Chapter 1539: Chapter 1267_2
"Mom, didn’t their family go out to look for someone?"
Xi Jingyu asked.
"They just looked for a day, just for show for the people in our courtyard!" Xu Dan thought of the gossip about Fang Su, a hint of disdain in her expression, she said, "She probably wants to gain some advantage from Uncle Jiang’s family now, maybe even thinking about becoming Mrs. Jiang, that’s why there’s such a big commotion 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 satisfied with mediocrity. Uncle Feng has stepped down, she’s lost her former glory, can she really stay at the Feng family peacefully? Moreover, not only does Big Brother Jiang look young, but the key is he’s rich. In the future, she’s probably scheming to cause trouble for Big Brother Kang and Lili!"
"Even if she wants to cause trouble, it depends on whether Big Brother Kang and Comrade Kang take the bait or not." Xi Guobang said, asking Elder Xi, "Dad, what do you think?"
"A woman who doesn’t know her place, what kind of storm can she stir up!?"
Elder Xi’s face was calm, he said lightly, "Forget about how capable your Uncle Jiang is, just your Brother Boya isn’t simple. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have built a huge Jiang Corporation abroad, and in just a few years, achieved remarkable results domestically too. Facing someone as capable as him,
if she dares to recklessly cause trouble, the one who’ll suffer is definitely herself! Besides, don’t think of Lili as just cute and gentle, a university professor full of academic air, in reality, she’s quite formidable too!"
Xi Jingyu was full of curiosity: "Grandpa, keep talking, how is Aunt Kang formidable?"
"Kids shouldn’t meddle in adult affairs."
Xi Guobang slapped his son on the back of the head: "Go to your room and study, you’re in middle school now, always coming in second in exams, how impressive!"
"Dad! You hit people, not faces, and you shouldn’t expose people’s shortcomings, you’ll lose me as your son this way!"
Clutching his chest dramatically, Xi Jingyu felt hurt by his father’s criticism, he said with a frustrated face, "I’ve been studying hard, but Luo Minghan is just an oddball, always beating me in exams. I’m already upset, and now you comment on it, Dad, I feel so miserable!"
Xi Guobang raised an eyebrow: "The kid who came to our house today with Aunt Kang is your grade’s first place?"
"Yeah, it’s him, his name is Luo Minghan. He doesn’t seem particularly studious normally, but he always scores first in exams. I’ve made friends with him today, I plan to infiltrate the enemy camp to learn his secrets up close. Once I discover his secrets, haha, watch me snatch that top spot!"
Xi Jingyu grew more excited as he spoke, but then noticed his almost six-year-old brother giving him a look like he was an idiot. Instantly, Xi Jingyu glared, "Xi Chenyu! What do you mean by that look you just gave me?"
"Dumb!"
With a single word, Xi Chenyu directed his gaze at his second brother.
"You... you little brat, you’ve gone too far!"
Xi Jingyu grinded his teeth in anger.
"Childish!"
Xi Chenyu gifted his foolish second brother two more words.
"You little brat, how am I childish? At school, I am quite aloof!" Lifting his chin, Xi Jingyu wore a proud expression: "As I walk through our school, no one doesn’t praise my steadiness and restraint, my full-on aloof style."
Unexpectedly, Xi Chenyu continued with the same two words, "Childish!"
"Fine, I’m childish, I’m dumb, you’re very smart, but are you as smart as Little Sister Guoguo? Or as smart as Bun and Tangyuan?" Come on, let’s hurt each other!
Xi Jingyu’s expression carried a hint of triumph.
Elder Xi and Xi Guobang and his wife watched the playful banter between Xi Jingyu and Xi Chenyu with amusement and helplessness.
This scene was rare at home. Finding it finally appeared, the three of them found it quite entertaining, and no one intended to intervene.
"I’m not as smart as Little Sister Guoguo and the two brothers Bun and Tangyuan, but I’ll work hard to become excellent enough, I won’t be jealous or act petty just because the brothers Bun, Tangyuan, and Little Sister Guoguo are smart!"
Hearing Xi Chenyu’s words, especially the latter part, Xi Jingyu felt a sense of implication.
Jealous?
Act petty?
The little brat was accusing him of being jealous of Luo Minghan, of being petty, this... this was too much! Xi Jingyu took a deep breath, shook his fist in front of Xi Chenyu, and said clearly, "You little brat, listen up, when I said ’infiltrate the enemy camp,’ it was just a metaphor, and about spying on my enemy’s secrets,
