Chapter 3 Eating
Seeing that no one answered, Cai Yanxue put on her skirt and looked at it on the mirror in the wardrobe. She lay on the bed with satisfaction, but the smile on her face became lighter and shallower until it changed into an unfathomable expression.
Not long after, Chen Chuying came back, "Yan Xue, it's time to go downstairs to have a meal."
"Okay." Cai Yanxue got up from the bed, regained her simple and harmless expression, and walked around the place, asking expectantly, "Sister, look, how is the dress I changed?"
Chen Chuying frowned slightly, but said, "It looks great, go down quickly, don't let them wait too long."
Cai Yanxue pulled Chen Chuying's men downstairs. The Zhuo family had already finished seating, and they were waiting for the two of them.
Cai Yanxue sat next to Zhuo Qiuyuan. Chen Chuying's face was tense. The position was hers, but at this time she seemed stingy and had to turn her eyes to Zhuo Qiuyuan, hoping that he could speak.
Before Zhuo Qiuyuan could make a sound, Zhuo Feiyun on the opposite side screamed, "Sister Chu Ying, why did you wear my clothes for her? This skirt was specially customized by my father. I can't bear to wear it, but you actually wear it for her."
Chen Chuying explained, "I didn't give this to her. I prepared a white set for her. She insisted on wearing red without wearing it. I went out for a while and she put the clothes on her body. If I waited for her to change it, I washed it myself before returning it to you."
Zhuo Feiyun stared at her viciously, angry but dared not show it too obvious, "I don't want the things she has worn. Why do I have to let her eat at the same dining table with us? Such people should eat with those lowly servants, sit opposite me, making me have no appetite."
Zhuo Shengheng rebuked, "How come you talk? The Cai family has just had an accident. Forget it, if you don't comfort me, why are you still taking advantage of this? Isn't it just a skirt? There are so many skirts in your closet that you can't even fit. What's wrong with borrowing her to wear?"
Zhuo Feiyun's eyes were red with grievance, "Why should I wear a skirt that I can't bear to wear?"
Zhuo Qiusheng patted her on the shoulder, "Feiyun, I think it's not good for you to do this. You just need to take care of it when something happened at Yan Xue's family."
"I will take care of her, who will take care of me? You were not like this before, why did she always favor her as soon as she came? I am still the eldest lady of the Zhuo family." Zhuo Feiyun pointed at Cai Yanxue, hoping to drive her away immediately.
Cai Yanxue was full of grievance and lowered her head, tears fell down, "I'm sorry, I don't know this is your clothes, I'll take it off and return it to you now." As she said that, she wanted to take off her skirt in public.
Zhuo Qiuyuan held her hand and said to Zhuo Feiyun, "It's just a skirt. I'll ask someone to buy you a new one."
Zhuo Feiyun is getting more and more flawed, "I want two sets."
Zhuo Qiuyuan said, "Okay, just two sets."
Zhuo Sheng said warmly, "Yan Xue, don't care too much. Fei Yun was spoiled by us, and she will inevitably feel a little unwilling to accept it. If she hurts you somewhere, I hope you don't mind."
Cai Yanxue wiped away the tears on her face, "I'm fine, I just think about the things at home and feel sad. Don't worry, I will leave when I find my father. If he already...I will leave too."
"It's okay, the Zhuo family doesn't have you alone, so you can stay as long as you want." Chen Chuying said that because no one mentioned that her position was occupied, she couldn't say anything and had to sit in the empty seat next to Zhuo Feiyun.
Zhuo Qiusheng also said, "Yes, Sister Yan Xue, a girl's family, is not easy to live outside. Zhuo's family has a great career. If you are not afraid of having a pair of bowls and chopsticks, just live here with peace of mind."
Zhuo Shengheng also said, "After having been in love with me for more than ten years, you are her daughter. Now that something happened to her, I should protect you carefully. Don't worry, as long as the Zhuo family is still there, you will not be left on the streets."
"Thanks."
After dinner, Zhuo Qiuyuan returned to the room. As soon as he took off his coat, he saw Cai Yanxue standing behind him. He was a little surprised. It was not that Cai Yanxue would follow him, but that she was obviously following behind him, but he didn't notice it.
He asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
Cai Yanxue stepped forward, squinted her hands uneasy, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, I want to sleep with you in the same room. That room is too dark, I'm afraid."
Zhuo Qiuyuan was a little at a loss. The girl in front of him gave him a strange feeling. She felt that she was innocent the previous second, but on the other hand, she felt that there was something wrong with her mind. After all, no normal person would make such unreasonable requests. But when she thought about her experience, it seemed to be understandable. She watched her relatives die one after another, and anyone would have a shadow.
"If you are afraid, put this on," Zhuo Qiuyuan took out a colorful belt and put it on her wrist, "I'm warding off evil spirits, I don't dare to get close to you if I have this ghost."
"This is not OK." Cai Yanxue saw the ribbon on her wrist and thought of something sad, with tears in her eyes. "There are many such things in the Cai family, which are useless at all. If it is useful, they will not die." She raised her head, "Brother is an exorcist. If you were with me, those ghosts would definitely not come to me."
His clear eyes and a sad expression suddenly coincided with a shadow in his heart. Zhuo Qiuyuan brushed away his past memories and said seriously, "There is a difference between men and women, I can't sleep in the same room with you."
"I'm sorry, I'm the one who made my brother embarrassed." Cai Yanxue smiled and raised her hand, but the smile seemed so far-fetched. "But I like this bracelet very much, thank you brother."
Zhuo Qiuyuan showed a rare trace of softness and touched her head.
Cai Yanxue thought for a while and asked again, "Brother, can I stay here for a while? The room is too dark, I don't want to go back so early."
"Okay." Zhuo Qiuyuan did not refuse, "Do you want to drink water?"
Cai Yanxue waved her hand, "No, I'll just sit for a while and leave soon."
Someone was knocking on the door at this time.
"I'll go open the door." Cai Yanxue ran to open the door. Outside the door was Chen Chuying.
Seeing Cai Yanxue from Zhuo Qiuyuan's room, Chen Chuying felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't show it too clearly. She smiled and walked in, "Do you have anything to say?"
Cai Yanxue said, "I'm afraid of darkness, so I came to my brother's room to chat with him. Sister, are you okay with your brother?"
"Well, then you..." Chen Chuying looked at her. Actually, she wanted Cai Yanxue to go back to her room so that she could get along with Zhuo Qiuyuan alone, but she was hard to say this in front of Zhuo Qiuyuan.
Before she finished speaking, Cai Yanxue stood in the corner and asked, "I'm fine, just pretend I don't exist and don't drive me away."
Zhuo Qiuyuan said, "If you have anything, you can say it in front of her."
Chen Chuying bit her lip. She knew that Zhuo Qiuyuan had no feelings for her, but she was Zhuo Qiuyuan's fiancée destined by her family. She was born into such a wealthy family. Marriage was originally involuntarily. Zhuo Qiuyuan naturally knew this truth, so she was not lukewarm to her.
But she is different. She really likes Zhuo Qiuyuan and really wants him to take a look at her more.
Chen Chuying took back the bitterness in her heart, "It's nothing big. I just wanted to say that I just made a pot of tea. Do you want to try it?"
"No, I don't have the habit of drinking tea at night."
Chen Chuying was a little embarrassed, unable to find the topic to continue, and she didn't want to leave. She accidentally glanced at the ribbon on Cai Yanxue's wrist and asked subconsciously, "Did you give this to her?"
Cai Yanxue smiled and raised her hand, "Brother said this can ward off evil spirits, so I gave it to me."
Chen Chuying grabbed the corners of her clothes on both sides. The ribbon was given to him by her, but she didn't expect that she would turn around and give it to someone else.
"I can't use that kind of thing, so I gave it to her."
Chen Chuying said generously, "It's okay, I'll make another new one for you."
"Ahhhhhh! There are ghosts, people come, there are ghosts..." A harsh scream suddenly came from outside the door.
