Just as Yun Qiao was about to leave, Yun Xi secretly gave Yun Yang a look. Yun Yang immediately understood.
“Brother Qiao, I forgot to give you your key.” A key appeared in Yun Yang’s small palm and he placed the key directly into Yun Qiao’s hand.
When Yun Qiao saw this key, he still felt a little baffled. He did not understand what kind of key this was. However, he had already reached a very subtle understanding with Yun Xi long ago. Now, all he could do was keep quiet.
“Grandma, I just remembered. There’s an extra room in our house in the county, but I had already discussed with Yun Qiao about letting him stay here. Therefore, there might not be a place for Yun Lian to stay. After all, everyone is almost 20 years old now. If a man and a woman lived together, it would be a target for gossip.” Yun Xi sounded as if she was considerate about Yun Lian’s reputation.
After saying this, Yun Qiao finally understood what was going on. It turned out that the key that Yun Yang had just given him belonged to one of the rooms in the house that Yun Shan’s family was moving to.
!!
The key suddenly felt warm in his hand. He did not expect Yun Xi to reject Yun Lian’s request for his sake.
They did not seem to be that familiar with each other. However, at this moment, Yun Qiao felt a long-lost brotherly instinct even though he did not have a biological sister. From that moment on, he swore that he would treat Yun Xi like his own sister, treat her well, and protect her.
The corners of the old lady’s mouth twitched a few times. She did not expect Yun Xi to ruin her plans.
However, the old lady immediately changed her expression and turned her attention back to Yun Qiao.
“Yun Qiao, I remember that you and sister Yun Lian have a very good relationship. You’re a boy. It doesn’t matter if you live alone in the school dormitory. Your cousin is a girl after all, and she needs to be protected. So you’d better give this key to your sister.” The old lady said. From her stance, since Yun Qiao was a boy, it was only natural for him to give in to his sister.
When she said this, everyone’s eyes turned back to Yun Qiao. Yun Xi looked at Yun Qiao and encouraged him with her eyes, asking him to say what he should say.
“Grandma, it’s not that I don’t want to, but I think there should be a first e, first served order in everything, right?”
What Yun Qiao meant by this was that he was unwilling to give up this key.
In the old lady’s impression, Yun Lin’s eldest son had always been a mild-mannered person, just like his father who did not live up to her expectations. Little did she know that this kid would actually dare to contradict her in front of so many people today.
There was not a single person who would go along with her temper after hanging around with this girl, Yun Xi. The old lady hated Yun Xi even more in her heart.
“What do you mean first e, first served? As an elder brother, isn’t it only right and proper for you to give way to your younger sister?” The old lady still had an unreasonable expression on her face.
“I don’t think it’s right and proper for me to give way to my younger sister. Moreover, this is nothing that can be given just like that. This key was given to me by my third uncle’s family. The teacher who taught me since I was young told me that I can’t casually dispose of other people’s things. So even if this key is in my hand now, the real owner of it isn’t me. I don’t have the right to give it to anyone, don’t you agree?”
Yun Qiao’s words once again put the old lady in deep trouble. He was implying that the old lady was a person who took advantage of her seniority and was unreasonable.
The old lady’s face twisted uglily. Yun Qiao’s words had shut her up pletely. She initially thought that she could use this trick to make Yun Qiao submit, but unfortunately, he did not fall for it at all.
“You! You!” The old lady was flustered and exasperated. “I don’t care about this matter anymore. You guys can deal with it however you want.”
When the old lady said that she would crash herself to death, it was just empty words. This old lady cherished her life so much, so how could she be willing to put her life at risk? Seeing that she could not control the current situation, the old lady could only choose to escape.
Yun Lian was left standing there in a daze. Presumably, no one was willing to speak up for her anymore.
She could only grit her teeth and follow the old lady out of the room.
