Xie Zhao put down his chopsticks and angrily said, "Xie Jie!"
Xie Xun and Zhao Wan's expressions both darkened.
Xie Huan suddenly stood up and threw her chopsticks at Xie Jie, shouting, "You're not allowed to bully my sister!"
Without missing a beat, the chopsticks landed squarely on Xie Jie's face.
Tan Rou couldn't sit still any longer. "Hey, how could you throw things and hit people?"
Zhao Wan smiled and said, "Fengguang and Huan'er are very close sisters, please don't take offense, sister-in-law."
"No matter how good your relationship is, you can't throw things at someone or hit them!"
"Enough!" Xie Zhao said, "Jie'er was in the wrong. Huan'er is small and weak. What's wrong with her throwing something over there?"
Tan Rou was so angry that she wanted to hit Xie Zhao's face with a pair of chopsticks.
Xie Jie, who was known for his bluntness, realized he had said the wrong thing. Of course, he couldn't reveal that he had been tricked, as that would be too embarrassing. But he wasn't one to back down easily. He stood up and simply said, "So what if I don't want to sit with her?"
"Brother..." Just when everyone thought that Feng Guang, who was being rejected, would remain awkwardly silent, she spoke up. Not only did she speak, but her eyes were filled with tears as she pitifully asked in a trembling voice, "Don't you like me?"
Before Feng Guang, Xie Jie had never heard anyone call him "brother." Although he did have a half-sister, she was born out of wedlock, and they didn't get along. Xie Yaoyao would only politely and distantly call him "brother." So, upon hearing Feng Guang's pitiful "brother," Xie Jie's body went limp.
The idea of having a younger sister is something that many boys still yearn for.
Xie Jie stammered, unable to speak, while Feng Guang turned around and said, "Since you dislike me so much, I'll have someone add another stool for me on the other side, so I can be further away from you and avoid getting in your way."
Feng Guang's words made it seem like a fragile girl was pretending to be strong, which was quite pitiful. That was exactly what she meant, to put on a pitiful appearance and gain people's sympathy. But she didn't expect Xie Jie to grab her hand.
He not only grabbed her hand, but also said awkwardly, "This is so annoying, just sit here."
After saying that, he pulled Feng Guang back to sit down, then placed a plate of meat in front of Feng Guang and, seemingly to ease her discomfort, loudly said, "Eat!"
As the only male among the grandchildren, Xie Jie was undoubtedly the little tyrant of the Xie family. Grandma Xie usually wouldn't interfere with him, such as speaking loudly at the dinner table. Grandma Xie and Tan Rou both doted on Xie Jie, which led to his increasingly arrogant personality.
Little did he know that he would one day feel embarrassed.
Not only were the old ladies who pretended not to see Xie Jie bullying Feng Guang shocked, but even Xie Jie's biological parents were speechless, not to mention Xie Yaoyao, who had always looked down on Xie Jie.
Feng Guang had no choice but to sit down again, but she didn't dare touch the plate of meat in front of her.
Xie Zhan chuckled softly, "It seems that Jie'er has become much more sensible while I was away."
Tan Rou smiled broadly again, "That's right, our Jie'er is the best-behaved."
Xie Nu, who was still angry, had no choice but to sit back quietly.
After this little incident, the atmosphere at the dinner table became a bit strange. At this moment, Grandma Xie spoke up, "How has Jie'er been doing with his studies lately?"
