Chapter 154: A Jealous Fu Jingcheng.

Ruan Liuzheng lowered her eyes slightly, her cold gaze fixed on her feet. A dark, almost indiscernible emotion lingered in them.

Xie Qingcen curled his lips and said softly, "Because today is the perfect day. Liuzheng, don't you want to see those two siblings suffer?"

He raised his eyebrows, his handsome features softening slightly in the dim light, but his eyes were filled with determination.

Ruan Liuzheng's gaze paused.

She unconsciously pursed her lips, the feelings she had suppressed surfacing once again, threatening to become uncontrollable. She

had been bullied by the Fu family for so long, especially by Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing, the invisible and visible violence both cold and hot. Every instance was etched in her memory.

After leaving the Fu family, she lacked the ability, so she could only endure it. But now…

Ruan Liuzheng's eyebrows flickered slightly, a barely perceptible glint of white in her eyes.

Xie Qingcen was really good at reading people's minds, and his words really touched her heart.

Logically speaking, whether she was recognized by the Xie family or not, she should be the aunt of Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing.

However, she seemed to have never heard of it.

She raised her eyebrows, "Do your parents know that you are plotting against your own nephew behind their back?"

Xie Qingcen suddenly chuckled twice, his delicate eyebrows slowly relaxed, and he opened his lips and said, "What kind of nephews are they? Don't worry, they won't be able to stay in the Xie family for long." "

It's just that there are some things that need their help now. As long as their value is realized, there will be no place for them in the Xie family."

He raised his chin slightly, his eyebrows were indifferent, and his tone was calm as if he was talking about the scenery outside the window.

Although he was talking about Fu Yanci and his sister, there was no trace of Fu Yanci and his sister in his eyes, as if he had no feelings for them at all.

But isn't that exactly the case? It's just that Ruan Liuzheng didn't know.

Ruan Liuzheng's eyes flickered with suspicion for a moment. She pursed her lips slightly, her cool almond-shaped eyes flickering slightly, but she ultimately said nothing.

After all, Xie Qingcen's answer was already perfect, and every word touched her heart. There was really no point in continuing the conversation.

Why waste time?

Ruan Liuzheng's frown slowly relaxed as she thought it through. However, before she could make the next move, Fu Jingcheng, who had been ignored for a long time, immediately revealed his temper.

He pouted in dissatisfaction, and his big black grape-like eyes would occasionally glance at Ruan Liuzheng, just to see when Ruan Liuzheng would actually remember him in front of Xie Qingcen!

Even at his precocious age, he was only a five-year-old.

In front of outsiders, especially someone who had just become his stepfather, he couldn't help but reveal his childish side.

The jealousy in his heart couldn't help but emerge, almost instantly filling his heart and flowing through his blood to every part of his body.

Fu Jingcheng bit his lower lip unconsciously, his fair and delicate face full of grievance.

He pursed his lips, "Mom..."

Ruan Liuzheng was slightly startled when she heard the voice. After being reminded, she remembered the existence of Fu Jingcheng.

A hint of annoyance flashed in her cold almond eyes.

She reached out and picked up Fu Jingcheng from beside Xie Qingcen, her eyebrows and eyes gentle, "Why are you still throwing a tantrum? Tell mom, did I do something wrong to make our Chengcheng angry?"

Fu Jingcheng hugged Ruan Liuzheng's neck with both hands, and he snorted softly, "As soon as you got in the car, you only had Dad in your eyes, and ignored Chengcheng."

"Mom, don't you like Chengcheng anymore?"

Ruan Liuzheng smiled lightly, and a hint of helplessness flashed across her beautiful eyebrows.

She comforted him softly, "Chengcheng, you must remember, no matter who mom marries, you will always be the most important one in my heart. You are mom's forever baby. It was mom's fault for ignoring you just now. But mom didn't mean it. Can you understand mom?"

Fu Jingcheng raised his head from Ruan Liuzheng's arms, licked his lips, and his big eyes like black grapes were surrounded by a red circle.

He looked at Ruan Liuzheng quietly for a long while before slowly nodding, "Mom is talking to Dad. Mom told me that children should not interrupt when adults are talking. So, Mom didn't ignore Chengcheng, right?"

Ruan Liuzheng smiled. She couldn't help but kiss Fu Jingcheng's fair and tender cheeks, her eyes bright. "Yes, Chengcheng is so good. Mom may be a little busy recently, and I may have neglected Chengcheng unknowingly. But Mom promises that I will definitely try my best to make time to accompany Chengcheng in the future, okay?"

The uneasiness and uneasiness in Fu Jingcheng's eyes gradually dissipated, and he nodded vigorously, "Yeah, okay!"

Xie Qingcen sat aside with a faint smile on the corner of his lips. He watched the mother and son talk quietly, without saying a word or interrupting.

When he saw that the mother and son were reconciled, the smile on the corner of his lips slowly widened.

There was a tenderness in his dark phoenix eyes that he himself had not even noticed.

...

A jet-black Rolls-Royce Phantom came to a precise stop outside an antique mansion.

Like the Fu family's old house, the Xie family's residence was also built halfway up a mountain, though slightly further from the city center.

It had the air of a reclusive family.

And most importantly, compared to the Fu family's, the Xie family's residence possessed a touch of heritage accumulated over generations, a

legacy unmatched by many families in Yuncheng.

Ruan Liuzheng was immediately struck by the Xie residence's uniqueness the moment she entered.

Not only in its location, but also in the layout of the courtyard.

Understated yet luxurious, elegant yet noble—this was the true essence of a wealthy and powerful family.

Before meeting Xie Qingcen, she had heard of the Xie family, but only as a prominent family in Yuncheng, with a centuries-old legacy.

Their power was unmatched by ordinary aristocratic families.

Seeing them in person, she realized that the rumors were not exaggerated, but rather underestimated them.

Xie Qingcen got out of the car from the other side, holding Fu Jingcheng. He walked around the front of the car and came to Ruan Liuzheng's side, his dark eyes slightly lowered, "Let's go in."

Ruan Liuzheng came back to her senses, raised her eyebrows, nodded and said, "Yeah."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, a gentle and refined man walked out of the house in front of them. There were wrinkles on his face, old but very gentle.

Judging from his appearance, he should be the housekeeper of the Xie family.

Sure enough, as soon as he approached, Xie Qingcen spoke familiarly, his clear voice containing a hint of respect, "Uncle Wang, why are you out?"
