Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1554: Chapter 1271

Xi Jingyu suddenly piped up: ”It must be Zhou Yaqing having a crush on Uncle Luo, then Uncle Luo got annoyed and kicked her out of the research institute in a fit of anger.”

”You really talk too much.”

Old Master Xi glared at Xi Jingyu.

You brat! Although not entirely correct, you’re pretty close.

Sighing inwardly, Old Master Xi deeply regretted his momentary softness earlier, when he helped the Zhou Family by arranging for Zhou Yaqing to work at the institute.

”Grandpa, you’re making me suspect that I hit the nail on the head!”

Xi Jingyu folded his arms, rubbing his chin as he observed Old Master Xi’s facial expressions. Seeing his grandpa’s extremely unnatural expression, Xi Jingyu’s eyes widened in anger and he said, ”Zhou Yaqing wouldn’t happen to have skin as thick as the city wall, would she? With her Pigsy looks, she’s not even fit to carry Aunt Kang’s shoes, yet she dares to long for Uncle Xiao? Who gave her the courage?!”

Hearing this, Old Master Xi glared at his grandson, not with good grace: ”Can’t you speak properly? Regardless, Xiao Qing is your cousin sister.”

”I don’t have such a shameless cousin sister.”

Xi Jingyu scoffed, his face full of disdain, ”She doesn’t even know her own worth, yet she dreams of unattainable men. Also, I seriously doubt the upbringing of that aunt’s family. How could they raise a girl like Zhou Yaqing who disregards her own and her family’s reputation, intending to interfere with other people’s marriages?”

”Grandpa, I don’t like my Cousin Sister Zhou.”

Despite being young, Xi Chenyu understood most of what his second brother Xi Jingyu said. So, he immediately made his stance clear in front of Old Master Xi.

In simpler terms, he supports what his second brother Xi Jingyu said.

”...”

Old Master Xi’s lips moved a bit, and after a moment, he said, ”Your Cousin Sister Xiao Qing could be momentarily enchanted. Grandpa believes she will recognize her mistakes and change. Even though you feel dislike towards her,

Grandpa won’t force you to befriend her. However, the Zhou Family is still considered relatives, besides, your great aunt is still alive. Please do it for Grandpa, and don’t cause embarrassment for Cousin Sister Xiao Qing visibly.”

Xi Jingyu pressed his lips without saying a word.

The little Xi Chenyu similarly remained silent.

”What, you’re not listening to what Grandpa says anymore?” Old Master Xi was full of helplessness, but he pretended to be annoyed on his face: ”Forget it, I’m old, my words have no weight anymore. You go do what you need to do, let this old man be alone for a while.”

Waving his hand, Old Master Xi withdrew his gaze from Xi Jingyu and Xi Chenyu.

”...I won’t talk to her.”

After a long silence, Xi Chenyu finally uttered with a stern face.

Xi Jingyu: ”Alright, I’ll refrain from speaking harsh words in front of Zhou Yaqing, out of respect for my Grandpa.”

”Hmm.”

Old Master Xi nodded. He knew this was the biggest compromise his two grandsons could make. If he wasn’t satisfied, these two might just turn around and leave.

Reason?

His descendants, in terms of temperament, somewhat resemble him—stubborn!

Yes, in his younger days, he was often described as having a stubborn streak, difficult to pull back once it flared up.

The Zhou Family’s residential compound is not far from the Xi Family’s courtyard, more specifically, taking a bus for six stops from the Zhou Family’s residential compound will get you there.

Thus, Zhou Yaqing’s time to the Xi Family is very short. Consequently, upon receiving a phone call from the guard at the courtyard gate saying Zhou Yaqing was coming to visit, Old Master Xi’s facial expression subtly changed.

Ending the call, before Old Master Xi could say anything, Xi Jingyu frowned and said: ”Zhou Yaqing is here.” His tone was declarative.

Old Master Xi neither nodded nor shook his head.

Xi Jingyu: ”At this time, could she be hoping to ask Grandpa for help in transferring her back to her original job?”

”Rest assured, no matter what your Cousin Sister Xiao Qing says at our house, Grandpa will not agree to it.”

In regards to the work and future of his own children and grandchildren, he has never intervened. Contrarily, compromising his principles for a relative’s youngster—reaching his age, it was his first time doing something against his principles; he undoubtedly regretted it afterward. But he also told himself it was a one-time thing.

So today, regardless of what that girl says and how she pleads, he will not lend a hand again.

Thinking this, Old Master Xi said: ”Are you planning to continue sitting here...”

Xi Chenyu interrupted before Old Master Xi could finish: ”I want to see what she wants to say coming to our house this time.”
