The next day, after school, Xu Tianyi brought Luo Qianqian straight back to the Xu Family ho. Old Master Xu had just returned from visiting an old comrade in the south and was quite surprised to see his grandson: "Why are you back today? Isn’t it a boarding school?"
Xu Tianyi sneered, "If I hadn’t co back, I might have been married off without even knowing. Just because I don’t say anything doesn’t an I’m a pushover. Grandfather, if you can’t accommodate , it’s no problem for to leave. I’ll take grandma with , but from marriages to what color socks I wear, it’s not my second uncle’s place to decide!"
Old Master Xu frowned and unconsciously turned his gaze towards Xu Su. Seeing his sowhat evasive eyes, he was taken aback and bellowed, "What’s going on?"
Feeling guilty, Xu Su still straightened his back: "Dad, when Big Brother was not around, didn’t we agree that I would be in charge?"
"Haha, in charge?" Xu Tianyi took out his cellphone that had received various ssages today: "Selling personal information is illegal."
"You, a junior, should follow the arrangents made by your elders!" Xu Su glared slightly, then pointed at Luo Qianqian: "Fine, you’re back, but why did you bring soone Xiao Xiao dislikes?"
Luo Qianqian smiled: "Grandpa Xu, my grandfather asked to co and see you and to bring you so nutritional supplents." Seeing that the car stopped at a different place, Luo Qianqian knew what Xu Tianyi was going to do. She instantly sent a ssage to her grandmother and had the new housekeeper follow them with the nutritional supplents.
Feeling guilty, Xu Tianyi touched his nose, thankful that the Xu Family wasn’t too far from the Luo Family.
Old Master Xu nodded: "Good timing, I happen to have so special local products too. I’ll head back with you later."
Luo Qianqian nodded in agreent.
Xu Tianyi, seeing Luo Qianqian had explained her reason for coming, pursed his lips and started, "It’s not only because you’re just an uncle— even if you were my... father, in this day and age, you can’t force to do anything. Do you think such tenuous blood ties give you the right to make decisions for ?"
Xu Su was angered and embarrassed: "No descendant of the Xu Family acts like you. I really doubt whether you’re a child of the Xu Family!"
"I’ll say it again, we can do a paternity test. As for you, ask the person who gave birth to you," Xu Tianyi snorted coldly, tossing several photos of Xu Xiaoxiao onto the floor, "Continue to ss with my affairs without my consent, and I won’t hesitate to make these public. I have even more explosive material, if necessary!"
In the photos, Xu Xiaoxiao was in the so-called Brother Qiang’s arms, kissing him, her eyes glazed. If this were a scene from a TV drama, it would be truly imrsive acting.
"Oh, right. Speaking of which, I also have sothing here." Luo Qianqian opened her backpack, took out two photos, and threw them on the ground. The difference was that the male lead in each was different, but the female lead was the sa in both, even wearing the sa clothes. One was taken at noonti, and the other in the evening.
Xu Tianyi looked at the girl in the wheelchair in surprise. When had she taken these? How co he didn’t know?
Old Master Xu’s expression cooled as he looked at the two youngsters and at Xu Su, all of whom wore unkind expressions.
Picking up the photos, Xu Su rebuked them fiercely: "This kind of behavior is illegal. My Xiao Xiao would never!"
"Whether you believe it or not is your problem! But if I am harassed again by any more crazies, violent won, or girls who play around, these photos will end up on the school bulletin board! After being expelled from our school, will any other school in Capital City be willing to accept her?" Xu Tianyi said with a chuckle.
"You!" Xu Su clenched his teeth in anger.
Old Master Xu frowned slightly: "Enough Laoer, quit interfering in Tianyi’s matters, and deal with this imdiately." Then he turned to Xu Tianyi and Luo Qianqian: "Tianyi, it’s the sa for you. No need to make such a fuss within the family. No matter what, Xiao Xiao is your sister. Don’t take things too far."
Luo Qianqian showed slight surprise, but soon lowered her head and heard Xu Tianyi say, "Grandpa is right."
"Dad, I’ll listen to you," Xu Su said imdiately.
Luo Qianqian did not speak but felt sothing was odd.
After resolving the matter, Xu Tianyi imdiately took his leave, wanting to take Luo Qianqian away, and could only apologize for not staying at Old Master Xu’s insistence.
Once they left, Xu Su imdiately switched his deanor, "Dad, that little bastard..."
"Enough, manage your own brat. I have my ways with Xu Tianyi," Old Master Xu broke the ginseng in his hand into two, throwing it to the ground, "Stew it tonight, feed it to the dogs!"
"Yes..." Xu Su nodded.
On the other side, Xu Tianyi, who had left with Luo Qianqian, saw that no one was around and imdiately said, "Your grandpa is not truly kind to you either!"
"Keep your voice down." Xu Tianyi didn’t say much, looking at the Xu Family house nearby he felt tired and asked softly, "Tell , why isn’t your family like mine, full of scheming and backstabbing?"
Luo Qianqian blinked, "Maybe because we’re all doing what we like?"
Xu Tianyi looked at the back of Luo Qianqian’s head, "Is that so? Do you like it?"
Feeling a gaze upon her, Luo Qianqian gave a bitter smile. Of course, she didn’t like it now, but having made her choice, what else could she do? Her brother was still waiting for her.
"Maybe," Luo Qianqian replied after a long pause.
The two of them stopped talking, and the atmosphere beca very strange for a while.
Once they got ho, Yue Tingyu frowned as she looked at them, "What’s wrong? Did the Xu Family give you a hard ti?"
"Hmph, if they give you a hard ti, just don’t go back there! Go ahead and suffer," Old Master Luo scoffed coldly, pounding the coffee table, "Co and play chess with ."
Luo Qianqian looked at Xu Tianyi, "You go, I want to watch cartoons, The Big Windmill..."
The Big Windmill my foot, it’s already ti for the news broadcast.
Xu Tianyi nodded, letting Luo Qianqian stare blankly in front of the TV.
Luo Qianqian counted on her fingers; Xu Tianyi in the Xu Family had a heartless father and a stepmother who ignored him. For the sake of ’out of sight, out of mind,’ they even traveled all year round. Xu Su was the second son of the Xu Family, and his wife was from the Han Family; from the way the Han Family treated her, she knew full well. Speaking of which, the Han Family also had Han Lei, soone who could be considered a friend. Xu Xiaoxiao was even more dismissive of Xu Tianyi; she hated him to the point of wanting him out of the picture as soon as possible, constantly referring to him as a ’little bastard,’ wishing the whole world knew about it. These were the people of the Xu Family she knew about, and according to what Luo Xiying said, there should also be a third son in the Xu Family, who never appeared; the public statent was that he died of illness during his teenage years, but in her mory, there was no such person.
The Xu Family seed simple, but as soon as you stepped through the door, it felt like being watched by a snake, hair standing on end, sweating profusely; decidedly not a good sort.
Especially after today. Old Master Xu seed to be helping Xu Tianyi out of a tough spot, but what he conveyed was that you’re also a mber of the Xu Family, Xu Xiaoxiao is a mber of the Xu Family, and harming Xu Xiaoxiao ans harming the Xu Family. As for Xu Su, he didn’t provide any solution nor set a tiline; even if Xu Tianyi continued to be harassed, he could only say that so people weren’t invited by him; they were brought by Xu Tianyi’s own doing, attracting unwanted attention.
Looking at Xu Tianyi, who was seriously playing chess, Luo Qianqian bit her lower lip. Did this man know, or was he being kept in the dark? Did he see through the Xu Family’s attitude toward him?
