How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 480 The Most Disliked Actress's Mother in the Entertainment Industry (92)
The van drove into the Xie family manor and arrived at the main building without any obstacles.

From a distance, through the car window, Zhu Wen saw Xie Ji standing alone under the dim crystal chandelier.

A hazy halo fell on his shoulder, illuminating his handsome and dashing profile.

The assistant beside him couldn't help but raise his voice in a high-pitched tone:

"Ah! It's Chairman Xie! He's out waiting for you again, Sister Zhu! But why isn't Miss Xie here? They used to be together, didn't they?"

Hearing his assistant's mutterings, Zhu Wen deliberately raised his eyebrows:

"Who knows."

Who knows if some people deliberately shunned everyone else and came to greet her alone?

Wishing you a pleasant mood, I stepped out of the car through the sliding door.

Xie Ji quickly came forward, a cashmere shawl draped over his arm.

"Cold?"

As he asked, he walked up to Zhu Wen and draped the shawl over her shoulders.

The movements were so gentle, so meticulous that even the wrinkles in the shawl were smoothed out.

"not cold."

Unfortunately, the man she encountered, Zhu Wen, was completely oblivious to romance.

She simply looked straight at him and spoke her feelings very honestly.

Xie Ji nodded without any surprise:

"Okay, take it down as soon as you get inside."

The room is heated, so there's no need for a cashmere shawl; you even have to take off your coat.

how to say.

There was probably a kind of coldness, which Xie Ji felt towards her.

In fact, Zhu Wen exercises regularly and has an amazing physical condition, so it's impossible for him to catch a cold just because of the cold.

Xie Ji seemed completely unaware, and after adjusting his shawl, he prepared to return to the house with Zhu Wen.

The Zhuwen employees on the bus leaned out and shouted enthusiastically—

"Happy New Year in advance, Sister Zhu! Mr. Xie! Oh, and I wish you both a loving and long-lasting marriage in the new year! Best wishes!"

He quickly made a heart shape with his hands, not daring to look at Zhu Wen's expression. The employees swiftly opened the doors, closed the windows, and stepped on the gas, their actions flowing smoothly and effortlessly.

In the blink of an eye, the van had sped off and disappeared from sight.

Zhu Wen smiled helplessly and explained to Xie Ji:
"I'm sorry, they are quite young and their personalities are somewhat eccentric."

"...Um, it's okay."

Xie Ji's earlobes had a slight, unintentional blush.

Although in everyone's eyes, Zhu Wen and Xie Ji were already deeply in love and their relationship was stronger than gold.

In fact, the two have always maintained a lukewarm relationship.

It's more ambiguous than friends, more distant than lovers, more polite than husband and wife... but it's always a little bit off.

This is probably because no one bothered to break the silence.

As Zhu Wen and Xie Ji walked side by side down the corridor, Zhu Wen thought casually—

If Xie Ji still refuses to speak up during the Spring Festival, then...

Let her speak first.

"Congratulations."

Xie Ji suddenly called out.

His voice trembled slightly, as if he had finally made a major decision.

Zhu Wen looked around at the surroundings. It was a long, empty corridor. Perhaps at Xie Ji's behest, there were no extra people in the corridor, only lights on both sides that stretched into the distance.

The space was enclosed and quiet, as if only Zhu Wen and Xie Ji remained in the world.

Some distances are brought infinitely closer, and some words can be spoken smoothly.

Xie Ji pursed his lips and finally spoke:
"The Spring Festival is almost here, we..."

Why don't we get together?

The second half of the sentence was not yet uttered.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from not far away.

"uncle!"

It was Xie Huan's voice, angrily intending to settle scores with Xie Ji. Xie Ji's expression stiffened slightly, his dark eyes filled with helplessness.

Zhu Wen suppressed a laugh and looked at the newcomer.

Xie Huan stopped abruptly halfway through her run:

"Aunt Zhu? You've arrived already?"

Her expression quickly became docile, and she went forward to act coquettishly.

"It's all my uncle's fault! He knew you were coming back today, but he deliberately told me it was tomorrow! That's so unfair!"

Xie Ji's brow twitched slightly.

Zhu Wen looked at him with a half-smile:
"Really? He probably remembered it wrong."

Xie Ji's anger was suddenly soothed, and he felt a sense of being quietly favored.

Look!
Zhu Wenming knew about his underhanded tactics, but she was still willing to cover for him!

Xie Ji's lips curled up, his expression pleased.

The change in mood, from displeasure to happiness, took only two seconds.

Xie Huan, who was standing next to her, felt that something was wrong...

Never mind, I wish Auntie a safe and happy trip home; she'll be the happiest one there!

"Aunt Zhu, you have no idea how long I've been looking forward to your return! I wanted to visit you on set before, but my uncle told me not to bother you... That was so infuriating! Am I some kind of nuisance?"

Seeing Xie Huan's sullen expression, Zhu Wen reached out and poked her cheek:

"No, of course not. I would be very happy if Huanhuan came."

"Yes, yes!"

Xie Huan was overjoyed and deliberately raised her chin in Xie Ji's direction.

As a result, Xie Ji didn't even look at her, and he seemed to be immersed in some kind of emotion, his whole being radiating a cheerful atmosphere.

"By the way, where's Lingling? She said she'd be coming today too!"

If Xie Huan hadn't received the news from Zhai Ling, she wouldn't have known that Zhu Wen was returning today.

Zhu Wen then took out his phone and looked at it:

"Yes, she said the plane has arrived and is now coming back from the airport."

Xie Huan cheered twice in delight:

"Great! Oh dear, I should have told me sooner so I could have picked her up!"

Xie Huan missed her friend very much after not seeing her for almost half a month.

An hour later, Zhai Ling returned home.

The four people, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, finally met up.

Xie Huan started shouting exaggeratedly:
"My goodness, I can't even remember the last time our family sat down to eat like this!"

She said the words "family" very naturally.

However, surprisingly, no one present thought there was anything wrong with this statement.

Including Xie Huan himself.

Zhai Ling quickly took out the gift she had prepared beforehand:

"Huanhuan, I'm sorry, this is a gift I brought especially for you."

Xie Huan was overjoyed to open the box and saw that it contained an exquisite silver ornament.

Although exquisite, such silver jewelry is not valuable, and it has hammer marks from being hand-hammered.

Xie Huan couldn't help but guess:
"Lingling, you didn't make this yourself, did you?"

Zhai Ling raised her chin with a hint of pride:
"That's right! I was filming in the Southern Province this time, and this is a very popular craft there, so I learned how to make it. From refining the silver to finally hammering out this bracelet, I did it all myself without asking anyone for help!"

Xie Huan was deeply moved.

In families like theirs, jewelry and luxury goods are commonplace.

On the contrary, it is things that require such thoughtfulness that are truly worthy of being treasured.

Xie Huan happily put on the bracelet.

Zhu Wen opened his mouth:
"It looks so pretty, don't you have any for me?"

The strangest thing was that Xie Ji also asked:

"And me?"
