Chapter 155 Fu Jingcheng's little thoughts

Xie Qingcen spoke in a familiar tone, with a hint of gentleness between his clear and elegant eyebrows.

In the old house, his aura seemed to soften involuntarily.

This was due to the environment in which he grew up, and it also indirectly proved that he was a person who grew up in an environment full of love.

Ruan Liuzheng looked at Xie Qingcen quietly, and for some reason, the long-hidden desire in her heart was suddenly seduced out.

Her eyes were unconsciously wet, and she lowered her head as if she had noticed something, pressing the corners of her eyes with her fingers, seemingly covering up something.

Over there, during the gap between Xie Qingcen and Uncle Wang's conversation, he did not forget to observe the changes in Ruan Liuzheng.

His eyebrows were unconsciously twisted, and he instantly thought of Ruan Liuzheng's experiences from childhood to adulthood, and the corners of his thin lips slowly pursed into a straight line.

He opened his mouth, a subtle hint of worry flickering in his dark eyes. "This will be your home from now on."

Before Ruan Liuzheng could say anything, Uncle Wang, standing beside him, took over Xie Qingcen's conversation with a smile. "Hello, Madam! I'm Uncle Wang, the Xie family's steward."

"If there's anything you need to buy or anything you'd like to eat, just let me know."

Uncle Wang's ancestors had been beneficiaries of the Xie family's kindness, and since then, the Wang family has cared for and served them for generations, a responsibility ingrained in their bones.

Feudal values are no longer tolerated in modern times, and the head of the Xie family had long since made it clear that the Wang family were not slaves of the Xie family and could leave the Xie family at any time if they wished.

However, the Wang family refused.

The Wang family was grateful and loyal, and the Xie family was not stingy.

So over the years, while Uncle Wang was nominally the Xie family's steward, in the hearts of the Xie family, he was no different from a member of their family.

His status in the Xie family was naturally far superior to that of ordinary servants.

Xie Qingcen naturally developed respect for Uncle Wang in his heart. His brows were indifferent, and he stood with his back straight.

There was a faint light hidden in his dark phoenix eyes.

No matter from which angle you look at him, he is a modest and humble gentleman.

Ruan Liuzheng looked away unnaturally, ignoring her previous uneasiness. She pursed her lips, and her cold almond eyes were a little erratic.

Even so, her upbringing was still there, not allowing her to ignore other people's kindness.

Ruan Liuzheng's lips curled up slightly, and her brows softened. "Hello, Uncle Wang, I'll remember it. If there is any trouble in the future, please forgive me."

She nodded slightly, polite but not without a hint of dignity.

Even though their status was not equal, even though it was her first visit, she did not deliberately lower her posture or deliberately try to please anyone.

Uncle Wang looked at Ruan Liuzheng, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and a hint of satisfaction flashed across his slightly dark eyes.

He leaned aside, raised his hand in a gesture of invitation, and said, "Young Master, Young Madam, please! The old lady has been waiting for a long time, and even the two children from the eldest daughter's family have arrived."

"The old house hasn't been this lively for ages!"

Uncle Wang said with a smile, his eyes twinkling with joy.

He had grown up in the Xie family, practically alongside Old Master Xie.

Naturally, he had also witnessed the births of Xie Qingshu and Xie Qingcen. While he felt regret and dismay for Xie Qingshu's past actions, he couldn't help but feel a bit of heartache for her, just like Zeng Shuwan.

How could such a good child, raised so pampered, end up becoming so horrible?

However, he was well aware of the Xie family's rules. The Xie family's existence to this day, apart from the sharp vision and outstanding abilities of each generation of patriarchs, was primarily due to the rules passed down from their ancestors, passed down from generation to generation.

They had achieved their current success.

Xie Qingshu's actions clearly violated the rules set by the Xie family's ancestors, and while he was heartbroken, he offered no sympathy for her.

If these rules were broken, how would a large family like the Xie family be governed in the future, and how would it discipline its descendants?

Xie Qingshu had no choice but to be expelled from the Xie household. But all these years, Uncle Wang had been consumed by thoughts of Xie Qingshu, the child he had practically watched grow up.

He had never met the Fu Yanci siblings, and he had no real affection for them. But the thought of them as Xie Qingshu's only remaining bloodline in this world filled him with an irresistible affection

for them. With these ties, Uncle Wang was naturally overjoyed at their arrival.

Xie Qingcen paused, holding Fu Jingcheng in his arms. He raised his eyes slightly, glancing at Uncle Wang with a calm gaze, a dark glint in his eyes.

With his wits almost uncanny, he could readily guess the source of Uncle Wang's joy, and he couldn't help but think of Zeng Shuwan's current state of mind.

He pursed his lips, gently weighing Fu Jingcheng in his arms, and finally sighed helplessly.

He reached out and grasped Ruan Liuzheng's fair, soft palm, strolling confidently into the house ahead.

The footsteps were short and powerful, fully demonstrating the owner's composure and calmness.

When Xie Qingcen and Ruan Liuzheng arrived at the living room, Zeng Shuwan was sitting on the sofa. From the perspective of the three of them, they could just see Zeng Shuwan being amused by Fu Yanci and his sister.

Zeng Shuwan was wearing a silver-white cheongsam as usual today, and her jewelry was embellished with soft pearls.

Her hair was meticulously combed back, making her look delicate and kind.

She was originally a lady with a gentle temperament. Now that she is old, the years have added a touch of experience to her, making her even more approachable.

This is why Fu Jingcheng liked Zeng Shuwan so much in the past.

Because compared to Mr. Fu, Zeng Shuwan really fits the image of his imaginary grandparents.

Fu Jingcheng nestled in Xie Qingcen's arms, his big eyes like black grapes fixed on the three people in front of him who were talking and laughing, and he curled his lips imperceptibly.

Seeing his father and aunt, who had never shown him any gentleness or kindness, he almost tried his best to please Zeng Shuwan.

He was young, but his heart was not dull.

Seeing this scene, he immediately thought of what happened at the Fu family dinner.

Fu Jingcheng pursed his lips, and a sharp look flashed across his dark eyes.

Without waiting for Xie Qingcen to speak, he moved restlessly in Xie Qingcen's arms and struggled to get off.

While struggling, he did not forget to shout to Zeng Shuwan over there, "Grandma! I'm here to see you!"

A bright smile appeared on her fair and delicate face. Her eyes, like black grapes, were like two pure glass gems under the light from the overhead.

At this moment, they were reflecting colorful light.

Xie Qingcen was the person closest to Fu Jingcheng, so Fu Jingcheng's sudden change naturally could not be hidden from his eyes.

Looking at the change in the little man's face in his arms, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a hint of teasing flashed across his dark eyes.

He didn't stop him, but bent down and put Fu Jingcheng on the floor, letting him run towards Zeng Shuwan.
