Chapter 689 Xie Yuchen (1)

"Xiaohua, come here."

The child with a delicate face and wearing a pink gown who was standing under the tree and trying to warm up her voice turned around.

"Second Grandpa?"

The old man in a red robe said to the girl standing beside him, "That's him, my disciple, Jie Yuhua."

The stern-looking girl observed the 8-year-old boy, walked up to him, and said solemnly: "I am Yun Ci. In the days to come, I will stay by your side to protect you."

Xie Yuchen immediately looked at Er Yuehong: "Second Grandfather? What is this?"

"This is a younger generation that your grandfather and I know. He is also the person your grandfather hired to protect you."

Xie Yuchen looked at Yun Ci. She looked to be no more than ten years old. How could he let such a harmless-looking girl accompany him to the Xie family which had become a mess?

Yun Ci saw Xie Yuchen's hesitation and took the initiative to say, "Your grandfather has already paid, but only for one year."

She said expressionlessly, "I will use this one year to see if I should renew the contract with you."

"By the way, even if you don't use me, I won't pay you back."

After saying this, Yun Ci's figure disappeared from their sight.

Xie Yuchen's pupils shrank, and he turned his head to look around, but he couldn't see Yun Ci.

“Isn’t that amazing?” Er Yuehong said with emotion, “I didn’t even see her leave. Even if we can’t be friends with such people, we can’t be enemies either.”

His eyes no longer had the turbulent emotions from before, and returned to silence: "I understand, Second Grandfather."

After the training that day, Xie Yuchen did not leave in a hurry, but shouted in the yard: "Yun Ci."

This time, Xie Yuchen still didn't see how Yun Ci moved. He just felt a flash before his eyes, and then Yun Ci appeared, carrying a big bag on her back.

The car that came to pick him up had already stopped outside the door. Xie Yuchen looked at Yun Ci and said, "Let's go."

Yun Ci looked at his small figure standing straight and took a step to follow him.

At this time, the Xie family had already made a fuss.

Several uncles of the Xie family died of illness one after another as if they were cursed.

After sending Xie Yuchen to Er Yuehong to learn martial arts, Master Xie Jiu also died a few days later.

In the huge Xie family, Xie Yuchen is the only male left.

Then, the women in the family started clamoring to split up the family and remarry.

There is actually not much left of the Xie family; it can be said to be an empty shell.

It was Xie Yuchen's mother who stood up, supported the Xie family, took over the trading platforms and chamber of commerce that belonged to the lower levels of the Xie family, and maintained the Xie family's external reputation.

Xie Yuchen had no choice but to put on the shell of "young boss".

"Yuchen."

A beautiful woman in cheongsam stood under the eaves, and her eyes met Yun Ci's through the rain that suddenly fell on the way back.

"Who is this?"

Xie Yuchen ran towards his mother in the rain.

"Grandpa hired..." Xie Yuchen paused, then said, "bodyguard."

Although Jie's mother didn't show anything, Yun Ci could see her fatigue through her eyes.

"I am Yunci."

Jie's mother looked at Yun Ci. She had just walked out of the rain like Jie Yuchen, but her clothes were not wet at all.

——Have strength.

"Welcome." Jie's mother said with a perfect smile, "Please come in and sit down."

Jie's mother lagged behind a few steps, told the servants to clean up the room, and then went inside.

Xie Yuchen had already sat down in his usual seat, and Yun Ci sat next to him, looking around the room as if studying something.

The servant served tea.

The quality of the tea was pretty good, and Yun Ci drank two more sips.

"This is the old tea cake that Jiu Ye collected when he was still alive. It seems to suit Miss Yun's taste." Mother Jie didn't know how much Yun Ci knew about the Jie family, so she continued, "Those people don't like these things, so there are still a lot of them left at home. If Miss Yun likes them, I'll have someone send some to your room."

"Aunt, just call me Yunci, or Xiaoci." Yunci said, "Master Jie Jiu and my master are friends, and you are also my elder, so just treat me as your own junior."

The smile on Jie's mother's face deepened, and she called out in agreement, "Xiao Ci."

But she didn't really treat her as her own junior as Yun Ci said.

It’s not that we’re not close, but that we can’t be close and it’s not suitable.

However, with the relationship as Jie Jiuye's friend, I can feel more at ease - provided that the relationship is real.

Mother Jie was full of thoughts in her mind, but she didn't show any of them on her face. She entertained Yun Ci in a measured manner.

They are juniors, but they are not one’s own juniors. Rather, they are juniors who need to be taken care of.

But Jie's mother did not reveal the "worship".

Yun Ci saw it, but didn't point it out. There was no point in explaining it too clearly at this time. People would not completely trust you just because you said "I am trustworthy".

Everything has to take time.

Yun Ci was willing to cooperate, and the two got along very well.

"Xiaoci, your room is here..."

Because Xie Yuchen said she was a bodyguard, Xie's mother deliberately arranged for Yunci's room to be next to Xie Yuchen's.

Jie's mother pushed open the door and said, "Come and see if you like it. If there's anything you don't like, I'll have someone change it."

"It's nice here, thank you auntie."

Mother Jie looked at Yun Ci and felt relieved only when she thought there was really no problem.

"Then I won't disturb your rest."

Yun Ci knew that Jie's mother and Jie Yuchen were probably going to have a private chat, so she didn't follow them out. Instead, she sat directly on the chair and gently rubbed her calves.

She was an orphan in this life and was adopted by an old man who lived alone in the mountains.

The old man was very skilled in martial arts and could use his internal strength. If he had not lived so long, Yun Ci would have really suspected that he might have some relationship with the Zhang family.

Yun Ci didn’t know how the old man whom she called grandpa knew Master Jie Jiu.

She met Master Jie Jiu when she was 5 years old. At that time, Yun Ci secretly added some spiritual liquid that could repair the human body into the tea, but she didn't expect that Master Jie Jiu still didn't survive the plot.

The second time Yun Ci met Master Jie Jiu was two years ago, when she was ten years old.

I don't know what the two old men whispered to each other that year. Since then, Grandpa Yun's training of Yun Ci has doubled.

Yun Ci gets up earlier than the chickens and goes to bed later than the dogs every day - but her strength has also increased dramatically.

And then this year.

Grandpa Yun received the letter, and then asked Yun Ci to pack up and go down the mountain to the Jie family to help him repay the favor.

Yun Ci didn't even know what kind of compensation Jie Jiuye had given her. If Jie Yuchen really didn't use her before, she really didn't know how to repay her.

'Boom thump—'

There was a knock on the door, and Yun Ci's thoughts were pulled away from her memories. She jumped to the door - it was a servant.

"Madam said that you have been busy all the time, so she specially asked us to prepare a bathtub and hot water for you to relax."

"Don't worry, the bathtub is new and no one has used it yet."

"Thank Auntie for me." Yun Ci said, "Please wait for me for a moment, I'll get some clean clothes--"
