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

After soaking for twenty minutes, my phone rang.

Upon seeing that the caller ID was unknown, Cheng Xihe's expression turned serious.

This is her private number. Apart from those who know it, no one else should be able to call her. How could it be an unknown number?

Could it be another case of a venomous snake?

Cheng Xihe hesitated for a moment and did not answer the call.

A short while later, the phone rang again.

It's the same number as before.

Cheng Xihe got up, put on a bath towel, and sat down by the pool.

She stared at the number for a while before finally answering.

"drop."

"Hello, Xihe?"

He Lanjing's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

Cheng Xihe remained expressionless: "How did you know my phone number?"

"I got this number from Xiaoting. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you beforehand. I need to talk to you urgently."

He Lanjing was gentle and mild-mannered, so Cheng Xihe couldn't afford to lose his temper.

She asked casually, "What's so important?"

Actually, she knew she must be a child of the Helan family without needing to be retested.

If the call is about this, then it's certainly possible.

"After thorough examination, you are indeed a child of the Helan family. Your parents want to meet you," Helan Jing said softly.

Cheng Xihe shook his head: "You know I'm busy right now."

"I heard you went abroad. When are you coming back? We can meet on the last day of the National Day holiday."

He Lanjing asked patiently, keeping a close eye on Cheng Xihe's time.

Beside her, a middle-aged couple looked at Helan Jing anxiously, wishing they could speak up for her.

He Lanyu restrained the two, patted them on the back, and whispered, "I'll handle it, don't worry."

"Let me check the time, I really don't have time right now."

Cheng Xihe thought for a moment and then said, "Let's meet on the sixth day then. I should be heading back by then."

Cheng Xihe was unsure of the specifics.

That's just how it's being said for now.

"If my schedule changes, I will let you know in advance." Cheng Xihe didn't seem excited at all about seeing her biological parents.

He Lanjing also felt that Cheng Xihe's performance was too calm.

"Xihe, are you unhappy because you feel abandoned by your parents?" Helan Jing asked hesitantly.

If it's because of this, she needs to find a way to explain to her parents that it's not actually like that.

They didn't do it on purpose.

Cheng Xihe chuckled lightly: "Don't worry, it's not because of that. I'm just busy right now."

"I'll talk to you properly when I get back, okay?" Cheng Xihe's tone was unusually gentle.

He Lanjing nodded helplessly: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say. Xihe, be careful abroad."

"it is good."

The two chatted briefly before He Lanjing hung up the phone.

"Oh dear, Xiaojing, how are you?"

"Xihe, is that right? What if she doesn't want to talk to us?"

"Does she mean she doesn't want to talk to us?"

"This is something Mom and Dad didn't do well, we will make it up to her."

The couple argued back and forth, giving everyone a headache.

He Lanjing said softly, "It's not that I don't want to talk to you, she's abroad right now, she's been traveling all day and wants to rest."

"She can hear our voices too," Lady Helan said anxiously, wiping away her tears.

He Lanjing gave He Lanyu a wink.

Pressing down on Madam Helan's shoulder, Helan Yu chuckled and said, "Mom, do you only have eyes for my sister now, and not for us?"

"Please sit down first. Don't worry, there's no rush."

"Yes, Mother, we're all studying at the same school, we'll see each other sooner or later," He Lanjing chimed in.

He Lanzhen sat down and pulled his wife along, saying, "Wife, sit down first, don't worry."

"Hmm." Lady Helan sat down next to Helan Zhen, looking up at him. "Husband, am I being too anxious?"

Helan Zhen comforted her, "It really doesn't matter if it's just a little bit of time. We also need to get some rest so we can see Xihe in the best possible condition."

"I heard that Xihe is having a really tough time. That damned Qin Jian doesn't treat her like a human being at all."

When my baby was so young, they abandoned him in the countryside without even giving him any money.

"The entire Qin family is now under Zhang Zhiyue's control!"

Lady Helan was furious, her face full of displeasure.

If the Qin family treats her daughter well, the Helan family is willing to offer a considerable reward.

Now that things are like this, she really needs to think about it.

He Lanzhen comforted her, "Alright, wife, don't be angry. Let's rest first."

"Um."

He Lanjing stood up: "I'll go upstairs first."

"Me too."

The siblings ran away one after the other.

Not long after, in Helan Jing's room, Helan Yu sat at the desk: "Now it's confirmed that she is my sister. It's such a strange feeling."

"What are you wondering about?"

He Lanjing glanced at him and suddenly laughed: "You like Qin Shengxia, don't you?"

I was supposed to call her "older sister," but now she's my own little sister. It's really not something I'm used to.

He Lanyu didn't deny it, nodding and saying, "I like her. She's very interesting, and she cooks very well."

"That's all? I don't believe it."

He Lan Jing glanced at He Lan Yu: "Besides, if you suddenly develop a liking for Qin Shengxia, Xi He will beat you up."

Cheng Xihe is very protective of his own and will not let him off the hook.

He Lanyu chuckled softly and said, "I know, it wasn't just a passing fancy, I just really like it."

"Let's get to know each other a bit more. Don't let this girl down."

He Lan Jing offered a few words of advice, then turned a cold gaze to the computer: "I heard that the Qin family sold Xihe because they ran out of money?"

"According to the information I have received, the Qin family and the Yan family made a deal. The Yan family invested in the Qin family, and Xihe married Yan Mingchuan to bring him joy."

He Lanyu sent the information she had received to He Lanjing.

He Lanjing's face instantly turned cold: "This project is obviously going to lose money. Is the Qin family out of their minds?"

And the Yan family, didn't they give any warning at all?

"The Yan family only invests money; the Qin family makes the decisions themselves. This project is basically a loss-making venture."

He Lanyu frowned: "Even I can see that. Qin Jian has been in the business world for so many years, how could he not understand?"

"Following the Zhang family's example."

He Lanjing saw right through her words and scoffed, "They're short of money but won't let the Zhang family give them any; instead, they're selling their daughter."

The Qin family is nothing special, disgusting.

Previously, she only had a general idea of ​​some things, but now she found so many unreasonable things. He Lanjing had a stern face.

He Lanyu comforted her, "Alright, don't be angry. We'll ask Xihe for her opinion when she gets back."

"If Xihe doesn't want to maintain her engagement with Yan Mingchuan, we can break the contract, and we'll pay the compensation," Helan Jing said coldly.

He Lanyu sighed: "No wonder Mu Xiaoting calls Xihe 'Sister-in-law,' it turns out it's because of this."

"If I remember correctly, this Mu Xiaoting is also related to the Yan family." He Lanjing casually searched on the web.

He Lanyu said, "Yes, there is a connection. Mu Xiaoting calls Yan Mingchuan 'brother,' so they must be cousins."

"I don't think Xihe is unwilling, but I can't say for sure. Let's ask her again when she gets back."

He Lanjing rubbed her temples and waved to He Lanyu, "Alright, you can go out now. I'm going to rest for a bit."

"You should rest. I'm leaving now."

He Lanyu closed the door and returned to her own room.

Here.

Cheng Xihe hung up the phone, got up to take a shower, changed into her pajamas, and lay down on the bed.

This room service allows you to order food to be delivered to your room.

If you get hungry later, you can order food directly by phone.

She stayed in the presidential suite, which had 24-hour service and was considered one of the most luxurious hotels in Switzerland.

Lying in bed, Cheng Xihe turned on a TV show and quickly fell asleep while watching it...
