"You're so petty. Isn't Xuanxuan just as close to you? Your uncle just got back, and it's a bit of a novelty. You're getting jealous over this little thing? I never knew you were so jealous before."
"I've always been like this, haven't you noticed?"
Xi Ran belatedly nodded, realizing that Chu Jiang was indeed a rare and jealous person.
Chu Jiang looked at Xi Ran pitifully. She was his daughter. How could his uncle change his attitude as soon as he came back? It would be strange if he felt good about it.
He's closer to her than anyone else, no wonder he feels bad, and it's hard for him not to be jealous.
Xi Ran was too embarrassed to look. She likes to eat vinegar, so she stir-fried some sour shredded potatoes for lunch, adding extra vinegar so you can eat your fill.
A grown man who's jealous of his own daughter—how petty!
"Oh right, you forgot your phone when you took your daughter out to play earlier. Xiao Zhebin just called and asked you to call him back when you have time. He has something important to talk to you about."
Chu Jiangyi raised an eyebrow. "Why did he contact me? Did he say anything just now? He's currently in the throes of a sweet romance. It's unbelievable that he would think of me."
Xi Ran rolled her eyes at Chu Jiangyi. Xiao Zhebin wasn't as bad as he made him out to be.
She felt that Xiao Zhebin had a lot of bad luck, and now that he had finally found his happiness, his good friends should be very happy.
Look at what Chu Jiangyi is saying!
Is it polite to portray Xiao Zhebin as someone who prioritizes women over friends?
never mind!
This man is currently experiencing jealousy, and it's a truly heartbreaking situation.
She was too lazy to say anything; she could be jealous whenever she wanted.
Eating more vinegar is good for your health, that's great.
“I’m not really sure either. Xiao Zhebin just said a few words casually. I don’t know much about your business partnership. You can talk to him on the phone later.”
"However, Xiao Zhebin said that this phase of investment has ended, and the next round of investment will not yield dividends until the end of the year. He asked you to call him back when you have time."
"I see. I didn't expect that this kid, who was so listless at work, is now doing so well in business. He really chose the right path. His love life is also going well. People are in high spirits when they have good things happening. He's been in pretty good shape lately."
Xi Ran agreed wholeheartedly. Xiao Zhebin was finally not as dejected as he had been recently, and he seemed much more energetic, which was great.
Xiao Zhebin was the worst off of the four men back then, but now he has everything and has found a good girlfriend.
Success in both love and career.
"Yes, I hope everything goes smoothly for him in the future."
"Yes, I recently invested a lot of money in him, and he has made a lot of money. Of course, I have also benefited a lot. Qiu Bojie and Wen Jincheng have spare money, so they all invested it in Xiao Zhebin and made a little money. They are living a prosperous life. It's great. I didn't expect that Xiao Zhebin is so good at doing business. I am very happy for him."
Xi Ran strongly agreed, and from that moment on, Xiao Zhebin's life began to be rewritten.
Everyone achieved some success back then, except for Xiao Zhebin, who fared the worst but now earns a decent income.
He should be considered the one who earns the most money among the four.
As they chatted, they both became quite emotional, and before they knew it, the two who had gone out to buy gifts had finally returned.
"dad!"
Chu Xuan threw herself directly into Chu Jiangyi's arms.
Chu Jiang also grabbed him.
"Dad, do you know? My uncle bought some tonics for Grandma Zhang as a gift."
"What kind of supplement?"
"It's that oral liquid... The pretty auntie said that if you take it... you'll become very healthy... and you won't get sick."
"That's great, Aunt Zhang will definitely like it."
"Yes, yes! I also think Grandma Zhang will like it."
The father and daughter were chatting away when Xi Ran poked her head out of the kitchen and called out.
"Dinner's ready, help serve the dishes."
Xi Yan rushed over to help.
Not to be outdone, Chu Xuan followed Xi Yan eagerly, wanting to help, but was grabbed by Chu Jiangyi.
“Our little Xuanxuan, sit still and be good. Leave everything else to your dad and uncle. Just wait for dinner to start. You're too small to carry the dishes. Be good.”
Chu Xuan pouted and reluctantly replied, "Fine!"
Although somewhat reluctant, I finally nodded.
"Good boy!"
Chu Jiang also kissed his little girl's fair face.
His daughter is so well-behaved and adorable.
After setting out the dishes, the four of them sat down in turn. Chu Xuan sat in a high chair, and Chu Jiang also served her a lot of her favorite dishes.
"It's a little hot, blow on it to cool it down before you eat it, okay?"
"Yes! Thank you, Dad!"
Xi Ran took the soup that Chu Jiangyi ladled out and drank it sip by sip, inevitably bringing up Xi Yan's marriage prospects.
"Xi Yan! You're not getting any younger, haven't you thought about dating or settling down? After four years in Beijing, really no one has caught your eye? If you really can't find anyone you like, how about I arrange a few blind dates for you? I have several friends who are kindergarten teachers, how about that..."
Xi Yan blushed and quickly refused. He already had a girlfriend, so how could he go on a blind date?
"Sister! Don't worry about my affairs. I know what I'm doing."
"What's there to worry about? I didn't have a girlfriend in four years of college. Now that I've graduated, it'll be even harder to find someone. Of course I'm worried."
Chu Xuan's eyes darted back and forth across everyone's faces. Xi Yan gave Chu Xuan a wink, and Chu Xuan acknowledged it, giving Xi Yan a subtle hint in return.
Xi Ran and Chu Jiang were completely unaware of their interaction.
"Mom, don't worry, Uncle already has a girlfriend..."
