Xie Qingyu went upstairs, meeting the gazes of the three people. "Mr. Zhou is a very nice person. Yesterday..."

Xie Qingyu paused deliberately and looked at Xie Qingqing, "Yesterday, he saw that Zhou He wasn't with me and was worried that I, a girl alone, might encounter some danger, so he took me in."

A grateful smile seemed to appear on her face. "Speaking of which, I have to thank Qingqing, otherwise I wouldn't have met Mr. Zhou."

"Take a look at these things and see if there's anything you like. Take them all."

After Xie Qingyu finished speaking, she went upstairs without giving the group a chance to continue their questioning.

Her words had almost shattered Xie Qingqing's psychological defenses.

Yesterday, when she was talking to Zhou He, she felt confident that what was hers would eventually be hers.

But now she feels like a clown, being played for a fool.

"Look what you've done!" Xie Anshan couldn't help but curse.

Wang Meilin stepped forward to try and persuade him, but Xie Anshan glared at her and said, "You've raised a fool!"

Xie Anshan left in a huff. Now that things were in this situation, he needed to think carefully about what to do next.

After he left, Xie Qingqing staggered back onto the sofa and looked at Wang Meilin, "Mom, what should I do now?"

Wang Meilin's heart melted when she saw Xie Qingqing's sad expression. She stepped forward and hugged Xie Qingqing, saying, "Don't worry, don't worry, it's not your fault. Mommy will think of a way to help you."

Wang Meilin pondered Xie Qingqing's current situation, as almost everyone knew about her previous marriage to Zhou He.

If it weren't for the desire to be with Zhou Shenye, I would never have hastily broken off the engagement. Otherwise, someone who has broken off an engagement with the Zhou family before would be someone that every family would have to think twice about.

Therefore, Xie Qingqing's best option right now is to find Zhou He. The two of them have a bond, so Xie Qingyu's opinion is not important.

especially......

A hint of anger flashed in Wang Meilin's eyes. Why was that girl so lucky?

Xie Qingyu knew nothing about what was happening downstairs.

Back in her room, Xie Qingyu collapsed onto the bed and asked the system, "What's the current mission progress?"

The system's voice carried a hint of excitement: "[The mission progress in this world is 80% complete.]"

"Why are you so excited?" Xie Qingyu rarely spoke to the system.

system:......

The progress has increased by 30% in the last few days, shouldn't we be excited?

It would be abnormal if she didn't react at all.

Despite its inner turmoil, the system's words were always precise and methodical: "[Happy for the host.]"

Xie Qingyu snorted, clearly disbelieving, but did not press the matter further.

Such task progress was almost entirely planned by her; the changes in the early stages could be used to predict the later progress with little difference.

Seeing that Xie Qingyu remained silent, the system also began to play dead.

Having experienced so many worlds, it has come to realize that this woman doesn't need its system at all.

It deserves to be so busy in the background. I don't even know what it's looking at, but the task progress is increasing rapidly. It shouldn't be interfering; it's better for it to stay put and not say anything.

There was silence on this end, and Xie Qingyu started making her phone call to get attention.

She didn't know when her phone had been silenced, and she was unaware of the later calls Zhou He made yesterday.

Even if I knew, I wouldn't answer.

Just then, Zhou He called again.

Xie Qingyu looked at it for a while and finally answered.

Zhou He on the other end probably didn't expect to get through this time, and remained silent for a long time after the call connected.

"I'll hang up if there's nothing else," Xie Qingyu's voice rang out.

Zhou He on the other end seemed to come to life instantly, his voice urgent, "Don't hang up!"

Xie Qingyu didn't hang up, listening to Zhou He's voice on the other end.

He probably checked to see if Xie Qingyu had hung up, and only continued after confirming that she hadn't, "Last night... last night I had something to do and left without telling you... you didn't go home last night?"

"Are you here to interrogate me?" Xie Qingyu's tone was calm and playful. "Who told you I didn't go home last night?"

Xie Qingyu's tone made Zhou He stop. He seemed to find a place to sit down, or perhaps he was sorting out his thoughts.

"Qingqing called crying yesterday... so I left without telling you, which was wrong of me, but I had Qin Dan take you home..."

"So Qingqing told you I didn't come back yesterday?"

"I couldn't get through to you on the phone yesterday, so I asked Qin Dan, and he said your uncle took you home." Zhou He was a little annoyed. He had asked Qin Dan when he couldn't get through to Xie Qingyu yesterday.

Although Qin Dan said that, he didn't dare to call Zhou Shenye.

Even though Xie Qingyu's calls went unanswered.

He simply believed that sending someone back from his uncle's place would be fine, but he didn't know why Xie Qingyu was unwilling to go back.

“We are engaged now, and we’re about to have our engagement party.” Xie Qingyu paused for a moment. “Of course, it’s understandable that you went to comfort Qingqing and left me because you were in a bad mood, after all, you two had a past relationship. But you shouldn’t question me just because you listened to her.”

Xie Qingyu's words struck Zhou He like a hammer blow, "I wasn't questioning you..."

It's caring.

Zhou He was interrupted by the sound of the phone being hung up before he could finish speaking.

Zhou He looked at his phone, a fleeting look of annoyance crossing his face. Qin Dan's mocking laughter from yesterday seemed to still echo in his ears.

He said he lacked responsibility.

Zhou He's face was full of regret, but the next moment, Xie Qingqing's phone call broke his solitude.

He glanced at the screen but answered anyway, and heard Xie Qingqing crying on the other end...

Unlike Zhou He, Zhou Shenye was playing chess with the old man in his room.

Looking at Zhou Shenye's expression and thinking about his recent actions, Old Master Zhou snorted twice before speaking, "Have you been very happy lately?"

"So-so." Zhou Shenye placed his piece without even looking up.

“Although you are now in charge of the Zhou family, you can’t go too far. Zhou He is a good-natured child, so you don’t need to overdo it.”

“He was indecisive, so it’s not entirely my fault.” Zhou Shenye’s tone was devoid of any remorse.

"Children are not very mature." The old man still felt a little sorry for them.

“You learn faster from your mistakes,” Zhou Shenye said.

The old man snorted, "You've grown up fast even though you haven't eaten it."

Zhou Shenye lowered his eyes; he had already eaten.

Big loss.
