At this time, the dishes were arriving one after another. Seeing that the atmosphere was too dull, Mrs. Xi quickly called to Tang Zhixia, "Child, come on, let's not chat for now. Let's eat the dishes and chat while eating."
"Zhi Xia, eat some vegetables." Zhan Qingye stretched out his hand to put vegetables into her bowl.
"Thank you Qingye, I'll do it myself!" Tang Zhixia said politely.
Mrs. Xi sighed and said, "Zhi Xia, we must have been destined in the previous life, so I sincerely hope that we can be a family."
"It is also my blessing to know you."
"Your mother sacrificed herself to save Jiuchen, and you saved Qingye abroad. With this kindness, you are my family."
Zhan Qingye was immediately taken aback, raised his head and exclaimed, "Grandma, what did you say? Zhixia's mother saved Brother Jiuchen? What's going on?"
Mrs. Xi turned to look at him and said, "You have been abroad all year round. I don't blame you for not knowing about this. Jiuchen was kidnapped when he was six years old. It was Zhixia's mother who sacrificed herself in exchange for Jiuchen's life. Zhixia
The whole family is our great benefactor.”
Zhan Qingye's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that there was a huge entanglement between Tang Zhixia and his cousin. Is this the reason why his cousin was surrounding Tang Zhixia? Like him, he was also repaying his kindness to Tang Zhixia?
From his acquisition of QR Jewelry Group to his current office in Ruibao Pavilion all year round, he should be repaying his kindness to Tang Zhixia.
At this time, Mrs. Xi said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
"Grandma, let me go with you!" Tang Zhixia immediately put down his chopsticks and came over to help Mrs. Xi get up. Mrs. Xi happily accompanied her out.
The moment the door closed, Zhan Qingye looked at Xi Jiuchen with a compelling look, "Brother, are you pursuing Tang Zhixia?"
Xi Jiuchen did not dodge the question, "Yes!"
"Are you repaying her kindness, or do you really like her?" Zhan Qingye asked straight to the point.
"Both." Xi Jiuchen said in a low voice. It was helpless to compete with his cousin for a woman.
"I fell in love with Zhixia first, you can't compete with me." Zhan Qingye clenched his fists and said.
"This kind of thing does not matter who comes first, whoever has the ability can own her. In other words, the choice lies in Tang Zhixia's hands." Xi Jiuchen also tightened his expression.
"Then let's compete fairly to see who has the ability to win her heart. If you win, I will call her sister-in-law. If I win, you will call her sister-in-law. How about it?" Zhan Qingye declared fair competition straightforwardly,
Even if he loses, to Xi Jiuchen, he is willing to admit defeat.
In terms of strength, he knew that he was not as good as Xi Jiuchen, he was just unwilling to do so, so he had to fight for it.
"Okay! Let's compete fairly!" Xi Jiuchen also agreed with this approach, after all, it would not hurt the brotherhood.
After a while, Mrs. Xi and Tang Zhixia came back. The two men immediately acted as if nothing had happened and ate their own food and drank tea. The tense atmosphere just now dissipated.
"Zhi Xia, let me offer you a cup of tea instead of wine." Mrs. Xi held the tea cup and offered it to Tang Zhi Xia.
Tang Zhixia was flattered and quickly stood up to greet her, "I respect you."
"In the future, bring your son Chenchen to Xi's house to play. I want to see him too!" Mrs. Xi said to her.
"Okay, I will definitely bring him to see you when I have time." Tang Zhixia promised.
Tang Zhixia was engrossed in eating when someone suddenly put food in her bowl. She thought it was Zhan Qingye, but the direction was wrong. She looked up and saw Xi Jiuchen looking at her. It was him who had put the food in her bowl just now.
Tang Zhixia immediately looked at him nervously, implying a warning, not wanting the old lady at the table to get too close to him.
Seeing this, Zhan Qingye felt uncomfortable in his heart. He always felt like he was one step behind in everything. If only he had known that he would acquire Ruibao Pavilion and let Tang Zhixia become his employee. He would fall in love with her every day at work.
good.
But now, Tang Zhixia has become his cousin's subordinate, which really makes him the first to win.
Depressed to death, Zhan Qingye felt that today's dishes were chewy and tasteless.
