Chapter 970: Did the Star Beast Eat Your Brains?
It can be said that among the mecha soldiers in the team, Xie Tianjie's performance is second only to Gu Ran. However, the so-called performance here is just that he was beaten and rolled on the ground for a few laps. It is not really that outstanding.
However, it is this advantage that Xie Tianjie has already stood in the position of a disciplinarian and began to lecture Xie Tianjie.
Xie Anlin's butt was kicked hard by Xie Yujie again, and he screamed in pain. Seeing that the next kick was about to come, Xie Anlin hugged her thigh directly for the sake of his butt.
"Teacher Xie! Teacher Xie! If you keep kicking me, my butt will be torn into pieces!"
"Little bastard!"
Xie Yujie wanted to retract her leg, but in order to save his butt, Xie Anlin basically hung his whole body on her kicked leg, making her unable to move at all.
It was like a weight was hanging on his leg.
She glared at Xie Anlin unhappily, "Let go! Let go! What are you doing! Do you still have any shame?"
Xie Anlin hugged her tighter, not feeling embarrassed at all, "The butt is more important, what's the use of the face?"
Xie Yujie laughed out of anger, "Let go! Next one! Go over there!"
Xie Anlin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly went over there, not caring whether he was embarrassed or not.
When he rolled to the side, he kept rubbing his waist, legs, and buttocks. There was no way, it was too painful. This was the first time for such high-intensity training.
He deeply felt Xie Yujie's fighting ability. He was indeed a tough guy who was always at the forefront and fighting bloody battles! His skills were so neat!
Xie Anlin was squatting in the corner, watching Xie Yujie training others one-on-one, and Xie Tianjie started again.
"Anlin, you can't go on like this. How can our Xie family not even bear the hardship of training?"
"Your behavior just now was very inappropriate!"
"I know you have always wanted to gain your parents' recognition, but your current behavior is too inappropriate. If your parents knew that you behaved like this in school, they would definitely be even more disappointed!"
"If you want your parents to accept you, you have to work harder! How can you avoid training all day?"
Xie Anlin scratched his ear with one hand, very impatient, "It's enough that they like you! If they don't like me, then they don't like me."
He sat on the ground without any image, leaning against the wall, with one leg bent, and said nonchalantly, "You just need to work harder on your own, so that Commander Xie and Mrs. Xie will like you more."
Xie Tianlin Jie was very dissatisfied with Xie Anlin's attitude, and his tone became much more serious, "I am doing this for your sake. If you don't know how to work hard and can't even bear this little hardship, then you can't blame your parents for paying more attention to me and caring about me more!"
Xie Tianrui, who had just finished training, had been standing here and listening for a while, "What kind of attitude is this? You don't know how to be kind! Xiaojie has always been thinking about you! Planning for you!"
Here comes another one!
Xie Anlin, who has already made money and will not lack resources in the future, has little tolerance for these people in the Xie family.
"Yes, yes, yes! You are right!"
This perfunctory attitude has already overflowed, Xie Tianrui's brows wrinkled even more tightly, as if a fist hit a cotton ball, soft and fluffy, and in the end he was the only one who was angry.
"Today is a family dinner, don't forget to go home after the training." Xie Tianrui immediately changed the subject.
"Ah?" Xie Anlin was a little reluctant.
If it was before, he would look forward to every family dinner, the family would eat together, warm and noisy, such memories have been deeply buried in his heart.
He thought that when he returned to the Xie family, he would have a group of family members and would no longer be alone.
But facts proved that he was really too naive.
Everything was just his wishful thinking.
In the past, he still thought that he must change this situation, and his family should not be like this.
Now——
"What? Don't tell me, you even forgot the time of the family dinner?" Xie Tianrui was very dissatisfied with his attitude.
Thinking of the last time they were called home overnight, but only he and Xiaojie went back. They waited for Xie Anlin at home for most of the night, and in the end it was the driver who took him home!
This time, something like this must not happen again.
"It's rare for my aunt to be home. She hasn't attended a family dinner for four or five years. Don't even think about running away!"
Xie Anlin sighed, thought about his plan, and reluctantly said, "Okay."
This tone sounded like someone was begging him to go home. Xie Tianrui's expression became even more ugly, "Don't forget your last name is Xie. Before you do anything outside, you must remember your identity! Don't embarrass the Xie family!"
Xie Anlin was even more annoyed. Whoever wants such a big brother can have one!
"He talks about the Xie family when he opens his mouth and talks about the Xie family when he closes his mouth. Linzi is really unlucky. He was actually found home by your Xie family. Not only did his identity as a member of the Xie family bring him nothing, but he was also restricted everywhere!"
Gu Ran complained speechlessly.
Xie Tianrui: "This is our Xie family's business and has nothing to do with you. It is the most basic etiquette not to interfere in other people's family affairs!"
Gu Ran disliked this man the most. He snorted coldly, "I am seeing injustice and doing justice! Your family treats us so differently, and you don't let people talk?"
Xie Anlin pulled his arm, struggled to stand up, and rubbed his butt with his other hand, "It's impossible to reason with someone with a problem in the brain. Don't waste your energy!"
Xie Tianrui with a problem in the brain: "..."
This man is really getting more and more out of line, and he is becoming less and less respectful to him. After all, he is his eldest brother!
Xie Tianrui wanted to say something else, but Gu Ran had already started chatting with Xie Anlin. Gu Ran talked so much that Xie Tianrui couldn't get a word in.
Gu Ran was just feeling regretful. Originally, they were going to have dinner together in the rental house that night. Xie Anlin cooked, Gu Ran ordered the dishes, and he ate shredded apples.
How could he not feel regretful that the Xie family would not have any family dinner?
Moreover, his regret was not just ordinary, but full of emotion.
While announcing the names of the dishes, he described the taste of each dish. I don't know where he got so many adjectives. The descriptions were so vivid that the people around him were already drooling.
Later, Xie Tianrui had forgotten what he wanted to say before.
The Xie family dinner is a tradition of the Xie family. Every once in a while, the whole family will have a meal at the Xie family.
Although it is a family dinner, there are still many people eating at the same table. Basically, other outstanding branches in the capital star will participate.
It can be said that the family dinner once a quarter is a rare family activity of the Xie family and an important channel for family information exchange.
Xie Tianjie especially likes family dinners, and he is the one who is praised every time.
This time is the same. At the family dinner, Wei Jing took Xie Tianrui to socialize everywhere and communicate and exchange feelings. Basically, every time she met someone, she had to show off her son's excellent performance in the military academy.
What followed was the other party's free praise. Wei Jing felt so comfortable. After pretending to be humble and polite, she praised the other party symbolically. It was a typical business flattery.
Xie Tianjie stood by Wei Jing the whole time, behaved properly and was polite. They were really a good mother and son!
As for Xie Tianrui, as the eldest son of the Xie family, he naturally had to stand by Xie Feng. In the future, the Xie family would be handed over to him.
Watching everyone busy socializing, Xie Anlin sat comfortably on a chair in the corner, eating various small cakes.
Although the taste was not as good as what he got from the store manager Sang, it was still good to eat occasionally after not eating for a long time.
It was also interesting to watch the show quietly.
But this leisure time did not last long.
"Anlin, this won't do. Look how much your mother likes Xiaojie. If you don't work harder, the huge family business of the Xie family will belong to your elder brother and Xiaojie!"
Xie Anlin nodded repeatedly, agreeing very much, "I'm really not good enough. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Xie Tianrui and Xie Tianjie are so outstanding, it is only right for them to inherit the Xie family."
The other party: "..."
Another person said, "Anlin, parents all like outstanding children. Look at how outstanding Xiaojie is. Your parents naturally like him very much. You have to work hard! You have to work hard! Otherwise, how can your parents see you?"
Xie Anlin buried his head in eating the cakes and said perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, yes! Xie Tianjie is outstanding, he deserves to be favored, let him continue to be so outstanding."
He didn't have the energy to interfere.
The other party: "..."
How is this different from before?
Seeing Xie Anlin's lazy and unmotivated look, everyone felt powerless.
So many people felt the frustration Xie Tianrui felt when facing Xie Anlin on the training ground today.
In the end, everyone had to leave.
Xie Anlin suddenly felt that the air around him was fresher, especially when he saw Xie Yujie being surrounded by people and being asked questions by a group of people. He didn't even have time to drink water, so he took a sip of the drink.
Delicious! So
refreshing!
He rubbed his butt that was swollen from being kicked today, and he looked more energetic!
Xie Yujie actually had no interest in the family dinner. She came back today mainly because she heard that Xie Feng had returned, and she came to ask for money.
She was just Xie Anlin's aunt, not his parents. When did the Xie family become so poor?
They couldn't even afford to raise a child? They didn't even know how to give living expenses!
Xie Yujie came to ask for living expenses for Xie Anlin, to ensure that after she returned to the front line, this shameless nephew would not end up on the street because of lack of living expenses!
How could she have known that she would be pestered by such a group of people as soon as she came.
"Did Gu Changqing, the favorite son, really sell you the priceless spiritual healing potion?"
"What conditions did you put forward to let Gu Changqing sell the potion to you?"
"How many star coins did you spend on this potion, which is so effective?"
...
Xie Yujie felt that her head was about to explode.
She took two steps back and tried to break through the encirclement of these so-called relatives, but it was impossible. These people were obviously very curious about these questions, and perhaps they came here with a mission.
And Xie Yujie is now the only one who got this spiritual healing potion from the Gu family. On weekdays, she is either in the barracks or in school, and they can't see her at all.
How could they miss such an opportunity to inquire face to face and find out information face to face?
However, Xie Yujie had a cold face and looked like she didn't want anyone to get close to her, so everyone really couldn't do anything to her.
After all, if this lady was angered, she would really take action.
Especially now that she has come to the front line, left the troops, left the barracks, and has fewer restrictions, she doesn't need to consider anything if she wants to take action.
Moreover, it's not like Xie Yujie hasn't done such a thing before.
Let's put it this way, among so many people in the family dinner, the only one who can beat her is Xie Feng.
So in the end, only Xie Feng stopped her.
Everyone knew that Xie Feng was able to stop the enemy not because he was the head of the army, but because he was her superior in terms of position, not because he was her elder brother, and not because he was the head of the Xie family.
It was just because Xie Feng was double S-level, while Xie Yujie was only S-level. She could not beat him, whether in mecha combat or driving mecha.
"How much do you know about the situation in the Gu family? How effective is the mental medicine that can treat Gu Ran on you?"
Xie Feng asked in a deep voice.
Everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"I'm not a businessman. You should ask your sister-in-law about the business side of the Gu family. Isn't she the one running all the companies of the Xie family? As for news, she knows more details, right?"
Xie Yujie was not passing the buck. She had never investigated these things at all, and she didn't want to investigate these messy things.
She had already got the weird-smelling and smelly mental power treatment potion, so there was no need to investigate these things.
Wei Jing had a lot of opinions about Xie Yujie, and the two of them had always been at odds. After hearing her answer, she said unhappily, "If I have any news here, I know it, and your eldest brother knows it too. Is there any need to ask you?"
Xie Yujie also looked down on her, "That's hard to say. You don't even give your son living expenses. You don't even remember such a simple thing. Who knows if you can do such an important thing as investigating the Gu family?"
Wei Jing, who was very proud, was naturally even more annoyed when her ability was questioned at a family dinner.
"Don't talk nonsense here. When did I stop giving my child living expenses? I personally transferred Xiaojie's living expenses to his account. This time he passed the team member selection for the Star Alliance Competition, and I also gave him an additional bonus of 1 million star coins!"
Listening to her explanation so righteously, Xie Yujie was speechless, "Don't you only have Xie Tianjie as your son?"
Wei Jing mocked, "Xie Yujie, you are not at home all year round, how much do you know about the family affairs?"
"When Xiao Rui participated in the Star Alliance Tournament in his sophomore year, he already had the right to use his portion of the funds independently! I didn't have to give him living expenses on a regular basis every month!"
Wei Jing raised her voice, righteous and confident, with an increasingly sarcastic look in her eyes, "So, don't make comments on things you don't understand! Otherwise, you'll be laughed at and made a fool of yourself!"
