Chapter 1483: Chapter 1253:
"Didn’t you say that was in the past? Nowadays, he and I aren’t on the same path." Xi Guobang said, sneering: "His wife has just one advantage, she can give birth. Since she came into the family, she’s had four sons and a daughter. But my Dandan isn’t bad either, she gave me three big fat boys."
"What are you saying about me?"
Xu Dan’s voice echoed from the second-floor staircase.
Upon hearing this, Xi Guobang immediately looked up and responded: "I’m praising you for being amazing!" Xu Dan rolled her eyes: "I don’t need your praise to be amazing."
Xi Guobang touched his nose and, seeing his wife leave the staircase, couldn’t help but touch his nose again, and said to the old man with a smile: "Your daughter-in-law has one flaw, she’s just too proud."
"I’m too lazy to talk to you."
Elder Xi also gave Xi Guobang a roll of his eyes, what a skill — flattering your wife only to fall flat.
Xi Guobang chuckled, and then returned to a serious demeanor, saying: "Since Brother Boya is upset, Dad, you shouldn’t interfere. Regardless of what Uncle Gao says to you, don’t agree to anything. I believe Brother Boya won’t go too far. At most, he’ll put pressure on Uncle Gao through higher-ups to get justice for the family’s kids. The funding matter might be delayed but won’t be canceled."
"Do you really need to teach me this?" Elder Xi said irritably: "When your uncle’s youngest daughter-in-law pulled out your uncle and used the family’s background as leverage, I already knew what Brother Boya would do next."
"Brother Boya is quite capable. It’s been just a few years since the opening-up reforms, and Brother Boya has already achieved impressive success domestically. To be honest, I admire him!"
"Your Brother Boya’s daughter, Kang Li, is even more capable. She continued to invest in multiple areas during her years studying abroad, as Uncle Jiang said, she’s never suffered a loss. Besides, the young lady has started factories and companies domestically, and probably within two years, she’ll launch a groundbreaking communication device."
"..."
Xi Guobang was shocked.
Elder Xi looked at Xi Guobang with great disdain and said: "Don’t be surprised, the young lady is just that impressive."
Xi Guobang was dazed for a moment, then came to his senses: "Isn’t Comrade Kang Li teaching students at Shuimu University?"
"What’s so strange about that? The young lady hired a professional investment team to work for her and other staff to help manage company affairs, guiding the major directions from behind the scenes, it’s that simple."
Speaking of Kang Li, Elder Xi was genuinely envious, jealous, and resentful toward Jiang Hongfa—having only one son—and that son having only one daughter, yet both are highly capable.
Who wouldn’t envy them?
"Impressive! Comrade Kang Li is truly impressive, I deeply admire her!"
Xi Guobang said this with utter sincerity.
"Alright, go upstairs and check on Little Yu. Today, he’s been wronged by the Gao family’s little girl, and who knows what he might think." Elder Xi waved his hand, urging Xi Guobang to go to the second floor.
"Okay, I’ll go right away."
He got up and headed upstairs.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Standing outside Xi Chenyu’s room door, Xi Guobang lightly knocked with his finger.
"The door’s not closed."
A childish voice mixed with a hint of babyness came through.
He pushed open the door and walked into the room, then casually closed the door again.
"..."
Xi Chenyu, who was originally sitting at the desk reading, heard footsteps approaching, turned his head to look at the visitor, and when he saw it was his dad, his dark eyes showed a trace of confusion.
"Dad came to chat with you."
Seated on the bed, Xi Guobang looked at his youngest son; his usually stern expression softened a bit at this moment.
When facing Elder Xi and wife Xu Dan, Xi Guobang occasionally showed some smiles, but in front of his children, he always had a stern face.
"I was reading."
Xi Chenyu implied that he was busy.
"I’ll just take a bit of your time." Xi Guobang maintained a neutral expression, saying: "Grandpa told me everything."
"..."
Xi Chenyu was puzzled.
"About Little Moonlight wronging you." Xi Guobang observed his son’s facial expressions but didn’t detect anything special, so he asked, "Don’t you have any thoughts on it?"
"I didn’t do it, let her say what she wants, but I hate that she wronged Little Sister Guoguo. If possible, I don’t want to see her again at kindergarten."
Xi Chenyu shared his true feelings, and then with serious eyes, he asked word-by-word: "Can you do it?"
"..."
This time it was Xi Guobang’s turn to be puzzled, not understanding what his youngest son meant.
"...make sure Gao Xinyue doesn’t appear before me again."
After a moment of silence, Xi Chenyu straightforwardly stated.
