Zhou Yan rolled her eyes at the conversation between the father and son. She could not stand it anymore. “Why are you spouting nonsense? Who asked you to come and see me? Besides, did you come back to see me? If you weren’t afraid that Xiaoxiao and I would make a mess, would you be willing to come back?”
Old Master Xu heard what his daughter-in-law said on the other end of the phone. He turned around and scolded his youngest son, “That’s right. I think she said it right. I’m warning you not to use your wife as a shield.” Xu Pei felt wronged. “Dad, you’re the only one who can say it all.”
“What? Do you have any objections?”
“No, I was just wondering if Xiaoxiao would be uncomfortable living alone in the Capital. If it doesn’t work, just transfer him back…”
“Stop. You’re threatening me!” Old Master Xu admitted defeat. “I’ll stop talking about you, alright?”
Xu Pei squinted his eyes like a sly old fox and replied, “Sure!”
Old Master Xu muttered to himself over the phone, “Son of a b*tch.” Xu Pei pretended not to hear it.
“Tell me, what are you thinking? Why do you suddenly want to adopt a daughter? And why do you want to get two at once?” Old Master Xu was not very satisfied. “In the past, so many people wanted to get close to you but you rejected them. Now, you suddenly changed your mind. If people know about this, won’t you be contradicting yourself?”
“This is different.”
“How is it different? Don’t they all have one nose and two eyes?”
Xu Pei thought about it and smiled from the bottom of his heart. “Duoduo is obedient, smart, sensible, cute, and very filial…”
“Stop…Stop right there.” Old Master Xu interrupted him angrily. “Who are you fooling? Let me ask you, is there something wrong with you? Did you secretly give birth to a child? Now that the child has grown up, you have no choice but to come up with this stupid idea?”
The couple looked at each other and then at Su Wen who was sitting in front of the window. The three of them looked at each other silently and fell into a strange silence.
Su Wen felt awkward. It was passed down from generation to generation! No wonder cousin Xiaoxiao was so “refined”.
Su Wen silently gave Old Master Xu a thumbs up in her heart. What a great oid master mind!
Any ordinary people wouldn’t have thought of this.
The silence made Old Master Xu believe that he had guessed correctly. He thought, ‘This brat, he must be feeling guilty, so he did not know how to answer.’
“Forget it! Since they have grown up now, you can’t be irresponsible. You have to apologize to Zhou Yan. You should get beaten, scolded, and punished. Even if you have to kneel down, you shouldn’t complain.” After the old man finished speaking, they heard something falling onto the ground on the other side.
Obviously, there was someone else beside him, but they didn’t know who it was.
Anyway, no matter who it was, they would be shocked. They would only wish that they were not there. One could really die of shock upon hearing such a great secret.
“During the New Year, bring the children over. Let me get to know them.” Old Master Xu hung up the phone sadly.
Listening to the busy tone coming from the phone, Xu Pei calmly put down the phone. However, on a closer look, he was not that calm. His mouth twitched as he helplessly held his forehead with his hand.
“It’s a pity that he isn’t involved in artistic creation. He could be the screenwriter in the Capital Film Studio.” Zhou Yan touched her chin. “Maybe we can hire Old Master Xu in the publishing house too.”
“What are you talking about? I’ll go back after the Mid-Autumn Festival. I’ll explain to him when I meet him..”
