I’ve heard that CEOs like those of Gree and Hisense have already beco their own advertising spokespersons, right? The effect is just as good as if a celebrity did it.
Xiao Yebai’s nonsense was, according to their thinking, ant for only one purpose—to bluff, completely unreliable!
Xiao Shuzhu turned to look at her two older sisters, "Did Yebai talk to you about this?"
"Talk about what?" Xiao Shuju said quickly, "When has anything he said ever been trustworthy? Who can take his words for truth?"
At this, Grandma Xiao was stunned.
Xiao Yebai indeed raised his eyebrows and asked his third sister, "Third sis, have I ever lied?"
Xiao Shuju blinked rapidly, "Well, well, can’t say you haven’t, right?"
"Third sis, you need evidence to speak, otherwise, you can’t just accuse your brother of a cri," said Xiao Yebai, "I only rember, once, when we were kids and you lied about going to tutoring—I told Dad you were off to see a movie with your boyfriend. You turned around and wanted to beat , and Dad said to you then, one must not lie."
Xiao Shuju’s face imdiately turned the color of a green vegetable. In front of so many guests, she bit her lip in anger and said with grievance, "When did this ever happen? I certainly don’t rember it."
Only the Xiao family knew very well that Xiao Shuju definitely had lied before, and she was the best liar of them all.
Not to ntion distant matters, Xiao Shulan rembered when Lin Jiale did the outrageous deed of trying to embezzle her father-in-law’s project, Xiao Shuju acted as if she was very wronged and claid she knew nothing about it.
Frankly, although Xiao Shuju seed carefree and foolish on the surface, the Xiao family really wasn’t sure whether she was actually foolish or not.
With that said, it beca very clear to everyone, Xiao Yebai, indeed, was the one who never lied.
Really!
Truly!
The sole heir to the Changda legacy, the Xiao family’s only son, had gotten married a month ago.
Not just the Xiao family, but the hall full of invited guests instantly erupted into an endless buzz of shock.
Grandma Xiao found it almost impossible to save face. This was an absolute farce!
Her own grandson had declared his marriage to the outside world, and yet, amusingly, his family turned her celebratory feast almost into a matchmaking event. How could she apologize to the families of the female guests that had been invited?
Grandma Xiao forcefully tapped the teacup lid against the rim a couple of tis and said, "You say you’re married, why have I never heard of this?"
"Grandma, I’ve announced it publicly. It’s known to everyone outside, don’t you know?"
"I don’t go online."
"But my second and third sisters visit you often, don’t they?"
It was indeed the case. If this was true, Xiao Shulan and Xiao Shuju had knowingly made a fool of their grandmother, causing her to lose face. It was important to note that so of the female candidates for matchmaking present today had been recomnded by Xiao Shulan and Xiao Shuju themselves.
Xiao Shulan and Xiao Shuju saw the old lady’s blaming gaze shooting their way, and feeling secretly aggrieved, they quickly clarified, "No, he didn’t tell us, really he didn’t!"
"But he said everyone outside knew, how could you not know?"
This was a line of reasoning that simply could not be contested.
"Grandma, don’t you know he never speaks seriously, who would take him at his word?" Xiao Shuju yelled.
"He’s your brother, and every word he says is more truthful and less deceitful than yours, you’re saying you don’t believe him?"
Xiao Shuju was rendered speechless by the old lady’s questioning, once again. She couldn’t very well say she hadn’t cared about or understood her younger brother.
Would she really say in front of all these outsiders that they weren’t close as siblings?
