Xiao Zimo usually gave other people a very gentle feeling and he rarely spoke harshly like this. As for his several cousins, they were mostly cared for by Ning Zhou and Xiao Huimin. From childhood to adulthood, he hardly interacted with them and never berated them.
But now he was openly lecturing Xiao Zilu, without any tact, “Is this how second uncle and second aunt taught you?”
“I…I just…”
There were tears of grievance and confusion in Xiao Zilu’s eyes, but there were no words. First she was scared by Yan Sui and when she exited, she was scolded by Xiao Zimo again.
His voice was lower than before, but colder, “What are you thinking, do you think I don’t know? Not to mention whether Yan Sui will be seduced by you, how dare you touch Nuo Nuo’s man?”
Xiao Huimin and Ning Zhou would not let her go, in fact not even he and Xiao Ziang would let her go if she dared to do something like this. She could be their cousin and be protected under their wings, but that was only if she did not violate their taboos.
“I, I didn’t.” Xiao Zilu blushed and was extremely shy. How could Xiao Zimo use such a word as seducing for her.
She was just attracted, she couldn’t help it, she couldn’t help it. No matter what she thought in her heart, she didn’t hurt Meng Ting at all, right? How could Xiao Zimo’s lesson for her be so severe?
“Don’t you know it in your heart? Go downstairs and don’t let me drive you out of the old house.”
Xiao Zimo’s tone and demeanor showed that he was not joking. Xiao Zilu felt even more aggrieved, but she did not dare to say any more, she just turned around and went down to the second floor. When her eyes met Ning Zhou, who had just come upstairs, her tears started falling.
Ning Zhou frowned slightly. She didn’t understand what was going on, so she didn’t say anything to her.
“What’s wrong? Is Nuo Nuo asleep and not coming to eat?”
Ning Zhou asked Xiao Zimo but she hesitated and did not dare to knock on the door. She was afraid of waking up Meng Ting.
Xiao Zimo had nothing to hide from Ning Zhou. He pulled Ning Zhou aside and told Ning Zhou about Xiao Zilu breaking into Meng Ting’s room without permission. Ning Zhou’s expression immediately changed.
“Oh, she still had the nerve to cry in front of me.”
Not to mention that today was her birthday, just the return of Meng Ting and Yan Sui was a great matter of joy. Why was Xiao Zilu crying and whining in front of her on such a day.
“The main branch of the Xiao family is still me and Huimin, but it seems I have had too good a temper.”
Ning Zhou said and stopped standing in front of the third floor. She just turned around, went downstairs and gave Xiao Zilu a slap in the face. Then she sent her out of the old house, even her sister Xiao Ziyue was not left behind. The servants she had ordered to call Yan Sui and Meng Ting were also dealt with.
If she and Xiao Huimin could not give Meng Ting the sense of security he deserved, then they would have failed too much as parents.
While she was dealing with it, Meng Ting also jumped out of the bed. He looked at Yan Sui for a while, and then he attached himself to him again, “I knew they were coveting you, you are mine.”
Every time he went to a party with Yan Sui, he would receive a lot of dangerous looks. It was obvious that he and Yan Sui were married and had a good relationship, but some people still coveted Yan Sui and he really wanted to hide him.
He looked at Yan Sui and became even more unhappy, “Is she also looking at you? Huh…”
Meng Ting rested his chin on Yan Sui’s shoulder, his cheeks slightly bulging, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so did everyone else. Now, even his cousin was coveting Yan Sui, and Meng Ting felt heartbroken and depressed thinking about it.
Yan Sui was quite angry at first, but seeing Meng Ting being unhappy, he couldn’t bear to let him be like this, “It doesn’t matter, we will go back to Haicheng tomorrow.” The Xiao family had a mess of relatives who they didn’t have to come into contact with if they didn’t want to.
“Yes,” Meng Ting nodded. He also felt that Haicheng was safer. He put his hand around Yan Sui’s waist and said seriously, “We should not separate until we go home.”
“Okay,” Yan Sui agreed. Being intruded on by Xiao Zilu made Yan Sui feel uneasy. Even though there were Meng Ting’s parents and brothers here, it was still not a place where people could feel reassured.
“Let’s go down to eat, and I’ll take a nap with you when we come back.”
Yan Sui and Meng Ting came out of the room. And Xiao Zimo was still waiting at the door. He looked a little guilty, “Yan Sui, Nuo Nuo, it’s us who didn’t discipline the people well. Mom has already arranged a car to take them away.”
“Oh,” Meng Ting nodded and agreed. Apart from that, he didn’t know what else to respond with.
After they walked two steps, Meng Ting looked back at Xiao Zimo, “Second brother, have you eaten?”
“No,” neither Meng Ting nor Yan Sui had come down to eat. Naturally, he would not run to eat first, but he also understood what Meng Ting meant when he asked him. Even if Xiao Zilu made him feel unhappy, Meng Ting did not wish to take his anger out on him.
Xiao Zimo realized this and felt happy and guilty at the same time. He followed up and said something that completely baffled Meng Ting, “It’s not good for Nuo Nuo to be so soft-hearted…”
“Isn’t it bad for second brother to be like this?” Meng Ting then asked again, his eyes were very serious. If he wanted to be angry, of course he could be angry, but he didn’t want to make Ning Zhou’s birthday unhappy, nor did he want to anger Xiao Zimo, who was pretty good to him.
Meng Ting’s eyes were too clean and too serious. Xiao Zimo was suddenly stunned when he looked at him like this. There was a little entanglement in his eyes. He didn’t know how to answer Meng Ting’s question, or maybe he was reluctant to answer it.
Yan Sui turned around and took Meng Ting with him, helping Xiao Zimo answer the question.
“I can’t tell you whether it’s good or not, but it’s okay as long as you want to.” It was not easy to make Meng Ting take the initiative to be soft-hearted.
“Well,” Meng Ting nodded after hearing this. The seriousness and confusion on his face disappeared, and he added, “I am still willing to for mother and second brother.”
He and Yan Sui were still walking in front, with Xiao Zimo, who was two steps away from them, lagging behind but after hearing this he felt so moved. He remembered that when he first went to Yan House to see Meng Ting, he didn’t even give him a cake to eat.
Ning Zhou had gotten very angry on the first floor, and even Xiao Huimin couldn’t coax her. But when Meng Ting came downstairs and called “Mom”, Ning Zhou automatically became calm and gentle once again.
Mr. Xiao also came out of the study and saw them looking harmonious.
They went to the table to eat and were almost finished when Mr. Xiao realized that two people were missing from the table. “Where are the two girls?”
Meng Ting still had food in his mouth and couldn’t answer, so Ning Zhou gave Meng Ting two more pieces of meat and vegetables, and answered Mr. Xiao’s question, “I sent them back to second brother’s house.”
Ning Zhou looked at Mr. Xiao without fear. No matter how doubtful Mr. Xiao was, he would not say anything else. Recently, Ning Zhou had become much more powerful, and she had started looking more and more like the mistress of the family. But since it did not harm the interests of the family, Mr. Xiao did not feel bad about it.
After lunch, Meng Ting and Yan Sui planned to take a walk downstairs before taking a nap. It was very cold outside and it was said that it was going to snow, so they didn’t go outside.
Mr. Xiao didn’t leave either. After he found out what was going on from the housekeeper, he called his second son Xiao Xuanmin and scolded him. He spat everywhere and looked quite scary.
Everyone else consciously avoided Mr. Xiao, but Meng Ting remained motionless and stared at Mr. Xiao fiercely.
Mr. Xiao put down the phone and turned around to meet Meng Ting’s gaze, but there was still a ferocious look in his eyes that he could not control.
“Grandpa talks on the phone so loudly…” Meng Ting commented, and then he warned again, “You are old, don’t be angry all the time, it is not good for your health.”
Mr. Xiao and Meng Ting looked at each other, and the anger in his eyes dissipated little by little, until he suddenly realized that Meng Ting talking to him like this was more difficult to deal with than talking back to him. He said “Yeah” in a rough tone, not thinking that Meng Ting hadn’t let this matter go yet.
“You should also smile more. If you are in a good mood, you will be in good health.”
“Yes,” Mr. Xiao responded again, and then raised a very scary smile.
Meng Ting didn’t feel much fear. Seeing that Mr. Xiao was still obedient, he was happy. He nodded, “Grandpa is so obedient.”
After he had “educated” people enough, he immediately turned around to find Yan Sui. He reached Yan Sui’s side in two steps, then held Yan Sui’s hand, “I’m sleepy, let’s go take a nap.”
“Okay,” Yan Sui agreed, and then he nodded to Mr. Xiao, Ning Zhou and the others, and took Meng Ting upstairs.
Mr. Xiao, with an inexplicable mood, returned to his room to take a nap. Maybe he could understand why Yan Sui doted on Meng Ting, and why Xiao Huimin and Ning Zhou also doted on Meng Ting so much.
