Chapter 90 Feeding the dog sincerely
When Yun Xi saw Zhou Ling like this, her heart sank. She glanced at her eldest brother and saw that he also had a complicated expression. She suppressed the smile on her face.
"These are the guests who came to the restaurant for dinner."
She did not specifically introduce Ying Tianchen, nor did she introduce their identities.
Ying Tianchen didn't even glance at Zhou Ling, but only greeted Yun Qi.
Yun Qi bowed in return, then excused himself to Zhou Ling and personally took Ying Tianchen to the backyard.
Zhou Ling's eyes flashed and she was puzzled. Since he was a guest coming to eat, why didn't he go upstairs but went to the backyard?
You know, even though she and her brother were so familiar with each other in the Seven Stars Tower, they had never been to the backyard.
I have heard that the young master of Qixing Tower is young, handsome and extraordinary. Could it be that this person is not just a guest, but the real young master of Qixing Tower?
Just looking at his demeanor, you can tell that he is not an ordinary person.
Even if he was not the real young master, he must be a guest of extraordinary status, otherwise Yunqi, as the shopkeeper, would not receive him personally. Moreover, he took the person to the backyard, not the Seven Stars private room upstairs.
Zhou Ling took a step forward and took Yun Xi's arm affectionately.
"Sister Yunxi, I heard from Brother Yun that you have been in the county town recently. How come I haven't seen you?"
Yun Xi calmly pulled out her arm and walked towards the rest area nearby.
"I was busy these days, so I didn't come to the Seven Stars Tower."
As she spoke, she found a seat and sat down, waving her hand and motioning Zhou Ling to sit opposite her.
"Sister Zhou is coming to the Seven Stars Restaurant for dinner again today?"
Zhou Ling shook her head. "No, I heard from Brother Yun that your entire clan will move to Hepu County tomorrow, and I came to see you off."
"Sister Zhou is thoughtful."
"Alas, it's such a pity for your eldest brother. It would be great for him to be the shopkeeper of the Seven Stars Building. With the support of the young master behind him, everyone in the county would be polite to him. But he left so suddenly. It will be difficult for him to find such a good job in the future."
Yun Xi sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. Our whole family has left, and we can't let my eldest brother stay alone in Xiemu County."
Zhou Ling nodded slightly, "That's true. Your eldest brother is leaving soon, so should their young master come over and let him hand over his duties?"
As she spoke, she leaned forward, looking like someone who was about to whisper something to her.
"Sister Yunxi, tell me secretly, is that young man the owner of the Seven Stars Tower?"
Yun Xi looked at the girl in front of her who looked like a caring and good sister, and who was asking about the news about the young master of the Seven Stars Tower in a roundabout way. There was something she didn't understand in her heart. This person had always maintained an ambiguous attitude towards her eldest brother, and her purpose was probably only one from beginning to end, and that was to become the young master behind the Seven Stars Tower.
I really feel sorry for my brother. His sincerity has been wasted.
In fact, his elder brother was not the one who took the initiative. If Zhou Ling had not given her elder brother unrealistic hints and fantasies many times, his elder brother would never have thought of marrying the girl.
Seeing his elder brother's expression just now, when he was asking Zhou Ling about the official's identity from the side, he was probably aware of Zhou Ling's use of him and her lack of care for him.
I don’t know how miserable her elder brother is feeling right now.
Thinking of this, Yun Xi no longer had the desire to play along with Zhou Ling.
She looked straight at Zhou Ling and asked, "Sister Zhou has been asking about who the young master of the Seven Stars Tower is and what he does?"
Zhou Ling pulled the corner of her mouth, "I'm just a little curious. I guess everyone in Xiemu County is a little curious."
Yun Xi smiled lightly, "Yes, many people are curious. Sister Zhou has asked us three siblings about it countless times, intentionally or unintentionally. My eldest brother has never said anything, but Sister Zhou still asks whenever she gets the chance. Do you think this is appropriate?"
Smart people can hear the hidden meaning in her words. It seems that it is inappropriate to ask the owner of Qixing Tower, but in fact, she is saying that it is wrong for Zhou Ling to keep her brother hanging and take advantage of his feelings.
Zhou Ling's smile froze. She didn't expect Yun Xi to be so disrespectful today. Her face turned slightly red, and she didn't know if it was because of anger or embarrassment.
"I was presumptuous. I thought I had some friendship with Miss Yun and Shopkeeper Yun, so I didn't know how to act. It seems that I overestimated this friendship. Miss Yun, rest assured, I won't do it again in the future."
Yun Xi saw that she changed the way she addressed herself and her elder brother, and looked angry and embarrassed, but the smile on her face did not diminish.
"It's good that Miss Zhou knows."
Zhou Ling was furious.
Yun Xi stood up, still smiling, "I have something else to do. Excuse me, Miss Zhou, please do as you please."
Zhou Ling looked at the beautiful figure going away and her eyes turned red with anger.
As soon as I changed my mind, I had already made up my mind.
Humph, didn’t you tell me not to use Yunqi? Well, I’m going to use him thoroughly today.
Yun Xi went to the backyard, and when she got there, Ying Tianchen and others were already eating in the side hall.
Yun Qi sat in the main hall in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yun Xi called softly, "Brother."
Yun Qi looked up and smiled before he spoke, "Little sister, are you hungry? I'll have someone bring you food."
"Yun Xi shook her head. No need. I'll go back and eat with my parents later."
After taking a look at the man who was forcing a smile, Yun Xi went over and sat next to him, resting her head on his shoulder.
Yun Qi originally wanted to say that we should pay attention to the separation between men and women, but it can be seen that there is no third person here. This is his own sister whom he has always doted on. Since she wants to rely on him, then let her rely on him.
"Big brother."
"Ah."
"Are you feeling sad?"
Yun Qi subconsciously wanted to refute, but Yun Xi didn't give him a chance to speak.
"Brother, she's not worth it."
Yun Qi turned his head to look at her, and what caught his eye was her fair and plump forehead. He raised his hand and patted it gently.
Yun Xi pretended to be in pain, hissed, covered her forehead with both hands, and glared at Yun Qi angrily.
Yun Qi chuckled, "See if you're still talking nonsense."
Yun Xi snorted, "Where did I say that? Don't tell me you didn't see that he wasn't interested in you. He probably just wanted to use you to find out who your boss is."
Yun Qi smiled bitterly and did not hide it. "In fact, I have noticed it a long time ago. It's just that every time I have this feeling, she says something ambiguous, making me think that she is also fond of me. And her brother often teases me and her, making me think that her family likes me. I am also worried about ruining her reputation, and I have proposed to her brother the idea of formally asking a matchmaker to propose marriage, but her brother always smiles and says that they will not interfere and it depends on her own opinion."
"I tried to test her a few more times. Sometimes she said she treated me as a friend, and sometimes she said it was not the right time. Anyway, she always had a reason. I never understood what she meant, but every now and then she asked me about the Seven Stars Tower's owner, and I became suspicious. When I saw the look in her eyes today when she looked at Mr. Chen, I knew we were not meant to be together."
