Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1461: Chapter 1248

Hearing Hu Dongting say this, Elder Xi sighed. "You should also learn to let go a bit. Now that there’s this little fellow Hanghang, that means Xiaochuan will have someone to rely on in the future. You and your wife should relax. There’s no need to keep yourselves strung so tight, otherwise, I’m afraid your hope of holding a great-grandson will have to wait till the next life!"

At these words, Hu Dongting immediately laughed. "That won’t do. Me, I definitely have to live to hold a great-grandson!" As soon as he said it, the gloom in his heart because of the little girl from the Gao Family dissipated in an instant.

Elder Xi said, "That’s a good thought, but you have to put it into action. You need to exercise more in your daily life."

Hu Dongting said, "That’s true, but over all these years I haven’t slacked off on exercising." He got up early to run, and even when it rained or snowed, he would jog in place at home for a while, then do a set of boxing drills.

In short, the body is the capital of the revolution, and given his son’s situation, he had to live a long life; naturally, he needed to pay more attention to his own health.

Elder Xi smiled at this, then called Hu Dongting over to wage battle on Chessboard Mountain.

They played three games in a row, and in each one Hu Dongting lost to Elder Xi. He was not convinced in his heart, but his skill really was inferior. Helpless, seeing the clock hand about to point to nine, he got up, said goodbye to Elder Xi and the rest of the Xi Family, picked up his little grandson, and went back to his own home.

"Little Yu."

At this moment there was only Elder Xi and Xi Chenyu, one old and one young, left in the living room. Just as Elder Xi called Xi Chenyu, Xi Guobang walked in from outside. He had just come home from work.

"What’s going on?"

Seeing Xi Chenyu stand in front of the old man with a tense face, Xi Guobang took off his service cap and casually put it on the sofa. He glanced at his father, then at his younger son, and a trace of doubt inevitably colored his deep-set eyes.

"Your Uncle Gao brought Little Moonlight over to our place after dinner to play. Somehow Little Yu made that little girl cry. Then, seeing that Little Yu only played with Hanghang, she opened her mouth and offended your Uncle Hu. Anyway, after what happened tonight, the Hu Family and the Gao Family are probably going to have some friction."

He said this without any other intention. In his view, what happened tonight was indeed the little girl from the Gao Family’s fault. And the reason a little girl would say something like that, anyone would think it couldn’t be separated from the adults at home.

If even about this Hu Dongting had no reaction, then he would be a bit too careless.

The reason:

If it were him, even if his son had a problem in the head, even if everyone in the compound knew about it, talking behind his back was one thing, but directly saying to his face that his son was an idiot—any father would be furious inside.

"How did Little Moonlight from your Uncle Gao’s place offend your Uncle Hu?"

Xi Guobang was a little curious.

"The little girl saw that our Little Yu wouldn’t play with her, and when her temper flared up she cried and made a fuss, saying Little Yu always played with the idiot’s son, so why didn’t he like her, why wouldn’t he play with her. Your Uncle Hu heard every single word of that, clear as day."

At this point Elder Xi shifted his gaze to his little grandson. "Now you can tell us, right? Why don’t you like Little Moonlight, why don’t you like playing with her?"

Xi Chenyu kept his face blank. "No reason." He didn’t like her, and that was that. If he had to give a reason, he could only say they rubbed each other the wrong way at first sight.

"Hah! You kid sure have a bit of personality!" Xi Guobang laughed, his eyes teasing. "Then tell me, who do you like playing with?"

At this, Xi Chenyu pressed his lips together and stayed silent.

Seeing this, Xi Guobang deliberately put on a thoughtful expression. "Could it be that you like playing with Aunt Kang’s Guoguo?" Suppressing a smile, he watched the expression on Xi Chenyu’s face.

Elder Xi knew his son was teasing his grandson, but he still shot Xi Guobang a glare. Xi Guobang pretended not to see it and said to Xi Chenyu, "Looks like I was wrong. You don’t like Aunt Kang’s Guoguo, and you don’t like playing with Little Sister Guoguo either..."

Before he could finish, Xi Chenyu spoke up. "No." Ignoring the teasing in Xi Guobang’s eyes, Xi Chenyu’s face was solemn and serious. "It’s not that I don’t like playing with Little Sister Guoguo."

Xi Guobang gave an "oh." Rubbing his chin, he said, "You answered that fast, so it seems you really do like Aunt Kang’s Guoguo. But even so, you still can’t say excessive things to Little Moonlight. Xi Chenyu, do you understand what I mean?"

"I didn’t. I only told her I don’t like playing with her. That’s my freedom. I don’t think I did anything wrong." As his still-childish voice, with a hint of stubbornness, fell, a woman’s voice came from the stairs: "Little Yu is right. Liking or not liking to play with someone is your freedom."
