It’s just an analogy, I’m not a petty person using improper methods to compete with classmates academically. Also, listen carefully, I’m genuinely friends with Ming Han, not fake! I’m not jealous of Ming Han being smarter than me, got it?"
Xi Chenyu heard this, and casually said, "Oh."
Xi Jingyu’s eyes widened.
Is that all?
He said so much, yet the little rascal in front of him just responded with an "Oh," is there any greater way to bully someone?
"Grandpa! Dad! Mom! Are you just going to keep watching? Xi Chenyu is bullying me, the second brother!"
Xi Jingyu pulled a long face, portraying himself as incredibly wronged and pitiable.
Eye roll, Xi Guobang and Elder Xi gave Xi Jingyu two words: "Grow up!"
Xu Dan couldn’t help but laugh out loud: "Xi Jingyu, you brag about being calm and reserved, full of cool vibe, but I think you are just our family’s little treasure, haha..."
If Ming Han heard Xu Dan’s comment, he would surely pat Xi Jingyu’s shoulder and say, "We’re truly good friends and brothers," both being the family’s little treasures.
"Mom~"
Xi Jingyu’s face was hot.
"Oh my, already starting to act coquettish!" Xu Dan laughed again and said to Xi Chenyu, "Little Yu, just indulge your second brother from now on, otherwise mom would think she gave birth to a second sister!"
Hearing this, Xi Jingyu felt embarrassed, snorted and said, "Mom, you just tease me. Look at how happy grandpa and dad are; I’m going upstairs to read. Laugh as you want!"
Before heading up the stairs, Xi Jingyu glanced at his brother: "Xi Chenyu, remember, I’m your second brother, not the second sister mom talks about!"
"..."
Xi Chenyu met Xi Jingyu’s gaze, eyes once again looking like he’s staring at an idiot. Seeing this, Xi Jingyu was so angry he felt chill. He took a deep breath to avoid losing his temper, preventing further torment from his genius brother!
After calming down, he tossed his head and swaggered upstairs, back full of pride, "thud, thud, thud" up to the second floor.
Old Master Feng’s expression turned, "You think because my leg can’t move and I’ve stepped down from my position, you’re not the glamorous Madam Feng anymore, and you’re looking to ditch me to be with Mr. Jiang, maybe even rekindle old feelings and become the glamorous Mrs. Jiang, right?"
Having her thoughts exposed made Fang Su’s face hard to maintain, but she remained silent, which to Old Master Feng was her conceding to everything he said.
Holding back his anger, Old Master Feng tried to keep his tone calm, saying: "You are thinking well, but do you think Mr. Jiang will give you this chance? Or do you really believe I know nothing about your past?"
"You... what do you mean by that?"
Fang Su’s eyes widened, body tense, staring straight at Old Master Feng, worried he knew her past.
Because if he did, it would prove he indeed knows she lied years ago.
"I saved you by the river; that was an accident, but what you told me... was a mix of truth and lies. However, since I decided to marry you, I naturally wouldn’t mind these things.
Even later when you suddenly adopted a daughter and concocted that story for me, I didn’t care much. Over these years, I have tolerated you enough, yet you don’t give me any face, trampling my dignity in our compound. Do you think I’m already dead?"
