Mr. Yan, wake up! Your wife isn't a delicate little flower.

night.

"Ring ring ring".

Cheng Xihe had just finished showering when his phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID: Yan Mingchuan.

Looking up at Mu Xiaoting, the latter said guiltily, "I received a call from my brother while you were taking a shower."

It seems my brother already knows about this. I thought you were the one who told me, so I just told you everything.

I'm sorry, sister-in-law.

"It's okay, go take a shower." Cheng Xihe dried her hair, picked up her phone, went to the balcony, and found a small chair to sit down.

He turned on speakerphone, placed the phone on the side table, and gazed at the scenery outside: "President Yan, is there something you need calling me at this hour?"

"Xihe, I've heard about what happened to you. Do you need my help?" Yan Mingchuan's voice was calm and steady, with a hint of concern.

Cheng Xihe chuckled lightly: "You think I'm a porcelain doll? Don't worry, I can handle this myself."

"I was just asking you. If you can handle it yourself, then I won't interfere," Yan Mingchuan said calmly.

Cheng Xihe added, "President Yan, don't worry. You may not trust others, but you can trust me."

"Yes, if you need..."

"It's alright, I can find out everything here."

Cheng Xihe chuckled lightly: "Xiaoting told you everything? I heard you got the information before she told you?"

"I will keep an eye on the people around you."

Yan Mingchuan paused for a moment, then said, "The Helan family has not had much contact with our family, but I have heard about how powerful they are."

I checked when He Lanyu approached your sister; it was your sister who initiated the contact, so there's no major problem.

However, He Lan Jing must have approached you first, and I also heard that you got into a fight with He Lan Yu.

Later, it was discovered that they had gone to their own hospital.

I bribed one of the nurses inside to ask, and when I heard it was for DNA testing, I had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

"Yes, your guess was right," Cheng Xihe said with a smile. "I am indeed not a child of the Qin family, but it doesn't matter."

Yan Mingchuan thought for a moment and said, "The Qin family has been having a tough time lately. If you have any plans to take action against the Qin family, you can consider doing so during this period."

If we don't take action now, we'll have to hold off. There will be a wave of funding later, even if it's just for show, it's still a sum of money.

"I understand what you mean."

Cheng Xihe chuckled and said, "Take it slow, Qin family, we'll deal with them gradually."

"If you want to bring down the Qin family, you should do it sooner rather than later," Yan Mingchuan simply reminded him.

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Xihe said, "I think the Qin family's value can be lowered a bit. What do you think?"

"It's possible, but the timing has to be right."

Yan Mingchuan added, still worried, "If you don't handle it well, it could become a burden for you, you know?"

"Yes, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Cheng Xihe's eyes turned cold.

The Qin family has been making trouble lately, and her relationship with Qin Jian has broken down.

Even if it has absolutely nothing to do with her, she will still trample the Qin family under her feet.

Avenge her mother!

Yan Mingchuan gave a few words of advice and chuckled, "I trust you completely. Just let me know if you need anything, and I'll definitely help you."

"President Yan is so generous to me, I'm starting to wonder if he likes me."

Cheng Xihe jokingly said something.

Yan Mingchuan paused, then chuckled softly, "No matter what, you're still my wife, aren't you?"

"Not yet, maybe half of it."

Cheng Xihe smiled and hung up the phone.

Seeing Cheng Xihe enter, Mu Xiaoting gave an awkward laugh: "Hehe, sister-in-law..."

"Alright, I wasn't planning on scolding you." Cheng Xihe tapped Mu Xiaoting's head. "You always have so many tricks up your sleeve."

Hehe~

Day two.

Qin Shengxia returned to the classroom.

She is rather quiet and reserved. At school, she rarely speaks unless a classmate asks her a question.

Upon seeing her arrive, He Lanyu raised her hand: "Here."

With such a handsome guy helping to save seats, people around couldn't help but look over curiously.

This is an open class; there are students from two or three classes here.

Qin Shengxia pursed her lips and walked over.

He Lanyu smiled slightly and said, "Xiaxia, come sit here."

"Wow, who's that handsome guy? I've never seen him before!"

"You don't know? That's the most handsome guy in Finance Class 1, his name is He Lanyu, he's incredibly good-looking."

"How are your grades? How did you get in?"

"That's a very good result! I heard the score was very high."

"Who's that pretty girl next to him? Is she his girlfriend?"

"I don't know."

The students in the next class were whispering among themselves, their eyes glancing towards Qin Shengxia and He Lanyu.

"She's definitely not my girlfriend, she's just someone in my class."

A student from the finance class spoke up: "It's really not that kind of relationship, we're just ordinary classmates."

"It looks so sweet!"

"I think so too!"

"Haha, do you often save seats for me? It seems like you've gotten used to it."

Qin Shengxia looked at He Lanyu, unsure of what to say.

She now knows that her sister and the Helan family are related, and she feels a little conflicted.

On the one hand, I felt that I should not confuse the two things.

On the one hand, she felt that He Lanyu had stolen her sister.

It's not a taste in my heart.

Seeing Qin Shengxia in a daze, He Lanyu immediately got up, took her textbook, and placed it on her seat: "What are you daydreaming about? Come and sit down."

"oh."

Qin Shengxia sat down in a daze and subconsciously handed the bag in her hand to He Lanyu: "Your breakfast."

"Thank you so much, Xiaxia. It was worth saving you a seat so early in the morning. Let me see what delicious food you made today."

He Lanyu opened the insulated lunchbox with a smile.

Inside were dumplings that Qin Shengxia had made herself; they were steamed and smelled delicious.

"Mmm, it's filled with shiitake mushrooms and pork, it's delicious." He Lanyu nodded in satisfaction and continued eating.

After eating half a box of dumplings, He Lanyu noticed that Qin Shengxia was sitting motionless in her seat, looking rather upset.

He put the box down and turned to Qin Shengxia: "Xiaxia, are you unhappy? What's wrong? Who made you angry?"

"you."

After Qin Shengxia finished speaking, she glanced at He Lanyu with a calm expression.

He Lanyu: ?

"How did I make you angry? Tell me." He Lanyu felt completely bewildered.

I really want to shout, "I'm innocent!"

"I can't explain it to you!"

Qin Shengxia also felt that she was angry for no reason, so she could only turn her head away from He Lanyu.

He Lanyu rested his chin on one hand, ate with chopsticks in the other, and stared intently at Qin Shengxia.

"It's so sweet, it's making me dizzy!"

"This is just too cute to ship."

"Romance? It's so captivating!"

Girls from other classes were whispering amongst themselves, clearly thrilled that they had found a perfect couple.

A girl from the Finance Class 1 sitting in front of them said, "What's so great about this? Are you guys crazy?!"

"Hey, look at how jealous you are! You wouldn't happen to have a crush on He Lanyu, would you?"

"I think that's probably it; he got angry out of embarrassment."

"Even if they weren't together, it would still be a great ship for them."

The girl angrily retorted, "What do you know! This is...this is spreading rumors!"

"what?"

The girls exchanged glances, then rolled their eyes: "I'm speechless. People with heart conditions see everything as dirty."

"Yeah, we're not sitting here anymore, there's another row over there, really."

The girls ignored her and turned away.

Qin Shengxia remained silent.

Seeing this, He Lanyu was truly puzzled: "What exactly are you angry about, Xiaxia? Tell me."

"Well, it's nothing, it's just that I..."

After a long pause, Qin Shengxia finally managed to say, "My sister told me everything. She's not my biological sister, and you..."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I am your sister's biological brother."

He Lanyu smiled and looked at Qin Shengxia: "So that's why you're angry. There's nothing to be angry about."

"Haven't she always been your sister?"

"It feels different," Qin Shengxia muttered in disappointment.

If her sister weren't her own sister, then her only family would be her father, but her father didn't like her.

The more I think about it, the more pathetic I feel.

He Lanyu tidied up the lunchbox and put it aside before comforting Xiaxia, "Xiaxia, you don't need to be sad about these things."

No matter how you look up to her, Xihe is still your older sister.

"I know, I'm just feeling uncomfortable. I know it's wrong of me to take my anger out on you, but I couldn't control myself. I'm sorry."

Qin Shengxia apologized to He Lanyu in a low voice.

"Pfft."

He Lanyu laughed out loud, which was rather unkind.

She glared at him, looking somewhat aggrieved. "What are you laughing at? Are you making fun of me?"

"I'm not making fun of you, I just think Xiaxia is very cute for speaking so frankly," He Lanyu praised.

Qin Shengxia's ears turned red.

"You, you mustn't do this!"

He Lanyu chuckled and sat up straight: "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore, class is about to start."

He took a sip of the soy milk Qin Shengxia had brought and closed his eyes contentedly.

Xiaxia is still the most considerate.

Even when she's angry, she still prepares breakfast for herself and brings soy milk, making sure she has everything.

After class, Qin Shengxia said in a low voice, "You can't come to my place for dinner today, okay?"

"Of course you can. You're the master, you can do whatever you want." He Lanyu showed no anger and remained calm.

Seeing this, Qin Shengxia felt even more guilty.

I realized I shouldn't have done that.

He gets angry for no reason.

He Lanyu patted her shoulder: "Xiaxia, don't worry about these things. Don't worry, it will all pass sooner or later."

Besides, the matter of your sister coming back to our family hasn't been finalized yet; we still need to discuss it further. You don't need to worry so much.

"Yes, I know."

Qin Shengxia nodded: "I'll make you something delicious tomorrow to make it up to you. I need to talk to my sister about it again today."

"By the way, what kind of family is the Helan family?" Qin Shengxia asked Helan Yu curiously.

He Lanyu glanced around.

After everyone had mostly left, he said to her, "Actually, the Helan family is quite a large family..."

Having learned some things from He Lanyu, Qin Shengxia nodded:

"Thank you for not being angry, and for being willing to tell me all this."

"I have nothing to be angry about. On the contrary, it's my fault for not taking good care of your little emotions." He Lanyu said gently.

This left Qin Shengxia speechless.

After school in the afternoon, Cheng Xihe and the others took a big watermelon to Qin Shengxia's place.

Huo Ying said with a smile, "It feels like it's been a long time since I've been there, I'm craving it."

"Let me tell you, Xiaxia's cooking is so delicious! I feel like her cooking skills have improved a lot lately!" Mu Xiaoting said happily.

Huo Ying smiled and said, "Really? I'm so looking forward to it! I want to go eat right now, let's go!"

Spending more time with them made Huo Ying feel much more alive than before.

A group of people entered the house laughing.

Qin Shengxia had already prepared a lot of food: "You've come at the perfect time. The food is ready, let's eat quickly."

"good!"

After the group finished eating and chatting, Nanxi and the others stood up and said, "Let's go back."

Qin Shengxia pursed her lips, wanting to call out to Cheng Xihe, but then stopped.

"You guys go back first."

Seeing Qin Shengxia's expression, Cheng Xihe smiled and said.

Nanxi: "Hmm?"

"It's alright, Xiaxia and I will talk for a bit. You guys go back first." Cheng Xihe gestured with his chin towards Nan Xi and the others, indicating that they should leave.

Nan Xi nodded and led Mu Xiaoting and Huo Ying away first.

After everyone left, Qin Shengxia and Cheng Xihe sat together on the sofa.

Qin Shengxia was the first to hug Cheng Xihe's arm and rest her head on her shoulder:

"Sister, I think the Helan family members are all very nice, and the family seems to be a very large family."

"Won't you be mistreated when you go back?"

Qin Shengxia spoke haltingly, her bright, watery eyes fixed on Cheng Xihe.

Cheng Xihe smiled and said, "Don't worry, I, your sister, will never let anyone suffer."

"Um."

He patted Qin Shengxia's head and said, "I know you're not my biological sister, but what does it matter?"

In short, as long as I'm here, I'll protect you.

As for this matter now, I haven't settled accounts with the Qin family yet, and I don't plan to acknowledge my ancestors so soon.

The Qin family hasn't fallen yet.

A father who rose to power through women and then turns around and wrongs them will not have an easy time.

She wants to take over the entire Qin family.

"Sister, I am of the Qin family bloodline. I will find a way to take over the Qin family business so that they can't find any fault with it."

Qin Shengxia smiled and said, "I will definitely study hard."

I've recently started researching the Qin family's company's territory and weaknesses. Give me some time, and I can finish.

"I believe in you, Xiaxia!"

Cheng Xihe patted Qin Shengxia's shoulder, his eyes slightly cold.

The Qin family must fall!
