Wangyue said, "I met him when I was a child, but I haven’t seen him for many years. He looks different from before, so I didn’t recognize him. Young Master Yichen is different, he comes every year, and I see him every year, so of course I recognize him."
"Are they three siblings?"
"Not real siblings, they are cousins. The other two should be Young Master Yichen’s younger cousin brother and sister. However, their parents passed away early, so they were fostered with the eldest daughter and her husband. Young Master Yichen is the cousin of our Young Master, so Yichen’s mother is our Xie Family’s eldest daughter who got married. Miss Ye, you should know that our old sir has three sons and two daughters! So Young Master Yichen is born of the eldest daughter, who married into the Qiao family in Han City."
"I see, no wonder you don’t recognize them. However, those two are not good people, stay away from them in the future," Ye Ningwan reminded.
He sighed, "Young Master Yichen is such a polite person, how can he have such cousins, it’s truly speechless."
"Even the nine sons of the dragon are different, let alone not being real siblings, it’s quite normal."
"Today, Young Master Yichen will definitely visit home, I wonder if he will bring those two along, and if they will complain." Wangyue worriedly said.
Ye Ningwan said, "Don’t worry, even if they complain, with me here, I won’t let you suffer."
Unexpectedly, Wangyue’s worry came true.
Qiao Yichen brought the siblings to the Xie Family to see Old Sir Xie.
Qiao Yichi and Qiao Yiyuan told him about what happened today.
"Grandpa, the girl from your family is too much, she almost kicked my brother’s arm off. And she twisted my wrist, it hurts so much."
"Something like that happened?" Old Sir Xie was surprised.
Qiao Yichen frowned and muttered to them, "Don’t talk nonsense."
"Big brother, how are we talking nonsense, we were bullied by Grandpa’s family’s girl, and we can’t say it? Grandpa, you must stand up for us. If Aunt finds out we were bullied, she’ll surely be very upset."
"So, what do you want to do?"
Xie Mingyu walked in with others, his handsome face tense, looking frosty.
When Qiao Yiyuan saw Xie Mingyu, her face blushed all of a sudden.
She had seen him once when she was a child.
Back then, Xie Mingyu looked like a child by the Bodhisattva Guanyin’s side, unbelievably beautiful.
Because of his poor health, he rarely sees people.
Unexpectedly, after years, he has grown up to be so handsome, even more dazzling than a celebrity.
"Brother Mingyu, do you still recognize me? I’m Yanyan."
Qiao Yiyuan changed from being arrogant just a moment ago to speaking shyly to him.
Xie Mingyu glanced at her coldly, "Don’t recognize."
Qiao Yiyuan, awkwardly biting her lip, flushed red.
Qiao Yichen remembered their purpose for coming and immediately stepped forward with a smile, "Mingyu, glad to see you’re in good health, cousin is very happy. This is Yanyan, you played together when you were kids, don’t you remember?"
"Cousin, I heard you want to trouble my people?" Xie Mingyu straightforwardly asked.
Qiao Yichen awkwardly said, "You misunderstood, they just had a little conflict, it’s no big deal."
"Is that so? It better be a misunderstanding. No one is allowed to speak ill of my people." Xie Mingyu said dominantly.
Qiao Yichi was so angry he clenched his fists.
He already thought he was domineering, but hadn’t expected Xie Mingyu to be even more so.
But considering that the Xie Family treated him as a treasure, he dared not do anything.
So he could only say, "My arm hurts, could you ask that Divine Doctor Bai Zhi in your family to treat me?"
Xie Mingyu sneered, looking at him contemptuously, "Do you deserve it?"
After saying that, he left with his people.
"Grandpa, you saw that." Qiao Yichi asked angrily.
Old Sir Xie hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I saw it. But, Mingyu’s temper has always been bad, don’t mind him, and don’t get upset with him. After all, with his poor health, I don’t dare scold him, for fear he’ll get upset."
Since Old Sir Xie said so, what else could Qiao Yichi say?
No matter what, he couldn’t override Old Sir Xie.
"Seeing that Mingyu is okay, I am relieved." Qiao Yichen said.
Old Sir Xie laughed, "Yes, our Yu’er’s health matters the most. Tomorrow is the banquet, you better prepare well, and don’t disappoint Yu’er."
After saying that, he looked at Qiao Yiyuan.
The Qiao family’s purpose in sending Qiao Yiyuan was simple.
Mrs. Qiao didn’t come over due to some matters.
But sending Qiao Yiyuan was to let her interact with Xie Mingyu.
To strengthen the ties between the Qiao and Xie families.
Qiao Yiyuan was raised by Mrs. Qiao, marrying her to her own nephew meant they knew each other well on both sides. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ noᴠelfire.net
Actually, Old Sir Xie also hoped that Xie Mingyu would fancy Qiao Yiyuan.
After all, being raised by his daughter means he trusted her.
Qiao Yiyuan nodded knowingly.
After leaving, she immediately told Qiao Yichi, "Second brother, don’t forget my purpose here. Don’t mess up and affect my impression in Xie Mingyu’s mind."
"Hmph, I don’t think he has any affection for you." Qiao Yichi snorted coldly.
However, although his words were harsh, he was closer to the truth.
Qiao Yiyuan was angry, "Second brother, you’re too much, how could it be, I don’t believe he doesn’t like me."
"You two stop arguing, behave yourselves while staying at the Xie Family these days. Especially you, Chi, settle down and don’t cause trouble for me."
"Got it, big brother, I won’t cause trouble."
Qiao Yichi, still afraid of Qiao Yichen, had to agree reluctantly.
Having taught the Qiao siblings a lesson, Xie Mingyu went to Ye Ningwan to boast about it.
"Rest assured, whether it’s you or Wangyue, I won’t let you be bullied by outsiders."
Ye Ningwan said, "Wangyue is your person, you not letting her be bullied is what you should do, right? As for me, I’m your benefactor. If I’m bullied and you don’t stand up, that would be really frustrating."
"Can’t you just say thank you to me?" Xie Mingyu was angry.
Ye Ningwan smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you Young Master Xie"
Xie Mingyu got even angrier.
Even though it was he who asked her to say thank you, hearing it from her made him feel even more upset.
"Ye Ningwan, just wait. One day you’ll know who’s the one who’s truly good to you."
Xie Mingyu, throwing this harsh remark, left in a huff.
Ye Ningwan shook her head, frowning at her phone.
Zhan Hanjue hadn’t contacted her for a few days either.
Before, they could exchange WeChat messages and keep in touch every day.
But these days, he didn’t reply to her messages.
When she called him, he didn’t answer either.
Did something happen to him?
Or, was Old Mrs. Zhan monitoring him again?
Forget it, tomorrow is the banquet.
He will come then, she’ll ask him when he gets here.
