Chapter 328: Go complain to my mother's face

After just a couple of sentences, Xi Xi's vocabulary ran out; her little face flushed red from holding back, and unable to keep it in any longer, she simply blurted out the truth.

"Xi Xi just made a bet with Daddy and Mommy: as long as you, Sister, become good friends with Uncle Xie, Xi Xi can get lots and lots of candy!"

Xi Xi couldn't say exactly how much, only knowing it was a lot.

"Whether or not you want to be friends with me is up to your Uncle Xie; even if I wanted to be friends with him, he wouldn't agree."

Xi Xi's anxious little hand kept waving, "It's okay, Uncle Xie is a nice person; he never bullies girls, and he's also very popular..."

Lilian lifted her head from afar and glanced at Xie Zian standing over there.

Just from the continuous gossip about Xie Zian on vb, one can see how good his social connections are.

From what Xi Xi said, Lilian roughly understood that this kid was treating the blind date as making friends.

"Don't worry, Sister, Grandma Xie said feelings can be cultivated, and Xi Xi will work hard to create opportunities for you and Uncle Xie!"

For the candy, Xi Xi didn't hesitate to betray Xie Zian.

As soon as the words fell, Xi Xi was lifted up by her clothes, and Lu Xiwan gave Lilian an apologetic smile.

"Don't mind what this kid said; since Aunt Xie already said it, Xie Zian is just saying he's unwilling, so don't take it to heart. Zhongyi Shu has already tidied your room and put your things in; we haven't touched your luggage—go in and put them away yourself."

After all, she's still a stranger, so Lu Xiwan still observed proper etiquette.

After watching Lilian leave, Lu Xiwan then tapped Xi Xi's little nose.

"We few who made the bet aren't allowed to tell anyone; we'll just see how long your Uncle Xie can hold out."

Xi Xi pursed her lips and reluctantly agreed.

Before leaving, Mrs. Xie specially instructed Zhongyi Shu to arrange Lilian's room next to Xie Zian's, making them neighbors.

As the saying goes, "you'll run into each other if you look up or down"—Xie Zian bumped into Lilian the moment he stepped out.

"Please be careful when you walk, Mr. Xie."

Lilian also didn't intend to strike up a conversation with Xie Zian; she simply gave a bland reminder, then naturally went downstairs.

"It's clearly you who bumped into me first, okay?"

Xie Zian couldn't swallow his anger and chased after her; Lilian lifted her head and gave him a bland glance.

"Then I'll apologize to Mr. Xie, but I hope next time you go out you won't be so rushed; I can let it slide, but with someone else it might not be so easy."

Xie Zian gave a cold snort: "Don't think you can boss me around just because you're sent by my mother."

That remark didn't stir much emotion in Lilian; she merely glanced at Xie Zian and went to find Zhongyi Shu.

"Could you please have someone move a lounge chair to the yard for me? Thank you."

When going out, Lilian completely ignored Xie Zian.

When it was time to eat, Zhongyi Shu still, as Mrs. Xie said, seated her next to Xie Zian.

Who would have thought Lilian picked up her utensils and moved to the farthest edge, making her intention to avoid suspicion obvious.

Fu Sijue glanced up and said, "Aunt Xie said that if you haven't settled the marriage matter by year's end, you don't have to come home this year."

He said this with a mocking tone, and Xie Zian's hand holding the chopsticks froze.
