"Mom, didn’t they go out looking for someone?"
Xi Jingyu asked.
"They only searched for a day, just to put on a show for everyone in the courtyard!" Xu Dan thought of the gossip surrounding Fang Su, a hint of disgust reflected in her eyes. She said, "She’s probably trying to get benefits from Uncle Jiang’s family, maybe even hoping to bee Mrs. Jiang, that’s why she caused such a big ruckus today."
Xi Guobang: "Don’t talk nonsense."
Xu Dan: "Am I talking nonsense? It’s not hard to see from her actions today. Besides, people like her are never content with mediocrity. Now that Uncle Feng has stepped down, she’s lost her former glory, can she really stay at the Feng family in peace? Especially since Big Brother Jiang not only looks young, but the key is he has money. She’ll be looking to make trouble for Big Brother Kang and Lili in the future for sure!"
"She can try to make trouble, but it’ll depend on whether Big Brother Jiang and rade Kang rise to the occasion." Xi Guobang said, and asked Elder Xi, "Dad, what do you think?"
"A woman who doesn’t know what’s what, what kind of waves can she stir up?!"
Elder Xi said calmly, "Not to mention your Uncle Jiang’s capabilities, even your Brother Boya is no ordinary person, otherwise, he wouldn’t have built up a massive Jiang Corporation abroad, and achieved impressive results in just a few years domestically. Facing such a capable person,
if anyone dares to make reckless trouble, the one who suffers will definitely be herself! Besides, don’t underestimate Lili for her delicate and gentle appearance, as a university professor with a scholarly air, she’s actually quite formidable too!"
Xi Jingyu, full of curiosity: "Grandpa, keep talking, how is Aunt Kang so formidable?"
"Grown-up matters, kids should ask less."
Xi Guobang swatted the back of his son’s head: "Go to your room to study. You’ve started middle school, always ing in second on exams, how promising!"
"Dad! You shouldn’t hit people’s faces, and not expose their shortings, you’ll lose me as your son like this!"
Covering his chest, Xi Jingyu felt defeated by his own dad. He wore a sorrowful expression: "I really work hard at studying, but Ming Han is simply a phenomenon, always topping me in exams, I’m already quite troubled, and now you’re saying this, Dad, I feel life is so hard!"
Xi Guobang raised his brow: "The kid that came to visit with Aunt Kang today is your grade’s top student?"
"Yes, it’s him, his name is Luo Minghan. He doesn’t seem particularly studious daily, but always scores first in exams. Today I’ve already bee friends with him, planning to infiltrate the enemy camp, understand him closely, see if he has any study secrets. Once I grasp his secrets, ha! Watch me take the grade top spot!"
Xi Jingyu spoke with more and more excitement, only to notice his less than six-year-old brother giving him a look as if he were an idiot. Instantly, Xi Jingyu stared: "Xi Chenyu! What did your look mean just now?"
"Dumb!"
Xi Chenyu simply uttered a word as he looked at his second brother.
"You... little brat, you’re being excessive!"
Xi Jingyu gritted his teeth in anger.
"Childish!"
Xi Chenyu offered two more words to his foolish brother.
"Little brat, how am I childish? At school, I am very cool!" With a raised chin, Xi Jingyu maintained a proud demeanor: "Walking around our school, there’s no one who doesn’t praise me for being stable and reserved, with a full-on cool vibe."
Unexpectedly, Xi Chenyu continued to give him the same two words: "Childish!"
"Alright, I’m childish, I’m dumb, you’re very smart, but are you as smart as Little Sister Guoguo? Or smarter than Bun and Tangyuan?" e on, let’s harm each other!
Xi Jingyu’s eyes hinted at a touch of smugness.
Elder Xi and the couple Xi Guobang watched the brothers Xi Jingyu and Xi Chenyu spar with amusement and helplessness.
Such scenes were rarely seen at home; having witnessed it, the three found it utterly entertaining, none thought to intervene.
"I’m not as smart as little sister Guoguo and brothers Bun and Tangyuan, but I will make myself better, not get jealous of smart siblings like Bun and Tangyuan, or little sister Guoguo, and not act petty!"
Upon hearing what Xi Chenyu said, especially the latter part, Xi Jingyu felt subtly insinuated.
Jealous?
Acting petty?
Did the little brat imply he’s jealous of Luo Minghan, and is acting petty? This... this was too much! Xi Jingyu took a deep breath, clenched his fist and shook it before Xi Chenyu’s eyes, declaring, word by word: "Little brat you listen up clearly, when I said ’infiltrate the enemy camp,’ it’s just a metaphor, and investigating the enemy’s little secrets,
