Tomb Raider: The Saint of Wanjiang and Her Guardians

Chapter 5: The Xie Family is Poor (Edited)

Xie Yuchen helped her put on her shoes, took the French distilled gold from her hand, and touched her head: "Why are you so easy to deceive? You gave me a candied haws?"

Xie Jia looked at the Fa Liujin in Xie Yuchen's hand, and explained to Chi Gu with a little emotion: "The things auctioned by the Crescent Hotel are all rare things, like your things from thousands of years ago, which are antiques now." Then Xie Jia explained to Chi Gu a series of currencies and values ​​in a very considerate way. Although Chi Gu did not respond to him, she kept looking at him. Xie Jia knew that she was listening!

The next day, Xie Yuchen found a waiter, who was wrapped tightly in a black suit, wearing gloves on his hands, and his hair was tied into a high ponytail.

"She will be responsible for your daily life from now on. Let her follow you and protect you when you go out."

Xie Yuchen looked at her gently. The little girl must be curious when she first arrived, and she might be deceived if she didn’t bring someone with her.

The woman was 175cm tall, and Chi Gu was only 155cm tall, so it was difficult for him to look at her.

"Hello, Miss. I'm Xie Xiang. You can call me Ah Xiang. You can tell me anything you need."

The Xie family's subordinates are different from waiters. The subordinates are trained since childhood and given the family surname, while the waiters work based on their own abilities.

Xie Xiang was the one who had been to the Wanjiang Ancient Tomb and eaten the Heart-Breaking Gu, so it was most appropriate for her to follow. Moreover, among all the people at that time, she was the only one who survived to the end, which also proved her strength.

Xie Xiang changed Chi Gu into a white tube-top knee-length skirt, without complicated patterns, but with some bumpy textures. She still had bells on her hands and feet because Xie Xiang asked about it. They couldn't be taken off. She wore them when she was a child, but as her bones grew bigger, she couldn't take them off. She still wore a circle of silver ornaments around her neck as decoration, and her waist-length black hair was tied up with a silver hairpin.

"Miss, you are so beautiful."

Chi Gu was stunned: "Thank...thank you"

Chi Gu is beautiful. When Xie Xiang first saw her, she was pale as if she was seriously ill due to years of not seeing the light of day. But now, she has a hint of blood color on her small face, which is the size of a palm. Her eyes are big but lifeless, or more accurately, ignorant. There is a hint of blood color on her mouth. It is obvious that Chi Gu is not the gentle type, but rather distant and beautiful.

After going out, Xiaohua took out a pair of white furry slippers for her to wear. In fact, he thought that the pair of high heels looked better, but the girl's feet were not healed yet, and high heels would rub her feet.

After arriving at the Crescent Hotel, they were invited to Room 6. Chi Gu picked up the menu and ordered some pastries based on the recommendations of Xie Xiang and the waiter. After a while, a waiter came over and nodded respectfully: "Master Huaer, Master Wujia is here too."

Xie Yuchen walked to the edge and looked down, and saw Wuxie below. Seeing them looking at the menu in worry, Chi Gu came over and asked in surprise: "Wujia?"

Xie Jia nodded: "The Wu family is the fifth most prominent family among the Nine Gates, and they are old friends of the Xie family."

Chi Gu followed Xie Yuchen's gaze and looked down: "Xie Yuchen... Is the ninth of the Xie family very poor?"

Xie Yuchen's body froze, and he could hardly maintain his expression. He looked at the innocent Chi Gu in shock, and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Didn't your assistant Xiaojia talk about antiques yesterday? I have a lot of them. If you don't have money, tell me..." Chi Gu nodded secretly. She couldn't eat and drink for free.

Xie Yuchen laughed. It was the first time he laughed out of anger. “Okay, you support me when I run out of money.”

Xie Yuchen touched Chi Gu's head. Ever since Chi Gu appeared, he also developed the habit of wearing gloves: "Let's go, go down and say hello to our old friend. Also, Xiao Gu, you are my sister now...you have to call me brother."

Chi Gu frowned: "You are not my brother."

Xie Yuchen sighed helplessly: "Then you can call me Brother Xiaohua, my nickname is Xie Yuhua."

Chi Gu nodded and followed Xie Yuchen downstairs. Xie Xiang behind her was holding a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake for her. She realized that her young lady would not eat if she had nothing to eat! If she had something to eat, she would keep eating. She still had to bring it with her, after all, the young lady would not complain of hunger now...
