Chapter 338: I Have Seen Her

Lu Xiwan only felt the corner of her mouth twitch slightly, almost forgetting to manage her expression.

Seeing Xie Zian putting on an expression almost identical to Xi Xi's, standing before her seeking praise, Lu Xiwan couldn't hold back.

"So you fell at the front door and just went out to play like that? You didn't even say you'd come back to change clothes?"

Lu Xiwan originally thought Xie Zian was already unreliable enough, but didn't expect Lilian to be even more unreliable.

"How big is the mountain villa? You already know that, and besides, playtime is already short; Xi Xi and Yao Yao rarely get a chance to go out and play, so of course we must seize every minute."

Xie Zian spoke with such righteous confidence that Lu Xiwan almost felt she was in the wrong.

She took a deep breath.

Don't get angry, don't get angry; there's no need to get angry with Xie Zian.

"Actually, Mr. Xie also means well, and we didn't go to a crowded place; today Xi Xi and Yao Yao had fun playing. Mrs. Fu doesn't need to make such a big fuss."

Now Lu Xiwan wasn't just angry; she was so shocked her jaw almost dropped.

Unexpectedly, one day Lilian would also speak up for Xie Zian.

These two just went out for a trip, how did they end up forming such deep revolutionary friendship?

Liliya felt a bit embarrassed, slightly turning her body aside awkwardly, avoiding Lu Xiwan's scrutinizing gaze.

"I used to have some prejudice against Mr. Xie, but now I've let it go; we two are both forced by family circumstances, so naturally we can't blame this on Mr. Xie. Moreover, after today I've realized Mr. Xie is actually a decent person."

It was those false reports online that made Lilian preconceive Xie Zian as an utterly wicked person.

Lu Xiwan nodded, made no comment, and first took Xi Xi and Yao Yao upstairs to bathe and change clothes.

When she came downstairs, she summoned everyone to the living room and looked at them very seriously.

"Today I've gathered everyone together because there's something I feel I must tell you."

Zhong He and Fu Sijue already knew, so they observed everyone's facial expressions without showing anything.

"Because the Fu family encountered some problems, we were forced to move here; we had kept it from you before because we thought we could handle it ourselves, but some things have happened these days, and I feel it's very necessary to inform everyone."

"I hope everyone stays vigilant at all times, protects themselves, and I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you."

They also don't know exactly when those people will come; everyone here has the right to be informed, so Lu Xiwan didn't choose to conceal it either.

But she also didn't tell everything outright.

Lilian's expression remained normal; Xie Zian and Zhongyi Shu found this even more ordinary and unremarkable.

Although the Xie family isn't as prominent as the Fu family, Xie Zian has also experienced quite a bit of this sort of thing over the years.

Therefore she felt even more sympathy for them.

"Rest assured, my villa is your villa; stay here as long as you like, even if you never return to Hengshan Gongguan, I think we few will live quite freely and happily."

At least Xie Zian really likes this situation.

Fu Sijue gave Xie Zian a cool glance and said, "You like the idea of not having to work, right?"

He didn't hesitate to undermine Xie Zian's authority, making Xie Zian feel quite embarrassed.

But since the speaker was Fu Sijue, he also didn't dare to talk back.

That's his direct superior; if the Fu clan didn't want him, Haicheng would truly have no one willing to take his enterprise, and then he'd have to go home to inherit a fortune of billions.

That would mean having to listen to his parents' nagging every day, from now on he couldn't just go out and play as he pleased, and would even have to give up the career he loves.

To Xie Zian, this was like a nightmare.

"Never mind what I like; anyway, you family can sit here relaxed, assured no one will drive you away. My vacation villa is well hidden; these years no one has dug up that I own this property."
