When I returned to the compound, I saw a happy scene as soon as I entered the door. Xiao Fengnian and Xia Yun were sitting on the sofa, asking and answering each other, all about daily household chores. The scene was very warm and those who didn't know would think Xia Yun was Xiao Fengnian's biological daughter.
As the door opened, the two stopped talking immediately. Xiao Fengnian turned around and looked at Xiao Yue and Shi Ye, frowning and asking, "Where did you go? We have guests at home, and you just left like that? Why didn't you tell them?"
Xia Yun also stood up and looked at Xiao Yue with sparkling eyes: "Brother Xiao Yue, Xiao Ye, what did you buy?"
Xiao Yue said calmly, "I came back from the northwest and I need to buy a lot of things."
After explaining casually, Xiao Yue said, "Xiaoye, let's go, go upstairs and send the things upstairs."
Shi also curled his lips and said to Xiao Fengnian, "Uncle Xiao, I'm going upstairs to pack my things first."
The two of them went upstairs one after the other. Xiao Fengnian frowned, his chest heaving. Finally, he shook his head and sighed.
Xia Yun's eyes flickered slightly as she watched Xiao Yue and Shi Ye disappear at the stairs. She sat back on the sofa and looked at Xiao Fengnian, who was frowning. She said softly, "Uncle Xiao, don't blame Brother Xiao Yue. He wasn't like this originally. Brother Xiao Yue has always been a gentle and polite person. It should be... it's just that you didn't agree to his relationship with Xiao Ye, so he's not happy."
These words sounded like tea. Xia Yun's soft voice made Xiao Fengnian frown even more.
He naturally knew what his own son was like. Xiao Yue had always been a sensible and polite child. He never seemed to have any feelings towards Shi before. How come he suddenly seemed like a different person after returning from the northwest?
There is also Shi Ye. At first, she seemed to be a well-behaved girl, and she even took the initiative to suggest going to the northwest to join the team. But now it seems that she is not as she originally appeared to be. Instead, she is a deep-minded person, and she has made Xiao Yue change so much.
Xiao Fengnian was not satisfied and his expression was not good. Xia Yun, with a smile on her face, added fuel to the fire.
She felt that the time was about right, so she said, "Uncle Xiao, the New Year is coming soon, please don't get angry and hurt yourself. I will persuade Brother Xiao Yue. For Xiao Ye, it is not worth getting angry with the family. I will also talk to Xiao Ye more."
Hearing these appropriate words, Xiao Fengnian sighed: "It would be great if everyone was as worry-free as you."
Xia Yun smiled shyly: "Then I'll go upstairs to see them first and have a chat with Xiaoye."
Xiao Fengnian nodded. Just then the phone at home rang. He picked up the phone and Xia Yun turned around and went upstairs.
However, just as she walked to the door of Shiye's room, she heard Tong Muzhen's joyful voice coming from inside: "Hey, Xiaoye, the material you bought for me is so bright, can I wear it? Will I be laughed at if I wear it?"
In the room, Mami's voice was gentle: "Auntie, you are young and beautiful, why can't you wear bright colors? I think it's just right for you."
Xia Yun listened at the door with disgust in her eyes. This Shi Ye was really annoying. He only knew how to please Tong Muzhen. Didn't he just want to marry Xiao Yue in glory? Oh, as long as Tong Muzhen dared to agree, she would turn around and expose Xiao Yue's life experience!
Thinking of this, Xia Yun felt much happier. She put on a smile and knocked on the door: "Xiao Ye, I'm coming in."
After she finished speaking, she pushed the door open and walked in. In the room, Tong Muzhen put the fabric on her arm and frowned at Xia Yun who came in uninvited. She ignored her and looked at Shi Ye and said, "Xiao Ye, come with me to the tailor shop later. I know a shop with good craftsmanship. We have bought the fabric and need to make two new sets of clothes. The New Year is coming soon and we need to wear new clothes."
Tong Muzhen stood up and prepared to leave with the material. However, Xia Yun seemed to be unaware of Tong Muzhen's displeasure. She suddenly took the material from her hand and said with a smile, "Aunt, this material is really beautiful. If you make clothes out of it, it will definitely look good!"
Tong Muzhen glanced at her, nodded coldly, and said politely: "Thank you."
Xia Yun didn't care at all, and looked at Tong Muzhen with a smile: "Then Auntie, don't be partial. If you want to take Xiaoye to make clothes, can you take me with you as well? It's the New Year, and I want to wear new clothes, too. Thank you, Auntie!"
Xia Yun spoke so shamelessly that Tong Muzhen's mouth twitched and she looked at her with an incredible look.
Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Fengnian's voice suddenly rang out from the doorway: "Take Xiaoyun with you, we are all family."
When Tong Muzhen heard this, her face turned cold. She took the material from Xia Yun's hand and left Shiye's room without saying a word.
She hates being told what to do the most. If you want her to take Xia Yun with her, forget it.
Seeing Tong Muzhen leave with her chin up and no words, Xiao Fengnian looked a little unhappy: "This person is really..."
"Uncle Xiao, please respect my aunt's personal opinion. Since she doesn't want to, why should you force it?" Shi was also packing up the things Xiao Yue bought. When he heard Xiao Fengnian's unhappy voice, he looked up at him. His voice was flat, without a trace of emotion.
Sometimes she admired Xia Yun. Xiao Fengnian was not so partial to her at the beginning, but in just a few months, she had made great efforts in Yandu. Even when she went to the northwest to cause trouble, Xiao Fengnian was willing to help her. If it was partiality, how could Xiao Fengnian be worse than Tong Muzhen? It was just that one of them was partial to her and the other was partial to Xia Yun. It was really a drama.
Hearing Shiye's cold voice, Xiao Fengnian frowned and looked a little dissatisfied at Shiye's expression.
"Xiao Ye, how can you say that about Uncle Xiao? Do you have any manners? Is this what your parents taught you?" As soon as Xia Yun saw Xiao Fengnian was being bullied, she immediately started scolding him, acting like an elder sister, which was very annoying.
"I told you, after mom and dad died, we didn't need to pretend to be sisters because of our relationship. You conspired with others in the northwest and almost killed me at the hands of the Annan people. I will never forget this. Even if Uncle Xiao helps you, I will not forget it. Xia Yun, God sees everything you do. Sooner or later, you will have to pay the price."
Shi also tilted his head to look at her, his eyes moving and smiling coldly, without any concealment.
She didn't care what Xiao Fengnian thought of her now. If this was a person who didn't care about closeness or distance for Xia Yun, then what else could she say? She didn't rely on anyone in her life, and she didn't need to please anyone.
At worst, she could just move out of the Xiao family and live a carefree life. But she didn't know how much the housing price in Yandu was.
Whether in her previous life or this life, she had never worried about this, but now that she thought about it, she felt that she should buy an apartment to live in by herself. After all, Xiao Yue could not be transferred back to Yandu, so he would not be allocated housing and would have to rely on herself.
She would have to discuss this with Xiao Yue later, and take advantage of this vacation to buy an apartment. She wouldn't have to live in the Xiao family when she came back in the future. Living under the same roof with Xia Yun would be troublesome, so she could also bring Tong Muzhen over to live with her for a few days.
