164 The Importance of having an Intelligent and Virtuous Wife
Xie Lan’s eyes were glued on Zheng Zhixing. She stared at him and felt attracted to his body language. As she watched him, she started to blush.
Zheng Zhixing didn’t even notice her. Everyone sat down and Xie Lan picked up food and put it into his bowl. Only then, did he look at her.
The young woman beside him stared at him hotly. Her naked gaze made her intentions clear.
Zheng Zhixing knew Xie Lan and knew she was Xie Yunjin’s sister.
However, wasn’t she being far too obvious? Not only did she have the guts to bluntly stare, but she also went ahead and put food in his bowl.
Zheng Zhixing glanced at Xie Lan and then at his bowl.
Xie Lan didn’t know he minded her action. Now that he had lowered his head to look at the food, she quickly used her chopsticks to pick up more food for him.
“Young master Zheng, try this. It’s tasty.”
She then got some for herself and ate it. It really was tasty. Her sister-in-law was not likable but her food was delicious.
Xie Lan’s action made everyone at the table uncomfortable. To give Zheng Zhixing food and then eat the food right after felt a little awkward.
Zheng Zhixing didn’t know what to do and froze.
Xie Yunjin’s face was extremely gloomy as he gaped at Xie Lan. If it weren’t for the guests, he would’ve asked her to get the f*ck out of here. How dare she embarrass him like this?
Lu Jiao got up and handed her bowl of untouched rice to Zheng Zhixing. She took his bowl.
“Young master Zheng, please eat.”
Lu Jiao didn’t plan on wiping Xie Lan’s butt for her. However, there were so many guests and she had to step in.
Sadly, Xie Lan had no self-awareness. When she saw Lu Jiao take over Zheng Zhixing’s food, she grew unhappy and lifted her head, “Sister-in-law, why did you take away young master Zheng’s food?”
Lu Jiao wanted to slap her. However, because of what she said, she couldn’t eat her food now.
It now felt weird for her to eat young master Zheng’s food.
Lu Jiao’s tone was hostile, “Shut up and eat your food.”
Zheng Zhixing and the others looked at Xie Lan strangely. Was she really Xie Yunjin’s sister? Why was she so stupid? Her sister-in-law was helping her out and she had no idea.
Lu Jiao once again invited everyone to eat. Then, she checked in on her children, “The boys are running out of food. I’ll give them a bit more.”
She took her bowl and very naturally went to the four little ones and gave what was in the bowl to the boys.
Xie Yunjin’s face calmed down as gentle soft light shot out of his eyes. Now, he realized the importance of having an intelligent and virtuous wife. A stupid woman like Xie Lan would’ve made him want to kill.
Xie Yunjin said to Lu Jiao, “You should eat as well.”
“Okay.”
Lu Jiao went to get fresh rice from the kitchen.
Who knew that Xie Lan would soon cause trouble again? She once again used her chopstick to try and get food for Zheng Zhixing.
Luckily, Lu Jiao came back in time and stopped Xie Lan. With a warning look on her face, she said, “young master Zheng knows what he wants. There’s no need for you to help him.”
Zheng Zhixing nodded quickly. He was truly afraid of this woman.
If he came here alone, he wouldn’t have spared Xie Lan’s feelings. However, since she was Xie Yunjin’s sister and he was a guest, he had to be considerate. Sadly, this meal truly was uncomfortable.
Xie Lan remained clueless and was angered by Lu Jiao.
She decided to focus on Zheng Zhixing and shyly stared at him, “Young master Zheng, are you classmates with my brother?”
Zheng Zhixing wanted to ignore her but that would be too rude, “Yes, we are very close.”
“How come you never came over to hang out before?”
Zheng Zhixing smiled, “We need to focus on studying. We rarely have any free time.”
Xie Lan wanted to talk more but Lu Jiao beat her to it, “Young master Zheng, the next time you come visit, you should bring your wife. You are close with Yunjin, therefore, I should get to know her.”
Lu Jiao’s words made everyone admire her intelligence and quickness.
Zheng Zhixing naturally got the hint and smiled, “Okay, I will bring my wife next time. You two can get to know each other.”
Zheng Zhixing’s words made Xie Lan feel thunderstruck.
She acted like someone had died as she silently cried, “Young master Zheng, you… you have a wife?”
Her expression was truly unappetizing. He gave up and sought help from the others, “I’m done eating. We should head back to school and make sure Classmate Han has enough time to study.”
Classmate Han instantly answered, “Alright.”
Classmate Han was unspeakably annoyed. He barely ate. Xie Yunjin’s sister was truly a troublemaker. No, a moron.
Du Yi and Li Wenbin naturally also failed to eat in peace. In the end, everyone got up and bid farewell to Xie Yunjin.
“Yunjin, we will see each other soon at school. Today, we shall head back first. Classmate Han wants to take the exam in September and we don’t want to drag him down.”
“Yeah, and next year, we’ll be doing the district exam. We need to work hard.”
“Yunjin, make sure your legs heal soon. We’ll wait for you at school.”
Everyone then bid their farewells. Xie Yunjin said bye to everyone and his gaze turned cold as soon as they left.
“Xie Lan, have you never met a man before? Every man you see you stick yourself onto them.”
Xie Lan started to cry instantly.
“I am 17 and I have no prospects. As my brother, you never planned anything for me so I have to fend for myself.”
Xie Yunjin refused to talk to her. She couldn’t understand the logic.
Before, she had talked to his mother and Xie Lan about this. Since Xie Lan never studied, she didn’t have great looks nor a super attractive personality, she was most suited to marry an average countryside farmer. However, Xie Lan thought of herself as a beauty and felt that she deserved to marry into town and enjoy wealth. She was picky with everyone who showed interest and in the end, ended up alone.
Who was to blame but her own pride?
Xie Yunjin did not expect her to be tempted by his classmates. All his classmates were older and were all married with children. She sure dared to dream.
“Get the hell out of my home. Do not ever step foot inside again.”
Xie Yunjin forcibly told Xie Lan to get out.
