Chapter 21: Yuanyuan is Still Asleep

“No!” Tu Yuan shook her head. “Brother Xie, I’m not that kind of person.”

Not that kind of person?

A handsome face can’t attract her?

She likes handsome faces and interesting souls?

His soul is pretty boring.

The whole Xie family is pretty boring.

A rigid, traditional Chinese family, where they don’t speak while eating or sleep, dull and monotonous.

So he and his sister moved out early.

But influenced by their upbringing, he became emotionally reserved, cold to others, and couldn’t change overnight.

His personality was a stark contrast to Tu Yuan’s.

She’s lively and active, sweet and cute, and her life is full of color.

His life is work, exercise, eating, sleeping, and socializing, very mechanical.

After arriving home, Aunt Wang saw Tu Yuan’s red eyes and the bloodstains on her green dress. “Miss Tu, what happened to you?”

“Aunt Wang, I’m fine.”

Tu Yuan was pulled, and she looked at Xie Yinhe for help.

Brother!

Help!

“Aunt Wang, it’s late, she needs to rest.”

“It’s good that you’re fine, it’s good that you’re fine.” Aunt Wang reluctantly let go of Tu Yuan.

It didn’t look like she was fine.

There was still blood on her!

Her eyes and nose were red, she clearly had been crying.

The two went upstairs together.

The dress she bought that night was perfect for Tu Yuan. The green color on her was like a tender bud in early spring, delicate and beautiful, graceful and elegant.

On the second floor, Xie Yinhe stopped her. “Yuanyuan, don’t touch that dress after you take it off, keep it as evidence, there are Yang Zhengbo’s fingerprints on it.”

“Okay.”

Tu Yuan turned around, feeling like crying.

Nine thousand yuan!!

Nine thousand!

Yang Zhengbo, you’re guilty as sin!

The next day.

Xie Yinhe was waiting for Tu Yuan to wake up downstairs.

It was past breakfast time, and Tu Yuan was still quiet.

They had agreed to go to the company together.

Aunt Wang stood by the sofa. “Young Master, should I go up and call her?”

“It’s fine, let her sleep.”

She was frightened last night, a good night’s sleep would help Tu Yuan feel better.

After Aunt Wang left, Xie Yinhe answered the phone. “Xie Yinhe, where are you, why haven’t you arrived yet?”

“Yuanyuan is still sleeping.”

“You, this, you… what are you saying, it sounds like you two are sleeping together, luckily I believe in your character, your noble and aloof persona won’t fall!” Tu Yue realized and questioned him, “My sister is sleeping, why aren’t you at the company?”

“She said she wanted to come together.” Xie Yinhe calmly looked at the quarterly financial report on the tablet. “Yang Zhengbo said he wants to settle it privately.”

He was still arrogant last night, but now he’s backing down.

“Settle it privately, what a joke, that kind of person, he needs to be locked up, if he’s not locked up, he’ll harm others.” Tu Yue also believed that Tu Yuan wouldn’t choose to settle it privately.

He still had some confidence in his sister.

“Hmm.”

Xie Yinhe heard footsteps, looked up, and saw Tu Yuan wearing a simple white T-shirt, denim shorts, and a bun, looking fresh and simple, like a new college student.

Tu Yuan was only 21 years old, vibrant and lively, in the prime of her youth.

She was holding a bag, which should contain the green dress from last night.

“She’s awake.”

Xie Yinhe told Tu Yue on the other end of the phone and hung up.

“Brother Xie, good morning.”

“It’s 9:30.” Xie Yinhe reminded her.

Tu Yuan smiled awkwardly.

Xie Yinhe was so cold.

┭┮﹏┭┮

Last night when she was in trouble, he wasn’t like that.

She could still remember Xie Yinhe’s broad, warm chest last night, his warm palm gently stroking her back through the thin fabric of the dress, his hot breath close at hand, like a caring big brother wiping her tears in the car.

Now he’s coldly watching her come downstairs and getting up to leave.

When they went out, Aunt Wang brought breakfast to the car.

Tu Yuan smiled sweetly, seemingly unaffected by last night’s events. “Thank you, Aunt Wang.”

Xie Yinhe felt relieved.

On the way to the company, Tu Yuan ate bread and drank milk, Xie Yinhe closed his eyes and rested.

Tu Yuan had been to their own company before, and had also passed by Xie’s Group.

The Xie family owned four buildings in this area.

Thinking of their own company, Tu Yuan wiped away a tear.

She couldn’t imagine how much money her brother had lost, selling the company and the villa to pay off the debt.

It was a family disgrace!

Tu Yuan followed Xie Yinhe, all the way in, enjoying the attention of everyone.

And those people respectfully saying “Mr. Xie.”

Xie Yinhe just nodded slightly in response.

He wasn’t cold either.

A cold and aloof person wouldn’t respond to the greetings of company employees.

Upon reaching the company, Xie Yinhe handed the dress to Si Feng, it was evidence.

Si Feng took the bag. “Miss Tu, don’t worry, our company has the best lawyers, we won’t let that guy escape justice.”

“Thank you.”

The two walked into the meeting room, Tu Yue rushed in front of Tu Yuan, examining her from top to bottom, circling her twice, finally stopping his gaze at her snow-white neck.

The red marks on her neck hadn’t faded.

“Sister~”

Tu Yuan took a step back, touching her neck. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

“Ah, ah, ah! I’m going to kill that bastard!!”

“I hold you in my mouth for fear of melting, hold you in my hands for fear of dropping, the family went bankrupt, the villa was seized by the bank, I put my face on the line, I have to find you a comfortable place to live, I wouldn’t dare hurt a single hair on your head, that Yang Zhengbo!!!”

Tu Yue was murderous.

Luckily they were in the meeting room, if they were in the kitchen, Tu Yue would have rushed out with a cleaver.

Tu Yue was like a puffed-up lion, jumping up and down in the meeting room.

They were both 27 years old, but compared to him, Xie Yinhe was so steady!

But his brother was like this because he was worried about her.

Tu Yuan gently patted his back. “Calm down, I stabbed him hard with my hairpin, I’m not the naive and innocent little white rabbit I used to be, I’m a woman with blood on my hands now!”

Tu Yue’s mouth twitched. “Sister, don’t be abstract.”

A hint of a smile appeared in Xie Yinhe’s cold eyes, Yuanyuan was so cute.

“I’m telling the truth.” Tu Yuan put down her clenched fist.

Her momentum was overwhelmed by her brother.

“I’m going to see Yang Zhengbo now, you don’t need to worry about this, sister.”

Tu Yue rushed out angrily.

“Won’t my brother go crazy?” Tu Yuan was a little worried.

“Let Si Feng follow him.”

“Thank you.”

Tu Yuan followed Xie Yinhe out, on the way they passed the meeting room, Xie Yinhe’s secretary’s office, there were still quite a few people inside.

And there were pretty girls.

Tu Yuan used to imagine herself becoming a powerful business elite, enthusiastically studying business management.

But as soon as she graduated, the company went bankrupt.

She couldn’t manage anything.

Tu Yuan bumped into Xie Yinhe’s back. “Ouch!”

She rubbed her forehead, looked up. “Brother Xie, why did you suddenly stop?”

“I was waiting for you.”

She was looking around, and accidentally stopped in place, feeling that the work environment here was really good.

Tu Yuan showed a flattering smile: “Brother Xie, is your company hiring?”
