Chapter 622: Chapter 627: Have you not come to pay your respects to Young Madam yet?
At a glance, there are tens of thousands of books.
Ran Xiangsi couldn’t help but exclaim, "Has he read all these books?"
So many books, who knows how many lonely nights it would take to read through them...
She casually selected a few books, most of which were related to finance and management.
But there were also some novels, including Sherlock Holmes detective novels.
Xiangsi smiled as she looked through them, "I thought he had a boring childhood, but he also loves reading novels!"
Actually, what Xiangsi didn’t know was that Xing Chen had no autonomy in choosing books during his childhood.
Most of these books were selected by his teachers and then placed here.
After looking at the bookshelf, she walked over to a giant desk.
The items on it were arranged very neatly and were spotless.
It seemed that servants came to clean every day...
Xiangsi found it amusing, picked up a novel, and sat in the place where Xing Chen once sat, flipping through the book and imagining what Xing Chen was like here.
Sunlight poured in from a giant floor-to-ceiling window, illuminating the figure of a handsome young man; it must have been very peaceful and beautiful, right?
She got tired halfway through the book, and with Xing Chen still not back, Xiangsi boredly wandered around the room before ending up at a stone table in the courtyard, drinking coffee alone and admiring the scenery.
As the family’s only young master, Xing Chen’s residence was predictably luxurious.
The flowers and plants in the courtyard were all rare and precious species, with some of them worth millions...
Drinking coffee, Xiangsi felt a strange sense of amazement.
Had she landed herself a rich husband?
Back in A City, she hadn’t thought so, but now in the Southern Federation, she realized Xing Chen’s prestigious status.
Given her own background, she wondered if she was qualified to stand by his side.
Just as she was thinking this, stirring her coffee, she heard a conversation not far behind her.
It was in English, but fortunately, Xiangsi found it easy to understand.
"Did you hear? The young master brought back a foreign woman, a Xuan Country woman."
"I know. Madam instructed for the Xuan Country woman to sleep in the young master’s room, saying she is the Young Madam."
"It may not be certain if she is the Young Madam! Lucy said many coffees have already been sent to the master, and she overheard that the master and the young master are having a disagreement, seemingly disliking the mysterious Xuan Country woman. As we all know, our master is very particular about lineage, whether he will accept that woman is still uncertain!"
...
Ran Xiangsi froze, the coffee cup held awkwardly in her hand.
So Xing Chen hadn’t returned for so long because his father had summoned him?
Also, his father apparently didn’t like her...
Things seemed to be getting tricky.
As for those servants gossiping behind her back, Xiangsi didn’t pay them much attention; they were just talking and there was nothing to fuss about.
Little did Xiangsi know, the servant Rui’er behind her feared she was angry and immediately called over the three gossiping servants.
"Hey, what nonsense are you all talking about over there? Come over and greet the Young Madam!"
Rui’er was brought over from the Xiahou Family by Xiahou Xiu Yun. Though young, she closely followed Xiahou Xiu Yun’s instructions and was also a native of Xuan Country, naturally unable to stand by and watch Xiangsi being bullied.
