Chapter 581



581 the sincerity of the xie family’s apology

“your cousin?”

amy was stunned for a moment before she realized who she was talking about.”oh, you’re talking about miss jiang!”

“i’ve never met him before, but i’ve heard of him, so i guess we can be considered acquaintances,”

“So that’s how it is.” xuan siyun furrowed her brows slightly. after cui hao, there was another point in yanyun manor that was related to shi yan.

who didn’t know that jiang rui and shi yan were the best friends in haicheng? Amy had never seen Jiang Rui before, but she was taking the initiative to be friendly with her.

It was hard not to overthink.

but now wasn’t the time to think about that. she didn’t want to let go of this rare opportunity to get in touch with amy. Unfortunately, Amy had probably seen through her intentions, and before she could say anything, she had already excused herself, saying that there was an acquaintance over there who needed to say hello.

Xuan Siyun’s face twisted in anger.

……

The banquet venue was lively in its own way, and the quiet courtyard in the backyard of Yanyun Manor, which was specially for Shi Yan to rest in, was not inferior to it.

The courtyard was quiet, but that was before.

About half an hour ago, Tong Yan came to find Shi Yan and said that the master of the Xie family had come to visit.

as the head of the xie family, xie heng’s status in the capital was extraordinary. naturally, he had also received an invitation to the banquet at yanyun manor.

Xie Heng didn’t come much earlier and only arrived at two O ‘clock.

He didn’t go to the banquet immediately after he arrived at the manor. Instead, he sent someone to pass on a message that he wanted to meet the master of Yanyun Manor in private.

Shi Yan didn’t think that he had come for the master of Yanyun Manor. Xie Heng was different from most of the people who had come to the banquet today. He didn’t need to deliberately make friends with the master of Yanyun Manor.

he had said that he wanted to meet her in private, probably because he had guessed the relationship between her and yanyun manor. therefore, when tong yan came to pass on the message, shi yan agreed to meet him after hesitating for two seconds.

When Xie Heng arrived at the small courtyard, three people were sitting in the living room. They were Shi Yan, Jiang che, and su chen.

Shi Yan was sitting beside Jiang che, wearing a light-colored qipao dress. She had a simple hairstyle and was sitting upright with her hands crossed on her lap.

She was generous and elegant.

she looked very compatible with jiang che, who was wearing a suit.

Su chen sat on the single sofa and played games, as if he didn’t care about what was going to happen next.

“miss shi, fifth lord jiang.”

xie heng also greeted su chen, ” “miracle doctor su.”

He did not come alone. There were two people behind him, a man and a woman. Shi Yan wasn’t unfamiliar with these two people. They were the eldest young lady of the Xie family, Xie xingran, and the second young master of the Xie family, Xie Xingchen.

“thank you, patriarch.”

“Please have a seat,” Shi Yan nodded slightly.

Xie Heng was not surprised to see them here. It seemed that he had already guessed it. compared to xie heng, xie xingran and xie xingchen were not as calm.

The two of them had come with Xie Heng, so they naturally knew that Xie Heng was here to meet the host of today’s banquet. The person who led them directly led them here. In that case, it was very clear who the host of today’s banquet, who was also the owner of this Manor, was.

His bewildered gaze fell on Shi Yan.

their eyes were filled with obvious disbelief.

however, on such an occasion, with xie heng in front of them, it was not their turn to speak. the two could only suppress their shock and silently follow xie heng to his seat.

“previously, i said that i would give you an explanation for the trouble my xie family has caused you. i have already investigated the matter, and my younger cousin and younger cousin are mostly responsible for it. because i did not know when the two of you would leave the capital, i wanted to find a place to end this matter. i guessed that i could see the two of you here, so i directly brought them here.”

“I hope you can forgive me for being presumptuous.”

xie heng didn’t say anything stupid like he had already guessed that shi yan had a relationship with yanyun manor. He had come here directly and had indeed seen Shi Yan here, so there was no need to mention this.

he directly stated his intention.

After that, Xie Heng glanced at Xie Xingchen and Xie xingran.

his gaze wasn’t sharp, but it was enough to intimidate.

the two of them were shocked and stood up.

however, compared to xie xingran, xie xingchen looked a little reluctant.

“Miss Shi, fifth Lord Jiang, I was wrong in this matter. I apologize for the trouble I’ve caused you. I’m very sorry.” Xie xingran said and bowed formally. She was sincere in her apology.

he looked at xie xingchen again, and awkwardly said the three words “i’m sorry.”

in the past, xie xingchen would have secretly glared at shi yan to express his dissatisfaction. however, now that he knew about shi yan’s relationship with yanyun manor, he wasn’t completely brainless. he knew that even his elder brother, the head of the xie family, didn’t dare to look down on yanyun manor, so he didn’t dare to act rashly.

“to show the sincerity of the xie family’s apology, i’ll send xingran overseas to continue her studies and won’t allow her to return for three years. As for constellation, I’ll take back 30% of all his assets.”

it did not seem to be a heavy punishment, but it was an extremely heavy punishment for xie xingran and xie xingchen.

she was not allowed to return to the country after three years. xie xingran was not young anymore. if she returned after three years, it would be difficult for her to find a place in the upper-class circle of the capital city. not only that, but she would also miss the golden period of finding a good match.

originally, the second branch of the xie family had adopted her with the intention of marrying her when she grew up.

when she returned three years later, she might not even be able to decide on her own marriage.

of course, if she was capable, it would be a different story.

But no matter what, this was not a small punishment.

On the other hand, Xie Xingchen had 30% of his assets confiscated and he was severely punished. With his status in the Xie family second only to Xie Heng, 30% of his assets was not a small amount.

in a large family like the xie family, which was constantly in conflict, assets were the right to speak. with so many assets gone, xie xingchen’s future days would not be easy.

“This is the explanation I promised the two of you. I wonder if the two of you are satisfied?”

“I have received your sincerity, patriarch Xie. Let’s forget about this matter.” shi yan said with a smile.

his gaze swept over xie xingchen and xie xingran. ” “I hope that this will be the first and last time.”

she seemed to have a good attitude, but her words were full of warning.

miss Shi must be joking. Even if I didn’t know my own limits in the past, I do now. Xie xingran said with a smile.

she was not unconvinced at all.

she was no match for shi yan’s status as the eldest daughter of the shi family, not to mention that shi yan was the person chosen by the fifth master himself and was so capable.

xie xingchen also wanted to say something to express his attitude, but when he saw shi yan and jiang che together while xie heng was alone, and because they had to personally visit to apologize and lower their heads to others for no reason, he felt a little unhappy and didn’t say anything in the end.

he was a little regretful of what he had done.

If he had not added fuel to the fire when he found Xie xingran at the Jiang family, but had stopped her in time, big brother would not have been so submissive in front of others!

Yes, Xie Xingchen regretted it, not because he was punished, but because Xie Heng had to bow down and apologize to others.

Other people didn’t know what he was thinking. Xie Heng said,”Since the two of you have received my sincerity, there are some things we should make clear.”
