Xie Jiang slowly turned his head and bowed solemnly to Sophie.
Sophie was not surprised. She stood still and didn't dodge, and she didn't even move her steps.
Xie Jiang spoke first, chatting like a friend, "You don't seem surprised?"
Sophie shrugged, "I risked half my life for you today, and was scolded by Zhao Dong. Am I not worthy of that?"
Xie Jiang smiled bitterly and teased, "You're welcome."
Sophie said calmly: "I am Zhao Dong's wife. Logically speaking, you should call me sister-in-law. What are you so polite about?"
"Besides, that's my personality. I do things with dignity and no shame at all."
"I'm not as coy as other women, and I don't like to be pretentious."
"For example, I know that you have never approved of me and Zhao Dong being together!"
Xie Jiang asked, "Then why are you still helping me?"
Sophie said matter-of-factly: "Because you are Zhao Dong's brother, because I can see that you also regard Zhao Dong as a brother!"
"As a woman, I may not understand you, and I may feel that your prejudice is unfair."
"But as my sister-in-law, I have no reason not to help you!"
Xie Jiang nodded, "Thank you, sincerely!"
"Although I still don't approve of you, and although I still think it's inappropriate for you to be with Zhao Dong, I appreciate you very much!"
"It's not just because you helped me today. As you said, you Sophie behaves upright and there is nothing shameful about you!"
"I appreciate your attitude. If you give me a little more time, maybe I will accept you like Xiong Chen and others."
"Can I ask you something?"
Sophie adjusted her skirt, then sat down casually, "Just ask."
Xie Jiang stared into Sophie's eyes, "I've caused a lot of trouble this time. Some people can't even hide away. Aren't you afraid of being implicated by me?"
Sophie put her hands on her knees, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
Xie Jiang also sat down and nodded: "Of course."
Sophie said seriously, "Those people I stopped just now, although I don't know what they do, but I can imagine that they must be important people that I, Sophie, can't afford to offend!"
"And I know better than anyone else what the consequences will be if you let them break in, once you let them bump into you!"
"I know better what consequences I will face if I conflict with them today!"
"It's a lie to say I'm not afraid, but there's nothing I can do about it. I'm Zhao Dong's wife and you are his brother."
"There are some things that are inconvenient for him to come forward and cannot come forward, so I, the wife, can only handle them!"
"But when I say fear, I'm definitely not just scared."
"But I'm afraid that this matter will affect my husband and my family!"
"I'm afraid of returning, but if I really cause any trouble today, I definitely won't regret it!"
Xie Jiang asked again, "If I said that the last car accident you met was related to me, would you hate me?"
Sophie was stunned for a moment, and then responded: "It's not about hatred. I know that your original intention was not to harm me."
"Otherwise, with your ability Xie Jiang, if you really want to take action, I don't believe that I can be safe!"
"I know clearly that everything you do is for Zhao Dong, and so am I. It's all for my husband."
"Although our means, methods and methods may be different, our stance is the same!"
Xie Jiang changed his self-deprecating tone, "You don't need to praise me. In fact, I, Xie Jiang, am not a big shot."
"It's just that after Brother Dong retired, in order to appease us brothers, and because the Xie family has a good reputation in Tiandu, I took a job in Company Five."
"To be honest, based on my ability, I'm afraid I still wouldn't be able to sit in this position."
"I am not as transparent as Xiao Bo, and I am not as tolerant as Sheng Zi."
"You also saw today's battle. Such a big thing has happened. Is there anyone willing to help me?"
"This is where Brother Dong is different from me. To put it bluntly, if Brother Dong encounters trouble in the future, there will definitely be someone rushing ahead with their heads up without you opening your mouth!"
At the end, Xie Jiang hesitated, "This time the trouble is not small. Even if Brother Dong can help me solve it smoothly, I won't be able to show my face for a while, so..."
Before Xie Jiang could finish speaking, Sophie nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, leave Xie Shan to me, I will take care of her as my own sister!"
At this point in the topic, both of them remained silent in tacit agreement.
Sophie stood up and walked slowly out of the hall.
Just when her palm was about to touch the door handle, a voice suddenly came from behind her.
The speaker was Xie Jiang, "Sister-in-law!"
Although there were only two words, Sophie stopped in her tracks, and her face, which had been calm just now, suddenly became a little more volatile!
Sophie resisted and did not look back, because she knew that Xie Jiang had other things to say.
Xie Jiang said, "I don't like to say thank you. Regarding the car accident, I, Xie Jiang, did not do it justice. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely explain it to you!"
"My sister, please don't bother me!"
Sophie's tone also softened, "I understand!"
"No matter what you want to do, come back soon!"
Half an hour later.
Several commercial vehicles left the funeral home one after another and went straight to Xie's house.
Although many secret sentries were withdrawn outside the gate of the funeral home, as these vehicles left, several cars followed them secretly.
On the other side, Feng Tang also left the funeral parlor at the same time.
The window was lowered, the driver handed over the key card, and he left without any hindrance.
Although there were only two people in the car, Feng Tang still wiped his forehead fearfully.
The person driving the car was none other than Xie Jiang. No one would have thought that the troublesome person they had been searching for all day long was in his car!
And he left the funeral parlor in a dignified manner!
The car drove quickly and arrived at a secluded villa arranged by Feng Tang in advance.
A few years ago, Feng Tang purchased this place in the name of his parents, not in his own name. No one knew about it except his family.
When the car arrived at the place, Feng Tang slowly let go of his worries, "Mr. Xie, the environment is not very good, but it is quieter. Usually no one comes here, so I will aggrieve you first."
"Just stay here for a few days. I'll bring you some food later. There's drinking water in it. It'll last a week."
"Don't worry, no one here knows except me."
"If you need anything, please call me anytime and I will deliver it to you personally. I will never leave it to someone else!"
