Chapter 14 - The Old Man's Scheme

Yu Huiyin could not hear the voice on the other end of the phone, and she had no intention of listening in on his conversation, so she strolled into the walk-in closet where she found clothes for any occasion suitable for her in the closet, just as Xie Jingyu had promised.

She found that many of the clothes were casual wear, jeans, and t-shirts, but there was also official work attire, which she would need to wear when going to work with him in the future.

There were even evening gowns, and she could not help but feel a little confused. When had he had the time to prepare all of this? Although the clothes seemed simple, the quality was top-notch. It could not have been cheap.

Yu Huiyin had never been one who focused much on the news, she was unaware of who Xie Jingyu actually was, but anyone with a bit of knowledge about the current society knew him.

Being from the slumps and knowing that she would never reach the rich people's lives, Yu Huiyin had never bothered trying to understand the upper levels of society, but now she was starting to regret it.

She was quite curious about her newly found husband.

She had no access to the internet and had no phone, so it was impossible for her to read up on him as well. For now, all she could do was go with the flow.

Sighing, she went back out of the closet, only to see that Xie Jingyu had finished his call, his expression somewhat confused.

"Is everything okay?" Yu Huiyin asked puzzled, she had never seen him confused before, but she figured that he was also human, so it made sense that he too sometimes would be confused about things.

"The Old Man said that he had a surprise for me too," he said as he looked at Yu Huiyin. He narrowed his eyes as he knew his grandfather well. It could not be a good thing that he was planning.

Last time, he had sent him to South Africa to oversee some projects because he was displeased with him not having found a wife, so he sent him as far away as he possibly could.

If he was planning something similar this time, was it going to be considered a honeymoon for him and Huiyin?

Sighing, he just hoped that the old man would be pleased now that he brought a wife back with him. He had always wanted Xie Jingyu to marry. He did not care about the background of the woman as long as she was liked by his grandson, but now Xie Jingyu was worried if Yu Huiyin could handle the old man's personality. He did not want to scare her away already.

Fortunately, they were already married. Getting away from him would be immensely hard, as long as he did not do anything wrong to her.

The pair went to the garage, where Xie Jingyu picked a new sports car from Bugatti, and like a gentleman, he opened the door for Yu Huiyin.

Yu Huiyin was not as hostile towards Xie Jingyu as before, but she was not friendly towards him either, so she just snorted and entered the car.

Seeing her stubbornness, a bit of affection flashed past Xie Jingyu's eyes, but it vanished before anyone even managed to see it.

Xie Jingyu went to the front seat and began driving the car to another district.

The district they arrived at was named Mulberry Garden, and while it was not as upscale as the district where Xie Jingyu lived. The Heavenward District was somewhat new and filled with magnificent mansions, while the Mulberry Garden was from the original capital. All the buildings here were old but well maintained.

They drove to the center of the district where an old mansion was located. It had a big gate and walls surrounding it, but currently, the gate was open.

A guard was standing in the doorway, waiting for Xie Jingyu, but when he saw that there was a woman in the car, his eyes turned strange, and he could not help but wonder how the grandfather would react. This was not the best situation to bring a woman back in.

The guard was nervous, and Xie Jingyu instantly noticed his nervousness. His mood turned dark. What had his old man planned?

As they drove to the front door, his mood turned increasingly agitated. He saw numerous cars with drivers waiting outside the mansion, and when he parked and let Yu Huiyin out, the drivers gave her glares from far away. It was clear that they were hostile towards her.

Yu Huiyin could also feel their enmity, so she could not help but touch her nose embarrassedly. She had not done anything, had she?

Little did she know that the 'Old Man' had planned for Xie Jingyu to find a woman now. He was not going to wait any longer, so he had decided to hold a matchmaking party.

Right now, the foyer of the mansion was full of women dressed in their most outstanding getup; they were wearing beautiful clothes, jewelry, and delicate make-up.

All of them straightened their backs as they looked at the door as it swung open and let Xie Jingyu enter.

Their faces held flattering smiles, their feet almost rushing to his side to be noticed, but it did not take them long to see that a woman was walking by his side.

Her hand was casually resting on his arm, and she was not dressed up as the many women in the foyer were, but her demeanor and beauty could not be covered up. She was simply an otherworldly fairy!
