“Then are you willing?” Xu Pei asked expectantly.
“I have to ask my Big sister.” Little sister said hesitantly, “I don’t know. If my Big sister agrees, I’ll be happy to do it.”
“Hahaha… Alright, when your Big sister comes to the Province, we’ll discuss it with her.”
Both parties reached an agreement. Xu Pei looked at Little sister as if she was his own daughter.
“Did you happen to meet any new children when you went to register for class today?”
“No!” The little girl said eloquently, “Brother Hengguang brought me to register and sent me back right after I got my books. He didn’t bring me to the class I was assigned to nor did he bring me to meet my form teacher.”
“This Zhou Hengguang is too irresponsible.”
Zhou Yan interjected, “I think he has an ulterior motive. Otherwise, why would he suddenly be so diligent? Such a sudden change of behavior…It’s clear he did not have any good intentions.”
Xu Pei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “That’s your nephew. How can you talk about your nephew like that? He had a good reputation in the Capital, and many seniors liked him very much. There are still many people who are reluctant to transfer back to the Province this time!”
“Haha!” Zhou Yan smiled noncommittally, thinking that all of them had been deceived by him.
“Director Xu, your secretary is looking for you. She’s in the reception room now.”
Xu Pei muttered in his heart, “Why did Xiaowang suddenly come to the publishing house?” He got up and went to the reception room. Half an hour later, he returned with a serious expression.
“What is this?”
Xu Pei gritted his teeth. “It’s Xiaoxiao. He applied to transfer his work unit to the Capital? The application report has already been submitted. If it wasn’t for an old friend of mine in the system who had heard of Xiaoxiao’s name and knew that he was my son, we would have been kept in the dark!”
“This brat.” When Zhou Yan heard that her son was going to be transferred to the Capital, she felt that something was wrong. “Did Xiaoxiao run away from home this time?”
“I think so.”
“Old Xu, do you think it was because I teased Xiaoxiao too much and made him angry?”
“It can’t be, right? It’s been so many years.” Xu Pei doted on his son the most and he took pride in that. He had been teased by his biological mother since he was young. Although he always shouted that he would run away from home and make his biological mother angry, neither of them had ever taken it to heart.
Although he had gone to the newspapers to cause a family dispute and a war of words, the mother and son had a very good relationship.
Unlike some families, who never interacted with each other and hated each other. His brother-in-law was a clear example. He had three sons. One of them had died, another had cut off all ties with his family, and the last one had been rebellious since he was young. It was only a matter of time before he fell out with his family.
Another example would be the Zhou family, which had been in various situations. The relationship between the brothers and sisters in the capital was not very harmonious.
Therefore, Xu Pei paid more attention to his family relationships.
“You’re right. My Xiaoxiao won’t hold a grudge against me! Although he never said anything good about Hengyang since he was young, he has the best relationship with Hengyang.” Zhou Yan was very confident in her son’s character.
“Then why did he want to transfer to the Capital?”
Xu Pei thought of something and could not help but twitch his lips. “Could it be that he was frightened by the child bride?”
“This… That’s possible.” Zhou Yan couldn’t help but hold her forehead. She scolded, “This rascal is too useless. He’s scared of a little child bride. I think he should just stay single for the rest of his life.”
