Chapter 739 Know the Xie Family Incisively
Uncle Lu and Xie Zhuolian communicate for a long time and they are finally on the same page.
After figuring out Uncle Lu’s worry, Xie Zhuolian chuckles.
“Uncle Lu, rest assured. I did make the offer to Gao Ge but he rejected it with determination. He didn’t give me any chance of persuasion.”
Uncle Lu would feel disappointed to hear so before this. After all, Gao Ge’s refusal means they fail the mission.
Now, the situation is different.
Uncle Lu feels so relieved to gain such a result. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to explain it to the Xie Family and Gao Ge. At that time, he and Xie Zhuolian will be really embarrassed. It is a good thing that Gao Ge’s stand is firm enough and he doesn’t have to face that kind of situation.
“Well, based on what you said, it seems that my family doesn’t want Gao Ge to join the Xie Family?” Xie Zhuolian asks.
She has seen Uncle Lu’s previous reaction. Of course, she feels a bit strange.
Uncle Lu coughs and explains, “Master and the others are unwilling to take the opposite stance from the Dragon Court for Gao Ge.”
“The opposite stance from the Dragon Court?” Xie Zhuolian is a bit confused.
What does he mean?
“Ahem. Your Ladyship, you’ve heard what Heaven Dragon said. He wants to get rid of Gao Ge through us. Did you agree to his request?”
Xie Zhuolian was a bit confused but when she hears that, she immediately comes to her senses. She feels angry and amused.
It turns out that the Xie Family doesn’t want Gao Ge to join them for fear that they may offend the Dragon Court for this matter.

She didn’t want to find Gao Ge but they just forced her to talk him into joining the Xie Family, saying that it was for protecting Gao Ge.
Now?
They mistakenly think the Dragon Court wants to get rid of Gao Ge so they just change their mind.
Although she is a member of the Xie Family, she still feels that the Xie Family’s flip-flopping is so shameful.
Hence, Xie Zhuolian also makes up her mind.
Since the Xie Family has misunderstood Gao Ge, she will let the misunderstanding be. After all, Gao Ge doesn’t want to join the Xie Family. In this case, Gao Ge and she can both be free from trouble. This is a win-win outcome.
“By the way, Your Ladyship, Master asks us to go back as soon as possible,” Uncle Lu says.
They come out this time only to rope in Gao Ge.
Currently, the mission can’t be completed so they don’t have to stay outside.
“Not for now.” Xie Zhuolian shakes her head.
“Oh? Do you have other things to do?” Uncle Lu asks curiously.
“Yeah, I agree to do something for Lord Heaven Dragon,” Xie Zhuolian says calmly.
Uncle Lu pulls a long face and says, “Is it to help Lord Heaven Dragon deal with Gao Ge? Your Ladyship, although the Xie Family and the Dragon Court are on good terms, I don’t think you should accept this thankless task. It is fine that they can deal with Gao Ge. However, if they can’t, Gao Ge will harbor a grudge against us. Maybe he will even seek revenge on us. Something bad may happen. The loss really outweighs the gain…”
When she hears Uncle Lu out, Xie Zhuolian’s face has already turned dark with rage.
She thought that the Xie Family was shilly-shallying over the matter of Gao Ge but now, she realizes that she is wrong.
They always hold an attitude of fence-sitting even to the Dragon Court which they are always on good terms with. They just hope to be at peace with the Dragon Court.
Xie Zhuolian feels a bit ashamed.
“Okay. Uncle Lu, enough. If you are in a hurry, you can go back first. When I finish my work here, I will go back on my own,” Xie Zhuolian says in a deep voice.
Uncle Lu can certainly feel the disgruntlement of Xie Zhuolian. He heaves a sigh and says, “Your Ladyship, I just think that we should be worldly-wise and play safe… This is not a trivial matter. If it is found out by the seniors of the family, they will surely ask you to go back as soon as possible.”
Xie Zhuolian doesn’t speak but puckers her lips.
Uncle Lu also knows that he cannot change Xie Zhuolian’s attitude by a few words so he can’t be bothered to continue talking.
“I need to ask for instruction,” Uncle Lu says.
Xie Zhuolian nods her head.
Actually, she understands Uncle Lu’s concern.
This time, Uncle Lu’s mission is to protect her but they actually rarely mingle when they are at home. Now, they are talking about some big issues. Of course, Uncle Lu is unwilling to take any responsibility.
Uncle Lu walks aside with his phone and makes a call that lasts five or six minutes before coming back.
“Your request has been rejected. Your Ladyship, please don’t make it difficult for me,” Uncle Lu sighs and says.
“I have promised Lord Heaven Dragon. Do you think I can just walk away now?” Xie Zhuolian asks with a bitter smile.
“Well, the seniors also know about it so, Your Ladyship, what you do for the Dragon Court has nothing to do with the Xie Family. And now I also need to go back,” Uncle Lu says.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXie Zhuolian is a bit startled.
“That is to say, my family is going to leave me alone?”
Uncle Lu is also quite awkward. He nods his head but in case that Xie Zhuolian may feel sad, he hastens to say, “I think Master and the others just hope to push you to go back in this way.”
Xie Zhuolian just shakes her head with a bitter smile, “Forget about it. My grandpa and the others are simply worried that I may bring trouble for the Xie Family.”
Although Xie Zhuolian’s words sound quite harsh, Uncle Lu is clear that her words are to the point.
Having stayed in the Xie Family for so many years, he knows well what the family thinks and how they act.
Therefore, he is not surprised at Xie Jue’s words on the phone.
“Your Ladyship, I’ll go back then. Anyway, you are safe in the Dragon Court. The people here will surely protect you well,” Uncle Lu adds.
Xie Zhuolian is terribly upset. She nods her head and waves her hand, signaling to him to leave now.
After Uncle Lu leaves, Xie Zhuolian finally heaves a long sigh.
“What? Are you feeling sad to hear that?” Heaven Dragon’s voice suddenly comes from behind.
“Lord Heaven Dragon.” Xie Zhuolian turns around.
Heaven Dragon laughs and says, “That’s the style of the Xie Family. Don’t be too surprised. Otherwise, the Xie Family couldn’t get along with the Dragon Court.”
Xie Zhuolian says with a bitter smile, “You are right.”
“Actually, it is not your grandpa’s fault. The Xie Family is not a person but a family. Whatever they do, they must think in the best interests of the family,” Heaven Dragon continues saying.
Even if Xie Zhuolian knows Heaven Dragon is comforting her but she still nods her head to indicate that she has got the point.
“I will arrange a house for you to settle down for now. When your job is over here, I will send you back. I can guarantee you that those people won’t say a word to you. They will even praise you,” Heaven Dragon says laughingly.
He has known the Xie Family incisively.
