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

"Well, okay then," Xie Qingyu replied softly.

Seeing that she agreed, Zhao Kuangxi smiled again.

“Okay, this is the bodyguard I found for you. I'll pay his salary, so you don't need to worry about it. I'll also talk to your dad, and he'll be your personal bodyguard.” Zhao Kuangxi's expression was not good when he mentioned Xie's father.

After this incident, Zhao Kuangxi immediately sought out people to investigate Xie Qingyu's life over the years.

The message has now been sent to his phone.

"You should focus on getting better first. I'll come see you again tomorrow." Zhao Kuangxi was quite busy at the moment, and he walked out as he spoke.

Qin Zheng followed him.

The two of them went outside and closed the door before they started talking.

Zhao Kuangxi first looked at Qin Zheng's expression, then gave a forced smile, "It's really not my fault. You're the only one who can be of use in the country right now. The old man asked you to help look after him, so I had no choice. Otherwise, if you don't want to be a bodyguard, I'll go and tell her that you have a younger brother who can protect you for a while."

Zhao Kuangxi's words became somewhat unreasonable.

But there was really no other way.

Qin Zheng has no real connection with Xie Qingyu. He is a relative of Zhao Kuangxi's maternal grandfather, but due to some reasons, he grew up in the Zhao family. He returned to China in the last two years and came to Xie Qingyu's house because he needed something.

“Otherwise, we could just hire another bodyguard, but as you know, many bodyguards can only protect her when there’s danger, they can’t teach her along the way.” Zhao Kuangxi said, opening the investigation report on his phone.

It was one thing not to have seen it before, but now that he's looking at this report, Zhao Kuangxi's fists are clenched.

"Look, this is too much of a bullying." Zhao Kuangxi handed his phone to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng frowned and took the phone from him.

The situation described above is certainly something to frown upon.

"Steamed buns." Qin Zheng commented after reading it.

He simply couldn't understand how Xie Qingyu could endure such a life without resisting.

"If I didn't have to go back, I would have protected him myself. It's not good to break ties with the Xie family right now, so I can only trouble you." Zhao Kuangxi looked at him for help.

Qin Zheng looked back and could see Xie Qingyu on the bed through the small window of the room. She was curled up on the bed, her pale face devoid of color.

Despite having suffered such a great injustice, she still managed to smile when she saw them coming.

"One month."

“Okay, one month it is!” Zhao Kuangxi immediately agreed.

“Then you’ll be her bodyguard. That’s a tough job. You know it’s not just about being a simple bodyguard. I hope her personality will change,” Zhao Kuangxi requested.

He hoped Xie Qingyu could become bolder and more rebellious, or that Qin Zheng could teach her something useful.

Otherwise, even if he were to bring her back to the Zhao family later, she wouldn't have a good life.

Now that Qin Zheng has agreed, he is relieved.

"I'll have someone send you the bodyguard's full set of equipment later. I'm leaving this afternoon, so please handle her discharge from the hospital then. I'll take care of Xie Qi's side before I leave."

Zhao Kuangxi's time was really tight; he still had to arrange things properly.

"Okay," Qin Zheng replied.

Qin Zheng himself was somewhat surprised that he accepted the task without really understanding what was going on.

He had only heard about Xie Qingyu, his 'older sister,' in occasional conversations with his elders, and every few years when Zhao Kuangxi returned to China, he would say that he had a younger sister who was as beautiful as a doll.

Aside from that, there was no other interaction between them.

And now he's going to act as her bodyguard for a month, which is really novel.

After Zhao Kuangxi left, Qin Zheng stayed outside for a while before going in.

Xie Qingyu looked up and saw that it was him who came in. She looked a little flustered and then looked outside again.

"Your brother had to leave first. I will be protecting you closely for the next month. I hope you can cooperate with me." Qin Zheng spoke with a blank expression, looking cold and somewhat aloof.

Xie Qingyu quickly looked up at him and nodded, "Okay."

Qin Zheng was not a talkative person, nor did he have much of a sense of responsibility as a bodyguard. He stayed on the sofa in the ward, watching the nurses remove the needles from Xie Qingyu.

Even the nurses became a little nervous under his gaze.

"You can be discharged after this injection, or you can stay in the hospital for observation. If you feel uncomfortable, be sure to tell us. The wound on your head needs to be dressed every two days. You can ask your family doctor or come here to have it changed." The nurse's voice was gentle, and she spoke to Xie Qingyu as if she were instructing a child.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Qin Zheng, signaling him to remember.

She didn't dare ask, just looking at Qin Zheng's face.

The nurses didn't know what the relationship was between Xie Qingyu and Qin Zheng, or how to address each other.

Just as they were about to ask Xie Qingyu if she was going to be discharged from the hospital, a voice suddenly came from outside.

Then several people entered the ward.

Xie Qingli and Jian Linchuan were at the very front, followed by Xie's father.

"Sister, are you alright? It's all my fault." Xie Qingli stepped forward and grabbed Xie Qingyu's hand, completely disregarding the injection site that had just been removed from her hand.

Qin Zheng stood to the side, frowning, but did not step forward.

Xie Qingyu tried to pull her hand away but couldn't, and it remained in her hand.

The wound was quite obvious, and it hurt a little when she pressed it.

However, no one else present noticed this, or rather, they noticed it but didn't care at all.

"I shouldn't have looked at your necklace. That way, Brother Linchuan wouldn't have protected me because you pushed me, and Sister wouldn't have gotten hurt." In front of Father Xie, Qingli was used to saying such distorted things, speaking as if it were the truth.

Jian Linchuan, who witnessed the entire process, was like someone who was blind in both eyes and mind, completely agreeing with what Qingli said.

"I can't give you this necklace." Xie Qingyu touched the necklace around her neck and said stubbornly, "This was left to me by my mother."

"Even if it was left by your mother, you can't push Qingli away for a necklace." Jian Linchuan was still indignant, feeling that he had done nothing wrong.

"I didn't push her, you were the one who pushed me." Even when Xie Qingyu retorted, her voice was soft. She was clearly in the right, but she didn't say it with any force.

So Jian Linchuan automatically ignored it, saying, "You're going to marry me later, can't you be a little more magnanimous? What's the point of arguing with your little sister, who's just a child? Besides, it's just a necklace."

"Brother Linchuan has already bought me a lot of necklaces, I won't take yours." Qingli's tone was ambiguous, whether it was showing off or something else.

"You're the older sister, Linchuan is right, don't hold such a small matter against your younger sister," Xie's father said earnestly to Xie Qingyu.

“What happened today was an accident. If you hadn’t made the first move, Lin Chuan wouldn’t have been in such a hurry to push you down. It just so happens that your cousin saw it. You can explain to him later that this was just you and your sister playing around.” Father Xie stepped forward to smooth things over.

Just like every similar incident before, Xie's father always believed Xie Qingli's side of the story and never listened to what Xie Qingyu had to say.

Xie Qingyu clearly had some hope at the beginning, and even looked at her father when she explained, but her father acted as if he hadn't heard what she said.

He only stepped forward now because Zhao Kuangxi saw him this time; otherwise, he wouldn't have cared about this matter.

Of course, the only thing he was concerned about after he arrived was whether Xie Qingyu's head injury would leave a scar.

After confirming that it wouldn't leave a scar, I didn't ask another question.

"I didn't do it." Xie Qingyu said anxiously.

From Qin Zheng's perspective, Xie Qingyu's eyes were red, but she was holding back her tears.

"Alright, stop fooling around. If you want the necklace, just buy it yourself later." Mr. Xie had no desire to listen to her and simply waved his hand dismissively.

“Yes, sister, Brother Linchuan bought too many necklaces this time, I can’t wear them all. How about I give you two?” Qingli had been standing with Jian Linchuan since she came in. Anyone who didn’t know better would think that the two of them were the real engaged couple.

"Qingli is much more generous," Jian Linchuan said. "Your apology to Qingli is the end of this matter."

Xie Qingyu remained silent, looking at Qin Zheng with pleading eyes.

But she only glanced at it. Perhaps she was used to having nowhere to turn for help, and Xie Qingyu had become accustomed to such situations.

She quickly looked away and lowered her head.

This situation seemed to have played out countless times before. Xie Qingyu, a small person, was facing three people, yet it still seemed like she was the one making a fuss.

"This isn't quite right," Qin Zheng finally stood up from the sofa.

"Who are you?" Qingli asked immediately when he spoke.

She had seen the person sitting on the sofa as soon as she entered the room.

However, she didn't recognize him, and since the man was dressed in all black and had his back to them, she initially thought he was a bodyguard. But when he stood up and turned around, she realized he probably wasn't.

Such height and imposing presence are completely unbecoming of a bodyguard.

"As far as I know, this happened because this young lady tried to steal Miss Qingyu's necklace, and you two... Qin Zheng pointed at Jian Linchuan, one is her fiancé, and the other is her father. You completely ignored her explanation and only wanted her to apologize. There must be something wrong with you two, right?"

It's unclear whether his last words were directed at Jian Linchuan and Xie's father, or at Jian Linchuan and Xie Qingli.

Xie Qingli's gaze shifted, she glanced at Jian Linchuan without speaking, but there was a clear expectation in her eyes.

Jian Linchuan seemed a little guilty, and his voice unconsciously grew louder, "Who you are is a family matter."

"I am Miss Qingyu's personal bodyguard, and I will be responsible for her safety from now on, preventing people like you from getting close to her and causing her harm," Qin Zheng said sarcastically.

"So it was you, Mr. Zhao's bodyguard. From now on, my daughter's safety will be in your hands." Mr. Xie spoke very politely.
