In the evening, Shi Rao was awakened by the sound of wheels rubbing against the ground outside the window. He rubbed his eyes and went to the window to see Xie Yu in a white dress. His eyes lit up immediately, and he ran downstairs.
Xie Yu, who hadn't come home for several days, was almost knocked away by her younger sister as soon as she entered the door. She was so frightened that she trembled all over. Before she could react, she was dragged upstairs by Shi Rao.
The strange behavior of the two sisters stunned the servants and elders around, and Shi Lan couldn't help but mutter in her heart: When did the two of you get so close
On the contrary, Xie Youqing couldn't stop the joy on his face. What could be more joyful than family harmony
"What are you doing?"
Entering the bedroom, Xie Yu frowned, shook off her younger sister's hand, and looked at her with a stiff expression.
Shi Rao likes to play tricks on her parents, but she doesn't like to play tricks with her sister, so she asked straightforwardly.
"Are you going to help him or not?"
"No help!"
Xie Yu flicked the red wrist that was pinched just now, and looked at her expressionlessly, making her want to hit someone, but she didn't make any progress in fighting.
"Why? In the future, he will control everything about the Qiu family, won't it be very helpful to the Xie family?"
Looking at her younger sister who was full of expressions of "He is my fiance, you have to help him", Xie Yu couldn't help but sighed at the ceiling.
"Innocent, that's nice."
Hearing this, Shi Rao's face darkened, and she wanted to kick her.
"Don't make fun of me, I really don't understand business matters, but I believe in Qiu Cheng, he has that ability."
"You also heard what he said. The Qiu family has always been eyeing the Xie family. Do you think his younger brother will give up the idea of annexing the Xie family after he comes to power?"
"The enemy of an enemy is a friend, why not choose to strike first?"
Xie Yu still had those few words in her mind about her sister's simple thoughts:
Innocent, so nice!
"Let me just say something you can understand. Your film and television industry attracts investment, and you have to give investors something real first."
"It doesn't matter whether it's the script, the ability of the director, the charisma of the actors or the commercial value. At least let investors see that your film has business opportunities and is profitable, so they are willing to inject capital."
"Nowadays, I haven't even seen Qiu Cheng's face, and I don't know what his hole cards are. Why do you want me to spend money on this project that may not pay back for your sake!"
Xie Yu's expression and voice became more and more irritable, and in the end he just roared, forcing Shi Rao to be dumbfounded.
"..."
Looking at the completely sluggish younger sister, she pursed her lips and said impatiently.
"Go and tell him, if we need our Xie family to take action, please let him show some real guys first. I am a businessman, not a philanthropist."
She knew that Shi Rao wasn't stupid, nor was she innocent, she cared and then became chaotic, coupled with excessive self-substitution.
The two sisters are also half-brothers. It's just that from the very beginning, their parents helped them plan the route, and there was no possibility of fighting for power.
"Then... if he has a hole card in his hand, which can prove that he can indeed win this turnaround, will you help him?"
Judging from Qiu Cheng's reaction, he knew that these things were within his expectations, and it was impossible for him to be unprepared due to his character.
"I can help, but I can't help in vain. I won't lose a penny for what I want."
Looking at her sister who is completely businesslike, Shi Rao moved her lips, and said faintly:
"I can't imagine what kind of man your future husband will be."
The 28-year-old Xie Yu has completely missed the opportunity of free love. If it is a marriage...there are not many young men in the whole country who can suppress her in all aspects, and she looks down on men who are weaker than her.
Suddenly, Shi Rao finally understood why the elders in the family always shook their heads and sighed when they talked about their sister's marriage.
"none of your business!"
It was rare for a woman who had always spoken in a civilized manner to say something vulgar. Shi Rao twitched her eyebrows, deliberately leaning in to add fuel to the flames.
"What kind of man do you like? Would you like me to help you pay attention. Don't worry, I won't introduce you to those in the circle."
The water in the entertainment industry is too deep, and the unspoken rules are gender-neutral. Although she has not been submerged, she knows the twists and turns.
"You don't need to worry about my affairs, take care of yourself."
After finishing speaking, she glanced coldly at her younger sister who was just looking for trouble, turned around and walked out, slamming the door hard.
There was a loud bang, causing Shi Rao to tremble all over. She shrank her neck innocently, rubbed her nose, and muttered.
"I'm doing this for your own good too. It's better to find someone you like than to marry like a duck on the shelves."
After finishing speaking, she stomped her feet and pouted to change her clothes and prepare to go downstairs for dinner.
No one at the dinner table asked her where she had been for the past three days. Obviously, everyone knew it in their hearts, and her father stopped talking for a long time, but he still couldn't hold back.
"Rao Rao..."
As soon as she heard this opening with a sigh, her scalp tingled, and she always felt that there was nothing good to say next, as expected.
"You should know the current situation of the Qiu family. Dad advises you to think twice before acting. I don't want you to get involved in their family's right and wrong."
What if you're already involved
Holding the chopsticks, Shi Rao glanced over everyone's faces, and found that everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding, but this tacit understanding did not arise from her.
"Dad, I believe in Qiu Cheng, no matter what, I will stand by his side."
If he wins, let him cover her from now on; if he accidentally loses, she will support Qiu Cheng from now on.
Taking his daughter's determination into his eyes, Xie Youqing looked at his wife helplessly, but at this moment Shi Lan was thinking about other things and didn't notice at all, so he had no choice but to withdraw his gaze resentfully.
"If you get involved in this fight, our Xie family won't be able to escape. If Qiu Cheng loses in the future, the relationship between our Xie family and the Qiu family will..."
"Dad, it seems that my sister hasn't told you that the relationship between the Qiu family and the Xie family has never been as good as we and the outside world think."
She interrupted her father's advice with a cold face, turned her head to look at Xie Yu who was pretending to be dead, and thought: capitalists are really cold-blooded, you didn't say such a big thing.
Xie Yu turned her head and glanced at her casually, as if to say again: You guessed it right, the blood of capitalists is indeed cold.
"What do you mean by that?"
The relationship between Xie's family and Qiu's family can be traced back to the previous generation. Xie Youqing and Qiu's father are even friends who have known each other since they were studying.
"The Qiu family wants Qiu Cheng and sister to marry, not because of the feelings of your elders, but because they want to take the opportunity to annex our Xie family."
"Qiu Cheng was kicked out of the company because he didn't cooperate with his father's decision. Are you sure you don't want to think twice?"
Hearing what her daughter said, Xie Youqing's expression suddenly became serious.
"Is that so?"
"Why should I lie to you? I reported this to my sister yesterday, who knows that she didn't tell you. "
If you don't help me, even if you die, I will hold you back!
Glancing at his younger sister who planned to die with him, Xie Yu accepted his father's scrutiny calmly.
"There are no permanent friends in the mall. It's only natural for the Qiu family to have such a plan. I didn't say it because I wanted to see what chips Qiu Cheng had in his hands, and see if he was worthy of our help."
"This is also what you taught me since I was a child. When thinking about problems, we should start with the overall situation. If Qiu Cheng deserves our help, we can help him."
"If he's not worth our effort, we can swallow the Qiu family while their brothers are fighting against each other to avoid future troubles."
"..."
Fuck!
Shocked, Shi Rao was so excited that he almost broke his chopsticks, his eyes nearly popped out.
Xie Yu glanced at her nonchalantly after speaking, as if to say: Didn't expect that
But at this time, my father stood by my sister.
"Well, you're right, since people have already set their minds on us, we can't sit still."
"If Qiu Cheng is not sure of victory, we will wait for the two brothers to fight to the death before taking action. The snipe and the clam will fight and the fisherman will win."
"..."
I never expected that the development of the matter would be so uncontrollable, it was like a wild dog running wild on the land.
At this point in the conversation, it was almost to the point where there was nothing to say, Shi Rao, who felt aggrieved, did not dare to open his mouth to give away the head, so he could only eat with a sad face and bow his head.
After eating, Xie Yu was going back to her side. She came back tonight to show her face, purely for her sister's face, but she just got into the car, and Shi Rao chased after her.
"I want to talk to you!"
"I have nothing to talk to you, get out of the way!"
Shi Rao stood in front of the car, with her arms outstretched like a car, and she refused to get out of the way. She was so angry that her sister wanted to get out of the car and hit someone.
"If you don't talk to me today, don't even think about leaving here!"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark coat on the back seat of the car. Shi Rao's eyes lit up instantly, and she ran to open the door of the back seat and took out the clothes.
Seeing this, Xie Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly opened the car door to grab some clothes, but her younger sister nimbly avoided it.
"This is a man's old clothes. The market price of this brand is only two to three hundred. It is impossible for the people around you to wear such cheap clothes."
"Give me the clothes, don't force me to do it!"
"You fight, if you dare to do it, I will hand over the clothes to Dad."
"Fuck!"
Seeing her sister who was about to slap her to death, Shi Rao carefully looked at the clothes in her hands. It smelled of alcohol, and there were...dried blood, but because the clothes themselves were very black, they couldn't be seen at first glance.
"Whose clothes are these?"
"none of your business!"
"Your boyfriend? Where does he work, what does he look like, how old is he..."
It was rare to pinch her sister's pigtails, and Shi Rao instantly possessed seven aunts and eight aunts, and asked a bunch of questions in a chattering voice, which made the woman across from her want to go up and strangle her to death.
"You are enough! It's just acquaintance."
"Really? There's a lot of blood on the clothes. He's seriously injured and maybe he's being raised in your apartment right now. Shall we ask our parents to have a look?"
After finishing speaking, she heard Xie Yu's fists ringing, the creaking movement was a bit creepy.
Xie Yu, who was about to run away, after a painful struggle, slowly let go of her fist and resumed her previous posture, reaching out to ask her for clothes.
"Give me the clothes, keep this matter a secret, and let Qiu Cheng come to the company to see me tomorrow."
"You won't go back on your word, will you?"
"It doesn't count if you think I'm talking like you!"
Hearing this, Shi Rao handed over the clothes to her, and immediately jumped out of her sister's attack range, for fear of being pushed to the ground by her and beaten.
"If you dare to tell this matter, I will kill Qiu Cheng with my own hands!"
After finishing speaking, Xie Yu opened the car door and went in, threw the clothes inside, stepped on the gas pedal and left without even fastening the seat belt.
