Chapter 11 Viper
Xu Xiwan smiled apologetically, "Excuse me, sir...?"
The young man smiled, "Second sister is so forgetful, she doesn't even recognize third brother."
Xu Xiwan remembered that this young man was Xu Xingyan.
Xu Xingyan is the son of the third master of the Xu family. It is not an exaggeration to call Xu Xi late as the second sister. It is rumored that he was weak and sick since he was a child, and he didn't often show up in front of people. Today it is strange that he participated in this kind of banquet.
Xu Xiwan only met Xu Xingyan once when he was a teenager. At that time, Xu Xingyan was only 13 years old and a child. Now he is an adult. No wonder Xu Xiwan can't recognize him.
Since Xu Xi thought about it later, out of courtesy, she had to ask her, the cheap third brother, to say hello, and said with a smile: "So it's the third brother, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are getting more and more beautiful, I almost can't recognize you."
"Second Sister can't recognize me, but I can recognize Second Sister." Xu Xingyan stepped forward, touched the glass in Xu Xiwan's hand with his wine glass. Xiwan signaled.
Xu Xiwan smiled slightly, took a sip, and said, "Third brother is good at drinking, I can't match it."
Xu Xingyan also smiled, "It's okay, third sister, you can do whatever you want."
Xu Xiwan wasn't sure what Xu Xingyan's purpose was to strike up a conversation with him, so he socialized quietly for a while. Although Xu Xingyan was polite, Xu Xiwan saw a glint of evil in his eyes. How many good people can come out of this big dye vat of the Xu family?Xu Xiwan didn't want to get entangled with Xu Xingyan, so he found an excuse to leave, but Xu Xingyan said: "Second sister, instead of making friends with outsiders, why don't you join hands with me?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiwan finally became a little interested in him. He casually shook the goblet in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly to look at him.
Xu Xingyan smiled calmly, and pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, "There are too many people here, and the air is not good. I have been weak since I was a child, and I can't bear such noise. Can my second sister accompany me to the garden to get some fresh air?"
Xu Xiwan's eyes flickered, he thought for two seconds, and readily agreed.
The garden didn't have the pleasant temperature in the banquet hall anymore. The spring was chilly, and Xu Xiwan's evening dress was a tube top style with bare arms and back. Thanks to her good concentration, her skin was tingling from the cold, but she still looked like a normal person.
Xu Xingyan is not very old, but his manner is quite gentlemanly. As soon as he left the banquet hall, he took off his suit jacket and put it on Xu Xiwan's shoulders. It's just that he was frail since he was a child, and he was not tall like Xu Xing'an. As tall as Xu Xiwan, only about 1.7 meters [-], Xu Xiwan wore high heels again, Xu Xingyan gave Xu Xiwan a coat, and had to tiptoe a little bit, thanks to his weak and gentle temperament, doing this action relieved a little bit of embarrassment.
Xu Xiwan gathered the suit on his shoulders. Although he felt awkward, he still accepted the kindness of his third brother and thanked him.
The two walked for a while, and when they reached a secluded pavilion with few people, Xu Xingyan picked a stone bench and sat down, clenched his right hand into a fist, covered his mouth and coughed lightly, his eyes drifted toward Xu Xiwan.
Xu Xiwan has always been very patient with business affairs. Even though the so-called third younger brother's eyes were a little offensive, she was not in a hurry or annoyed, she stood calmly with her arms around her chest, and looked at Xu Xingyan.Xu Xiwan's eyes are particularly beautiful, with the tails of the eyes upturned, and the shimmering in the eyes, especially at night, against the bright starry sky, giving people an extremely affectionate illusion.
After all, the second young master of the Xu family was young, and his concentration was not strong enough. He was so obsessed with watching, he murmured "Xi Wan", the voice was very soft, but it was magnified several times in the silent gazebo. He himself felt out of composure after speaking, Can't help but be taken aback.
A sarcastic smile flashed across Xu Xiwan's heart, but the tenderness on his face remained unchanged, "You and I are blood brothers, and there are no outsiders here, so third brother may as well speak up if he has something to say."
"Second sister is straightforward." Xu Xingyan smiled loudly, covering up his previous embarrassment, and said, "I know what Second Sister wants."
Xu Xiwan looked sideways at him, noncommittal.
Xu Xingyan saw that she didn't pick up the quarrel, and continued: "Unfortunately, there is another Xu Xing'an above you and me. Although the elder brother is stupid, he is the eldest son. He has managed the Xu family's property well over the years. The approval of Xu's parents is obvious to all. With the strength of the second sister alone, if I want to shake his position, I'm afraid it will be difficult to ascend to the blue sky."
Xu Xi said in the evening: "I went back to China just to take advantage of the Xu family's protection and have a living. I don't understand what the third brother means by the eldest son and status."
"Second sister is a smart person. You should know that it is a fool's dream to break through a century-old family like the Xu family from the outside, but..." Xu Xingyan pondered for a while, and chuckled, "But inside the Xu family, various forces are intertwined, and they are fighting against each other. According to my own wishful thinking, there are many things that can be manipulated here than what Second Sister saw outside Xu's house."
Xu Xiwan thought to himself, it seems that the second young master of the Xu family, who is sick in rumors, is not as deaf to what is going on outside the window as the outside world rumors, and only cares about flowers and plants, leisurely and elegant.
"It seems that the third brother has already planned it, why ask me to share more?"
Xu Xingyan smiled quietly and elegantly, "Everyone says that Second Young Master Xu is a free-spirited son of a wild crane. Second sister, in the forest of the Xu family, I am a rabbit with no strength to restrain a chicken. How dare a rabbit jump out and fight with you?" What about tiger fights?"
Xu Xiwan sneered secretly, everyone said that Xu Xingyan was a harmless rabbit, but no one would have expected him to be a poisonous snake hiding in the dark.
"Little brother knows the concerns of the second sister." Xu Xingyan coughed and said, "Second sister is worried. I have been in the Xu family for many years and have a deep foundation. You and I will join hands to overthrow the eldest brother. When the time comes, the younger brother will turn his face and deny anyone. How can you do that?" It’s not like fetching water from a bamboo basket in vain.”
Xu Xi said in the evening: "Since you know, why are you still looking for me?"
"Second Sister, believe it or not, my ambition is not in the Xu family." Xu Xing said in a very gentle tone, "Everything in the Xu family belongs to Second Sister, I want something else."
Xu Xiwan asked, "What do you want?"
At this time, she seemed to be aroused by Xu Xingyan's curiosity, and she subconsciously leaned forward a little, so that slender and white neck became more and more distinct in the night, which was almost eye-catching.
Xu Xingyan stared at her for a moment, then said, "Second Sister will know when the time comes."
It doesn't need to be time, Xu Xiwan has already guessed it pretty well by now.
The two sat in the gazebo for a while, Xu Xingyan suddenly coughed violently while clutching his chest, Xu Xiwan said coldly: "The dew is heavy late at night, third brother is not in good health, let's go back."
"What the second sister said is true." Xu Xingyan stood up while coughing, and walked back to the banquet hall slowly with Xu Xiwan.
At the door, Xu Xiwan returned the suit jacket he was wearing to Xu Xingyan, and gave him a meaningful look, "Third brother, take care of yourself."
Xu Xingyan's face was pale, and he smiled weakly, "Thank you, Second Sister, for your concern." He only wore a handmade white shirt, with a suit draped between his elbows, and he looked very frail and well-behaved.
It was meaningless for Xu Xi to stay any longer, so he found a reason and left first.
After she left, Xu Xingyan also excused himself from being unwell, and went back to his other courtyard, turned to a dark place, picked up the suit that was draped over his elbow, put it on the tip of his nose, and took a deep sniff.
Xu Xiwan drove here by herself. She returned to her car, sat in the driver's cab, took off her high heels, and drove the car out of the boundary of Xu's mansion, before taking a deep breath and letting it out heavily.
Then, her brows furrowed tightly.
It's disgusting.
Although Xu Xiwan is not the well-known lady of the Xu family, after all, she has stayed in that deep house for a few days, and Xu Xiwan has also heard a lot of dirty things in the whispers of the servants. Who would have thought that one day, such dirty things would be happened to me.
Thinking of Xu Xingyan's dignified scholarly appearance, Xu Xiwan sneered.After all, it is a young man, even if the Xu family is a forest where the weak prey on the strong, he has been docile under the protection of the strong for too long, without experience, he is so naive.
Xu Xiwan is born with a cold-blooded temperament, the most tolerant person, she has never been unable to get what she wants, since there is a poisonous snake delivered to her door, it is not in vain, let alone what Xu Xingyan said is right, if you want It is of course much easier to break through the Xu family from the inside.
Intrigue all night is more exhausting than negotiating with customers. After Xu Xi parked the car late, he didn't even want to wear high heels anymore. He carried them in his hands and went upstairs barefoot. He opened the door and saw the soft lights in the room , Hearing Lin Xing's childish and soft "Wan Wan, you're back", she felt better and smiled, "Is Xiao Xing good at home?"
"Good." Lin Xing nodded, leaned closer to Xu Xiwan, his delicate nose twitched, "Wanwan, have you been drinking?"
"Only had one drink."
Lin Xing was shocked, "No, no, you can drive late at night, and you can't drink!"
"You know that." Xu Xiwan agreed with a smile, "Okay, I won't drink while driving in the future, okay?"
"Ok!"
Xu Xiwan patted her head.
Lin Xing's hair was thin and soft, and it felt as smooth as silk in his hand, and it felt so good that Xu Xiwan was almost reluctant to take it off.What company, what Xu family, these messy troubles were all left behind by her at the moment.
This year has passed so smoothly. On the seventh day of the lunar new year, almost everyone started to devote themselves to busy work. Xue Qushuang returned to Jinling from his hometown, and brought Xu Xiwan and Lin Xing some special products, as well as a large box. Toys bought for Lin Xing, by the way, asked Xu Xiwan about the news of the Xu family.
"Xiao Xing, take the toys and go back to the room to play." Xu Xi said in the evening.
So Lin Xing carried the model airplane box that Xue Qushuang bought, bouncing back to his room and slowly fighting.
Only then did Xu Xiwan briefly describe to Xue Qushuang Xu Xingyan's desire to cooperate with him. Of course, the part that made her very unhappy was omitted.
"I've also heard about Xu Xingyan. It is said that he only loves poetry, calligraphy and painting, and never cares about the mundane things outside the Xu family. Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that there are a lot of small tricks behind the scenes." Xue Qushuang said, "Senior sister, how about you?" how to think?"
Xu Xiwan chuckled disdainfully, "If you don't eat the lunch delivered to your door, you won't eat it for nothing."
"Sister, be careful, it seems that Xu Xingyan is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
Xu Xi said in the evening: "Don't worry."
Xue Qushuang thought about it too, her senior sister was simply a natural and exquisite figure, Xu Xingyan's little tricks might not be enough in front of her.
The young man smiled, "Second sister is so forgetful, she doesn't even recognize third brother."
Xu Xiwan remembered that this young man was Xu Xingyan.
Xu Xingyan is the son of the third master of the Xu family. It is not an exaggeration to call Xu Xi late as the second sister.
