However, he couldn’t help but feel that if the Wen Family were willing to help Luo Zhenggang, would today have turned out like this? Thinking it over, the answer was clear: they certainly were not well-regarded by the Wen Family!
His son had ntioned this possibility, but until things were made clear, it was best to show so respect towards the other party, yet also maintain a certain distance, so as not to seem too eager to please.
At ho, he had thought of how to interact with the other party, but upon eting face-to-face, he couldn’t help the sourness rising in his heart, wanting to suppress the other party in every aspect.
Seeing Mr. Liu with a troubled expression, Grandpa Luo waved his hand with a smile: "Ever since we were young, you’ve always tried to one-up , that ’brother’ title, I’ve given up on it in this lifeti."
Liu Zhengxing hurriedly apologized: "Uncle Luo, my dad has been competitive with you all his life, always feeling you didn’t mind, so I never persuaded him, please bear with us!"
"It’s okay, I’m used to it."
"Hey, we can’t just leave it at that." Mr. Liu stood up discontentedly: "The younger generation doesn’t know so things. Today, I’ll ramble on about why I call him Xiao Luo.
He’s over a year older than , but back when we competed to be the production team leader, I won and he was my deputy. Back then, we used to address each other as comrade, so I called him Comrade Xiao Luo, and later... well, let’s not talk about later. Anyway, my calling him Xiao Luo is a historical issue, and I absolutely do not an to belittle him."
"Forget it, you two elders can discuss the nickna problem. We’ve co out to have fun, let’s not spoil the mood over trivial matters." Liu Zhengxing sat down next to Luo Ye: "Ye’er, let the grandpas handle their own business, alright? How about you don’t get involved?"
"Okay, I’ll go check the kitchen to see if there’s anything I can help with." Luo Ye quickly got up and headed for the kitchen. Oh no, sitting next to her, so disgusting.
"This child, hehe..."
Luo Ye shivered unconsciously. This laughter... why does it sound so much like Eunuch Wei?
"Are you cold, Ye’er?" Nie Cui touched Luo Ye’s forehead, "Good, normal temperature."
"How’s the fish soup Liu Xing has been simring? He said his aunt praised his fish soup as being on par with a restaurant chef’s." Luo Ye, sowhat evasive of Nie Cui’s affection, moved next to Liu Xing: "Let see the fish soup you’ve simred, will you?"
"It’s almost ready." Liu Xing lifted the lid off the clay pot, the milky broth inside was bubbling, and the rich aroma of fish wafted out. Luo Ye nodded in approval: "It’s really as good as described."
Nie Cui smiled: "This boy started learning to cook fish soup since he was 14. He’s now a full-fledged cook, hehe... but it’s a pity..."
"Mom!"
Liu Xing interjected: "What are you going on about now?"
Wen Xin sincerely complinted, "It’s rare to find a boy so thoughtful, sister-in-law is very fortunate."
"Ye’er and Feng’er are both considerate. You and Zhenggang are the truly fortunate ones," Nie Cui sighed lightly: "At our ho, it’s usually just mother and daughter, and the old man, you know what his temper is like, he likes to put on airs.
I heard the argunt earlier. Ye’er, I understand you care for grandpa, but your Mr. Liu isn’t a bad person; he just wants to outdo in everything. Don’t be mad at him, okay?"
"Auntie, I’m not mad, don’t worry. Hey, brother, you’re back. How many shrimps did you catch?"
Liu Song poured the shrimps from the basket into a bowl: "Look at this, every single one is big, they will surely taste fresh once cooked."
"Brother, hehe... you look more handso!" Luo Ye looked at Luo Feng, whose skin had turned dark tan, and couldn’t help but snicker. This brother really looked MANLY.
"Ye’er, you’re laughing so sneakily, what mischief are you plotting?" Luo Feng stroked his sister’s head with a laugh: "I nearly got sunburned to shed a layer of skin just so you could have fresh shrimps, and you’re still taking pleasure in my misfortune!"
However, Ye’er had already made up her mind to invite Nuonuo over to play next week. This charm of her older brother, hmm, who could resist?
...
The cool moonlight scattered silver sparkles on the beach, and the waves lapped playfully against the shore like mischievous children. The night by the sea held a mysterious and alluring charm.
Barefoot, Luo Ye strolled along the beach, arm-in-arm with grandpa, naturally followed by the two little tails, Dou Dou and Song Qiu.
After dinner, Mr. Liu suggested playing cards, and Luo Ye took grandpa out for a walk. Anyway, the card ga required six people, so they had more than enough players; she didn’t want grandpa to suffer anymore from that stubborn old man.
Luo Feng sensibly stayed behind, rembering the task his sister gave him. Originally, Liu Xing wanted to follow them out, but Mr. Liu stopped him, probably still upset with Luo Ye.
