Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

After the two left, Tao Jiuxi immediately called Mu'er: "Mu'er, come and help me."

The next morning, Xu came to find Tao Jiuxi early, wanting to go to Huici Temple together.

However, before the two of them left Tao Jiuxi's house, Xie Ningqiu also hurried over.

When Mrs. Xu saw Xie Ningqiu coming, she suddenly felt dissatisfied: "You want to go too?"

During this period of time, Xie Ningqiu had only pleaded for Tao Jiuxi once, but it had no effect, and he had ignored her since then. Xu was extremely dissatisfied with this.

If she hadn't been worried that Tao Jiuxi wouldn't agree yesterday, she would never have invited Xie Ningqiu to come see Tao Jiuxi together. But now that Tao Jiuxi has agreed, Xu was furious when she saw Xie Ningqiu.

"I haven't seen Mei'er for a long time. She is my niece. What's wrong with me picking her up?" Xie Ningqiu responded.

"Hmph." Xu's face was full of disdain.

Tao Jiuxi watched the two people arguing, and wondered with interest who would have the upper hand this time.

Afterwards, she took Mu'er in a carriage, while Xie Ningqiu and Xu also rode in the same carriage.

When the carriage was driving on an empty road, Tao Jiuxi could occasionally hear the two people arguing.

After the carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain, they had to walk up the mountain. Huici Temple was located on the mountain. Tao Jiuxi was not a person who liked climbing mountains, but today he took the initiative to go to the mountain in person to meet Xie Shumei.

Of course, halfway through the journey, she regretted it.

This mountain is really too high.

"Girl, I'll hold your hand and walk with you." Mu'er has relatively better physical strength because she often does work.

Tao Jiuxi looked back and saw Xie Ningqiu walking a few steps and then stopping for a few times, and then seemed to have regained some strength. She thought to herself: She is so tired that she just pretends.

"Girl, you are hurting the enemy by a thousand and yourself by eight hundred." Mu'er said, following Tao Jiuxi's gaze.

"No, I only lost 500 yuan, and I still have strength." Tao Jiuxi responded stubbornly.

This group of people who lacked long-term exercise finally climbed to the top of the mountain panting after more than an hour.

Tao Jiuxi was breathing heavily, looking at Xie Ningqiu who was even more tired than himself, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

After a short rest, they explained their purpose to the nun in Huici Temple and were then led to the house where Xie Shumei was.

As the daughter of a wealthy family in the city, Xie Shumei was specially arranged a quiet and peaceful place for her by the nuns in the temple.

At this moment, Xie Shumei was kneeling on a cushion, facing a Buddha statue. From behind, she looked like she was praying.

"Mei'er, mother is here." There was a hint of sob in Xu's voice.

Xie Shumei didn't turn around immediately after hearing Xu's voice. Instead, her casual kneeling posture instantly straightened. She then kowtowed to the Buddha statue in front of her with great dignity before slowly rising.

When she turned around and her eyes met Tao Jiuxi, a flash of jealousy flashed across her eyes.

But when he saw Xie Ningqiu, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Aunt, you're here too?"

Xie Ningqiu, who had ignored her, actually showed up here today.

"Mei'er, you have suffered." Xie Ningqiu stood there with tears in her eyes, but still maintained the demeanor of an elder.

"Thank you for your concern, aunt."

Xie Shumei's tone became extremely flat and distant. Xie Ningqiu felt a little uncomfortable after hearing that, but she didn't say much. She thought to herself that it must be Xu who said bad things about her in front of Xie Shumei, but she had a clear conscience, so why should she be afraid of other people's comments.

Tao Jiuxi stood quietly by, his hands folded across his chest, watching this "performance" coldly.

She sneered in her heart, wondering what Xie Shumei was up to again. She didn't believe that she really regretted it.

Just as I was thinking about it, I was suddenly called.

"Miss Tao, thank you for coming up the mountain to welcome me back today. I did something wrong before and I feel guilty. I have been reflecting on my mistakes every day and writing countless letters of repentance, which I plan to take to the tower of repentance in the back mountain to burn." Xie Shumei said with a sincere look of repentance on her face, and her hands were unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes.

"Mei'er, you also wrote a letter of repentance?" Xu couldn't help but ask, her face full of surprise, obviously feeling very strange about this matter.

Upon hearing this, Tao Jiuxi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Second Miss Xie, do you have to wait until I get here to burn your letter of repentance?"

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of doubt.

"I just want Miss Tao to know my regret. Please come with me." Xie Shumei raised her head and looked at Tao Jiuxi with pitiful eyes.

"As for you, you don't know what's good for you, you have no sense of shame, and you don't deserve sympathy, but I will go with you."

Tao Jiuxi said these words bluntly with a sneer on his face. The sharp tone made everyone present feel very irritated.

After saying that, he rolled his eyes at Xie Shumei.

"Jiuxi, Mei'er really knows she was wrong and she even wrote a letter of repentance. Please don't bother with her because she is so ignorant." Upon hearing this, Xu softened her voice and tried to smooth things over. With a flattering smile on her face, she walked to Tao Jiuxi.

Before Tao Jiuxi could respond, Xie Shumei spoke up, "Mei'er has sincerely repented. If Miss Tao forgives me, please join me in burning this letter of repentance."

Tao Jiuxi nodded slightly and said nonchalantly: "I can go. Do you want to have a cup of tea before going?"

"Have a cup of tea?" Xie Shumei looked puzzled, her brows slightly furrowed, and her eyes showed confusion.

"Since you know you are wrong, you must pour me some tea to apologize." Tao Jiuxi raised his chin slightly and looked at Xie Shumei provocatively.

Xie Shumei was stunned for a moment, bit her lip, and then turned around to pour tea.

She walked up to Tao Jiuxi holding the teacup, forced a smile on her face, and said, "Please forgive me, Miss Tao."

Tao Jiuxi took the cup, without even glancing at it, and poured the cold water out onto the ground. Then he said, "You haven't even prepared the tea? Well, shall we go now?"

Has Xie Shumei run out of the drug?

What's the big deal about pouring her a glass of cold water? It's too disrespectful to her as the "victim" who is about to be plotted against.
