Chapter 159: Chapter 0159: When the Weasel Greets the Chicken for the New Year
Ye Xunhuan hadn’t taken Qiu Ruoxi directly back to the villa. Qiu Shuihan was probably still furious, and God knew what would happen if he brought Qiu Ruoxi back, so Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi went out instead.
"Do you feel wronged marrying me?" Qiu Ruoxi suddenly asked as they walked on the road.
Startled by Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Ye Xunhuan was taken aback!
"Your aunt has told me everything!" Qiu Ruoxi took a deep breath, somewhat self-mockingly said, "All this time, I’ve always thought that by marrying me, you were climbing the social ladder!"
"Only now do I realize that I was the one who flew onto the branch and became a phoenix."
The Northern Qin Family!
Anyone with a bit of status knew what that represented!
It represented — power!
It was a genuine, well-rooted grand family that many people would fight tooth and nail to get into, yet she had become the Qin family’s niece-in-law.
Moreover, according to Qin Rumeng, Ye Xunhuan was not just the Qin family’s nephew but could also possibly be the future head of the Qin family.
That is to say, if she could make her marriage with Ye Xunhuan last, she might very well become an existence many would look up to.
This was undeniably ironic; the man she considered a scoundrel had a background that made everyone apprehensive.
No wonder he was so calm after being caught; the Qin family, the Qin family was enough to turn misfortune into blessing.
After hearing what Qiu Ruoxi said, Ye Xunhuan realized, Qin Rumeng had told Qiu Ruoxi about his situation, then he just smiled lightly, "It’s good that you’re aware of this. I am the epitome of the ’red second generation’ and the ’rich second generation’!"
"With just one word from me, who knows how many women would want to sneak into my bed!"
"Why didn’t you tell me?"
"Tell you what?"
"Your identity!"
"Did you ask?"
Qiu Ruoxi fell silent, yes, had she asked?
All this time, she had been nitpicking Ye Xunhuan, never seeing him in a good light, why would she have asked about these things?
"I’m asking you now!"
"Hasn’t your aunt already told you?" Ye Xunhuan said calmly, "I am the Qin family’s nephew."
"You clearly know that’s not what I was asking about!"
"My parents?" Ye Xuanhuan’s expression slightly darkened, "My mother is Qin Fenghuang!"
Qin Fenghuang?
Qiu Ruoxi was stunned. Her mother-in-law was the once celebrated number one beauty of the capital, Qin Fenghuang?
"What else?"
"What else?"
"Your father?"
Ye Xunhuan’s expression changed slightly, he then took a deep breath and said, "Hungry, right? Let’s go grab something to eat!"
Saying this, Ye Xinhuan took out a cigarette, lit it for himself, and took a deep drag.
Qiu Ruoxi wanted to ask more, but seeing Ye Xunhuan’s somewhat unsightly expression, she swallowed the words at the tip of her tongue, yet her heart was filled with curiosity.
Why did his expression turn so ugly at the mention of his father?
Meanwhile, in the Fragrance Water Pavilion villa, Qin Rumeng sat quietly in the living room while Qiu Shuihan looked at her with a face full of regret: "Rumeng, don’t take Qiu Ruoxi’s words too seriously..."
"It’s nothing!" Qin Rumeng waved her hand and said, "I know what you’re worrying about, don’t worry, as long as those two can come together, I will honor my sister’s dying wish and definitely not tear them apart!"
Upon hearing Qin Rumeng’s words, Qiu Shuihan let out a long sigh of relief.
He very well understood that Qin Rumeng did not think highly of Qiu Ruoxi, but he also knew that because of Qin Fenghuang’s dying wish, she had no choice but to honor it.
"However, whether she’s worthy to pay respects at my sister’s grave, that’s for her own efforts to decide," Qin Rumeng said solemnly. "I will not offer her any help."
"I know," Qiu Shuihan said seriously, "I believe Ruoxi will definitely be able to stand before Fenghuang’s grave and pay her respects!"
"Let’s hope so."
After speaking, Qin Rumeng rose to her feet: "Alright, I need to go now!"
"Won’t you stay for dinner?"
"No," Qin Rumeng shook her head. "I have other places to be, take good care of Ye Xunhuan for me, I don’t want him to suffer even the slightest harm. Otherwise, none of you will get away with it!"
With these words, Qin Rumeng turned and left stylishly.
Looking at Qin Rumeng’s retreating figure, Qiu Shuihan’s face was filled with bitterness.
"Shuihan, she still holds a great prejudice against us," Xiahou Yutong sighed softly.
"She’s not wrong; Ruoxi and Xunhuan are worlds apart. Liu Qingcheng is the most suitable person in her heart," Qiu Shuihan said helplessly, "as well as the most compatible with Xunhuan!"
As he spoke, Qiu Shuihan’s face was overwhelmed with bitterness.
......
Life continued and did not stop because of the unpleasant incident between Qin Rumeng and Qiu Ruoxi.
But Qin Rumeng’s visit had piqued Qiu Ruoxi’s curiosity about Ye Xunhuan.
How could the potential heir to the northern Qin family be so carefree?
Could it be that behind his carefree exterior, he hid ambitions and aspirations unknown to the world?
But Ye Xunhuan didn’t dwell on it, going about his routine as usual, doing what he did and teasing Tang Yurou as he always did.
Just when Ye Xunhuan and Tang Yurou were joking around, Ye Xunhuan’s cellphone suddenly rang.
Upon seeing the caller ID, Ye Xunhuan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly; there weren’t many who knew his number, and even fewer with whom he had good relations. This number, however, was very unfamiliar to Ye Xunhuan.
But Ye Xunhuan still answered the call.
No sooner had he answered than a magnetic voice came through the receiver: "Xunhuan, I hope I’m not disturbing you by calling suddenly?"
"Mu Tiange?" Ye Xunhuan said, frowning.
"I really didn’t expect that the Overlord still remembered my voice," Mu Tiange said excitedly. "Xunhuan, I mentioned to some of our classmates recently that you were in Jiangzhong City."
"Everyone was delighted and said it’s been a long time since we all met. They asked me to contact you to see if you have time tonight to get together. If you’re free, they would like to come over!"
Ye Xunhuan pondered for a moment: "Okay!"
"Eight o’clock tonight at Lan Mansion," Mu Tiange said cheerfully. "Make sure you come."
"Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be there."
"Then I’ll tell the others."
After these exchanges, Ye Xunhuan didn’t say much more and hung up the call.
After hanging up, a steely look flashed across Ye Xunhuan’s face; Mu Tiange’s call was typical of a weasel paying a New Year visit to a chicken–nothing good could come of it.
