Chapter 158 Showing Off Girlfriend, Hit the Bullseye
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Xie Yunmiao accurately pulled out a set of clothes from the pile of gifts to give to Xie Dingyuan, holding them in her hands and gesturing towards his upper body.
“Let me see the size of this… Oh! Just right!”
Xie Yunxuan took out a razor, an electric toothbrush, custom-made cuffs, a tie clip, and more.
The old lady watched with joy on the side.
Zhong Yunyi laughed somewhat maliciously.
The old man had already picked up his teacup and decisively slipped away. In that pile of things, there were not only gifts for his youngest son but also some for him. If he didn’t slip away, he would be the next one surrounded.
Sometimes, thinking about having too many daughters is quite a hassle…
“See that? That’s what you call a grand reception.” Zhong Ziyang nudged his little cousin with an elbow.
Cen Jiuxiao’s eyes widened, and he stammered, “Normally, my mom pestering me is annoying enough, and now Uncle is being surrounded by five of them… “
Just thinking about it is suffocating.
“No way around it,” Zhong Ziyang shrugged his shoulders, “In this family, Uncle is the most favored. I can only be second.”
Cen Jiuxiao eagerly asked, “What about me? What about me?”
“Let’s reluctantly give you third place.” After all, Ming Wei and the others hadn’t arrived.
“Hehe…” he seemed quite pleased.
Xie Dingyuan finally managed to struggle out of the pile of cosmetics. Without saying anything, he declared, “I’m going upstairs to look at a report!”
And then, he fled.
Xie Yunxiang said, “Little Nine is still so shy.”
Xie Yunlan commented, “He has been like this since childhood, as if afraid we would eat him.”
Xie Yunmiao added, “He hasn’t even tried on the pants yet…”
With one comment after another, the living room almost turned into a birdcage.
Zhong Yunyi’s temple twitched, subconsciously pressing it with his hand.
The several sisters seemed to have just noticed him—
“Oh! Eldest brother-in-law is here too. How rare.”
“Did you come with eldest sister? Not busy with work?”
“Finally, Ang Ang came back for a visit. Keep your temper in check, don’t traumatize people’s children.”
“That’s right! The capital is such a nice place. Why did you force yourself to Linhuai? Can you bear it as a father?”
“You even have Little Nine looking after your child. He’s so busy himself. When I think about it, my heart aches.”
“…”
Zhong Yunyi gritted his teeth, not daring to speak.
Finally, the old lady spoke—
“Why are you all standing? Sit down.”
Zhong Yunyi stood up with a quick shuffle, “Mom, I suddenly remembered there’s something I need to do. I’ll go to the company.”
Mrs. Fu nodded generously, “Go ahead, come back early for dinner.”
Again?
Zhong Yunyi froze for a moment, perfunctorily agreed, and thought, let’s talk about the evening later. It’s more important to save his life first.
Another one fled in haste.
Xie Yunxiang sat down with her legs crossed, and seeing this, she sneered, “The eldest brother-in-law is avoiding us, running faster than a rabbit.”
At this moment, Xie Yunzao came out from the kitchen with a fruit tray, bending over to place it on the coffee table.
Upon hearing the conversation, she couldn’t help but smile, “Only you can handle him. He’s not so easy to talk to normally.”
Xie Yunlan took a sip of tea, “Our sisters always manage to tease people. We’ve never lost. Especially after he beat Ang Ang so badly last time, we can’t let him off easily. Which father is as ruthless as him?”
“Third sister, say a few less words…” Xie Yunxuan tugged at her sleeve, “Big sister and Ang Ang are still here.”
Xie Yunlan reluctantly kept quiet.
Xie Yunmiao jumped out to mediate, “Alright, alright, let’s not forget the main business.”
“What main business?” The old lady, curious, couldn’t help but ask.
Xie Yunxuan and Xie Yunmiao glanced at each other, and finally, the former spoke, “What else could it be? Little Nine’s lifelong event hasn’t been settled for a day, and we sisters won’t feel at ease for a day.”
This hit the old lady in the soft spot.
Nowadays, she’s comfortable everywhere, except for her youngest son’s marriage, which has almost turned into a chronic illness.
“You all know Ah Yuan’s temper. If he doesn’t want to, who can persuade him?”
Xie Yunlan said, “But we can’t keep dragging it like this. Little Nine is already twenty-eight, and in two more years, he’ll be thirty. Although it’s okay for men to be a bit older, he should still have the awareness of getting married. Otherwise, if he keeps immersing himself in the laboratory day and night, dealing with those numerical formulas, when can Mom hold her grandson?”
At the mention of “grandson,” the old lady’s eyes lit up.
However, no matter how enthusiastic she is, if her son isn’t concerned, she can’t do anything.
Xie Yunshu rolled her eyes, “Mom, why not let Dad talk to him? Little Nine listens to Dad the most.”
“I think it’s a good idea.”
“That’s a good idea.”
The old lady pondered.
Zhong Ziang and Cen Jiuxiao stood on the side, silently listening to the whole process, suddenly feeling the fear of being dominated by a group of women.
The two looked at each other.
Zhong Ziang pointed upstairs, indicating to go somewhere else.
Cen Jiuxiao nodded.
The two brothers slipped away quietly.
On the second floor, Cen Jiuxiao said, “Uncle is really pitiful.”
Zhong Ziang snorted and leaned back against the wall, “Now do you know why Uncle would rather stay in Linhuai than come home?”
“Yeah!” Cen Jiuxiao nodded heavily.
Who could endure these women?
“This tells us a truth.”
Cen Jiuxiao asked, “W-what truth?”
“Love early, get married quickly! Otherwise, if you wait until Uncle’s age, a group of women will be arranging a wife for you. Are you afraid or not?”
“Afraid.”
“That’s right. Do you have a girlfriend?”
“Ah?” Cen Jiuxiao was stunned.
“What ah? Can’t you understand??”
“Not… Brother Ang, you’re so gossip.” It made the situation awkward.
“Well, do you have it or not? Give me a straight answer.”
Cen Jiuxiao shook his head. “…I don’t.”
Zhong Ziang immediately laughed, “I do.”
“?!?”
“How about it? Don’t believe it? I just went out this morning to deliver chicken soup to someone.”
“You? Delivering chicken soup?” Cen Jiuxiao swallowed nervously, a bit skeptical, “Is it true or false?”
“The pot still has half left. Let my mom serve you a bowl for dinner?”
“No no no… no need. Brother Ang, you really have a girlfriend?”
Zhong Ziang’s eyes flickered, “Of course!” To increase credibility, he even straightened his chest.
“But why did you send chicken soup? Didn’t you used to send jewelry, perfume, and cosmetics?”
“Hehe… this is different.” Zhong Ziang smiled sweetly.
“What’s different about it?”
“Jewelry, perfume, and cosmetics are useless. She refuses them all!” Cough… Although she didn’t want the chicken soup either, we at least exchanged WeChat, right?
“Oh! So, Big Brother Ang, you have to be careful.” Cen Jiuxiao said solemnly.
“What should I be careful about?”
“My little uncle said, a woman who doesn’t care about money or material things is a terrifying thing because she either wants your body or the rest of your life. Do you get what I mean?”
Zhong Ziang was dumbfounded. There’s such a saying?
Cen Jiuxiao asked, “So, what do you think your girlfriend wants from you?”
After thinking for a moment, Zhong Ziang’s face turned red, and he said seriously, “I think she wants both my body and the rest of my life.”
Crucially, he even laughed.
Cen Jiuxiao stared at him in disbelief, “Brother Ang, you’re done for.”
“Done for what? Let me tell you, little brother, in matters of the heart, it’s better to act sooner than later. If you delay and end up like our uncle, an old cabbage, then everything will be over.”
“Isn’t it good for Uncle to be like this? With honor and the admiration of the people.”
Zhong Ziang glanced at him, “What, do you also want to be a scientist?”
Cen Jiuxiao quickly waved his hand, “No, no, I’m not qualified.”
“Then it’s settled.”
“Brother Ang, is your girlfriend very beautiful?”
Zhong Ziang flashed in his mind the cold and frosty face of Jiang Fuyue, “Hehe… beautiful.”
“What about her figure?”
Backhand touching the navel, collarbone that could hold wine, long legs that were straight and white.
Zhong Ziang: “Excellent.”
“Really? Don’t lie to me.”
“Tch, would I be interested if she was ugly?”
Cen Jiuxiao nodded, “That’s true. Do you have any photos? I want to see…”
Zhong Ziang immediately took out his phone, showing off like a child with a beloved toy.
“Look at this one… and this one… and this one… Beautiful, right?”
Cen Jiuxiao nodded emphatically, “Beautiful! She can play basketball too? Is her skin really that fair?”
Zhong Ziang grinned proudly, “Even fairer than in the photos.”
“But…” Cen Jiuxiao pointed to the watermark in the lower right corner of the photo, “Why is there a watermark? No. 1 Highschool Campus Forum? Brother, isn’t this your girlfriend? Why don’t you have any private photos and have to look for them on a forum?”
Zhong Ziang: “…” If you can’t speak properly, then don’t speak at all!
At this moment, the door behind the two suddenly opened, creating a gust of wind.
Cen Jiuxiao turned around, “Uncle, uncle…”

Zhong Ziang: Let me tell you, my girlfriend is extremely beautiful!
Cen Jiuxiao: Oh, oh!
Xie Dingyuan: Say it again if you have the guts. (Fingers cracking)
