Chapter 61 Little Ancestor, He Only Wants to Cause Trouble!
Chapter 61 Little Ancestor, He Only Wants to Cause Trouble!
Xie Zheng chuckled, staring at her younger sister's rosy cheeks and ears. She said to Li Xi, "My sister is just too quiet. Yun Ge, you must take her out to play more often in the future."
It was clear that Xie Zheng's words were not just polite formalities.
She was genuinely asking Li Xi for a favor.
"Okay, we have to take her out to play."
Behind them, Gu Zhen covered his watch with his sleeve and reminded Li Xi and the others, "Time is almost up, we should go into the examination room."
"Miss Xie Zheng, let's talk in detail this afternoon."
Li Xi grabbed Xie Jian's hoodie sleeve and walked towards Gu Zhen.
Xie Zheng watched this scene with satisfaction.
Noticing that someone was constantly glancing at her, Xie Zheng, fearing she would be recognized by fans, quickly got into her car.
After sending Xie Jian a message saying she would pick her up later, Xie Zheng drove to the entrance of a nearby bookstore.
Wearing a mask and sunglasses, she quickly walked into the bookstore and pulled out a popular science book on psychology from the psychology shelf.
After paying the bill, Xie Zheng sat in the car with the book and read it slowly.
I had just finished reading the preface written by the author when I received a WeChat message from Xie Jiaoyue: [Sister Zheng, where are you? Want to go shopping?]
Xie Jiaoyue: [M store has released a lot of new spring clothes, want to go shopping?]
Perhaps due to her age, Xie Zheng wasn't very interested in shopping, and she declined Xie Jiaoyue's offer: "I'm accompanying my sister to her driving test."
Xie Jiaoyue knew that Xie Zheng had a younger sister, but she didn't know much about it.
Xie Zheng always kept silent about her younger sister, Xie Jian.
Xie Jiaoyue's reply was quite interesting; she said, "[Is your sister also taking her driving test (Part 2)?]"
and also?
Xie Zheng asked: "Who else?"
Xie Jiaoyue said: "[Do you remember my adopted younger sister? She's the girl who always wanted to ask me for clothes and designer bags.]"
Xie Zheng knew that Xie Jiaoyue had an adopted daughter, who was said to be three years younger than Xie Jiaoyue.
His grades were mediocre, and he was also lazy and loved to eat.
According to what she knew, the girl was raised by the Xie family, but she didn't study hard and only got into an ordinary university.
After graduating from the History Department of Dongzhou University, he didn't look for a job and became a freeloader in the Xie family.
I don't go to sleep until 3 a.m. every night, and I don't get up until noon every morning.
Lazy and gluttonous, obsessed with trivial things and neglecting one's duties, hypocritical and materialistic.
This is the adopted daughter I'm talking about.
Xie Zheng had often heard Xie Jiaoyue complain about her adopted sister, and after hearing it so many times, she also developed a sense of resentment towards Xie Jiaoyue's adopted sister.
What kind of person is a young girl who doesn't work?
The Xie family raised her, but instead of being grateful, she willingly became a parasite.
Are you planning to have the Xie family support you for the rest of your life?
Upon learning that Xie Jiaoyue's lazy and gluttonous younger sister was also taking the exam today, Xie Zheng asked curiously, "What's your sister's name?"
Humans are naturally curious.
Xie Zheng also wanted to see what Xie Jiaoyue's lazy and good-for-nothing younger sister looked like.
Xie Jiaoyue was probably busy and didn't reply to Xie Zheng's messages.
Xie Zheng asked casually, and when Xie Jiaoyue didn't reply for a long time, she turned off her phone and continued reading.
About half an hour later, Xie Jian called her, "Sister, you can come pick me up now."
While fastening her seatbelt, Xie Zheng asked, "Are we through yet?"
"Yes, Li Xi and I have both passed."
Xie Zheng then said, "Then I'll treat you to lunch today. You can have Li Xi and Coach Gu come along too."
"Let me ask."
Xie Jian told them that her sister had invited them to dinner to celebrate passing her driving test, and asked, "Li Xi, Coach Gu, shall we go?"
Li Xi looked at Gu Zhen.
Knowing that Gu Zhen dislikes crowds, Li Xi considerately said, "You can choose not to go, because I have something to talk to Miss Xie Zheng about this afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhen said, "Then I won't go."
Why did he join in on the gathering of three girls?
Besides, he really isn't comfortable eating at the same table with strangers.
"Then you go back first."
Gu Zhen nodded, then, as if remembering something, said, "Come to my house for dinner tonight?"
Li Xi was somewhat surprised, "You're making it?"
"Uncle, do it."
Li Xi knew that Gu Zhen's family had hired an uncle to help with cleaning and cooking, but she had never met him.
"Okay."
After agreeing on the terms, Gu Zhen left.
A short while later, Xie Zheng arrived in a black Mercedes-Benz.
The restaurant Xie Zheng took them to was the Chinese restaurant in the Zhushan Scenic Area, which Gu Zhen had just brought Li Xi to the day before.
Xie Jian was visiting for the first time, and she silently observed the restaurant's environment without making a sound.
Li Xi then said to Xie Zheng, "Didn't they say you need to make an appointment here?"
“My fiancé is a VIP at this restaurant, and I made a reservation a week in advance.” Xie Zheng put her arm around Xie Jian’s shoulder and chuckled. “I was planning to bring Xiao Jian here for a nice meal anyway.”
Li Xi understood.
She hitched a ride with Xie Jian and got a free meal.
The manager on duty today is the same one as yesterday; his name tag reads "Manager Zhang".
Manager Zhang has a deep memory of Li Xi and can't forget the scene of her guzzling green tea.
"Miss Li?" Manager Zhang was pleasantly surprised. "What a coincidence, we meet again. So you and Miss Xie Zheng are friends?"
The manager had no idea where Li Xi came from; all he knew was that this Miss Li Xi was the sweetheart of their boss's good friend, Mr. Gu.
Xie Zheng was also somewhat surprised to hear this.
"Li Xi, have you been here before?" This restaurant is considered the pinnacle of high-end restaurants in Dongzhou. Even Xie Zheng only comes here to date Zhou Yaoguang on important holidays.
Li Xi smiled and explained, "Coach Gu and I had dinner here yesterday."
Xie Zheng smiled and said, "I see."
To have reached such a position in the entertainment industry, she must be a very shrewd and sophisticated woman. Xie Zheng knew her place; even though she was full of curiosity about Coach Gu's identity, she didn't press him for details.
"Manager Zhang, this is a problem. Same old location."
"I know, Miss Xie always comes to table number 8." Manager Zhang said with a smile as he led the three ladies to table number 8 on the observation deck.
He was shrewd and didn't reveal to the whole time that Zhou Yaoguang had come yesterday and brought a strange young lady with him.
Manager Zhang wasn't worried that Li Xi would let something slip.
He figured that Li Xi didn't know Xie Jiaoyue and Zhou Yaoguang at all, so naturally, he wouldn't expose them.
Manager Zhang remained calm and picked up the teapot to pour tea for them.
Li Xi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and commented frankly, "This tea isn't as good as yesterday's."
Manager Zhang's smile was almost impossible to keep up. "Miss Li Xi is joking. Yesterday, Mr. Gu ordered the Imperial Eighteen Dragon Wells."
“There is a difference between this and the other one.”
What's the difference?
Manager Zhang also didn't think that, being the same type of green tea, the Imperial Eighteen Trees Longjing was really better than ordinary green tea.
If I had to say, it would probably be the difference in money.
Li Xi put down her teacup and casually remarked, "When I came here for dinner yesterday, there were guests at this table on a date, including the famous actress Xie Jiaoyue."
"I never expected to be a guest at table number 8 today. It's all thanks to Miss Xie Zheng."
After saying that, Li Xi smiled at Manager Zhang and praised, "You truly deserve to be called the pinnacle of Dongzhou restaurants. Celebrities and tycoons are all regular customers of your restaurant."
Upon hearing this, Manager Zhang's heart pounded wildly.
Little ancestor, you're just stirring up trouble!
