Chapter 523 [Old 9 Gates 2]
With a low engine sound, a black car slowly approached the entrance of Xie's house. The engine sound gradually weakened and finally disappeared, and the tires rubbed against the ground and made a slight sound. Then, the door was gently pushed open, and a tall and elegant woman walked out of the car.
She was wearing a green cheongsam, which was tailored to fit her body perfectly, outlining her slender waist and long legs. The design of this cheongsam was unique and exquisite, with a slightly open neckline, revealing her fair skin and graceful neck line. The dress was embroidered with exquisite patterns, and delicate silk threads intertwined into beautiful patterns, adding a touch of classical charm. She was holding a small and exquisite pearl bag in her hand, which was shining with a faint luster, complementing her cheongsam.
Then, another woman got out of the car. She was wearing a white cheongsam, as pure as white snowflakes, and also showed an elegant temperament. The white fabric gave people a fresh and pure feeling, just like the pear blossoms blooming in spring, exuding a faint fragrance. The cheongsam was tailored just right, fitting the body curves and highlighting the feminine figure. The neckline design was exquisite, revealing the fair skin and slender neck line, adding a sexy charm.
Her hair was neatly combed, smooth as silk, and gently brushed across her shoulders. A small white flower dotted her hair, echoing the color of her cheongsam, making her look particularly fresh and elegant. Her face was made up with light makeup, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, her eyes bright and spirited, and her lips painted with light pink lipstick, exuding a charming luster. Her beauty and confidence made people fall in love with her.
Master Xie Jiu looked at the woman in the green cheongsam in front of him, his eyes lit up, he quickly walked up to her and hugged her tightly, saying excitedly: "Youyou! It's been a long time since we last met. You are so beautiful now, even I almost didn't recognize you. If it wasn't because you look so much like mother, I'm afraid I wouldn't be sure that this beautiful woman in front of me is my biological sister!"
Youyou smiled mischievously and said, "Brother, you are really good at talking! But I have always remembered what you looked like, but I didn't expect that you wouldn't even recognize me."
Master Xie Jiu also laughed. He patted Youyou's shoulder and said with emotion: "It's not that I'm deliberately not recognizing you. It's because you are so beautiful. I can't believe that such a beautiful girl is my sister." As he spoke, he looked at Youyou's face carefully, his eyes full of pride.
"Brother, you just know how to tease me. You haven't brought me a sister-in-law in all these years." Youyou said with a smile, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
Master Xie Jiu shook his head helplessly: "Didn't I meet your brother?"
Youyou blinked and asked curiously, "I remember when we were little, didn't you like Huo Sanniang? Why didn't you two get together?"
Master Xie Jiu was slightly startled, then he laughed and scolded: "How did you know that your brother likes Sanniang? How come I don't know?"
Youyou frowned and recalled: "Isn't it? When you were a child, you always liked to attract the attention of the Huo family sister. You always appeared in front of her to make her notice you. Also, you would secretly give her some small gifts!"
Master Xie Jiu was at a loss for words and explained, "That was just a joke between kids. Don't think too much about it."
Youyou asked unwillingly, "Really? But I think you are very special to Sister Huo, better than other girls."
Master Xie Jiu sighed and said seriously: "I've already said that your sister from the Huo family and I are just friends. There is no such thing as liking or disliking each other. We grew up together and are familiar with each other, so naturally there will be more interactions. But this doesn't mean that I have any special feelings for her."
In fact, Xie Jiuye knew that he had liked Huo Jinxi before, but that was a thing of the past. Now, they each had different life trajectories, and the feelings they had when they were young had long faded.
"Well, I thought that after so many years, your relationship with Sister Huo should have deepened. I didn't expect that you, brother, are still useless. You haven't won Sister Huo's heart after such a long time." Youyou said with a sigh.
Hearing this, Master Xie Jiu's face turned a little awkward, but he quickly regained his composure, gently patted Youyou's head, and scolded with a smile: "You stinky girl, you are really becoming more and more disrespectful."
Youyou stuck out her tongue playfully, then looked at the woman in white. The woman had been standing there quietly, watching the two siblings bickering like two children, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but slightly rise, revealing a hint of a smile.
Mr. Xie Jiu also noticed the presence of the woman in white. He coughed, cleared his throat, then turned to Youyou and asked, "Youyou, who is this?"
Youyou immediately hugged the woman in white and happily introduced her, "This is my best friend. She is an orphan named Lin Yueyue. She is the friend I brought to study in the UK."
Master Xie Jiu frowned and asked in confusion: "Why didn't I know that you brought someone with you when you went to study in the UK?"
"I bought this from someone. This girl was almost sold, and then I rescued her. After that, I took her to England and changed her name. Her original name was Yatou, but I didn't think it sounded nice, so I changed it to Lin Yueyue." Youyou said.
"Hello, Miss Lin." Mr. Xie Jiu looked at the girl in front of him who seemed a little shy and greeted her politely.
"Hello, Mr. Xie." Lin Yueyue (the girl) responded with a polite nod.
"Yueyue, just call me brother, don't thank me Mr. Xie." Youyou smiled and patted Lin Yueyue's shoulder and said to her.
"What should I do?" Lin Yueyue scratched her head embarrassedly and smiled shyly.
"Of course, you and Youyou are good friends. In that case, you can follow Youyou and call me brother." Master Xie Jiu looked at Lin Yueyue with a smile, his eyes revealing gentleness and kindness.
Lin Yueyue looked at Youyou, then at Master Jiu, and seemed to be hesitating whether to follow their advice. Finally, she whispered, "Youyou told me that you are the ninth among the Nine Sects. In that case, I'll call you Master Jiu."
"That's fine. It's up to you." Mr. Xie Jiu did not insist on her changing her name, but respected her decision. He knew that it would take time for a girl he had just met to adapt to a new environment. As long as she felt comfortable here, that was the most important thing.
"Brother, I'll take Yueyue to clean up first." Youyou said, holding Yueyue's hand.
"Okay, then you guys go. Remember to come over for dinner later. I've prepared your favorite food. I don't know if your taste has changed over the years." Master Xie Jiu said, looking at his sister.
"Of course it hasn't changed." Youyou said with a smile.
Mr. Xie Jiu nodded, then turned and left.
Youyou brought Yueyue to a room. The room was warmly decorated with a big bed and some simple furniture.
"This is where you live, what do you think?" Youyou asked.
"It's very good and looks very comfortable." Yueyue replied.
"That's good. You take a rest first. I'll call you when it's time for dinner." Youyou said.
"Okay, thank you Youyou." Yueyue said.
Youyou smiled, then walked out of the room, leaving Yueyue alone.
