Xuanxuan wanted to follow, but Luo Sichun picked her daughter up and whispered, "Little Sister Guoguo is unhappy now and needs your Aunt Kang to fort her, so don’t follow and cause trouble."
"I... I can fort Little Sister Guoguo, I can tell her jokes to make her happy!" Her mom didn’t understand her at all and insisted on stopping her from getting close to Little Sister Guoguo, it was really hard for her!
Jhiang Xuanyuan was a bit downcast, but when she saw Fang Su standing still without leaving, she couldn’t help but glare at her and angrily said, "Grandma Fang, why did you take off Little Sister Guoguo’s mask? Are you really a bad grandma who likes to bully us kids?"
"Xuanxuan!"
Luo Sichun covered her daughter’s mouth, greeted Wang Yuqin, ignored Fang Su, and then carried her daughter home.
She had already decided to call Kang Li in the evening to apologize and explain what had happened.
Otherwise, it would be hard to guarantee that Kang Li wouldn’t harbor any resentment.
After all, she brought the kids to celebrate her daughter’s birthday, and then something happened. In the end, the little girl was frightened, and she couldn’t shirk the responsibility.
"Auntie Fang, can you tell me what really happened today? Why did you have to take off a child’s mask? And who was that Jiang Boya you mentioned? I haven’t heard of him."
Wang Yuqin looked at Fang Su, confusion written in her eyes.
"How is this possible? How could it be?"
Fang Su seemed not to hear Wang Yuqin’s words. She whispered in a daze, "No, impossible, she can’t be that child... Jiang Boya, I must find Jiang Boya, I’ll go find him now..."
She took off towards the Xi Family. Wang Yuqin stood there, thinking Fang Su seemed a bit out of her mind. She pondered for a moment and then walked towards the Feng family.
"Alright, I understand, thank you."
Wang Yuqin went to the Feng family, disclosed what happened with Fang Su to Old Master Feng, and then quickly returned to her own home.
"Xiao Li, push me to the Xi Family."
Old Master Feng sat in his wheelchair and instructed the caregiver beside him.
"Okay."
Xiao Li responded, put a hat on Old Master Feng, picked up a scarf to wrap him well, and then pushed him out of the living room.
The Xi Family.
"Jiang Boya! She isn’t that child, is she? Jiang Boya, please tell me!"
With the sudden appearance of Fang Su, Jiang Hongfa, Jiang Boya, and Kang Li’s mother were all trapped at the gate of the Xi Family courtyard.
"Auntie Fang, what are you doing?"
Xu Dan was displeased: "Our guests are trying to go home, please make way."
"Jiang Boya..."
Fang Su ignored Xu Dan, her eyes reddened, staring straight at Jiang Boya: "She isn’t that child, right?" The "she" undoubtedly referred to Kang Li.
Old Master Xi only felt that Fang Su was shameless and undignified.
Even if she had a past relationship with Jiang Boya, times have changed and Fang Su married someone else years ago, living her life. Why bring up the past?
Does she not care about the face and feelings of her current husband at all?
Moreover, as for Kang Li, Fang Su abandoned her right after she was born. Where does she have the face now to confirm Kang Li’s identity in front of Jiang Boya?
Okay, Elder Xi heard about Kang Li’s background from Jiang Hongfa, as they hadn’t seen each other for years and naturally chatted about past events.
Undoubtedly, Jiang Hongfa mentioned in casual conversation that Kang Li was the child Jiang Boya had before he went abroad and the result of his brief relationship with Fang Su. Later, it was found out she was abandoned by Fang Su right after birth but was luckily taken home by kind adoptive parents who raised her as their daughter.
Therefore, Elder Xi might not know all about Fang Su’s past, but just from what Jiang Hongfa described, he didn’t have a single good impression of Fang Su.
"Where’s her face?"
Elder Xi frowned: "I think I heard Xiao Feng’s voice." Needless to say, Elder Xi was referring to Old Master Feng.
Firstly, Elder Xi was older than Old Master Feng, and secondly, Elder Xi held a higher status than Old Master Feng.
Referring to him as Xiao Feng was normal.
"Uncle Feng must have heard something and came to our place, and it was thanks to Uncle Feng speaking up, otherwise Brother Boya would have had a hard time getting away."
There was no emotion in Xi Guobang’s voice, and now, Xu Dan said: "Lili is not like her at all, in my opinion, she’s not fit to be Lili’s mother."
After a short pause, Xu Dan continued: "Years ago, I heard a lot of gossip about her in the courtyard. At that time, I didn’t have a good impression of her and thought she wasn’t fit to be a mother. Unexpectedly, today she opened my eyes, her face is as thick as a city wall."
Seeing how seriously everyone in the family was listening, Xu Dan coughed twice and told the story of how Feng Yi was driven out of the house by Fang Su’s urging, and finally, she sneered:
"Being a stepmother is hard, but she treats her own son like grass, and practically worships the children of her husband’s previous marriage.
If I were that child, I wouldn’t e back after leaving that house, even if I had to eat bread and water outside, I wouldn’t return to such a heartless home."
Xi Chenyu gave a word to Xi Jingyu, and Xi Chenyu looked at his second brother with raised eyebrows.
"You... you brat, you’ve gone too far!"
Xi Jingyu gritted his teeth in anger.
"Childish!"
Xi Chenyu flung these two words at his foolish second brother.
"Brat, how am I childish? At school, I’m very aloof!" Lifting his chin, Xi Jingyu wore a proud expression: "Walking in our school, no one doesn’t praise me for being steady and introverted, full of cool style."
Unexpectedly, Xi Chenyu continued to fling the same two words at him: "Childish!"
"Fine, I’m childish, I’m stupid, but are you as clever as Guoguo? Are you as smart as Bun and Tangyuan?" e on, let’s hurt each other!
Xi Jingyu’s eyes gleamed with a touch of pride.
Elder Xi and Xi Guobang both watched both brothers Xi Jingyu and Xi Chenyu bickering with amusement and helplessness.
Such a scene was rare in the house, and seeing it, the three found it quite entertaining, so no one said to stop them.
"I may not be as clever as Little Sister Guoguo or my two younger brothers Bun and Tangyuan, but I will try my best to bee excellent enough, not getting jealous of their intelligence or being disingenuous!"
Listening to what Xi Chenyu said, especially the latter part, Xi Jingyu felt personally attacked.
Jealous?
Being disingenuous?
The brat was saying he was jealous of Luo Minghan and acting disingenuous, that... that was too much! Xi Jingyu took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and shook it in front of Xi Chenyu’s eyes, speaking word by word, "Brat, listen to me clearly, when I said ’deep into enemy territory,’ it was just a metaphor, and finding out his little secrets was only a figure of speech. I am not the kind of person who employs unfair means to pete with classmates in academics. Also, you need to understand, I truly want to be friends with Luo Minghan, and it’s not some pretentious act! I’m not jealous of Luo Minghan being smarter than me, got it?"
Xi Chenyu heard that and answered with a nonchalant "oh."
Xi Jingyu’s eyes widened.
Is that it?
