C64 (2/2)
Wang Hong asked this question towards Qi Xuan.
”My aunt and sister, the Jiangnan women, are the most quick-witted. Today, I have to thank my sister.” The gaze Qi Xuan shot at Jin Se was filled with gratitude and praise.
”Not at all …” Jin Se said humbly, she wanted nothing more than to appear out of the limelight, and leave the place quietly. However, she had attracted the attention of the people around, and knew that even if they were relatives, they shouldn't have appeared so many times.
”Little Sister Jin Se, don't be so modest, I really have to thank you for what happened today. If not for you, I would still be as confused as before.”
Wang Hong followed Qi Xuan and called him ”little sister”. Jin Se bashfully lowered his head, and then said, ”There's really no need to be polite, I was just spouting nonsense. Big Sister and our brother-in-law shouldn't take this to heart.”
With that said, Jin Se immediately chased after Qi Zhen again, and secretly slipped away.
Mrs. Xue only glared at Qi Zhen when he reached the Mountain River Xuan, with a face full of dissatisfaction.
As for Qi Zhen, she had an innocent expression as well. ”Why is Mother looking at me like that for?”
”You're still talking about it? Look at what you've done. How can you show your face like this? You're a girl.”
Mrs. Xue looked at Qi Zhen, thinking back to how Qi Zhen had acted extremely arrogantly just now, and how he was so furious now, ”You absolutely cannot do this to him in the future, as I, your father, have lost all my old face.”
Qi Zhen stuck out his tongue, ”It's a good thing that the matters of the Big Sister have been resolved, wouldn't this make everyone happy?”
Mrs. Xue also saw Jin Se rushing in and said to Jin Se, ”Shh, in the future, don't mess around with your Third Elder Sister.
Jin Se tilted his head and laughed, then said to the Mrs. Xue mischievously, ”Yes, from now on, Jin Se will listen to my aunt.”
”Mother, you're in the wrong. Little Sister Jin Se clearly helped me out greatly today, and just now, Brother-in-law even asked her to come down and express his gratitude. Mother, don't be too pedantic …”
Qi Zhen had an indifferent expression, but in her heart, she was currently feeling very refreshed. She had long since wished that she could properly criticize the Wang family's old lady.
”What do you mean?” Mrs. Xue looked like she hated Qi Zhen for not being able to win his hand. She looked at Qi Zhen and then at him, both casual and knowledgeable, as she shook her head.
Mrs. Xue suddenly thought of something and told the two young ladies, ”Oh right, today the wife of the Lin Family actually sent a message … This is really strange. ”
At this time, Qi Zhen had just picked up a bunch of chrysanthemums on the table, and was slowly peeling them off with his scallion like fingernails. Hearing his mother say that Madam Lin sounded familiar, but he did not expect it, so he asked, ”Which Madam Lin?”
”Who else can it be? It's the one from the Xue Residence. ”
After saying that, Qi Zhen stopped peeling the orange, and listened intently. The Xue Residence... This was truly a moving place.
”Mrs. Lin has never socialized with people like us, always being by herself. But this time, she actually sent me a message, and …” I still haven't had the time to properly apologize to him regarding the two of you. I really don't know what I should do now. ” The Mrs. Xue seemed to be troubled over this matter, but Qi Zhen was eager for his mother to come and join in the fun, so he got to know Mrs Lin more. Qi Zhen felt that there would be no harm in doing so.
”Go, mother can go take a look.”
Qi Zhen smiled merrily, and then accidentally leaked out his story. ”The Xue Residence is still quite beautiful, with an antique look, quite different from our house.”
When Mrs. Xue heard this, he also said that Qi Zhen had always been impulsive in her actions, and never cared about the consequences.
When Jin Se heard about it, he felt that there was something fishy about it. As for where it was wrong, he did not know either.
