Zhou Yaqing tearfully begs her Uncle, Old Master Xi, to let her return to work at the research institute. He refuses, stating her transfer was a favor to avoid outright dismissal due to her inappropriate pursuit of a married colleague. Zhou Yaqing insists her actions were justified, believing she is rescuing the man from a loveless marriage, much to the disbelief and scorn of her cousins.

This is so annoying! I’d rather not have a cousin than have one who acts like this.

Our grandson wasn’t wrong, yet the little girl from the Zhou Family dared to criticize him in front of Old Master Xi, making him impatient with Zhou Yaqing. He said, "You should go back."

"Grand uncle! Are you really not going to help me?" Zhou Yaqing sat still, sniffing and putting on a pitiable face: "You are my grandma’s elder brother, my own grand uncle. You can’t not help me."

Xi Jingyu interjected: "My great-aunt and my grandfather aren’t biological siblings. She was born to my great-grandmother. Last time my grandfather helped you, that was to give face to my great-aunt and to your Zhou Family. This time you’ve caused trouble at work, being transferred, and still expect my grandfather to help once more. Do you really think my grandfather owes you something?"

Xi Chenyu: "We don’t owe you anything."

Zhou Yaqing: "..." Two dead kids, aren’t they considering her family? What kind of nonsense are they talking!

"Xiao Qing."

Old Master Xi observed Zhou Yaqing’s facial changes, shook his head internally, and slowly said: "There’s nothing wrong with liking someone, but the premise is that the person you like is single. Check if they have a fiancée. Now, the person you like has a family, and even though you know this, you still chose to like them, which is wrong. It’s inappropriate."

"Grand uncle, but his wife was introduced by his superior, there’s no love between them!"

Zhou Yaqing didn’t take in Old Master Xi’s words, and upon hearing her words, Old Master Xi remained unbothered, asking: "How do you know there’s no love between the couple?

As far as I know, Comrade Luo values and likes his wife greatly, and likewise, his wife respects and likes her husband. They now have six children under their care, living a warm and harmonious life that many envy.

Alright, that’s all I’m going to say. It’s up to you to listen or not. In short, I can’t help with this matter. It’s late now; you should head back to avoid worrying your family."

Saying this, Old Master Xi got up: "I’m a bit tired, going to lie down in my room for a while. Jingyu, see your Cousin Sister Zhou out later." With these words, Old Master Xi left the living room.

"Grand uncle..."

Zhou Yaqing called after Old Master Xi, hoping he’d stop, but received no response.

"Please go ahead."

Xi Jingyu stood up and made a gesture for Zhou Yaqing to leave.

Xi Jingyu placed his hands on Xi Chenyu’s shoulders, turned him around to face him, bent down to meet his talented younger brother eye to eye, and quietly said: "Grandfather got angry because of a call from our great-aunt. I happened to be in the living room and heard grandfather shout, ’Xi Furong, you better wake up,’

Later, grandfather made a call mentioning a name ’Luo Yanqing’. Kiddo, do you think this Luo Yanqing could be my friend’s dad? But, how did our great-aunt get involved with my friend’s dad?"

After hearing Xi Jingyu’s words, Xi Chenyu decided to go downstairs to ask Old Master Xi what happened, to prevent Little Sister Guoguo’s father from being taken advantage of by their great-aunt.

"Eh? Weren’t you going to your room, why are you heading downstairs now?"

Upon seeing Xi Chenyu go downstairs, Xi Jingyu followed him, pretending to be curious.

"Can you just shut your mouth, second brother?"

Xi Chenyu gave Xi Jingyu a disdainful look.

Nonetheless, Xi Jingyu didn’t mind. He laughed, saying: "Are you trying to find out something from grandfather and then report to Aunt Kang?"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Xi gave Xi Jingyu a displeased look: "Can’t you speak properly? Xiao Qing is still your cousin, no matter what."

"I don’t have a shameless cousin like her."

Xi Jingyu scoffed, saying dismissively: "She doesn’t even consider whether she’s worthy and yet dreams about a man out of her league. I seriously doubt the upbringing at great-aunt’s house, to have raised Zhou Yaqing who doesn’t care about her own or her family’s face, and intends to interfere with someone else’s marriage."

"Grandfather, I don’t like Cousin Sister Zhou."

Despite his young age, Xi Chenyu understood most of what his second brother Xi Jingyu said, and he immediately expressed his stance in front of Old Master Xi.

To put it simply, he supported what his second brother Xi Jingyu said.
