Chapter 1484: Chapter 1253:
"This..."
Xi Guobang was stumped.
"Can’t do it?"
Xi Chenyu met Xi Guobang’s gaze: "Forget I said anything." He withdrew his gaze, sat up straight, and refocused on his textbook.
Seeing this, Xi Guobang’s face flushed. He was being disliked by his son, first by his father, and now by his youngest son. How difficult this was for him!
A few minutes passed, and Xi Guobang realized his youngest son truly didn’t plan to pay him any mind, so he rubbed his nose, got up, and silently left.
"What’s the matter?"
Xu Dan had just finished showering and was drying her hair. Seeing Xi Guobang walk into the bedroom with a face full of gloom, she couldn’t help but ask.
"I was disliked by Xi Chenyu."
Speaking, Xi Guobang wiped his face: "How did I end up being disliked by my own son?"
"Why do you bother Little Yu for nothing? You know what that kid’s personality is like."
Xu Dan chuckled: "Go ahead, tell me why you were disliked."
"Little Yu doesn’t want to see the girl from the Gao Family at kindergarten anymore; he asked me if I could make it happen." Xi Guobang’s mouth was bitter: "How am I supposed to do that? The kindergarten isn’t run by us, how do I have the authority to stop the girl from the Gao Family from going there?"
Xu Dan didn’t respond directly, instead asked: "Did Dad talk to you?"
"You know too?"
Xi Guobang raised an eyebrow.
Xu Dan nodded: "Dad mentioned it as soon as I got home from work."
Xi Guobang asked, "What do you think?"
"What can I think?" Xu Dan put away the towel and said, "Stay away, otherwise, with the Gao Family girl’s temper, who knows what trouble might arise."
"Ah!" Xi Guobang sighed, "It’s all because he’s so good-looking, passed on a handsome face to Xi Chenyu."
Xu Dan laughed, "Thick-skinned!"
"Am I wrong?"
Xi Guobang stared.
"Not really, but don’t forget about my contribution."
Xu Dan chuckled, "People like beautiful things. The Gao Family girl likes our Little Yu, which is not wrong, but where she goes wrong is being too domineering, and even more wrong in lying. She falsely accused Little Yu of pulling her down, and falsely accused the girl named Guoguo and Xuanxuan of bullying her. Strictly speaking, it’s not just kids being emotional; it’s sheer malice."
"Kids don’t have malicious intentions; they’re just spoiled by their families."
Upon hearing Xi Guobang say this, Xu Dan remained silent.
...
The next day.
Old Master Gao was called by the leaders above to talk twice within an hour during working hours.
At first, Old Master Gao was quite puzzled, not knowing where he had gone wrong in his work. By the end of the second conversation, he realized the source was his youngest daughter-in-law.
To be precise, it was because his youngest daughter-in-law had left home without using her brain, offended someone, and caused him trouble at work.
After finally making it through to the end of the day, Old Master Gao walked into the house, with a dark expression and asked Old Lady Gao, "Is Qiming’s wife at home?"
"What’s happened?"
Old Lady Gao sensed something was off and cautiously asked Old Master Gao.
"I’m asking if Qiming’s wife is here!"
Old Master Gao slapped the coffee table: "If she’s home, tell her to come to the living room."
"She’s not here." Old Lady Gao tried to calm Old Master Gao, "Can’t we talk about this nicely?"
"Where has she gone?"
"Half an hour before you came home, she took Little Moonlight to the train station, said she was taking Little Moonlight to Hu City to stay at her mother’s home for a few days."
"Go find her and bring her back."
"This..."
Old Lady Gao didn’t move.
Old Master Gao glared and shouted for the driver outside the living room door, then instructed the driver to go to the train station to find them and bring Wang Xiaohui and her daughter home.
Just then, Gao Qiming returned home from work, seeing Old Master’s foul expression, he didn’t ask anything but simply got in the car and went to the train station with the driver.
"What’s really going on? Can’t you tell me?"
Old Lady Gao asked, full of concern.
"Did Little Moonlight cause trouble at kindergarten again yesterday?" Old Master Gao didn’t wait for Old Lady Gao to respond and continued, "Qiming’s wife went to the kindergarten, right? When she brought back Little Moonlight, did she not say anything?"
"Qiming likes to say Little Moonlight accidentally fell while playing a game at kindergarten. She received a call from Teacher Su and brought Little Moonlight back, but she didn’t say anything else. Is that not what happened?"
Old Lady Gao’s face turned unsightly upon realizing her daughter-in-law had lied to her.
"She surely knows she caused trouble!"
Old Master Gao’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pan: "Yesterday, Little Moonlight falsely accused Little Yu of pulling her down at kindergarten, and also accused a girl named Luo Mingxi, who testified for Little Yu, of bullying her. Your good daughter-in-law took the teacher’s call and went to the kindergarten, not distinguishing right from wrong, she lashed out at the little girl, even got physical with a girl not yet three and a half years old,
and it was even twice, caught right by the child’s grandfather, who demanded she apologize. Instead, your good daughter-in-law brought me, her father-in-law, into it, boasting about how powerful the Gao Family is, bullying people arrogantly, and then took Little Moonlight home without even waiting."
"Is it worth getting this angry over such a small matter? Besides, your status is already there, and our Gao Family really isn’t an ordinary family. Qiming’s wife only wanted to keep Little Moonlight from being wronged, so she brought up you and our family’s background..."
"Shut up!"
Old Master Gao was furious: "It’s all because you’ve spoiled them!"
Old Lady Gao was frightened, her heart tightened, and she dared not say another word.
