When I returned to my room, I thought about what had just happened, and the more I thought about it, the stranger it seemed. A maid came in with clothes, so I asked her about it.
"Do you know the background of the person below?"
"I'm not sure, I only know that he is the's side branch's young master, and he has occasionally come back here, but he has always been disrespectful to his great-uncle, and this time, for some reason, his great-uncle actually allowed him to stay here. He only came here yesterday." The maid replied very seriously.
From her tone, it could be seen that she didn't like this Xiang Huai.
"What?! He actually moved in?!" My face was full of surprise. Didn't my uncle say that this was Xiang Family's old dwelling? He wouldn't casually let people live here.
"Yes, my great-uncle didn't agree when he first suggested it yesterday, but I don't know what he said to my great-uncle and he agreed afterwards, but he didn't live in this building, and the two buildings on the left and right side were used to entertain guests. My great-uncle just let him stay in the guest room." The maid had a face full of disgust. It seemed like he had a deep grudge against this guy.
"You don't seem to like him." I looked at the maid's flushed cheeks.
"Miss, you don't know how flowery he is. He has only been here for a day, and he has already taken liberties with all the maids in the mansion. Moreover, he has been rude and unrefined with his words. The maid spoke passionately.
"Alright, I know. You can leave now. I'll rest by myself for a while." After I figured out what was going on, I took the maid away.
Leaning on the sofa, it seemed that Xiang Huai wasn't just a playboy on the surface, after all, his behavior was so vile, yet his great-uncle could tolerate him staying here. His great-uncle had always placed a heavy emphasis on his reputation, so he definitely had his own plans for keeping this scum alive.
I fidgeted and scratched my head. Forget it, let's not think about it for now. In any case, he is an enemy and not a friend. I have to be on guard against him in the future.
I opened the clothes the maid had sent me a few days ago. I was about to put them on when I saw a letter inside. I looked at the cover and saw that it was unsigned.
I opened it, but there was only a row of small words inside. "Come to the garden quickly, cousin." I looked at the note and realized it was for Huai.
Thinking back to the maid's previous expression when she mentioned Xiang Huai, it seems like she didn't know that something was stuffed into Huai Huai's clothes, my heart tenses up. Xiang Huai is getting more and more unfathomable, and is even a little dangerous, it can be seen that he still has some ability.
Besides, I am also very curious about what this guy is trying to sell me. After all, he promised Ye Ling that he would take care of me, and he also covet Xiang Family's property, so I don't believe that he will change his mind. He is trying so hard to curry favor with me, and getting close to me, is just simply looking for an opportunity.
It seems like this fellow is trying to test me. Just as I was about to turn around, someone suddenly flew out from behind and tightly hugged me. Luckily, I had enough strength and it was easy for me to open my eyes, and then I saw that annoying face of Huai.
"Cousin, why are you so tired? You're hurting me." Huai Huai held onto his chest with an injured expression.
I rolled my eyes. "Why did you invite me here?"
"I'm not doing anything. I just feel like I'm fated to be with my cousin and I want to interact a bit more with her. Say, just in case there's some sort of relationship between us." He looked at me with a smile, and his eyes were filled with desire, as if he was looking at his own prey.
I really didn't like the look in her eyes. "Cousin really knows how to joke around. Don't forget, we all believe in each other, and we are even cousins."
"So what? We are all from Xiang Family, but we have already left behind the same blood. Furthermore, men and women are not married yet, it's normal for them to love each other deeply over a long period of time." he said to Huai.
Only he can say such shameless words, and he's even a perfect couple. He really thinks he's a hungry and handsome guy, "I'm already engaged to be married, how can I be unmarried?"
"You and Bai Yu are only engaged, and not really married. What's more, isn't it possible to get a divorce in this era of marriage?" Huai Huai, on the other hand, didn't mind my rejection at all.
I've discovered that it's fine if it's a scum like Xiang Huai, but the three views aren't correct yet. I feel deep sorrow for the Xiang Family, why did such a shameless grandson come out of nowhere?
"If you don't have anything else, I still have things to do. I'll be leaving first." I felt like talking to Huai here was a waste of time, so I simply turned around and was about to leave.
In the end, I held my hand towards Huai, and I felt like I was like a volcano that could erupt at any time. I couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to slap him, but a hand was a step ahead of me.
I looked at the person who ended up with me. It was the elusive Xiang Jiang. I couldn't help but feel grateful in my heart. Although I can solve this myself, I am still very touched that there is someone who can save me.
Xiang Jiang still had an indifferent expression, but there was a bit more anger and ruthlessness in his eyes as he coldly said to Huai Huai, "Scram." Xiang Huai also had an unresigned expression on his face, but he was helpless since he couldn't beat Xiang Jiang, he could only glare at Xiang Jiang a few times in anger. Then, he stomped his feet and left.
"Thank you, you helped me again." I sincerely said to Jiang, although he still has a lot of puzzle unsolved, but I can be sure that he at least won't harm me, that's enough.
"Yes." Xiangjiang hummed a response from his nose. Knowing his temper, I also smiled.
"I really wonder why uncle left him here." I couldn't help but complain.
Xiangjiang looked thoughtfully in the direction Huai left, then looked at me. "He has what my great-uncle wants."
"What is it?" I asked him.
Xiang Jiang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. That's right, his great-uncle was an old cunning fox, how could he let others know?
"Xiangjiang, are you very familiar with my great-uncle? What kind of person is he?" I bent my head as I looked at Xiangjiang.
"Great-uncle won't harm you. Great-uncle is my benefactor." When Xiang Jiang heard me mention granduncles, a rare anxious expression appeared on his face.
