Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook
Chapter 510 The Obedient Young Lady's Cold-Faced Bodyguard 4
Xie's father still treated Qin Zheng very well.
It's probably because Zhao Kuangxi had already told him about this before he left, and Qin Zheng's presence here also signifies Zhao Kuangxi's control over the situation.
“So I think this matter should be resolved by this young lady apologizing to Miss Qingyu and stating that she will not covet Miss Qingyu’s things in the future,” Qin Zheng said.
"How is that possible!" Jian Linchuan jumped out even before Xie Qingli.
"It's just a minor squabble between the two sisters; it's nowhere near the point where they need to apologize," Xie's father said.
"We're here today to pick Qingyu up from the hospital. Okay, let's get her discharged now. Dad will buy you a few more necklaces when you get out." Mr. Xie's words were meant to gloat over the matter.
Jian Linchuan was acting like a fool; there was no point in him speaking up at this time. Xie's father was just hoping to let the matter drop.
Qin Zheng didn't speak but looked at Xie Qingyu. At this moment, his identity as a bodyguard still had some limitations, and Xie Qingyu had to express her apology herself.
But Xie Qingyu clearly didn't understand what he meant.
When he looked over, Xie Qingyu's eyes were full of gratitude and admiration, which made Qin Zheng subconsciously avoid her gaze.
"Let's go, Whisper," Xie's father said.
Xie Qingyu hadn't even thought about apologizing, or rather, she already felt that Qin Zheng had done her a great favor by not making her apologize, and she never expected that they would apologize to her.
Xie's father said he was there to pick Xie Qingyu up from the hospital, but it was just talk.
There weren't even enough cars to seat everyone.
"Uncle, let me take you back." Jian Linchuan was very good at currying favor with his father-in-law at this time, inviting him to ride in his car and having the driver take Xie Qingyu and Qin Zheng back.
Xie Qingyu still lives in the Xie family villa.
All her belongings were here. She had originally planned to move out during college, but Qingli said that since the whole family lived in the same city, there was no reason for Xie Qingyu to live alone. That's why Xie Qingyu couldn't move out as she wished.
After Xie Qingyu returned home, she was practically invisible.
Although these aunties were very polite to Xie Qingyu, they didn't really take her seriously.
Her room was on the second floor.
Previously, she had the best spot on the third floor, but after Xie Qingli arrived, the third floor became hers, and Xie Qingyu moved to the second floor.
The other rooms on the second floor are guest rooms.
Xie Qingyu only noticed Qin Zheng, who had followed her in, when she was about to close the door after returning to her room.
Although she knew he was a bodyguard, Xie Qingyu hadn't expected him to be this close.
"Um..." Xie Qingyu didn't know how to address him for a moment, "I'm going to sleep later, do you want to go and rest too?"
For three seconds after Xie Qingyun finished speaking, Qin Zheng remained silent.
Xie Qingyu was somewhat at a loss. She had no experience interacting with other men, especially Qin Zheng, whose imposing presence made her nervous.
"You didn't arrange a room for me," Qin Zheng said when she didn't react.
"Ah... I almost forgot. Why don't you stay in the room next door for now? I'll have the auntie tidy it up for you later. No one else is staying on this floor," Xie Qingyu explained softly.
"Hmm." Qin Zheng didn't raise any objections, which put Xie Qingyu at ease.
"Are you going there now?" Xie Qingyu asked.
She pointed to the door, indicating that Qin Zheng could go out now.
"I am your personal bodyguard," Qin Zheng said.
?
Xie Qingyu didn't immediately understand the meaning of his words.
"So I'll stay here with you now." Qin Zheng showed no intention of leaving.
Xie Qingyu's room was also a suite.
Upon entering, you'll find a small living room with a sofa and coffee table, followed by a walk-in closet, bedroom, and other similar layouts.
"You can go back to your room to sleep if you want. I'll be in the living room, and I'll also check if you get a fever while you sleep tonight." Qin Zheng remembered what the nurse said at that time very clearly, even more clearly than Xie Qingyu.
"Okay." Xie Qingyu obviously wouldn't refuse such a forceful arrangement, so she could only nod in agreement.
But once I got to bed, I couldn't fall asleep.
She probably felt a little uncomfortable knowing there was another adult male in the room.
After lying down for a while, she still couldn't fall asleep and was a little hungry, so she had to get up.
When I got to the living room, I saw Qin Zheng on the sofa with his phone lit up, doing something.
Hearing the sound, she looked up and saw Xie Qingyu.
Xie Qingyu stopped abruptly, then slowly continued walking forward.
"Are you hungry? Would you like Auntie to make you something to eat too?" Xie Qingyu asked.
Qin Zheng shook his head, "I don't need it."
"Then I'll take mine." Xie Qingyu hadn't eaten anything since she was unconscious that morning, and she was really hungry now.
She called downstairs to ask the housekeeper to cook a meal and then hung up to wait there.
Now the two of them were truly alone in the room. Xie Qingyu was too embarrassed to go inside, so she could only stand there awkwardly.
Qin Zheng looked at her. After she went in, she changed into a set of pajamas. They were very conservative yet casual, and the clothes were loose on her body, only revealing a section of her white, lotus-root-like arms.
Her hair was also loose on both sides, making her look even more well-behaved and younger, not at all like a 22-year-old.
Seeing that she seemed a little reserved, Qin Zheng got up from the sofa and gestured for Xie Qingyu to sit down next to him.
"Do you feel hot now?" Qin Zheng's deep voice rang out.
Xie Qingyu shook her head. "It's not hot."
"Has your sister been bullying you like this all along?" Qin Zheng's direct question left Xie Qingyu somewhat at a loss.
"No...not really..." Xie Qingyu didn't know how to say it.
"Don't panic." Qin Zheng's deep voice calmed Xie Qingyu down.
"It's alright, she's always been like this." Xie Qingyu's voice was low, and her head was also lowered, leaving Qin Zheng with only the top of her head visible.
Perhaps it was Qin Zheng's tone that made her feel at ease, and it made her realize that Qin Zheng was on her side.
"So you don't resist because you're used to it?" Qin Zheng asked.
His tone became slightly harsher, and Xie Qingyu immediately panicked.
“It’s no use,” Xie Qingyu said. “Nobody believes me.”
"I'm here for you." Qin Zheng only said this one sentence.
With him around, Xie Qingyu could do anything, but it's unclear whether Xie Qingyu could understand that statement.
After all, his current identity is just a bodyguard.
But at least for this month, he won't watch Xie Qingyu be bullied.
"Thank you." Xie Qingyu wasn't sure if she understood, but she thanked him softly.
Qin Zheng didn't explain further. He had already said a lot today, and he wouldn't have bothered if he hadn't been so unable to stand it.
Qin Zheng remained quiet for the rest of the time, sitting in a corner of the room. If you ignored his aura, you would hardly notice him.
No sound was made.
When Xie Qingyu finished eating and looked up, he was still standing there.
The moment he noticed Xie Qingyu's gaze was about to fall on him, Xie Qingyu quickly looked away.
Xie Qingyu pretended not to care about his presence and casually looked around her walk-in closet.
Although the living conditions were not very good, the original owner was still treated well in terms of material things.
The walk-in closet is filled with designer clothes for the season, as well as some high-end jewelry and bags.
They are all very ladylike in style, with occasional exceptions that are not too outrageous. The styles are almost uniform, all belonging to the "good girl" category.
Xie Qingyu hadn't even checked what else she had when her phone rang at this inopportune moment.
Xie Qingyu glanced at the caller ID and answered the phone.
The original owner had saved the visitor's contact information as Aunt Qi.
That is, Jian Linchuan's mother.
Xie Qingyu answered the phone and greeted her sweetly, "Aunt Qi."
"........."
"at home."
"........."
"I'm fine, I'm okay, you don't need to come over." Xie Qingyu's voice was somewhat fearful.
"........."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come over."
Xie Qingyu ultimately did not decline.
After hanging up the phone, she looked at Qin Zheng, as if he had become her pillar of support even though he had only been there for half a day.
However, Qin Zheng was clearly not a warm-hearted person, nor was he a qualified bodyguard. At this moment, he did not ask Xie Qingyu anything.
"I'm going to change my clothes. Aunt Qi is coming over later. Aunt Qi is Jian Linchuan's... the mother of the man in the ward today," Xie Qingyu told Qin Zheng.
After Xie Qingyu finished speaking, she quickly went back to her room to change her clothes. A short while later, she came out wearing a dress and her hair was tied up with a hair tie, making her look even more well-behaved.
Xie Qingyu went downstairs, and Qin Zheng followed behind her.
There should be no one else at home at this time; Xie's father and Jian Linchuan haven't returned yet.
After Xie Qingyu came down, she asked the aunt to prepare some fruit.
Sure enough, Aunt Qi arrived not long afterward.
However, Jian Linchuan and Xie Qingli also entered the room with her.
Xie Qingyu's eyes were initially filled with joy when she saw Aunt Qi come in, but the smile disappeared when she saw the people behind her enter.
Even so, she still greeted her politely, "Aunt Qi."
"My sweetie, were you getting impatient?" Aunt Qi came forward to examine Xie Qingyu closely. "Is your injury that serious? Why weren't you hospitalized?"
Aunt Qi's worry was genuine.
"Thankfully, I've already been in the hospital for a day," Xie Qingyu said.
"You still need to take good care of it. What if it leaves a scar if you don't take good care of it on your forehead?" Aunt Qi said worriedly.
"The doctor said it's nothing serious, I can just change the dressing when the time comes," Xie Qingyu replied obediently.
"Come and sit down." Aunt Qi doesn't come here very often, and she probably wouldn't have come this time if Xie Qingyu hadn't been injured.
After sitting down, she turned her attention to Jian Linchuan.
"Did you inflict the injury on Qingyu's head?" Aunt Qi asked sternly.
"She did it first..."
"Don't talk to me about that. Just tell me if you did it or not. What did you promise me before? You've learned to fight people now, haven't you?" Her tone was stern.
If she could, she wouldn't want to discipline her child at someone else's house, but this matter concerns Xie Qingyu.
The moment she found out, she called Jian Linchuan and asked him to come over.
"You hit Qingyu, you think you're so great? What reason did you have to push her? If this happened outside, it would be considered intentional assault!" Aunt Qi raised her voice.
"I didn't," Jian Linchuan whispered in defense.
However, Aunt Qi wouldn't listen to his explanation this time, and her words were also pointed, "You and Qingyu are engaged, and you will get married in the future. Don't be so foolish as to do something ridiculous for an outsider!"
Aunt Qi was actually saying this to Xie Qingli.
She had told Jian Linchuan this several times, but it was no use.
Jian Linchuan also likes Xie Qingli's type.
Xie Qingli knew that Aunt Qi didn't like her, so at this moment she shrank behind Jian Linchuan and didn't say a word.
Aunt Qi wouldn't give someone a hard time at someone else's house.
“Apologize to Qingyu,” Aunt Qi said directly to Jian Linchuan.
She came here today with only one purpose: to make Jian Linchuan apologize to Xie Qingyu.
"I'm sorry." Jian Linchuan apologized sincerely to Aunt Qi.
Although his expression was still defiant, he said, "It was my fault, I won't do it again next time."
Although Aunt Qi was still not satisfied, at least Jian Linchuan was willing to cooperate.
Aunt Qi looked at Xie Qingyu and said, "Don't be angry with him. He knows he was wrong. He was wrong in this matter. Aunt Qi bought you some jewelry. Wear any you like and change them up."
These pieces of jewelry are compensation.
Although Aunt Qi likes Xie Qingyu quite a bit, this is the best she can do when it comes to this kind of thing.
"You two are both grown up now, and you'll get married someday, so you must get along well," Aunt Qi advised Xie Qingyu.
"Mm." Xie Qingyu nodded as always.
Xie Qingyu had heard these words more than once. Each time, they seemed to be advising reconciliation, but in reality, only she was being bound.
The engagement was arranged when they were young, and everything was fine at first. But at some point, Jian Linchuan stopped paying attention to Xie Qingyu and started talking about Qingli all the time.
Because Xie Qingli hurt Xie Qingyu time and time again, his attitude changed from being okay at first to becoming impatient whenever he saw Xie Qingyu.
"Alright, I don't want to see this kind of thing happen again." Aunt Qi didn't stay there for long; she left after saying that.
After she left, Jian Linchuan seemed to regain his energy and looked at Xie Qingyu.
“I apologized only because my mother’s health isn’t very good, and I didn’t want to upset her. You shouldn’t think you’re entirely innocent either,” Jian Linchuan said.
"You were wrong to begin with. You pushed me without even asking what happened and caused me to get hurt," Xie Qingyu said, looking up at him.
Jian Linchuan probably didn't expect Xie Qingyu to dare to talk back.
“You’re making no sense!” He insisted that Xie Qingyu was just making excuses.
When he raised his voice, Xie Qingyu instinctively took two steps back.
This time, however, a pair of large hands supported her from behind, preventing her from retreating.
