Chapter 536
She Is From The Countryside
?
536 He is a true gentleman
Xuan Siyun came out of Xie Hengâs room and hesitated. In the end, she didnât go to Xie Xingchen to tell him that Xie Heng was here.
there were two reasons. one was that he was afraid of completely offending xie heng. Secondly, she was not sure if Xie Heng and Xie Xingchen really did not get along. After all, the outside world had said that the Xie familyâs brothers were respectful.
she was afraid of offending xie heng and xie xingchen at the same time.
As for Xie Heng, after Xuan Siyun left the room, the big-bellied President Liu saw that he didnât speak much and didnât dare to disturb him. The room was silent until Xie Heng suddenly called out a bid.
xie yu and president liu were very confused and wanted to ask if he really liked the screen.
On second thought, if he had really taken a fancy to that screen, why didnât he bid at the beginning, and why didnât he follow after suddenly bidding?
In the end, the two of them didnât dare to ask these questions.
She slowly realized that Xie Heng was helping Room 11.
âMaster, do you know the person in Room 11?â Xie Yu could not help but ask.
Xie Heng glanced at him but did not answer.
xie yu didnât dare to ask anymore.
The answer was obvious. It was indeed someone the family head knew, but the family head obviously didnât want to say more.
However, the master was the one who called out the price just now.
âmaster, second young master should be able to hear your voice. iâm afraid he already knows that youâre here. should we leave now or make some other arrangements?â
âno need.â
As Xie Heng spoke, he put down the teacup in his hand and got up to leave the room.
it didnât matter if xie xingchen recognized him, but if some people recognized him, he had to go and meet them to show that he was not guilty. He didnât want to cause unnecessary trouble for others because he suddenly opened his mouth to bid. It wasnât the first time that the fifth master of the Jiang family had been concerned about him.
even though his heart was filled with fear
forget it.
xie heng was not surprised to meet xie xingchen in room 11.
In the entire auction venue, there was not a single person whose status could surpass fifth Lord Jiangâs, so Xie Xingchen would not neglect the other party no matter what.
âbig brother,â
After almost hitting him, Xie Xingchen was stunned for a moment before he called out to him.
âyes.â Xie Heng nodded slightly.
âb-big brother, why didnât you let me know that youâre here? i donât know if the people below have neglected you.â Xie Xingchen had already regained his composure.
â it was a last minute idea, so i came late. i knew you were busy, so i didnât disturb you. â While Xie Heng was talking to Xie Xingchen, his gaze had already passed Xie Xingchen to look at the people in the room.
xie xingchen sensed something and turned back to follow his line of sight into the private room. at a certain moment, his eyes narrowed.
she smiled and said, â big brother, look at what youâre saying. iâm so happy that youâre here. how can i be disturbing you? â Big brother, did you come here to support me?â
Xie Heng looked at him and saw his bright smile.
there was no response.
xie xingchen did not get angry. he said happily, â âbig brother, if you donât say anything, iâll take it that you agree.â
â i was worried that big brother would think that iâm not doing my job properly after hearing about this. now it seems that big brother doesnât blame me. iâm very happy. â
He did look very happy.
xie heng glanced at his face and said, Iâve said before that youâre free to do anything within your power as long as it doesnât harm the familyâs interests. You donât have to get my permission for everything.
âBig brother, youâre too indulgent with me. Arenât you afraid that Iâll secretly become stronger and threaten your position as the head of the family?â
xie heng was unmoved and only looked at him lightly, â i donât need you to threaten me. the position of the head of the xie family should be given to the capable. if your ability is above mine, i donât mind giving you the position. â
Xie Xingchen was originally very happy, but when he heard his words and saw that he had said it without any fluctuation in emotion, as if he really did not care about the position of the family head at all, his expression changed with a whoosh.
it was frighteningly white.
âbig brother, i spoke without thinking, donât take it to heart. Youâre the head of the Xie family, I canât compare to you, and the others canât compare.â
âItâs done,â Xie Heng interrupted him. if you have anything to say, say it when you get back. Donât make a fool of yourself in front of outsiders.
She walked past him and headed towards the person in the private room.
xie xingchenâs eyes brightened at his words, and joy filled his eyes.
he didnât know which part of xie hengâs words had hit him.
âMiss Shi, fifth Lord Jiang.â Xie Heng walked over to greet him.
âthank you, patriarch.â Shi Yan smiled and nodded.
Jiang che also nodded at him, â âthank you, patriarch.â
His tone was no different from usual. It was warm, clear, and emotionless, but Shi Yan could hear a trace of unwillingness.
he raised his eyebrows slightly.
She thought that she probably knew why Jiang che seemed a little off when he was helping to bid in private room three. She had thought that he was from the capitalâs Jiang family.
It had to be said that fifth Lord Jiangâs jealousy was very unreasonable. She didnât even recognize Xie Hengâs voice, what was so good about this vinegar?
However, even though his jealousy was unreasonable, the Jiang familyâs fifth Lord was still jealous. Usually, jealous people needed to be coaxed, so she just had to coax them.
âThank you for your help during the auction just now, master Xie.â He smiled at Xie Heng.
the smile was polite, and the thanks were sincere.
However, it was precisely because of this that he seemed even more distant.
Xie Hengâs gaze stayed on Shi Yanâs face for about two seconds and said,âitâs nothing.â She then looked at Jiang che. just treat it as me doing fifth Lord Jiang a favor.
jiang che was convinced by xie hengâs tactfulness.
If it was him, if he liked someone, he would never be able to let go so freely like Xie Heng, and go to this extent to not cause trouble for the other party.
many people praised him for being a gentleman, but in fact, he was not as gentlemanly as xie heng.
From the first time he saw miss Shi, he had already been determined to win her over. at that time, he didnât care who she was or if she had a crush.
but even though he was convinced by xie heng in his heart, he still had to be jealous.
this was not something he could control.
If Xie Heng was a little more despicable, he might not have been so jealous.
Miss Shi was just too outstanding, even his love rival was of such high quality.
âFamily head Xie must be joking. Itâs fine if itâs others, but with your ability, why do you need to do me this favor? However, since you said youâre doing me a favor, Iâll accept it. I owe clan head Xie a favor for this matter.â
It was originally a small matter, but it was a bit excessive to turn it into owing a favor, especially when this favor was owed by the fifth Lord Jiang.
A favor from the fifth Lord Jiang was no ordinary favor.
the number of people in the world that fifth lord jiang owed a favor to could be counted on oneâs fingers. in other words, such a person had never appeared before.
This was indeed too much, but Xie Heng didnât say anything. He only looked at Jiang che and said, â âItâs not in vain for me to ask for a favor from the fifth Lord Jiang.â
even shi yan could tell that jiang che was doing this because he didnât want her to have anything to do with xie heng.
she didnât expose him and pretended that she didnât see anything.
since this was the way he liked it, there was no harm in her going along with it.
âMaster Xie, please take a seat.â shi yan said.
Jiang che chatted with the guest while she greeted the guest. It was almost like a perfect cooperation between a husband and wife when a guest came to visit.
âQianqian, thank you, but thereâs no need.â
Iâve only come because I heard that the two of you were here, so I came to meet you. After that, I wonât disturb you any longer. Xie Heng nodded at them and left the room.
when xie xingchen saw this, he hurriedly greeted the few of them and chased after xie heng.
âSister Yan, did Qianqian look at you when the second young master of the Xie family left?â jing hailan asked after the room had quieted down.
