The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside

Hearing this, Qin Zizhou, thinking of helping Shen Xuening attract business, became a little more patient: "Pulle your luggage and come with me."

Zhai Anqi was delighted: "Okay."

Qin Zizhou took Zhai Anqi to Xi Danping's house: "Old Xi."

Xi Danping was resting inside the house; it was the only house in the entire village with an empty spot. Hearing Qin Zizhou's voice, he came out of the house and was somewhat surprised to see Qin Zizhou: "Why are you here?"

Qin Zizhou said in a businesslike manner, "She is my friend Zhai Anqi, and she would like to rent your room."

“Your friend said you’re renting, so just move in. Come with me.” With that, Xi Danping led the two into the house and then to a guest room.

His house has three rooms in total. He sleeps in one and there are two guest rooms. Normally, only people related to Shen Xuening are allowed to stay there, but Qin Zizhou is not an outsider, so he is willing to stay there.

Xi Danping opened the door and asked Qin Zizhou, "Is this room alright?"

Qin Zizhou looked at Zhai Anqi.

Zhai Anqi immediately replied, "Yes, yes, thank you."

Xi Danping said politely, "It's alright, I'll get you the three-piece bedding set. You can make the bed yourself. No one usually sleeps here."

“Okay.” Zhai Anqi has spent 99% of her life living abroad, so she has no problem taking care of herself.

Xi Danping nodded and went out with Qin Zizhou.

Seeing Qin Zizhou about to leave, Zhai Anqi immediately called out to him, "Zizhou, where are you going?"

"I have something to do, I'll be going now," Qin Zizhou said as he walked out.

Zhai Anqi stepped forward and stopped Qin Zizhou, her eyes filled with a hint of expectation: "I'm not familiar with this area, could you show me around?"

"I'll find you a guide." After saying that, Qin Zizhou called Shen Xuening without further ado and asked her to introduce a female tour guide.

Shen Xuening sent Shen Yingying over.

Shen Yingying wanted to earn extra money, and the most flexible and lucrative part-time job was as a tour guide, which paid at least 20 yuan per hour. She was very happy to do it, as it would also be a good opportunity to improve her social skills.

"Brother Zhou!" Shen Yingying rushed over quickly. "Where is he?"

Qin Zizhou pointed inside the house: "Inside the house."

Shen Yingying walked into the house with a smile: "Hello, my name is Shen Yingying. I will be your guide from now on. You can ask me anything you want to know."

Zhai Anqi wanted Qin Zizhou to keep her company, but it was impossible for him to do so in his current state. She could only accept Shen Yingying, and she didn't dare to show any impatience, otherwise she was afraid that Qin Zizhou would dislike her: "Hello, my name is Zhai Anqi, it's nice to meet you."

"You call me Yingying, and I'll call you Sister Anqi, is that okay?" Shen Yingying displayed a strong sense of friendliness, which could quickly make people like her.

"Sure." Not wanting to refuse a smiling face, Zhai Anqi accepted Shen Yingying. "Are you a native of this area?"

Shen Yingying smiled and said, "Yes, I was born and raised here, and I've watched this place develop. I know all about its unique landscapes and services."

Zhai Anqi said, "Then I'll leave the rest to you."

"Of course." Shen Yingying checked the time. "It's 9:30 in the morning. I'll charge you 25 yuan for an hour. Is that okay?"

“Tour guide…” Zhai Anqi looked at Qin Zizhou, not expecting him to charge money, but she wasn’t stingy. “If you provide good service, I’ll give you a thousand yuan.”

Shen Yingying smiled and praised, "Sister, you're so generous."

Zhai Anqi realized she was starting to like Shen Yingying: "Could you help me make the bed? I'm going to talk to Zizhou."

Shen Yingying frowned slightly: "Zizhou?"

This name should be reserved for older sisters and elders, why is she calling it so intimately?

Zhai Anqi glanced at Qin Zizhou and explained helplessly, "My grandfather and Grandpa Qin are good friends, and Zizhou and I are also friends."

Shen Yingying reluctantly accepted this explanation: "I'll make the bed for you, you can go and talk to them."

Zhai Anqi approached Qin Zizhou: "Can we go outside and talk?"

Qin Zizhou, trying to avoid suspicion, said, "You can say it here."

Xi Danping also sensed something was off between the two, so he walked away.

Zhai Anqi felt somewhat embarrassed and pleaded, "Zizhou, I just wanted to talk to you, I didn't mean anything by it, please give me some face."

Qin Zizhou said, "We're not familiar with each other, so there's nothing to talk about."

Zhai Anqi looked directly at Qin Zizhou, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Why are you so cold to me?"

Qin Zizhou said calmly, "I treat everyone the same."

Zhai Anqi then said, "Can we have a proper talk?"

Qin Zizhou said, "I'm talking to you properly now. If it weren't for my grandfather's sake, I wouldn't have bothered with you after I came to pick you up."

Zhai Anqi was speechless.

Shen Yingying thought to herself, "Zhai Anqi seems to have feelings for Brother Zhou, but Brother Zhou is very indifferent. That's good. I'll tell my sister about it later."

Qin Zizhou said to Shen Yingying, "Yingying, please take care of her. I'll be leaving now."

"Okay," Shen Yingying replied, "I understand."

Qin Zizhou turned and left without hesitation.

Shen Yingying made the bed: "Sister Anqi, the bed is made. Shall we go for a walk?"

Zhai Anqi stared blankly at Qin Zizhou's retreating figure, only snapping back to reality when she heard Shen Yingying's words: "Open your suitcase and help me unpack my things. I'm going to rest for a bit."

Shen Yingying obediently replied, "Okay."

It took Shen Yingying fifteen minutes to pack her suitcase: "Sister Anqi, it's ready."

Zhai Anqi was reluctant to go out: "Could you buy me some food? I'm a little tired and don't want to go out."

"Okay." Shen Yingying nodded.

“Let’s add each other on WeChat.” Zhai Anqi took the initiative to add Shen Yingying on WeChat and sent her 1,000 yuan. “If I ask you to buy anything in the future, you can take the money from here.”

Shen Yingying said with satisfaction, "Okay." Then she asked, "What flavor do you like?"

Zhai Anqi sat on the sofa, waving her hand dejectedly: "Just buy it for me, I don't have any dietary restrictions, I can eat anything."

"Okay." Then Shen Yingying went to buy things for Zhai Anqi.

Zhai Anqi took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Qin Dandan: "Dandan, are you free?"

She is a good friend of Qin Dandan, and also the Qin family member with whom she has the best relationship.

Qin Dandan was in the restroom when she saw the message and replied, "I only have three minutes. What do you need? Tell me quickly."

"Why is your older cousin so cold to me?" Zhai Anqi couldn't understand it at all.

“My eldest cousin is cold to everyone.” Qin Dandan thought for a moment and then asked, “You went back to China? You went to Maoling?”

Zhai Anqi asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

Qin Dandan felt like she was being treated like a fool, so she quickly said, "Big sister, you don't need to ask me to know. Tell me, why did you suddenly come back to China?"

Zhai Anqi didn't hide anything from Qin Dandan, otherwise things would be complicated: "I want to pursue your older cousin, but he's so cold to me, I feel like my chances are slim."

Qin Dandan stared at the text, her eyes wide, and typed with both hands: "You're pursuing my older cousin? Are you out of your mind? My older cousin is getting married. He's in Maoling to be with his wife. Didn't you see her?"

Zhai Anqi was shocked and incredulous: "What? You have a sister-in-law?"

Qin Dandan replied: "Yes, they're getting married in a few months. You're too late."

Zhai Anqi was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses: "How could this be?"

Qin Dandan was surprised: "They've been dating for over three years, how come you didn't know?"

Zhai Anqi was filled with helplessness, disappointment, and a bit of anxiety: "Because I couldn't go back to China before, I didn't inquire much about your eldest cousin. I didn't expect it to be like this. But thankfully, your eldest cousin isn't married yet, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."

Qin Dandan was shocked: "What do you mean? You want to steal my older cousin? I advise you to give up this idea, or they will both beat you up."

Zhai Anqi: "???"

Qin Dandan said, "My eldest cousin is very loyal to his wife, and she loves him very much. If you try to sabotage things, they will definitely unite against you."

Zhai Anqi regained her confidence: "There are no loyal men in the world. Besides... your eldest cousin's wife, no, she's definitely not as good as me. Your eldest cousin will definitely choose me in the end."

Qin Dandan didn't know what expression to use: "Then you can try."

Zhai Anqi was puzzled: "Dandan, you don't think I'm a good candidate either?"

Qin Dandan explained, "If it weren't for your eldest cousin's wife, I would have been optimistic about you, but now that you have one, you should give up."

Zhai Anqi retorted, "You're telling me to give up without me even putting in the slightest effort? How much do you look down on me?"

Qin Dandan said helplessly, "If you don't listen to my advice, you'll definitely be the one who suffers in the end."

Zhai Anqi was determined to try, even if it meant going all in: "Even so, I'm going to give it a shot."

Qin Dandan gave a final piece of advice: "I wish you success, but if you run into a wall, be sure to turn back in time, or you'll definitely regret it. Okay, that's all for now, I have to get back to work."

Zhai Anqi replied, "Wait for my good news."

Qin Dandan reluctantly put her phone back in her pocket and went to work.

Zhai Anqi put her phone on the table and looked at Shen Yingying: "Yingying, I have a question for you."

Shen Yingying answered patiently, "Go ahead."

Zhai Anqi asked, "Do you know Zizhou's girlfriend?"

Shen Yingying was slightly taken aback: "Why are you doing this?"

Zhai Anqi was filled with curiosity about "her," and a hint of hostility: "I want to meet her."

Shen Yingying asked, "Why do you want to see her?"

Zhai Anqi said, "I just want to see what kind of girlfriend Qin Zizhou will find."

“She’s over at Flower Street now, I’ll take you there,” Shen Yingying thought to herself. It seemed this girl liked Brother Zhou. Good, she’d take her to see her sister, so she could understand the difference between them and give up on her own initiative.

“Okay, let’s go.” Zhai Anqi stood up and walked out with high spirits. She was determined to win Qin Zizhou over.

Shen Yingying quickly followed, feeling a little nervous.
