The Improper Strategy of Yandere
Page 66
Zheng Xueyuan was wearing a chiffon long dress and light makeup. The hem of her skirt swayed at her knees. She greeted him with a smile, stepped over the threshold, and glanced at the smooth floor.
"Do you have my slippers?"
Xi Nanfeng also got up early today, dressed neatly and tied up her long hair. She looked at He Xiao, understood, and smiled politely, "No need to change shoes."
Zheng Xueyuan was nominally a guest, but in fact the whole house was arranged around her.
"How can that be possible?" Zheng Xueyuan bent down and pointed at a pair of pink cat slippers on the shoe rack and asked, "Can I wear these?"
Apple stood timidly behind Xi Nanfeng. Seeing the strange woman trying to wear Li Zi's slippers, she couldn't help but say, "Those belong to my sister!"
Zheng Xueyuan was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then can I be Apple's sister too?"
Apple touched her chin and looked at Miss Zheng. He Xiao was about to wink at her, but Zheng Xueyuan picked out some snacks from the bag in Natalia's hand, held them in her hand and raised them with a smile.
Xiao Qingmei would not eat snacks from strangers! He Xiao quickly took it and handed it to Apple.
The girl grinned, immediately betraying her soul, and called out "sister" sweetly. It would be too late to regret after she finished eating.
When the word "sister" was uttered, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly eased.
Zheng Xueyuan gracefully took off her sandals, revealing a pair of beautiful feet wrapped in light-colored socks, which were trapped in her body by the cute cat slippers.
Several people sat down one after another, and He Xiao, the host, poured hot tea for them. However, only Natalia was waiting quietly in the corner, folding her hands and staring with her blue eyes.
"Nata, please sit down. Today is not a negotiation, and you don't have to protect me." Zheng Xueyuan raised his hand and said, trying to get closer.
The sponsor spoke, and the Rakshasa woman was not polite either. She sat down next to Zheng Xueyuan and shouted, "He Xiao, I want to drink coffee."
I knew you could drink! He Xiao turned around to make her coffee and listened to their conversation with his ears perked up.
Xi Nanfeng was not shy either. He took a sip of tea and said, "Excuse me, Miss Zheng. Apple is Xiaoxiao's sister. She has always been eccentric."
"You must be very happy every day with such a happy person." Zheng Xueyuan smiled and said with a hint of apology: "It was me who frightened your family a few days ago."
"It's all my fault. I was extremely anxious after learning that He Xiao had some special abilities. I knew that he was at home on weekends, and I couldn't bear the desire to make friends with him, so I asked Nata to invite him..."
At this point, Zheng Xueyuan stood up, picked up his teacup and shook it in greeting: "I was too impatient and didn't know your situation. I'm really sorry."
This counted as an apology, and He Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Xi Nanfeng's last words asking the eldest lady to apologize would instead arouse the rebellious heart of the daughter of power and wealth, and if the two of them started to fight each other, that would be the end of it.
Fortunately, as Sister Xi Nanfeng expected, when women like someone, they can always tolerate his shortcomings and love him as well as his wife. It turns out that only women understand women.
"So that's how it is..." Xi Nanfeng smiled as if in the spring breeze, "Since Miss Zheng and Xiao Xiao are already friends, they can just visit each other more often, so there's no need to send out invitations."
It is called asking for help, but in fact it is asking Zheng Xueyuan not to threaten or coerce himself.
"Of course!" Zheng Xueyuan nodded slightly, thinking: "I promise... no one will hand over an invitation again, and no one can make He Xiao do something he doesn't want to do."
This is what it means to be a member of the Young Lady's staff! She has to take on the responsibility of protecting him.
He Xiao came out with a cup of water and looked at the elder sister. They both saw the relief in each other's eyes. Zheng Xueyuan was indeed a reasonable person and not the kind of person who would act recklessly.
"Prepared sweet coffee, that's all."
He Xiao brought it to Natalia. The Rakshasa beauty's beautiful face was full of joy. She nodded at him and grinned, "Next time you go to Jiangbai Garden or the one opposite, I will make tea for you too."
At the end, he pretended to be angry and added: "I only have green tea that costs ten yuan a pound! You have no choice!"
Chapter 161 The Miss's Generosity
Zheng Xueyuan smiled politely: "I felt that Sister Xi Nanfeng looked familiar when I saw her for the first time today. Who knows where we may have met before?"
Miss Zheng really felt that Xi Nanfeng's dignified and beautiful head looked familiar. Although she couldn't remember where she had seen it, she always felt a pang of palpitations when she saw it.
Fortunately, she had mastered the art of dealing with people over the years, and as soon as she entered the door, she felt that He Xiao's family was quite hostile to her.
Even He Xiao, who was calm and composed in Jiang Baiyuan last time, seemed to show some anxiety because of the presence of his relatives.
Fortunately, she had managed to bring them closer after just a few moves. Now that the hostility between them had been resolved, it was time to talk about interests! Zheng Xueyuan stared at Xi Nanfeng's face, wondering where he had seen her before.
Have I met Miss Zheng before? Xi Nanfeng thought for a moment, but couldn't remember when he had seen this pretty face, so he politely perfunctorily answered her.
"I stay at home most of the time, it's really nice to meet you once..."
After a few pleasantries, Zheng Xueyuan put down his teacup with a smile and spoke to Xi Nanfeng in a leisurely tone.
"Today I came to Sister Xi Nanfeng's house not only to say sorry, but also to make some actual compensation. Ah... there is also good news."
"What do you want to know first, what the apology is? Or do you want to know first, what the good news is?" Zheng Xueyuan clapped his hands playfully, but saw Xi Nanfeng and He Xiao looking at each other, with bitter expressions on their faces.
Or maybe it's because her status is too noble. When people really want to get closer to her, everything makes people think too much, as if her every move is calculating something.
But she really just wanted to make friends with He Xiao's family - of course! And to help her dispel her fear of darkness and ghosts!
Zheng Xueyuan smiled bitterly and regretted in her heart. She felt that it would be better for her to be more relaxed when sending text messages on her mobile phone. At least she could use a lot of emoticons and emojis to express her true feelings without having to be so restrained and polite.
"It doesn't matter whether you apologize or not." He Xiao saw the embarrassment on her face and quickly asked, "What good news can our family have?"
"How could there be nothing?" Zheng Xueyuan's eyes were narrow and kind, and she spoke softly while holding a knitted sun hat in her hands.
"I've received the news. He Xiao, you did very well in the exam this time. You are among the best in Fuqiu. It's more than enough for you to go to No. 1 Middle School."
This is good news! Sister Xi Nanfeng, whose expression had been a little stiff, was no longer worried that Miss Zheng would lie to her. She immediately wiped away the dullness on her face, and her eyes glowed with pride.
The elder sister reached out to touch her child's head, but she thought that there were many people around and the boy would definitely not like her treatment like a child. She put her hand down angrily but He Xiao grabbed it. She rubbed her soft hand against Xiao Xiao's palm and smiled sweetly.
"Xiao Xiao is hard-working and smart, so he deserves good grades!"
After a pause, Xi Nanfeng waved his hand for He Xiao to come over, and whispered in his ear: "I will give you the gift I promised Xiaoxiao right away, and Xiaoxiao doesn't have to find ways to secretly know it."
Doing well in the exam was nothing, but seeing elder sister Xi Nanfeng blushing, He Xiao's heart beat wildly. He swallowed and said nothing.
"You two... eh?" Zheng Xueyuan wanted to say something, but Natalia suddenly nudged her and whispered in her ear, "Miss Zheng, they call each other brother and sister."
The eldest lady was stunned, and said carefully: "The relationship between the two siblings is really enviable."
After saying that, she looked at the two of them strangely. She always felt that He Xiao was a little too close to Xi Nanfeng, who adopted him, but she didn't think too much about it. She just thought it was a habit of relying on each other for many years.
"Not only did He Xiao do very well in the exam this time, but Jian Ping's sister Jian Li was also good enough to get into No. 1 Middle School. But I think it's a waste of talent for He Xiao to go to No. 1 Middle School."
Zheng Xueyuan complimented him and realized how important Xi Nanfeng was to He Xiao, so he showed his chips to his elder sister.
"As long as He Xiao is willing, I can recommend him to the best private school in Lan Fang, and I will pay for the tuition."
This condition is just as attractive to Big Sister Xi Nanfeng as apple juice is to Jian Ping!
The older sister, who was still as graceful as ever in the wheelchair, immediately glanced at He Xiao, and unconsciously reached out to pinch the corner of his clothes, her eyes full of charm and sparkling.
He Xiao saw this and shook his head slightly. He understood that his elder sister wanted him to receive a good education so much that she had considered letting him attend the affiliated high school when she moved the family ten years ago.
Moreover, admission to high-quality private schools is not something that can be gained simply by having money; rather, a recommendation system is implemented, which is truly a rare opportunity.
Often only the truly powerful and wealthy can send their children in, where they can not only receive the most top-notch, elite education, but also build a network of social relationships in advance.
But he didn't need these at all. Among the many regrets in his previous life, the most heartbreaking one was of course Xi Nanfeng's legs.
If advanced technology had been available earlier, she wouldn't have stayed in the nursing home so listlessly and unwilling to communicate with others.
Therefore, He Xiao had already determined his own development path, that is, a speculator disguised as a pianist - to promote the advancement of medical technology, not only huge wealth is needed, but also huge manpower and material resources.
If you want to help the elder sister stand up, you must be like Lu Buwei who made the most of rare goods and invested in generals and ministers!
"Sister Xi, I want to accompany you." He Xiao looked at Xi Nanfeng's brown eyes and said seriously: "The private school is too far away, and I am confident that I can enter a national university."
In his previous life, he had entered a national university through the art route relying on his talent for piano. Knowledge from books can be forgotten, but the skills that have been ingrained in one's bones are not so easy to disappear - he is now a half-step master.
The elder sister's body trembled when she heard this, and she felt mixed emotions. On the one hand, she felt that she was a burden to Xiao Xiao, making him give up the opportunity willingly.
On the other hand, she felt so happy that she couldn't breathe, as if she was soaked in honey water. She could only tighten her skirt, press her lower abdomen inconspicuously, and hum in a low voice.
"I really envy you. My mother is a serious person..."
Zheng Xueyuan swallowed his words about funding Xi Nanfeng to go to the best sanatorium, and complained about his family, but the smile on his face did not diminish.
If He Xiao really went to a private school, he would have to accept the boarding system, which meant that the next few years would be in her control. Even if he refused, Xi Nanfeng would be grateful for her kindness, and their relationship would be greatly closer.
Sure enough, the woman in the wheelchair thanked him sincerely: "Ms. Zheng's apology is really hard to refuse, but I still respect Xiao Xiao's idea. After all, he is also an independent boy..."
"Haha... this is not an apology." Zheng Xueyuan smiled without showing his teeth, but it did not look artificial, as if he was bathed in a spring breeze.
Chapter 162 Please let me be the consul!
Zheng Xueyuan blinked slyly, held his chin and said, "This is just mutual help between friends."
"The real apology is here." Zheng Xueyuan glanced at Nata who was concentrating on tasting her coffee. The blonde beauty took out an agreement and put it on the coffee table and pushed it over.
Without waiting for He Xiao to look, Miss Zheng explained with a smile.
"I have many ways to make money, and I know that you, He Xiao, need money, so as long as you trust me, I guarantee that your current assets will increase tenfold by the time you graduate from high school."
That’s one hundred million!
Xi Nanfeng's breathing quickened. She didn't care that He Xiao had promised to cure her leg. Not to mention that it wouldn't work, even if it did, it would be a long time before it worked. But if she could achieve the goal of 100 million...
Xiao Xiao doesn't have to worry about the rest of his life! Just retire right where you are!
The two of them, or with Li as a daughter-in-law, can become Xiaoxiao's daughter-in-law and carry on the family line. Everything is so beautiful, and they can live a stay-at-home life!
Better things are yet to come. Zheng Xueyuan glanced at the excited Xi Nanfeng and the silent He Xiao, then smiled slowly with his lips pursed.
"If He Xiao can do me a small favor, I promise that I can make ten times more after I graduate from college."
He Xiao drank his tea in silence. Big sister Xi Nanfeng didn't really calculate his account. Her current share capital plus cash total value exceeded 25 million, and ten times ten was 2.5 billion.
And all this wealth can be obtained in just three years of high school and four years of college - but at what cost?
"What kind of favor?" Xi Nanfeng had recovered from her shock and asked softly with a frown. Of course she loved the money, but she also knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch!
Zheng Xueyuan stood up, bowed sincerely and said, "He Xiao, I hope you can help me dispel the fear in my heart - I am afraid of the darkness, because there are ghosts walking backwards in the darkness that are haunting me."
"As long as you can help me solve this problem... then you will be my best friend. This money is just a little sweetener. I promise you will get much more than that!"
So many benefits! Such generous conditions! Such a sincere tone! Everything is for this one goal!
He Xiao stood up slowly. Natalia, who was behind Zheng Xueyuan, blinked her lake blue eyes smartly and shook her head gently to signal him not to agree.
Because if you can't do it... you will have to pay back tenfold or a hundredfold what you got today.
"I don't know how to exorcise ghosts, nor am I good at psychological diagnosis and treatment. If you have other wishes, I can still give it a try."
He Xiao said calmly, raising his hand to signal Miss Zheng to stand up, but she grabbed his hand.
Her fingers were soft and tender, and they made a rustling sound when scratched by her calloused palms. Zheng Xueyuan raised her head and looked at his expression, as if trying to judge whether he was really powerless or wanted to raise the price.
He Xiao had a wooden face and stared into her dark eyes without giving in - he couldn't do it, and the price she offered was not attractive to him at all.
He had plenty of ways to make money. In the few months since his rebirth, he had built up a fortune from nothing and now had nearly 30 million in assets. He didn't really need Miss Zheng's favor.
The scene froze for a moment, and Natalia quickly tried to smooth things over: "He Xiao, let go of Miss Zheng's hand quickly! What do you want to do by holding it for so long?"
Zheng Xueyuan, who had been tightly holding He Xiao's hand, suddenly came to his senses. He dangled his hands in despair, took two steps back and sat down. If Nata hadn't gently supported him, he would have nearly tripped over the sofa.
Is there no way in this world to save her?
After a long silence, Zheng Xueyuan's pretty face shook sadly, with tears in his eyes: "Okay... He Xiao, you can't help me... I was too abrupt."
The feeling of having your hopes shattered is not pleasant. He Xiao could understand this feeling. He cleared his throat and comforted the distraught slender woman.
"Zheng Xueyuan, if it's about money, power or something else, maybe I can think of a way, but I really can't do anything about this."
Miss Zheng Xueyuan's face was already pale because of the makeup, and now it looked even more gray and lonely. She grasped the hem of her skirt and then let it go, repeatedly raising her eyes and forcing a smile at him.
"So... can all other wishes come true?"
"Uh." He Xiaoke couldn't write such a blank check, so he poured her some hot tea and said as gently as possible: "You can tell me first."
"Then let me be the chief executive of Lan Fang." Zheng Xueyuan's words almost made Xi Nanfeng knock over the teacup.
What is Lan Fang? It is one of the three great powers on earth! It is a superpower on par with Greater Germany that dominates Europe and Africa, and Oceania that dominates North and South America! It is the ruler of billions of yellow-skinned people in the Eastern world!
He Xiao did not agree immediately. He frowned and looked at the foam on the leaves in the teacup.
Lan Fang is a very conservative country. From the time it established its capital in Nanjing two hundred years ago to today, there has never been a female governor - let alone a chief.
It sounded like she was embarrassing him, Xi Nanfeng half closed her eyes and whispered softly: "Miss Zheng, you are such a joker..."
"I'm not kidding." Zheng Xueyuan shook his head, his eyes firm and without any joking.
"Lan Fang has a destiny and is blessed by her ancestors." Zheng Xueyuan muttered to himself and began to talk incessantly about some metaphysical content that no one could understand, and finally came to a weird conclusion.
"As long as I become the chief minister of Lan Fang, I will have obtained the mandate of heaven! Naturally, I will be immune to all evil! I won't have to be afraid of that evil spirit anymore."
Zheng Xueyuan spoke confidently and was so excited that he swallowed several mouthfuls of the water without caring about the scalding temperature. He let out a "ouch" and opened his mouth, revealing his little red tongue. He almost threw the cup in his hand away.
