"Uncle!"

Before even entering the living room, Zhou Yaqing’s tearful voice could be heard: "Uncle! Uncle..." Seeing Old Master Xi, tears streamed down Zhou Yaqing’s face in big drops. She hurried forward, crying, "Uncle, please help me. I want to continue working at the institute. Xiao Qing is begging you, Uncle!"

Kneeling beside Old Master Xi’s leg, Zhou Yaqing grabbed his hand and looked up at him: "Uncle, I really love being a researcher. I know there have been shortcomings in my work,

but that was just at the beginning, Uncle... I promise I won’t be careless anymore, I will put my heart into my work. Please help me, help me one last time, let me return to work at the institute, okay?"

"Talk while sitting."

Old Master Xi withdrew his hand and gestured to the sofa opposite, showing no emotion on his face.

"Uncle..."

Zhou Yaqing hesitated for a moment, then complied. She got up and sat properly on the sofa, thinking that Old Master Xi might have softened and that there was a great possibility of him helping her return to the institute. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yaqing soon realized she was mistaken when she heard Old Master Xi say, "I can’t help you with what you’re asking."

"Uncle!" Zhou Yaqing was shocked, even forgetting to let her tears fall for a moment. After she came to her senses, the tears gathered in her eyes surged out again. She opened her mouth and said tearfully, "No... Uncle, you can help me. As long as you say one word, I can return to the institute, Uncle..."

Old Master Xi’s expression remained unchanged: "Your job transfer was arranged by your superiors. As for why your work relationship was transferred, not only do I know about the faults you just mentioned, I’ve heard other things too."

Ignoring Zhou Yaqing’s changing expression, Old Master Xi paused before continuing: "In my view, your work relationship being transferred is beneficial for both you and your original unit. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been transferred; you would have received a dismissal notice directly. Do you understand what I mean?"

Old Master Xi’s words were tactful enough; he was giving Zhou Yaqing face, not wanting her to feel embarrassed in front of her two cousins Xi Jingyu and Xi Chenyu. However, Zhou Yaqing was not appreciative; she detected the implied meaning in Old Master Xi’s words but didn’t think she was wrong in matters of love.

"Uncle, is it wrong to like someone?"

Tears flowed down her cheeks as Zhou Yaqing said with great grievance: "When I first arrived at the institute, at the first glance of that man named Luo, I... immediately liked him. I thought this was my love.

Just wanted to get closer to the man named Luo, so I would talk to him in my spare time, but during work hours, I did not bother him, Uncle, I know the limits..."

Old Master Xi frowned, his face growing stern, not speaking for a while.

"You found your love, but did you know he has a wife and child?" Xi Jingyu spoke up, looking at Zhou Yaqing with a mocking tone, "Or do you really enjoy being the ’other woman’? But even if you like that, you have to see whether the man is willing. Don’t you think?"

"Jingyu!"

Old Master Xi called out to Xi Jingyu, signaling his grandson to give Zhou Yaqing some face.

"Grandpa, did I say anything wrong?"

Xi Jingyu had an innocent look on his face.

"..."

Old Master Xi was at a loss for words.

"Jingyu, how can you say that about me? I found my love, should you not be happy for me? As for you saying he has a wife and child, that’s not an issue... I’ve inquired, his wife was introduced by a leader,

and it wasn’t a free love, they surely couldn’t reach emotional resonance. And I just want to rescue the person I love from a loveless marriage. When he’s with me, he’ll know what love is, and will definitely be happy and grateful to me!"

"You..."

Xi Jingyu was almost amused by Zhou Yaqing, wondering how could someone hold such shameless views with such high-sounding reasons?

Thinking she became the savior of someone else’s love, who does she think she is?

It was absurd, shameless!

"Uncle Luo really likes Aunt Kang."

Xi Chenyu, with a stern face, looked at Zhou Yaqing coldly: "You’re really unattractive, Uncle Luo will not fancy you."

"You... You’re so rude! I am your cousin, instead of supporting me in pursuing my love, here you mock me, ridicule me, don’t you think you’re too much?"
