All the people’s faces turned ugly.
"At such a young age, how can she be so vicious?" said the Feng Family from the kitchen, glancing at Xun Hui, and then sighed.
Xun Hui’s complexion wasn’t good either, she didn’t want to think of her relatives so negatively, but why did they always let her down?
"Sister, sometimes, you really need to be tougher." The Feng Family reached out and patted the back of Xun Hui’s hand, "You can’t always disappoint the children who protect you..."
Xun Hui sniffled and nodded her head.
Although Gu Qingheng didn’t show much anger anymore, a hint of murderous intent flashed through his drooping eyes; people who dared to scheme against his girl were truly intolerable.
"That’s hateful." Sanni clenched her fists in an instant, "I’m going to butcher him..."
"I’ll go too." Sini also stepped forward, her little cheeks puffed up, looking all brave and bold.
"I’ll go too..." Erya followed closely.
"Fighting is a man’s job, I’ll go..." Xiaofeng stepped forward.
Little Shanzi hurriedly took a step forward too, as the little master’s attendant he naturally had to follow, even picked up a broom from the side.
Yang Ruxin, seeing the adorably earnest expressions of the youngsters, couldn’t keep a straight face and found them too cute to resist; she went over and pinched their cheeks one by one.
"Big sister?" Sanni frowned disapprovingly, "Be serious."
"Exactly, Yang Ruxin, how can you still smile?" Li Xiang also frowned, "They’re all scheming against you, you..." Even if you don’t go all out, you should at least be angry.
"Big sister..." Xiaofeng also looked disapprovingly at Yang Ruxin.
"I’m laughing because they’re too naive." Yang Ruxin looked reassuringly at Gu Qingheng, signaling him not to be angry, "Do I look like such an idiot that they can scheme against me just like that?" she said, glancing at everyone, "Alright, this is not a big deal at all, everyone go back to whatever you were doing..."
"That makes sense..." Li Xiang thought for a moment and nodded, "I was so disgusted when I heard it just now..."
"Alright, thank you all for thinking of me, but rest assured, if they don’t have any sly thoughts, it’s fine, but if they do, I will make them regret it..." Yang Ruxin waved her hand, "Now that you two are here, come help with stuffing the meat, or else there won’t be any left to eat in the future..."
The atmosphere in the building instantly eased up, only Gu Qingheng remained silent without speaking again.
In the midst of the bustle, another visitor arrived, it was Yang Peili.
"Grandfather, is there something the matter?" Yang Ruxin let him into the yard, smiling faintly. This ’grandfather’ wasn’t the term for grandfather, but merely a respectful address for an older man.
"I have something to discuss with your mother," Yang Peili walked in with his hands behind his back, glanced at the exquisite building, a complex look flickering in his eyes.
"Mother," Yang Ruxin called, "Grandfather is looking for you."
Xun Hui came out from the kitchen, appearing somewhat restrained upon seeing Yang Peili: "Father... You’re here? Please, come inside the house..." She began to lead him into the building but then, as though remembering something important, quickly turned around and led him to the side room instead.
Yang Peili’s brows furrowed slightly, the steps he had raised were abruptly redirected, and then he entered the side room; never mind, he was here for a reason, so he wouldn’t fuss over it.
"Dad, what brings you here all of a sudden in this cold weather?" Xun Hui was still somewhat restrained in front of Yang Peili.
