Chu Xixuan looked back at Lan Ziye, thought for a moment, and replied: "The Eighth Miss of the Lan Family, Lan Ziye, is now my bodyguard!"
Lan Ziye smiled awkwardly, stepped forward, bowed politely, and explained, "Young Master Chu lost his spiritual power in order to save me. Until his spiritual power is restored, I agreed to be his bodyguard!"
"Brother Chu saved you?" Jin Ruoxi shouted in astonishment.
As soon as she said that, Jin Ruoxi realized her mistake and smiled awkwardly at the old man, saying, "This is so... so unexpected!"
"It's quite unexpected!" The old man looked at Chu Xixuan meaningfully.
Then his expression softened a bit as he continued, "Since you're here, you're a guest!" He then instructed the servant standing behind him, "Yu Ma, bring some more bowls and chopsticks!"
Yu Ma quickly responded and ordered other servants to add more bowls, chopsticks and seats.
Just as the servants were bringing in the dishes and chairs, Jin Ruoxi said, "Put him next to Second Brother!"
Chu Xining, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked up at Jin Ruoxi, his eyes full of disgust. This guy is really a big troublemaker!
The old man looked at Chu Xining with curiosity.
Before Chu Xining could speak, Jin Ruoxi had already walked up to the old man, smiling and saying in a sweet voice, "Grandpa, you might not know this yet! Second Brother and Miss Lan are classmates and have a very good relationship! A while ago, Miss Lan was bullied in the cafeteria, and it was Second Brother who came to her aid. It's a pity that Meng Qi and the others were forced to drop out of school just because they said a few bad words about Miss Lan!"
"Were you bullied?"
"Is that true?"
Chu Xixuan and the old man spoke at the same time. Chu Xixuan looked at Lan Ziye while the old man looked at Chu Xining.
Chu Xining looked at Chu Xixuan innocently: Is he being blamed?
Lan Ziye smiled awkwardly and said, "That...that..." Hey! What should she say? Lan Ziye turned his gaze to Chu Xining. "You should explain it to your family yourself! She didn't shamelessly ask you for help!"
When Chu Xixuan saw Lan Ziye looking at Chu Xining, his face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his aura also became two points colder.
Chu Xining shuddered. He had a bad feeling as if he was being pricked by a thorn. He looked up and met Lan Ziye's gaze. Chu Xining was about to cry. "Why are you looking at me?"
Chu Xining stiffly turned his gaze away and looked at his grandfather, explaining with an embarrassed look on his face, "It's not because of classmate Lan, it's mainly because those three classmates always bully others by taking advantage of their power. I've long been fed up with it. I just happened to see them bullying classmate Lan that day, so I'm doing this to eliminate this evil and for the reputation of our Lanxuan Academy!"
"Second brother, you are so righteous!" Jin Ruoxi laughed deliberately. "Whether or not Second Brother did this for Miss Lan, shouldn't Miss Lan be grateful to Second Brother? It's very appropriate for her to sit with Second Brother!"
"She is my bodyguard, so naturally she has to sit next to me!" Chu Xixuan, who had been silent with a sullen face, suddenly spoke.
The servants were stunned and looked at the old man. They didn't dare to disobey Chu Xixuan, but they also didn't dare to offend Jin Ruoxi, the eldest daughter of the Jin family who came to the Chu family every now and then! The key point was that this eldest daughter of the Jin family might very well be their mistress in the future.
"What? My words are useless in this family?" Chu Xixuan's voice became even colder.
