Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

The call was disconnected, and Xie Qingyu shifted her gaze from her phone to Zhou Shenye.

“It was an unimportant call.” Zhou Shenye put the phone back.

Zhou Shenye didn't want to see it at all. Zhou He had already made the decision to leave Xie Qingyu there alone, so calling again at this time would be useless.

It's too late.

Xie Qingyu didn't seem to have seen the name on the phone clearly, and didn't comment on Zhou Shenye hanging up.

This led Zhou Shenye to believe that she hadn't seen clearly, so he didn't mention it.

Until she spoke, "Zhou He went to see Xie Qingqing."

Zhou Shenye looked up at Xie Qingyu in surprise, only to find that her eyes were not very clear, but her tone was firm.

This wasn't a drunken guess, so there's only one possibility: "You knew all along?"

"Xie Qingqing called Zhou He away." Xie Qingyu turned around and sat down at the bar, still holding an unfinished drink in her hand.

Zhou Shenye took two steps forward and sat down next to her.

“Zhou He won’t do.” Zhou Shenye’s tone was low and tinged with frustration.

“They’re childhood sweethearts, it’s understandable,” Xie Qingyu said casually.

Zhou Shenye looked at Xie Qingyu, confirming that she was not in a conscious state and that what she said was the truth.

For some reason, Zhou Shenye, who was initially happy, seemed a little annoyed when he saw Xie Qingyu's expression.

What's even more annoying is that Zhou He did something so hurtful.

"So, are you going to break off the engagement with him?" Zhou Shenye looked at Xie Qingyu seriously.

Xie Qingyu looked at Zhou Shenye with a somewhat unclear gaze, as if she was sizing him up and thinking about why he asked the question.

Under Zhou Shenye's gaze, Xie Qingyu slowly shook her head.

"why?"

"Where will I go after this is over?" Xie Qingyu was a little drunk, but her logic was flawless.

She was taken back to the Xie family because of this engagement; if the engagement is dissolved, where will she go?

Because of this one sentence, Zhou Shenye seemed to suddenly understand, and those worries seemed to have a solution.

“There’s always somewhere to go.” Zhou Shenye’s tone was light as he raised his glass and clinked it against Xie Qingyu’s. “Trust me.”

As long as she remains useful, the Xie family won't do anything to her.

Zhou Shenye secretly thought that his thinking hadn't been broad enough before, but he still had to thank Zhou He for his unreliability this time.

When Xie Qingyu woke up here for the second time, it was as if she had gotten used to it, and she no longer felt apologetic as she had the first time.

The two ate breakfast together without any awkwardness in their interactions.

"Then I'll head back now," Xie Qingyu said after finishing her meal.

"Take your phone with you." Zhou Shenye reached out and, along with Xie Qingyu's hand, landed on the phone on the table.

The hand, which had developed muscle memory, unconsciously stroked Xie Qingyu's smooth hand. Xie Qingyu stopped and looked at Zhou Shenye.

Zhou Shenye withdrew his hand under her gaze, his expression natural. "Sorry."

Xie Qingyu shook her head upon hearing this, then bent down closer to Zhou Shenye and said, word by word, "Every time Uncle touches me, he touches me, is it because...?"

Even after Xie Qingyu left, Zhou Shenye remained rooted to the spot, Xie Qingyu's words still echoing in his ears.

After a long while, his lips finally curved into a smile.

It seems we've been discovered.

No need to install it.

-------------------------------------

When Xie Qingyu returned to the Xie family home, the air in the living room seemed to freeze for a moment.

It seems that everything is pretty much the same as when she left.

Xie Anshan with a serious expression, Xie Qingqing in a bad mood, and Wang Meilin who was wary of her.

This time, her staying out all night was obviously discovered. Upon seeing her return, Xie Anshan was the first to get angry, "What did you do last night? A girl like you, not coming home so late at night."

Xie Qingqing's gaze also fell on Xie Qingyu. Her eyes no longer held the rigidity she had when she returned yesterday. It was obvious that she had a good conversation with Zhou He yesterday, and her words proved it: "Where did Sister Qingyu go yesterday? We were all worried about you when you didn't come back, including Zhou He."

Xie Qingqing's meaning was clear: she knew Xie Qingyu hadn't been with Zhou He last night, and she wanted to stop using Zhou He as an excuse.

Xie Qingyu smiled slightly, "It seems so. I saw Zhou He make several phone calls this morning, but I didn't answer any of them."

Xie Qingyu said with a smile, without a trace of regret on her face.

She glanced at the three people in the living room, and opened her mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted by a knock on the door behind her.

Xie Qingyu reached out and opened the door; it was Assistant Feng, who had just brought her back.

Assistant Feng was followed by a driver carrying some gift boxes.

Upon seeing him enter, Xie Qingqing jumped up from the sofa in surprise, her voice trembling slightly, and her face showing a mixture of delight and surprise. "Mr. Zhou?"

Assistant Feng clearly saw the surprise in Xie Qingqing's eyes, but he didn't say anything, acting as if he didn't know her.

Xie Qingqing still thinks that Assistant Feng is Zhou Shenye, but Xie Anshan knows Assistant Feng.

He clearly heard Xie Qingqing's words when he stood up to greet her, and his heart skipped a beat, but he didn't say anything at that moment. He just smiled and asked Assistant Feng, "Mr. Feng, what's this?"

Assistant Feng had already put down what he was holding, and after directing the driver to put down what he was holding as well, Assistant Feng looked at Xie Anshan.

“Mr. Xie has raised a wonderful daughter.” Upon hearing this, Xie Anshan’s gaze instinctively turned to Xie Qingqing. Just as he was about to smile, he saw Assistant Feng point to Xie Qingyu beside him. “Miss Qingyu is excellent in every way. Mr. Zhou had a very pleasant conversation with Miss Qingyu yesterday, and he seems to be in much better spirits. These are gifts of thanks, and also to apologize for taking up Miss Qingyu’s time last night.”

Assistant Feng, adhering to his duties as an assistant, left with his driver after finishing speaking.

Before leaving, I smiled and waved to Xie Qingyu as I passed by.

Watching Assistant Feng walk away, the slightly smug expression on Xie Qingqing's face when she was talking to Xie Qingyu disappeared.

It even brought a sense of collapse.

She pointed at the departing Assistant Feng and said incredulously, "Who...who is that, Dad? Who is that? If it's not Zhou Shenye, then who is he?"

At this moment, Xie Qingqing felt an overwhelming sense of sorrow.

“That’s Zhou Shenye’s top assistant, Feng Shang.” Xie Anshan withdrew his gaze and said, his eyes shifting to Xie Qingqing’s face with a calm that seemed to foreshadow a storm. “You said before that you got close to Zhou Shenye and knew his weaknesses. You weren’t referring to him, were you?”

Xie Qingqing's gaze returned blankly. "He never denied it..."

"Foolish!" Wang Meilin realized the meaning behind their words after hearing them. She had been so excited to come up with the idea of ​​a marriage swap.

As a result, her daughter even mistook the person for someone else.

Her gaze fell on Xie Qingyu, who was standing to the side, and she suddenly realized, "So all of these were given to you by Zhou Shenye?"

For a moment, all three people in the living room were looking at Xie Qingyu.
