Chapter 2714: Chapter 2714: The Family Line Is About to End (2)
"Is it possible your ’little brother’ isn’t working well?" Qin Shou glanced downwards, "How about asking Xinxin to take a look?"
"Me, not working? You talk as if yours works any better." Hao Jian wasn’t angry at all. Instead, he gave Qin Shou a side-eye, then turned to walk out.
"You..." Qin Shou wanted to retort but chickened out; his concubines were no fewer than Qin Shou’s, and none had laid an egg yet. Could he also have a problem? That would really make them misfortune buddies. No way, he needed to get Xinxin to feel his pulse, so he quickly followed.
Peng Mingzi was sitting in the inner room, feeling incredibly anxious. She knew Yang Ruxin, despite being ruthless to those who crossed her, fiercely protected those she considered her own.
She had thought of going directly to Hao Jian but knew that would surely leave a thorn in Yang Ruxin’s heart, potentially dragging the Hao Family down.
She didn’t want to tarnish Hao Jian’s true feelings, she knew better.
So after contemplating for a night, she decided to come to Yang Ruxin.
She just hadn’t expected Yang Ruxin to act so efficiently, calling people over immediately.
While pondering, footsteps sounded outside, followed by a familiar voice: "Xinxin, I’m here, Aunt Wenxiu, Aunt Zilan, I’ve missed you both."
"Xinxin, and me too." Qin Shou chimed in, "Aunt Wenxiu, Aunt Zilan, I’ve missed you too."
From afar, Dong Wenxiu and Feng Zilan’s laughing reproaches could be heard.
Peng Mingzi couldn’t help but smile.
Though both were older than Yang Ruxin, they called her ’sister’ so smoothly.
"Haven’t seen you for days, you’ve both gotten skinnier and seem to have grown taller." Yang Ruxin’s teasing voice carried a hint of indulgence.
"We’ve been practicing martial arts." Hao Jian’s proud voice came through, "Don’t we look handsome?"
"’Cricket’s cricket’ handsome."
"Xinxin?" Hao Jian’s voice was pitiful.
"Xinxin, Xinxin, I heard you’re setting up Jian Jian with a bride? What is she like? Is she pretty?" Qin Shou impatiently joined the group, "See if there’s anyone suitable for me too?"
"Beast, don’t you already have a delicate beauty? I heard she even writes poetry. Switching affections?"
"Xinxin, don’t mention it. That... hahaha..." Hao Jian suddenly laughed wickedly, "The girl’s father dislikes Beast’s name, saying his daughter can’t marry a beast, hahaha..."
"Get lost!" Qin Shou, both angry and embarrassed, kicked out. His name was given by his father; what could he do?
Peng Mingzi in the inner room couldn’t help but smile. So this is how he was in front of Xinxin, and this is how they interacted privately, so relaxed that her heart involuntarily grew envious.
"Let’s get back to business." Yang Ruxin reined in her smile, "Hao Jian, you’re not young anymore. The last time I saw your father, he complained the Hao Family was about to end."
"Ending is his fault, who told him not to find more who could bear sons?" Hao Jian bristled.
"If your father were here, he’d beat you to death." Yang Ruxin snorted with a hint of helplessness at the bizarre father-son relationship. In fact, it affected both pairs; Qin Shou and his father were similar. When they’re on good terms, they were overly sweet, epitomizing paternal love. But when things turned sour, they’d point fingers, calling each other brats.
