Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1496 - 1256:
Previously on Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All...
Gao Xinyue’s voice wasn’t loud, but her tone was full of grievance, as if she’d been bullied fiercely by Jhiang Xuanyuan.
"I may not be talking to you, but I hate hearing you talk!"
Jhiang Xuanyuan pointed to the door: "Leave quickly if you’re going, don’t disturb us here anymore!"
Holding back and holding back, Gao Xinyue ultimately couldn’t hold back, and "wah" burst into tears.
Hearing the cries of his beloved granddaughter from upstairs, Old Master Gao couldn’t sit still, hurriedly got up, and went to the second floor.
Elder Xi followed closely behind.
This was his home, and with something happening between the children, he, as the host, could not ignore it.
More than ten minutes later, Old Master Gao left the Xi Family with Gao Xinyue in his arms, while Min Rui, accompanied by Bun and Tangyuan, and the little friends Xi Chenyu and Jhiang Xuanyuan, also went down to the first floor.
"Little Sister Guoguo, come on, let me take you around our compound."
Jhiang Xuanyuan took Guoguo’s hand and led Xiao Guoguo towards the door of the Xi Family’s living room, Bun and Tangyuan naturally walked behind Jhiang Xuanyuan and Guoguo, Xi Chenyu witnessing this, watched Jhiang Xuanyuan’s back for quite some time, then hurriedly chased after them after greeting Elder Xi.
Min Rui naturally couldn’t rest easy with Bun, Tangyuan, and the others being led out by Jhiang Xuanyuan, since Jhiang Xuanyuan was only slightly older than Bun and Tangyuan, even with Xi Chenyu beside them, he too was just a little bean.
Smiling, he said something to Elder Xi, stretched his long legs, and soon caught up with the five little fellows.
Jhiang Xuanyuan was an excellent guide, wherever she went she introduced it to Guoguo and Bun, and Tangyuan, where something wasn’t fully explained, Xi Chenyu helped fill in.
The five little beans together looked adorable no matter how you viewed them, passersby often approached to tease them.
But when their gaze fell on Min Rui’s face, these passersby almost froze for a moment, one of them even failing to snap back to reality after Min Rui walked far with the five little ones.
...
Xiao Family.
"Weren’t you off visiting? Why are you back so soon?" Father Xiao sitting in the living room reading the newspaper, upon hearing hurried footsteps entering the living room, shifted his attention away from the newspaper and looked at Mrs. Xiao puzzled.
Indeed, it was Mrs. Xiao who walked into the living room, the mother of the brothers Xiao Jin and Xiao Shen.
"Old Xiao!"
Mrs. Xiao gasped, picking up Father Xiao’s water cup and took a sip, saying, "Guess what I just saw outside!"
"..."
Father Xiao was left bewildered, how was he supposed to guess? "I wasn’t out there with you, so how could I know?"
With a slightly awkward expression, Mrs. Xiao said: "Alright, my choice of words was incorrect." Pursing her lips, she steadied her mood, and began again: "I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in the compound, guess who he looks like?"
Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Father Xiao looked helpless, casually saying: "Are you trying to say that boy looks like our eldest or second son?!"
Mrs. Xiao, upon listening, gave Father Xiao a thumbs up: "Old Xiao, you’re quite amazing, guessing even this much, but, that boy doesn’t look much like our second son, rather six or seven tenths like our eldest, isn’t that extraordinary?"
Father Xiao: "..." A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, with a face resembling six or seven tenths like his eldest, was it coincidence, or was there a hidden reason?
Thinking like this, Father Xiao couldn’t help but recall an event from more than ten years ago, when his eldest son Xiao Jin suddenly expressed a desire to take a job in the remote small county, at the time he felt the matter wasn’t simple, and suspected it might have something to do with his second son and the Feng family’s daughter, but quickly deemed it impossible, and chose not to think further into it.
He then arranged for someone to handle the eldest son’s work transfer procedures.
Min Rui and Bun and Tangyuan looked at Xi Chenyu simultaneously nodding.
"Your family doesn’t have this many comic books, but I have lots, giving you some is nothing."
Hearing this from Xi Chenyu, Guoguo replied in a childlike voice: "My family doesn’t have that many comic books, but we have comic books that elder brothers and sister have read, and altogether there are quite a few!"
Pausing slightly, Guoguo tugged Xi Chenyu’s small hand: "Brother Xi, I can read some comic books at your house now, and if I want to read more later, I can tell you at kindergarten, and you can bring me some when you go to school. By the way, I’ll bring some nice books for Brother Xi too!"
Xi Chenyu smiled: "Alright."
This time Jhiang Xuanyuan said: "Little Sister Guoguo, don’t forget to bring me some nice books."
Guoguo: "I won’t forget!"
The few little guys sat side by side on children’s chairs, each with a comic book in front of them, and very soon they were all deeply engrossed.
For the convenience of the children reading books at home, the elders of the Xi Family prepared children’s tables and chairs in the reading room, and had thick carpets laid out on the floor, with all the chair edges wrapped with cotton pads, to prevent the children from bumping or getting hurt.
The bookshelves also had children’s dedicated shelving, like the age of Bun, Tangyuan, now, they could stand on their tiptoes and reach the books they liked from the top shelf.
Min Rui was also reading at this moment, leaning against the nearby adult desk, flipping through pages one by one, occasionally glancing at Bun and Tangyuan, his lips curving slightly, with a gaze filled with warmth and doting; if anyone were to enter the reading room on the second floor now, witnessing this scene, they would surely exclaim "Peaceful times".
Time passed unknowingly, and Gao Xinyue felt that reading was losing its appeal; she wanted to go to the living room to find Old Master Gao, but was also reluctant to part from Xi Chenyu, so she moved her mouth, got up and went behind Xi Chenyu, extending a forefinger to poke Xi Chenyu’s back: "Brother Chenyu! Brother Chenyu, let’s go down and play!"
