Just as Xiao Qianshan was lost in thought, several tall figures stepped into the hall.
Two beautiful and gentle women walked in front of him. They bowed and called Xiao Qianshan "Father" before sitting down gracefully beside Xiao Yuxuan and Xiao Linzui.
She is clearly the couple's wife.
Following behind the two were a young man and a young woman.
The man was neatly dressed, with a handsome face, and his features were quite similar to Xiao Linzui's, as was his gentle temperament.
He is Xiao Jingyuan, the son of Xiao Linzui.
Another woman was wearing a suit skirt and carrying an exquisite leather bag. Her long, slender legs were visible beneath the skirt, and her high-heeled boots clicked loudly.
With each graceful step, her large, wavy hair swayed in the wind; her striking features, accentuated by bright red lipstick, exuded a radiant and flamboyant aura.
As soon as she stepped into the hall, Xiao Yuxuan's already tense expression furrowed even deeper. His voice was low and slightly reprimanding:
"Fengyin, how many times have I told you that when you go back to the old house to see your grandfather, you should dress formally? Can't you learn from Jingyuan?"
Xiao Fengyin's fox-like eyes were captivatingly upturned, and her smile was as bright and warm as the sunshine.
"Dad, I'm at least a semi-artist, why do you keep nitpicking about my clothes?"
"Do I have to dress like you and my mother, trying to cover up every single finger to be considered dignified?"
“Grandpa never says anything, but you just keep going on and on.”
As she spoke, she turned her slightly aggrieved gaze to Xiao Qianshan, her smile so warm that it was impossible to feel the urge to reprimand her.
"Grandpa, you're right, aren't you?"
Xiao Qianshan's expression softened slightly, and he spoke in a low voice without a smile:
“You young people have your own preferences, you don’t need to make things difficult for an old man like me.”
Xiao Fengyin walked gracefully towards the seat behind Xiao Yuxuan, and as she passed by him, she didn't forget to pat his shoulder twice:
"Dad, did you hear that?"
"If Grandpa has no objections, please stop nagging me."
"Go and nag your subordinates more, tell them to work harder and save up more dowry for me. I've always hoped my father would become a dragon among men!"
Xiao Yuxuan's face stiffened when she slapped him, and anger appeared on his face, but the doting in his eyes could not be hidden.
His lips had just moved when his gaze fell upon Xiao Fengyin's arrogant smile, and he unconsciously swallowed back the words of reprimand he was about to say.
Finally, he sat up straight, his face contorted with a headache, and sighed and shook his head.
Xiao Fengyin was his only child, but if it weren't for the paternity test results, he would have seriously doubted whether the child was his biological child.
He and his wife had lived a life of mutual respect and were both steady and reliable people. However, their daughter turned out to be a troublesome and unruly little devil.
Born into a family like theirs, they didn't study finance or science and engineering, but preferred painting.
He has dressed strangely since childhood and has not been disciplined. Now he is twenty-seven years old, unmarried and unrequited, does not join the family business, does not care about anything, and spends his days doing all sorts of strange arts.
He even felt that giving birth to her as a daughter was something he owed her in his past life. Xiao Fengyin had a lively personality and was best at acting pitiful and coquettish in front of him.
Every time she puts on that "I'll cry myself to death if you say another word" look, no matter how much he dislikes her, he can't bring himself to scold her.
Xiao Yuxuan sighed, a mixture of indulgence and helplessness in his voice. He glanced at his watch and asked in a low voice:
"You haven't forgotten to tell your third uncle and aunt to come over, have you?"
The third brother lost his child right after birth. He didn't say it out loud, but as the eldest brother, he knew how much his third brother envied other people's children who were growing up healthy and strong.
Although my little devil is a bit of a troublemaker, he's a real charmer who knows how to please everyone.
Over the years, he has encouraged Xiao Fengyin to visit her and her husband more often to alleviate their longing for their son.
Xiao Fengyin is truly admirable in this respect; he treats his third son and his wife even more affectionately than his own father.
The three brothers had nothing to say to Xiao Fengyin either. When she turned eighteen, they gave her one-third of the shares in a multinational corporation. With those shares alone, she could live a life of comfort and security, even if she just lay around waiting to die.
Xiao Fengyin lightly brushed a curl of hair behind her ear, sat down gracefully, and replied impatiently, "What time is it? Why are you here so early, Uncle and Aunt?"
Do you want me to listen to your nagging?
Xiao Yuxuan was almost choked by her words, but Xiao Fengyin ignored him and instead looked intently at Xiao Wujie and Chu Liyue opposite her:
"Dad, Second Uncle, who is this handsome man and beautiful woman...?"
Xiao Linzui said with a smile, "These two are Xiao Wujie and Miss Chu Liyue from the capital."
Xiao Fengyin's eyes lit up: "The eldest daughter of the Chu family in the capital and her fiancé?"
As Xiao Linzui nodded with a light laugh, Xiao Fengyin placed her handbag on the chair, stood up, and walked towards the two of them, laughing as she went:
"I recognized her as soon as I came in. Sure enough, she was the protagonist of the legendary sibling romance in the capital three years ago."
She approached Chu Liyue first, and before she even reached her, she said casually, "Miss Chu, don't be offended, and you don't need to get up. As someone who studied painting, I couldn't resist coming closer to see your stunning looks."
She leaned closer to Chu Liyue, her gaze so intense that Xiao Wujie wanted to hide Chu Liyue away.
Fortunately, Xiao Fengyin only looked and didn't touch it, clicking her tongue as she looked: "Beautiful! So beautiful!"
"She's absolutely stunning from every angle, even more beautiful than my third aunt was when she was young."
Chu Liyue sat with an elegant and noble posture, her beautiful and aloof features barely registering her gaze.
Xiao Fengyin couldn't help but lick her lips lightly: "I really want you to be my model. Don't worry, you'll be the one wearing the clothes."
"Of course, I would be happier if you didn't want to wear it, but I know you wouldn't."
"If you have time... never mind, I know you don't have time."
Her passionate yet slightly regretful gaze made Xiao Wujie wonder if she was a little different in her orientation, but when her gaze fell on him, Xiao Wujie denied the idea from the bottom of his heart.
Her gaze was intensely equal, and she showed no restraint towards him, a man of the opposite sex.
Her gaze swept over his features inch by inch, so passionate and unrestrained that Chu Liyue couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly.
Behind them, Xiao Yuxuan also spoke up in a deep voice: "Feng Yin, that's enough. These two are distinguished guests that your grandfather brought back from the capital. What kind of behavior is this?"
Xiao Fengyin ignored him, her eyes filled with a strange light, and asked Xiao Wujie with a smile, "Little brother, how old are you?"
Xiao Wujie felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and subconsciously glanced at Chu Liyue. Before he could look away, he heard Xiao Fengyin say:
"Hey, don't worry, unless you're willing, I won't forcibly take a woman who's already taken."
Xiao Wujie's gaze paused for a moment, then he replied coldly, "Twenty."
Xiao Fengyin nodded slightly: "Yes, she has a mature demeanor, but she looks very young."
"However, you seem a little weak..."
Xiao Wujie was almost caught off guard, but then she continued, "Also, you look... a bit like my third uncle and aunt."
"Hmm... if their child hadn't been lost, he would be about twenty years old by now."
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall froze.
