At this moment, another man walked in from outside. He was dressed in white with black hair, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle and refined, and his eyes were clear and bright. He was so elegant that the hall seemed to be illuminated as soon as he entered.
It seemed like a trick of the mind, but Feng Guang felt that he glanced at her more than once when he walked in. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she squinted at him for a long time, and then her body stiffened.
She recognized him.
The man walked past her without looking at her, and chuckled softly, "I'm sorry for my son's late return."
"It's good that you're back." Grandma Xie smiled broadly.
Seeing this, Feng Guang was quite surprised. Putting aside the fact that the person who wanted to commit suicide last night was Xie Zhan, it was really strange that this old lady, who always had a stern face and never smiled, could be laughing so happily.
However, considering that the old lady always doted on her youngest son, it wasn't surprising that she was smiling so happily.
Xie Zhan then looked at Xie Xun and Zhao Wan with a smile, "Big brother, sister-in-law."
Xie Xun smiled and said, "It's been many years, and Third Brother's demeanor is even more astonishing."
"Brother, you flatter me." Xie Zhan's gentle gaze naturally fell on Feng Guang again. "I suppose this must be your daughter, Feng Guang."
She paused for a moment, then silently shifted her gaze. She hadn't forgotten how hard she had kicked him.
"Hello, Third Uncle!" Feng Guang didn't say anything, but Huan'er, who was sitting next to her, greeted her obediently, which greatly eased Feng Guang's embarrassment.
Xie Zhan smiled again, "Huan'er is so well-behaved and cute, and Feng Guang is so gentle and charming. My elder brother and sister-in-law are truly blessed to have two such wonderful daughters."
Feng Guang ignored Xie Xun's glare at her for not greeting her. She felt that Xie Zhan's words "gentle and charming" were full of hidden meaning. Look, even though everyone was talking to her, she didn't say a word. Wasn't that quiet gentleness? And that kick she gave her last night... that wasn't just charming, it was extremely charming!
But looking at Xie Zhan's gentle and refined appearance, Feng Guang felt that he was not the kind of person who would say such things.
Xie Zhao glanced at his son, who was standing awkwardly in the center of the hall, and asked Xie Zhan, "Third brother, what's wrong with Jie'er? Shouldn't he be at school at this time?"
How could Xie Zhan possibly suppress her?
Xie Zhan smiled, "Why don't you ask Jie'er herself, Second Brother?"
Tan Rou thought to herself that her son must have gotten into trouble again. Although she knew that because Xie Jie was the only grandson of the Xie family, the old lady would not punish him, Xie Xun's family had just returned, and she did not want to be laughed at by the eldest son's family. She forced a smile and said, "Jie'er, please explain things clearly. There must be some misunderstanding, right?"
"I..." Xie Jie glanced timidly at his third uncle, only managing a stuttering "I" before he couldn't utter any other words.
Xie Zhao suppressed his anger, "Since you won't tell me, Third Brother, then you tell me."
"The matter is actually quite simple." Xie Zhan smiled and said leisurely, "On the way back, I happened to run into Xie Jie walking on the street. He seemed to be discussing with his cronies about going to a brothel for some fun."
"Thank you!" Xie Zhao slammed his fist on the table, furious.
Xie Jie shuddered and looked to his mother for help, but Tan Rou only glared at him and didn't say anything. She had always hated men who frequented brothels.
