Chapter 30

“A friend…” Xie Yiye smiled evilly, his gaze turning colder. “I don’t treat you as a friend.”

“Who wants to be friends with the daughter of a kidnapper?”

Su Qianqian covered her mouth, and her eyes were terrifyingly red.

She knew Xie Yiye’s words were harsh and true.

Although Xie Zigui was opening the gift in her hands, her ears were open the whole time, so she could hear the conversation outside clearly.

Third Brother was so protective of Wen Yan.

Could it be that he really liked this woman?

She knew the collaboration between the Xie family and the Su family was ruined by her third brother. She did not expect her third brother to go through so much trouble just to avenge Wen Yan.

The moment she saw Wen Yan, she knew things would go south.

She had once secretly looked at the photos of her aunt that her third brother collected. Wen Yan looked too similar to her aunt. When she looked carefully, Wen Yan’s eyes and brows also looked a little similar to her father’s.

Maybe Wen Yan was really Xie Xianxian.

Ever since she was adopted by the Xie family, she had been worried about Xie Xianxian’s return every day until she was in her twenties. She thought Xie Xianxian would never come back in her life, but she didn’t expect that she would come back.

If Wen Yan was Xie Xianxian, she would definitely be taken back. If she wasn’t, then Third Brother would marry her.

She couldn’t accept that she becomes her sister or sister-in-law.

She didn’t want Wen Yan to become Xie Xianxian, and Su Qianqian probably didn’t want that either.

Looking at the expensive gift in her hand that was obviously not for her, she sneered.

Although she didn’t like Su Qianqian, she had no choice now.

Putting down the gift, she walked to Xie Yiye’s side and said softly, “Third Brother, you don’t treat her as a friend, but I still treat Qianqian as a friend. Look at how many gifts she brought to see me today. For my sake, Third Brother, please forgive her.”

She glanced at Wen Yan and said meaningfully, “We all grew up together. Don’t hurt the relationship between the two families because of some small things and unimportant people.”

She didn’t know what happened between her third brother and Su Qianqian, but her third brother had always doted on her. As long as she spoke, there would be room for negotiation.

Wen Yan looked at Xie Zigui. She didn’t know why, but she felt Xie Zigui had an inexplicable hostility toward her. Her words seemed to have nothing to do with her, but they seemed to be directed at her.

Wen Yan smiled playfully.

When did she offend this young lady?

Seeing Xie Zigui speak up for her, Su Qianqian was extremely touched.

Although the gifts were not delivered to the right person, Xie Zigui was willing to plead for her, which meant that these things were not wasted.

After Xie Zigui said that, Xie Yiye pursed his lips and no longer tried to provoke Su Qianqian.

Xie Zigui knew when to stop. She held Su Qianqian’s hand and said, “I just returned to the country and have a lot to tell you. Sleep with me tonight.”

“Alright.”

Su Qianqian couldn’t ask for more. She couldn’t make a move on Xie Yiye, but Xie Zigui might be a new breakthrough point.

As he watched the two of them enter hand in hand, Xie Yiye realized Wen Yan had already walked far away.

As the night darkened, she turned her back to him and walked alone.

Xie Yiye quickly caught up to her.

“Don’t worry, Su Qianqian can’t change anything. Even if she tries to please Zigui, it’s useless.”

Wen Yan nodded and looked around to see if there was a small electric scooter like last time.

Seeing Xie Yiye standing helplessly at the side, Wen Yan thought for a moment and felt there were some things she had to clarify with him.

“Xie Yiye, I’m very grateful for your kindness to me, including today. Thank you for saving me, and thank you for avenging me.”

“But I hope our relationship ends here.”

Today, Xie Zigui’s way of addressing her and his hostility made her realize there were some things she had to make clear.

She also reflected on herself. Even if she wanted revenge, she shouldn’t have used her friends.

This was the first and last time.

How could Xie Yiye not know what she meant? He wasn’t annoyed at all. Instead, he patiently explained, “I don’t mean anything else. Actually, I only treat you as my sister.”

Wen Yan was speechless.

Xie Yiye scratched his head anxiously.

How was he going to explain that he really only treated her as his sister?

Wen Yan was silent for a while and took a few steps back, “No matter what you think of me, if we get too close, it will attract rumors. You said that your father wanted to see me, and he just saw me.”

Seeing Wen Yan leave without looking back, Xie Yiye wanted to chase after her, but he hesitated for a moment before stopping.

Forget it, he would know the result tomorrow.

Endure it a little longer.

In the Xie Family Manor, Xie Zigui’s room was half a floor tall.

Looking at this luxurious room, Su Qianqian’s eyes turned red with jealousy.

Rich people were also divided into classes. Even if her family’s conditions were not bad, they would never be as generous as the Xie family to get such a big room for their daughter.

With no one else around, Xie Zigui no longer hid her arrogant personality. She handed her high heels to the servant, and soon, other people came to serve her.

“Have a seat.” Xie Zigui casually pointed at the sofa.

After Su Qianqian sat down, a servant served her nutritional supplements, including bird’s nest and fish jelly.

Seeing Xie Zigui leisurely eating her supper, Su Qianqian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, unable to sit still.

Xie Zigui glanced at her, “If you have something to say, just say it.”

“Do you have a way to make my family continue working with your family?” Su Qianqian asked directly.

“I have no choice.” Xie Zigui put down the bird’s nest in his hands. “Do you know why the Xie family likes me? Because I only care about what I should care about.”

“You know my father’s personality. If I return empty-handed this time, I’ll definitely be beaten to death by him.”

“Can’t you just take the gift away?” Xie Zigui didn’t even lift her eyes as she casually threw out this sentence.

Su Qianqian’s face turned black and white from anger.

She had already opened those gifts, so what use was there for her to take them back?

“Xie Zigui, if you only wanted to taunt me by keeping me here, then you’ve achieved your goal.” Su Qianqian immediately stood up and turned to leave, but was stopped by Xie Zigui.

“I haven’t finished yet. What are you in a hurry for?” Xie Zigui touched the manicure that he had just done. “I really can’t do anything about the collaboration, but I have other ways to help you.”

Su Qianqian turned around excitedly.”

“Before that, you can tell me about Wen Yan. I believe no one knows her better than you.”

Hearing her mention Wen Yan, Su Qianqian was stunned for a moment.

He then looked at Xie Zigui’s cold face and asked in a gossipy tone, “Why are you suddenly asking about her?”

“Why, you don’t like her being your sister-in-law?”

Seeing her gloating gaze, Xie Zigui sneered, “What about you? Do you want her to be my sister-in-law or Xie Xianxian?”

“What did you say?”

Xie Xianxian?

Wen Yan was Xie Xianxian!

Su Qianqian’s head was suddenly hit hard, making a buzzing sound.

Even the purpose of her visit today had been thrown to the back of her mind.

“Xie Zigui, this news of yours… Is it reliable?”
