she concealed it well.
"Again?" Xie Xiaonan leaned against the wall of the carriage and turned the jade ring on his thumb.
"Because of her today, we were both scolded by Madam Zhou!" Xie Xiaomei snorted and turned away.
Xie Xiaonan glanced at Xie Xiaoyue: "Sister, what's going on?"
"Xiaomei is wrong in this matter. You know she's a bit of a mouthy person." Xie Xiaoyue held Xie Xiaomei's hand and patted it gently, "Go back and admit your mistake to mother first. Don't be so rude. Madam Zhou will definitely tell mother, and then we won't be able to save you."
Xie Xiaomei still pouted: "That's nothing. Second brother, is the engagement you mentioned true?"
"I'm just guessing. The Ye family lives in the capital, and from the looks of it, they hold official positions. If they're willing to come to us for such a poor and powerless cousin, who would believe them if they say they have no relationship?"
Xie Xiaonan's mouth corners turned down, with a hint of impatience on his face.
"Then...it's also possible that Liu Qinghuan is playing the victim and deliberately keeping the Ye family's young master here!"
Xie Xiaonan's face twitched.
His sister was very foolish. Even if the two of them were not engaged in a marriage agreed upon by their families, it was probably because Ye Heng eloped because he was attached to Liu Qinghuan. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that, but only his foolish sister could still deceive herself like this.
Xie Xiaoyue rolled his eyes secretly and came up with an idea.
"Perhaps Master Ye takes good care of his cousin because of his family's instructions. It doesn't necessarily have to be a love story between a man and a woman, don't you think, sister?" Xie Xiaoyue's comforting words gave Xie Xiaomei hope.
"Yes, yes, elder sister is right. That's right," Xie Xiaomei finally smiled. "I'll ask father to propose marriage tomorrow!"
Xie Xiaonan looked at her elder sister and then at her younger sister in shock.
What happened tonight.
The eldest sister actually played tricks with her younger sister.
This sister... is going too far.
"Xie Xiaomei, I advise you to be honest. Let's end this matter today. Otherwise, if father finds out, I guarantee he will skin you alive!"
Xie Xiaonan pretended to be fierce and pointed at Xie Xiaomei's nose to teach her a lesson.
