“No need! No need!” The little one ran outside, meanwhile waving at Ye Xingbei, “Girls and boys should be separate. Mommy, I don’t need to be accompanied!”
Just when Gu Junzhu was about to volunteer to go with him, Lingyue was already up and heading towards Xiao Shumiao, “I want to go too.”
“Great!” Xiao Shumiao ran back and grabbed Lingyue’s hand, “Brother Xiaoyue, hurry up, I can’t hold it anymore!”
Ye Xingbei disapproved, “Don’t wait until you are this desperate to go next time. It’s not good for your health.”
“Got it!” The little kid crisply affirmed and dragged Lingyue along, not looking back as they ran outside.
Ye Xingbei thought about it and decided to follow them out.
This was Beijing, foreign and unfamiliar territory.
Even though Lingyue was mature beyond his years, no matter how grown-up, he was still just an eight-year-old kid.
She didn’t feel comfortable leaving the two kids alone.
Gu Junzhu also wanted to go out to check, but his phone rang.
He picked up his phone, glanced at the caller ID, answered the call, putting the phone to his ear and walked into the next room.
The two little ones finished their business, and upon exiting the bathroom, immediately spotted Ye Xingbei.
The little one twisted his body shyly and said, “Mommy, the teacher says boys and girls are different!”
Ye Xingbei playfully pinched his cheeks, “Mommy was waiting outside, I didn’t go in, so why are you embarrassed about it?”
The little kiddo paused to think for a moment, then nodded on agreement, “Right, mommy is right!”
“Good boy,” Ye Xingbei tousled his hair, “let’s go back and continue eating, we need to eat quickly because daddy has to go back to work in the afternoon.”
The little one obediently bobbed his head, “OK! I will listen to whatever mommy says!”
Ye Xingbei snickered, pinching his nose, “You little elf!”
She held Lingyue with one hand, and Xiao Shumiao with the other, walking back the way they came.
Halfway there, several teenagers walked towards them.
The one in the middle, his face red and his ears hot, had obviously had too much to drink and wore a heavy drunken expression.
The six or seven teenagers around him circled the leader, flattering him and their faces lit up with smiles.
Being lauded, the youth in the middle felt as if he was floating on cloud nine, almost forgetting who he was.
His name was Jii Haomiao, Xiang Bingzhi’s cousin and Senior Master Xiang’s grandson.
Senior Master Xiang had one son and two daughters.
Jii was the son of Senior Master Xiang’s younger daughter.
Senior Master Xiang has one granddaughter and two granddaughters-in-law, with Jii Haomiao being the only grandson.
Senior Master Xiang’s son, Xiang Jiechao, married Senior Master Xie’s eldest daughter, Xie Meiqiang.
The Xiang family and Xie family were related by marriage.
Senior Master Xie had no grandsons, so the role of the Xie family’s heir was played by his grandsons-in-law Yunlin and Xie Jinfei. This was something that Jii Haomiao naturally knew about.
Senior Master Xiang also had no grandsons, Jii Haomiao, being his only grandson, always dreamt of Senior Master Xiang adopting the approach of Senior Master Xie and making him the Xiang family’s heir.
But, Senior Master Xiang had once denounced in front of everyone in the family that everything belonging to the Xiang family was his and his original wife’s property.
Whatever belonged to the Xiang family, he would only leave to his and his original wife’s offspring.
If Xiang Jiechao could have a son in the future, then it would be left to his son.
If Xiang Jiechao couldn’t have a son in the future, then everything would be left to Xiang Bingzhi.
The entire Xiang family was aware of Senior Master Xiang’s unyielding nature.
No one could change what he had decided.
Because of this, Jii Haomiao often lost his temper and privately cursed Senior Master Xiang as being senile.
But no matter how much he cursed Senior Master Xiang in private, he still had to kowtow and try his best to please his grandfather in public.
