Chapter 51: There Are Clues
Xie Zhengan's ears turned slightly red, he looked away and said, "It's okay."
He took Yao Qingqing to find the housekeeper of the Xie family.
"Uncle Butler, let me ask you something."
"Master, what do you want from me?"
When the housekeeper of the Xie family saw that it was Xie Zhengan, he adjusted his glasses and wondered if he had seen it wrong.
After all, Xie Zheng'an has never taken the initiative to look for him despite his age.
"I would like to ask, has anyone else come to the Xie family these days?"
"Someone else?" The housekeeper raised his eyebrows subconsciously, thinking deeply.
"The Xie family has not had guests in the past few days." Except today.
Xie Zhengan glanced at Yao Qingqing and continued to ask: "Are there any new helpers recruited?"
"Let me think about it." The housekeeper touched his chin and began to think deeply.
After a moment, he said: "We did recruit one."
The two little guys immediately looked at him nervously.
"There is a middle-aged woman named Zhao. Her original weeder took a leave of absence, and she recommended this one to take over for two days."
"Then where is she now?"
Yao Qingqing's crisp voice sounded, and if you listened carefully, there was a hint of tremor in her voice.
The housekeeper thought for a moment and said, "It should be in the courtyard outside."
"Or stay in the staff room."
Finally, he added another sentence.
Yao Qingqing raised her head and looked at him seriously: "Can the housekeeper take us to find her?"
Seeing the expectant look in such a cute baby's eyes, the housekeeper immediately softened his heart and hurriedly agreed.
*
The housekeeper took them to the courtyard of Xie's family. There were only a few workers working in the huge place.
"Yes, that's her." The housekeeper pointed to a middle-aged woman in work clothes not far away.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Getting closer.
"Hello?" Yao Qingqing stood in front of the woman.
"Huh?" The woman turned her head and saw the cute baby in front of her, and was shocked.
Oh my God, whose little fairy is this?
Yao Qingqing looked at the woman in front of her and didn't know how to speak for a moment. Just when she was thinking about it, she heard the housekeeper say: "Sister-in-law Wang? Where is the new Aunt Zhao?"
"Ah, Butler Zhang, I'm not just gossiping. Sister-in-law Zhao doesn't look like a working material. No, she hasn't done much yet. She just made an excuse to go to the toilet and she's not back yet."
The woman complained one after another, making Yao Qingqing feel cold.
"You...can you tell me what she looks like?"
Yao Qingqing's tone was anxious and sounded a little pitiful.
"Qingqing, don't worry."
Xie Zhengan was stunned. Although he didn't know why she was looking for a weeder, he still felt nervous when he heard her anxious tone.
I don't know why I panicked.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang quickly described Lin Zhilan's appearance.
As she listened, Yao Qingqing was stunned. How could this description sound like Lin Zhilan?
"Thank you, Auntie." After thanking her politely, she and Xie Zheng'an left the grass and returned to the hall.
"Qingqing, if you need my help in any way, just tell me." Xie Zheng'an carefully reached out and patted Yao Qingqing's back and said comfortingly.
"Well, thank you, Brother An An."
At least she probably knew who that person was, and her trip was not in vain.
It's just fine, why did Lin Zhilan come to Xie's house to work as a weeder?
Yao Qingqing calmed down and felt warm in her heart when she looked at the little boy in front of her, who was not much older than her.
She put the matter behind her for the time being and said to Xie Zheng'an: "Let's go, let's go eat!"
A smile appeared on Yao Qingqing's face again, and she looked much happier.
Xie Zhengan followed her, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.
"Uncle."
Seeing Xie Zheng'an approaching, Xie Jiangzhi stood up and said hello.
"Yeah." Xie Zhengan returned to his cold demeanor. His eyes swept over Xu Youyou and then moved away.
"Brother An'an, this is delicious." Yao Qingqing picked up the banana roll, took a bite, and nodded seriously.
He ran over with a banana roll and put it in front of Xie Zhengan.
Xie Zheng'an's eyes felt warm, and he picked up a banana roll and took a bite under Yao Qingqing's expectant gaze.
"It's really good." Xie Zhengan nodded affirmatively.
"Can I have a taste?" Xie Jiangzhi saw that Xie Zheng'an was enjoying the food, so he leaned over and whispered.
Xu Youyou's face changed drastically. She finally recognized her relatives and returned to the Xu family. She saw Xie Jiangzhi at the banquet. She was just thinking about having a good chat with Xie Jiangzhi. This Yao Qingqing likes to go against her so much, right?
The corner of Yao Qingqing's mouth also twitched slightly: "Of course, you can try it. Brother An An, let's go over there to play."
Xie Jiangzhi had done her terrible harm in her previous life. Now that she saw Xie Jiangzhi, she felt uncomfortable all over. How could she want to stay with him?
What's more, there was Xu Youyou next to him.
Xie Zhengan actually listened to Yao Qingqing's words, and quickly stood up and left after hearing the words.
"That Yao Qingqing... doesn't he like me?"
After the two left, Xie Jiangzhi had no choice but to come to Xu Youyou with a banana roll.
"I don't know, but Youyou likes to play with Jiang Zhi!"
Xu Youyou pretended to be ignorant and smiled, with unabashed fondness in her eyes.
Xie Jiangzhi stared at her expression for a while, then suddenly turned his head and his ears felt a little hot.
Yao Huaiyu, who was looking for someone all over the world, finally saw his sister's figure and walked quickly towards Yao Qingqing.
Seeing that Yao Qingqing was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Qingqing, where have you been? My brother can't find you anywhere."
"Brothers Qingqing and An An are going to play. Third brother, I'm sorry." Yao Qingqing looked like he had done something wrong, which made people feel distressed.
"It's okay, just be safe."
Children love to play, of course Yao Huaiyu can understand it. Remember when he was a child, he disappeared for a day and did not come home. Mrs. Yao and Mr. Yao were both very anxious. In the end, the eldest brother found him in the game hall.
but……
He frowned and looked at the half-grown little boy in front of him.
What did Qingqing just call him? Brother An An?
Third brother Yao Huaiyu's face turned dark.
"Third brother, grandma is over there. Qingqing has gone to find grandma." Seeing Yao Huaiyu's worried expression, Yao Qingqing chose to run away, dragging Xie Zhengan with him.
Walking to Mrs. Yao, Yao Qingqing glanced at his third brother guiltily.
Old Mrs. Yao was reminiscing with her friends. When she saw Yao Qingqing, she immediately beamed: "Qingqing is back! Did you have fun?"
"Happy!" Yao Qingqing quickly responded cheerfully.
Mrs. Yao touched her granddaughter's earlobe lovingly. Mrs. Yao looked at Xie Zheng'an with gentle and kind eyes: "How is your father lately?"
It is no exaggeration to say that among his peers in Haishi, Xie Zhengan is undoubtedly the most eye-catching.
Although Xie Xiao usually kept strict control, Xie Zhengan didn't have many opportunities to show his face.
