"Grandpa, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room now." Xu Chengzhi lowered his eyes, his gaze refusing to spare a single glance for Lin Yang.
It seems... she's really angry?
Lin Yang carefully observed Xu Chengzhi's expression. Just like when she first met him, he showed no emotional fluctuations, as if nothing concerned him.
Like a winter plant standing on a high mountain, living on an iceberg year after year, its entire body is eroded by the cold.
"You brat, where are you going?" Grandpa Xu wasn't about to let him go, and he pulled him back. "Stay here properly. You're so rude to your sister Lin Yang. Where did all the manners and etiquette I taught you go? You're really disgracing the Xu family. I'm so angry."
As Grandpa Xu spoke, he seemed to get really angry, clutching his chest, puffing out his beard, glaring, and panting heavily.
When Grandpa Xu did this, Xu Chengzhi, who was very filial, dared not move. He helped Grandpa Xu sit on the sofa and patted his back to help him catch his breath.
"Grandpa, you're right. Calm down. It's your unfilial son who's wronged." Xu Chengzhi was quite adept at admitting his mistakes in front of his grandfather.
"Come, come, Yangyang, come sit next to Grandpa." Grandpa Xu patted the empty seat next to him, gesturing for Lin Yang to sit down.
Lin Yang glanced at Xu Chengzhi, who kept his head down, deliberately avoiding looking at her. "Isn't this inappropriate, Grandpa?"
While saying this, seeing that Xu Chengzhi did not say anything to resist, Lin Yang walked over instead of speaking.
"Yangyang, you're still as mischievous and adorable as ever." Grandpa Xu's eyes lit up with a smile as he watched Lin Yang's series of actions.
It seems the original owner had quite a connection with the Xu family.
To avoid revealing her identity, Lin Yang went along with Grandpa Xu's words, "You're still the same as before, just as good to Yangyang~"
Towards the end, she even drew out the last syllable with a hint of coquetry.
Grandpa Xu affectionately patted Lin Yang's head, "You always use this phrase to make me happy. If our Chengzhi could learn even half of your essence, he wouldn't make me so angry every time!"
As he spoke, Grandpa Xu deliberately turned his head and glared at Xu Chengzhi next to him.
Xu Chengzhi didn't answer, he just silently endured it.
"Haha, no, Brother Xu is a very filial son." Lin Yang laughed and spoke up for Xu Chengzhi, trying to win back Xu Chengzhi's favor.
She ruined her own goodwill and now has to slowly rebuild it. Is there anyone more miserable than Lin Yang?
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Xu Chengzhi, who still acted as if nothing was happening to him, his gaze not moving an inch in his direction.
"Yangyang, you really haven't changed at all. You've always been siding with that taciturn guy since you were little." Grandpa Xu, having seen through life's experiences, noticed something amiss and turned to Xu Chengzhi, speaking sternly, "What's wrong? You haven't given Yangyang a kind look since she came in. You're thirty years old, and you're still throwing tantrums at Yangyang? Yangyang, a girl, hasn't said anything, so why are you being so petty? How did our Xu family produce such a narrow-minded man like you?"
Grandpa Xu launched into a tirade, turning Xu Chengzhi's face green with anger, but he still didn't dare to utter a single word in response.
"Grandpa Xu, it was Yangyang who made Brother Xu angry. Today, I've actually come to apologize to Brother Xu. This gift is actually for Brother Xu." After holding it in for a long time, Lin Yang finally explained the truth.
He kept calling me "Brother Xu," didn't he like hearing that before?
This time, I should be able to win back their favor, right?
