Xue Ning grabbed Shen Yinan's wrist and quietly led people to the third floor.

Before Shen Yinan could figure out what was going on, he was taken to the door of the study.

Xue Ning gestured for him to squat down.

Shen Yinan: “…”

What's this for? Eavesdropping?

He subconsciously felt that it was not good, but Xue Ning's hand was so strong that he pulled him back and wouldn't let him go, so Shen Yinan had to do as he was told.

As soon as I squatted down, I heard the third grandmother curse "damn old man". I couldn't hear what else she said after that.

Xue Ning quietly opened the door a crack and let Shen Yinan look inside.

This crack faces the innermost part of the study. Shen Yinan saw at a glance that the third grandmother slapped the third grandfather on the forehead and scolded him unhappily:

"I told you last night to be more approachable! Who are you showing that deadpan look to? Who are you trying to act like a boss to at home?"

The old man who was so dignified and calm just now was now timid. After being slapped by his wife, he dared not say a word and could only say stubbornly in a low voice: "I am the elder, I have to be dignified!"

"Majesty? I don't know who would get up in the middle of the night to try on clothes and even spray perfume like a young person!"

"Tell me how you can threaten me again! How are you going to explain to Big Brother if you scare him away? Before he died, he kept talking about how he was worried Xue Du wouldn't be able to find a partner!"

"Wrong, wrong..." Third Grandpa covered his wife's mouth, "Be quiet, everyone is downstairs..."

"Now the third grandmother frowned and warned: "I'm telling you, you have to be enthusiastic when you eat, don't make everyone unhappy!"

"I know, I know..."

Third Uncle quickly agreed, looking so humble that he almost nodded and bowed.

After watching the whole process, Ana Shen felt relieved.

It turns out they don’t dislike me, that’s okay.

Xue Ning quietly closed the door again, and gently dragged Shen Yinan to go back.

Just now, Xue Du came to her and said that Shen Yinan thought that the third grandfather didn't like him, and asked her to help say it. Only if more people said it would the child believe it.

Xue Ning thought, seeing is believing. She had no idea how many times she had eavesdropped since she was a child, and she knew the person very well. It was a good opportunity to bring someone to take a look.

Just as I reached the stairs, I heard the little girl's crisp voice: "Sister! Why are you holding hands with Brother Yinan?"

Xue Ning's eyes widened. He grabbed his sister's waist, picked up the child, and covered her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense! I pulled his sleeve! Xue Youyou, a sleeve and a hand are not the same thing, do you understand?"

The child has a loud voice, and if she misunderstands something, she will scream so loudly that the whole family will know about it.

Xue Ning didn't want to be stared at by Xue Du with that cold gaze for several days. It was quite scary.

Xue Youyou blinked and looked at Xue Ning, then turned to look at Shen Yinan and asked, “Brother, do you want Youyou to keep it a secret for you?”

“Is it okay?” Shen Yinan asked softly.

There’s nothing wrong with holding sleeves, but being caught eavesdropping…Shen Yinan was so embarrassed that his toes dug into the ground just thinking about it.

"Of course!" Xue Youyou's eyes sparkled with a cunning light, "Brother, if you hug me, I'll keep it a secret for you!"

Xue Ning: “…”

You are so young, who taught you how to bargain?

*

During dinner, Shen Yinan met his cousin Xue Cheng, who was said to be at odds with Xue Du.

Xue Cheng inherited the Xue family's usual good looks, but he was also a bit harsh with his mouth. As soon as he sat down, he glanced at Xue Ning and said, "Wear more clothes. No one will see you even if you show off. You'll get arthritis tomorrow and be confined to a wheelchair."

In the middle of winter, Xue Ning wore a black velvet skirt with bare legs.

Xue Ning: “…”

Xue Ning looked at Xue Cheng's parents: "Uncle, what's wrong with me loving beauty? Look at him——"

Unexpectedly, Xue Ning reported her parents at such an old age. Xue Cheng rolled his eyes and turned to look at Shen Yinan: "Are you Xue Du's boyfriend? Are you twenty? Did Xue Du force you?"

Ana Shen said seriously: “Yes, cousin, I’m twenty-two this year.”

The cousin who originally wanted to take the opportunity to criticize Xue Du said: "...Okay, it looks quite small."

After repeated setbacks, he remained silent and withdrew from the battlefield.

Shen Yinan was relieved. He had thought that Xue Cheng would say something about his gender, but he was not embarrassed.

It seems that although there are superficial quarrels between the brothers, they are actually in harmony.

Apart from the little incident at the beginning, the meal was quite harmonious.

During the meal, an elder wanted to pick up some food for Shen Yinan, but was stopped by Xue Ning: "Uncle, there are so many dishes on the table. If each person picks up one chopstick, they will be buried."

"You're so enthusiastic, no wonder you're wearing so little." Xue Cheng took the opportunity to interject and was pleasantly greeted with a roll of the eyes.

After dinner, the elders went to the living room to continue chatting. Xue Ning waved in the direction of Shen Yinan and went upstairs first.

Xue Du asked Shen Yinan: “Do you remember the skills I taught you last time?”

Skill?

Shen Yinan's ears turned red.

But knowing that the other party would not say this in public, he asked quietly, "What technique?"

"Mahjong."

The smile in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

Shen Yinan: “…”

I knew she was teasing him on purpose.

As soon as they went upstairs, they saw Xue Ning squatting helplessly at the door of the mahjong room, reasoning with a child holding a pink rabbit: "...Youyou, are you a child? Is it time for the child to go to bed at this time? Or you can ask Aunt Liu to watch the cartoons of Little Carp, Little Pig, and Little Dog with you. Sister needs to take care of business now."

"Youyou is not a child at all. Youyou will be able to go to primary school next year!"

Xue Youyou put his hands on his hips in dissatisfaction and said, "Youyou wants to play with her brothers and sisters!"

Xue Ning pinched his eyebrows.

The person who usually never repeats herself when scolding an artist really doesn't know what to say now. Besides, it's just that she hasn't seen her brothers and sisters for a long time. What's her fault?
