Tomorrow is the old lady's birthday party, but the old house has become lively today. Several tables have been set up for lunch. Xiao Rui and his family were naturally placed at the main table to eat with the old lady.
Also sitting at the same table were Xiao Weiguo and his wife, Xiao Yuwei and Xiao Zhiyi sisters. Xiao Qing sat next to Jiao Jiao, opposite sister Xiao Zhiyi. She had a habit of going to a strange place and meeting new people first.
Secretly observing other people's actions to judge what kind of person they are.
Xiao Weiguo is a typical businessman. He is tactful and speaks half truths and half lies. You can't believe it all or not believe it all. Anyway, he is definitely not the kind of person who is willing to offend others easily.
His wife Li Fengling is very beautiful and well-maintained. She looks much younger than her actual age and speaks very kindly. However, like Xiao Weiguo, she never gets much sincerity.
As for Xiao Yuwei, she almost had the word "jealousy" engraved on her face. Whenever she saw the old lady getting close to Xiao Zhiyi, her eyes would pop out. The relationship between the sisters must not be good.
Xiao Zhiyi, who was jealous, seemed to be... completely careless, always with a cold expression, as if you don't want to talk to me, I don't like talking. But Xiao Qing felt that her coldness was not really cold.
After all, she is too familiar with truly cold people.
Like Ye Lancheng and Ye Mu'an, father and son are really cold-hearted, but the more Xiao Zhiyi looks at them, the more they look like they're just pretending.
interesting.
Xiao Qing was now very interested in Xiao Zhiyi, and she wanted to know why Xiao Zhiyi was pretending to be cold.
After lunch, Xiao Weiguo asked his servant to take Xiao Rui and his family to rest, and he cleaned a guest courtyard for them to live in. It was antique and very Jiangnan style.
Naturally, the master bedroom was left to Xiao Rui and Emma. Xiao En, Jiao Jiao and Xiao Qing each randomly chose a room. Xiao Qing was very discerning and chose the room next to her parents, leaving the other two rooms next to each other.
The room was reserved for Xiao En and Jiao Jiao.
Before taking a nap, Xiao Qing ran to Jiao Jiao's room and shared with her her character analysis of Xiao Weiguo's family.
"People are busy eating, and you are busy watching others eat. Are you full?" Jiao Jiao asked speechlessly.
"Don't I have snacks here?" Xiao Qing said, stuffing an egg yolk biscuit into her mouth, and asked: "Sister Jiao Jiao, do you think my analysis is correct?"
"I'm not as bored as you. I've been busy eating at noon. I think it would be good to get steamed pork with bamboo shoots." Jiao Jiao said.
"I don't believe it." Xiao Qing knew her very well: "Aunt Mu is so powerful. Even if you haven't deliberately studied psychology with her, you are still better than me because of what you have learned. You must have understood everyone's character clearly.
It’s clear.”
Jiao Jiao had no choice but to see that she wanted to hear her thoughts, so she could only say: "We are just here to celebrate the old lady's birthday. We will leave after the birthday. We will not have any interaction with the Xiao family here, so they
What kind of person each person is has nothing to do with us."
"You're right." Xiao Qing nodded in agreement, but couldn't help but be curious: "I'm just curious why Xiao Yuwei is so jealous of Xiao Zhiyi. Is it because the old lady prefers Xiao Zhiyi? But I think Xiao Weiguo and his wife are more jealous.
I prefer Xiao Yuwei, but Xiao Zhiyi didn’t show much jealousy.”
"Even my mommy wouldn't be able to tell the answer. If you really want to know, just go find someone to ask around." Jiao Jiao let out a breath, feeling sleepy.
"Qingqing, come out for a moment." Xiao En's voice just sounded outside the door.
Xiao Qing responded, jumped out of bed, put on her slippers, and ran out.
"Brother, are you looking for me?" Xiao Qing ran to Xiao En.
Sean: "Go to bed."
"But I'm not sleepy." Xiao Qing said.
"If you don't want to sleep with others, you have to sleep with others. Go back to your room." Xiao En grabbed her collar and threw her towards the room.
Xiao Qing:......
I am your biological sister, right?
Have you ever embarrassed your own sister like this?
She went back to the room very resentful, and finally understood why her sister-in-law and sister-in-law were incompatible. It was all because her brother was too partial.
After Xiao En drove Xiao Qing back to the room, he knocked on the bright door.
Jiaojiao: "Come in."
She was already lying in bed.
Xiao En only opened the door halfway, but did not come in when he saw her lying on the bed. He said warmly: "You can go to sleep. Let's go out for a walk in the afternoon."
"Okay." Jiao Jiao breathed out and closed his eyes the next second.
Xiao En stared at her sleeping face for a few seconds before closing the door gently.
Everyone else had taken a nap, but Xiao Qing was the only one who was not sleepy. She was at an age when she was full of energy. After trying to sleep in bed and failing, she gave up and ran out quietly.
When she walked out of the living room, she felt a little lost. The house was so big that she didn't know the way at all. She could only walk wherever she wanted, and then she became more and more lost as she walked, going around east and west, even to the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
Not clear.
"Xiao Zhiyi, did you do it on purpose?"
Just when she didn't know what to do next, she suddenly heard a voice.
Huh?
Isn't this Xiao Yuwei's voice?
Xiao Qing became interested and quietly approached the direction of the sound.
"What did I do on purpose?" Xiao Zhiyi was confused.
"Didn't I tell you not to come back?" Xiao Yuwei looked very angry.
"I just came back to celebrate my grandma's birthday. I will leave after the birthday tomorrow." Xiao Zhiyi explained.
Xiao Yuwei was very angry: "That's my grandma, not your grandma. You promised me not to come back, why did you slip up? Don't forget, if it weren't for me, you don't know what kind of life you are living now, and you can be as comfortable as you are now.
? People should know how to be grateful."
Xiao Zhiyi clenched his fist slightly, then released it, and his voice was a little lower: "I know, I will leave tomorrow. If it weren't for grandma's birthday, I wouldn't come back. Yuwei, I won't rob you."
I'm not qualified to snatch your things, so why are you so intolerant of me?"
"Xiao Zhiyi, don't you feel guilty when you say this? Didn't you steal your elder brother's love? Didn't you steal your grandma's love? Obviously I am their biological sister and granddaughter, but they don't like me, but they like you, who is not their biological child.
, this is all your fault." Xiao Yuwei said jealously.
Xiao Zhiyi became a little impatient: "You won't believe what you believe no matter how I explain it. I don't want to quarrel with you all the time because of these things. Anyway, I will leave tomorrow. Believe it or not."
After saying this, she left first.
Xiao Yuwei was so angry that she shouted in a low voice: "I am the eldest lady of the Xiao family. Everything you have now is given to you by me. Why do you treat me like this? If I had known that you would repay kindness with hatred, I would never ask for it."
Your parents brought you back from the orphanage."
Xiao Qing, who eavesdropped in the corner:...
ohmygod, there is so much information.
It turns out that Xiao Zhiyi is not Xiao Weiguo's biological daughter.
No wonder Xiao Yuwei is jealous that the old lady likes Xiao Zhiyi.
But listening to this, it sounds a bit like trying to repay a favor.
Xiao Qing inexplicably didn't like Xiao Yuwei's behavior. It was clearly a villain's behavior to repay a favor.
Xiao Zhiyi must have had a difficult time in this family. No wonder she pretended to be indifferent in front of outsiders and pretended to be difficult to get along with. I'm afraid she just wanted others to dislike her.
Fortunately, she was smart enough to see through everything.
Hehehe, she didn't care about Xiao Yuwei anymore and chased in the direction Xiao Zhiyi left.
