Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 323 - 21: The Doomed Sister-in-law in the Group-Pampered Novel

Eldest Xie enthusiastically carried the items the two brought inside, and at this time, Lv Cuiping was even more insistent on inviting them to stay for dinner. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"It’s dark, but that’s okay. We have plenty of rooms. You can stay overnight and leave tomorrow."

Xu Zhe’an, however, refused without hesitation.

"We won’t stay for dinner. We just came to express our gratitude and then we’ll leave."

To keep things low-key, he had already arranged for someone to drive the car to the village entrance after dark to wait.

Lv Cuiping continued to persuade, but was stopped by Xie Yumian.

"Mom, they have things to do, no need to insist. Next time Jingyi comes, she can stay overnight with me."

Xu Jingyi leaned over and asked quietly.

"Where’s your brother? Why didn’t I see him?"

Xie Yumian’s expression changed slightly, then she stood up and smiled.

"Alright, I’ll go call him. You two sit for a while."

Lv Cuiping was still puzzled, but was directly pulled outside by Xie Yumian.

"Mom, don’t say anything. Let me handle it, okay?"

"What did I say? I thought they came to see you, but it turns out they’re looking for your third brother, that ungrateful one."

Xie Yumian pondered for a moment, then looked at Lv Cuiping seriously.

"Xu Jingyi likes my third brother. Her family background isn’t simple, she’s sensible, obedient, and pretty. If third brother could be with her, it would definitely be better than entangling with Jiang Lai."

"What are you saying? Your third brother is already married, would a city girl like her even consider him? Stop overthinking and just bring him over. Don’t let that boy come here; he annoys me."

However, Xie Yumian was determined.

"Xu Jingyi is naive and romantic. If she really likes him, she might not care about third brother’s past. I’ll make things clear to third brother, and he can see who’s better."

Lv Cuiping frowned.

"Really? Can this work?"

"Let’s try. I don’t want to see third brother constantly being dragged down by Jiang Lai. He’s so good, he deserves Xu Jingyi."

After saying a few more words, Xie Yumian went personally to the back room.

Just as she reached the doorway, she saw Xie Jian chopping wood.

The chimney was smoking, and Jiang Lai was cooking.

"Third brother, can you come over for a moment?"

Xie Jian wiped his sweat and walked over, looking puzzled at her.

"Yu Mian, why are you here?"

"Do you remember the girl Xu Jingyi that you rescued from the traffickers in town? She brought something to thank you. Stop chopping wood and go see her."

Xie Jian immediately wanted to go back to the kitchen.

"Then I’ll go tell your sister-in-law."

"There’s no need to discuss it; they want to leave soon. Just say thanks and that’s it."

Xie Yumian was worried that if Jiang Lai came along and caused a scene, the whole thing would fall apart.

"Let’s go, we’ll be back soon. No need to delay your sister-in-law’s cooking."

In front of Xie Yumian, Xie Jian’s attitude softened a lot. He thought she was right and directly followed her to the front room.

As soon as Xu Jingyi saw Xie Jian, she immediately stood up nervously, her eyes fixed on him, her expression a bit awkward.

"You remember me, right? You saved me back then, otherwise, I wouldn’t know where I’d be sold now."

"It’s nothing."

Xu Zhe’an stood up and extended his hand.

"After all, it’s a life-saving grace; it’s necessary for us to personally thank you. Please accept these tokens of appreciation."

Saying this, Xu Zhe’an pulled out a red envelope and handed it over. Judging by its thickness, it wouldn’t be hard to guess what’s inside without opening it.
