Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

Xie Xiao was already walking over when he heard those words, and he smiled unaffectedly, "Ranran is busy today, she doesn't have time, maybe another time."

"Ah, I heard from Little Liu that you've been talking for a long time. I was hoping to meet her today," Auntie laughed as she spoke, "Come over here and let Grandma have a look at you, she has really missed you."

Xie Xiao nodded and walked over with a smile.

It must be said, they really took good care of Grandma, as she looked healthy with a rosy complexion.

That's why Xie Qingxiao has been sending money to his uncle's family on time every year.

He knew that taking care of an elderly person could indeed be hard work.

The old lady was a bit biased towards her eldest son's family, but she was also good to Xie Xiao, who hadn't seen his grandson in too long.

She grabbed hold of him and wouldn't let go, continuously expressing her care.

Xie Qingxiao stood beside him, still smiling and said, "He's not a little kid anymore."

Xie Xiao remembered that in his previous life, after his own ordeal, the old lady had been so upset that she fell ill.

His uncle and aunt were frantically busy taking care of her for a long time.

He remembered all these details.

As for Xie Liu, their relationship could only be described as mediocre.

In his previous life when Xie Xiao had his troubles, Xie Liu was just in his first year of high school, and he had visited only once or twice, each time unwillingly.

He was even scolded by his uncle, who nearly hit him.

But his aunt stopped it.

Anyway, the relationship between these cousins was really subpar.

Now, Xie Liu had been silent since Xie Xiao entered, just watching him.

He looked rather unwell.

Xie Xiao, seeing his strikingly multicolored hair, felt his eyes hurt.

It was tough for the grandparents to see that every day and still tolerate it.

His uncle's family also kindly asked Xie Xiao about how hard it was working alone outside.

Everyone only started eating when Doctor Yang arrived and they all took their seats.

Xie Liu was as mute as a fish, only when his uncle scolded him did he finally call Doctor Yang "auntie."

Outside, although she was still upset with Xie Qingxiao, Yang Lan still smiled amiably, showing no signs of conflict.

Actually, this time Xie Xiao felt it was indeed Xie Qingxiao's fault.

He acted without consulting Doctor Yang, not even discussing it further.

The money given to his uncle's family increased from 3000 to 5000 a month.

It wasn't a matter of how much money, but that Xie Qingxiao shouldn't have kept it from Doctor Yang.

It had been kept from her for over half a year, and now that it was discovered, it had sparked an argument.

At dinner, Grandma was still admiring the jade bracelet given by Xie Xiao, obviously pleased with it.

Auntie also exclaimed, "Xie Xiao is really sensible, as for our Xie Liu, it's good enough he doesn't ask for money from home."

Xie Liu cried out dissatisfiedly, "Mom!"

Yang Lan laughed and said, "Xie Liu is still young though."

The uncle's face turned sour, "Young? How young is he? When Xie Xiao was his age, he was already making his own money…"

Xie Xiao thought to himself, here it comes.

They were getting to the main point now.

Actually, Xie Xiao could understand his uncle's stance, but to truly take Xie Liu back to City B and find him a job,

That was not possible; first off, the company wasn't solely his,

and although his relationship with Xie Liu wasn't great, this young man had been spoiled and had a bad temperament.

Bringing home a huge Buddha to worship?

That's definitely not possible.

No sooner had Uncle finished speaking than Aunt looked toward Xie Xiao, "Xie Xiao, look at your cousin like this, still without a proper job, and even has a girlfriend. He's even thinking about getting married..."

Xie Xiao was surprised and glanced at Xie Liu's colorful hair. How could he even get a girlfriend with that?

He was a bit shocked.

Then Aunt spoke again after laying some groundwork, "You see, can you help your brother find a stable, real job?"

Xie Qingxiao quickly glanced at his wife whose expression had darkened indeed.

Xie Qingxiao felt quite wronged; he had rejected his older brother's request right from the start.

He had even used his connections to find a job for Xie Liu.

But the kid neither had the education nor the willingness to endure hardships.

He quit in less than a month.

Xie Qingxiao then stopped bothering about it.

Thankfully, his older brother didn't ask him for help anymore.

So, they had set their sights on his son now?

Xie Qingxiao felt he had to say something else he might not be able to enter his own house tonight.

So while Xie Xiao was still weighing how to speak up, his father spoke, "Hey, big brother and sister-in-law, what could Xie Xiao possibly do? He's still interning at another company. His 'company' is nothing big, just a small venture he's playing at with a classmate."

Xie Qingxiao said smiling, "If you think the job I found for Xie Liu last time wasn't suitable, I'll find him another one later."

I already found a job for your son last time, and he couldn't even stick with it, so please spare my son.

That directly made Uncle and Aunt's faces a bit awkward.

At this point, Xie Liu spoke, "The job last time was as a construction worker, it was too exhausting."

His tone was full of dissatisfaction.

Xie Qingxiao nodded, "But hard work correlates with income, right? A salary of more than 500 a day isn't too low, is it?"

That was actually a veteran staff's wage given due to Xie Qingxiao's face; otherwise, as a newbie who knew nothing, how could Xie Liu earn that salary.

It was Xie Qingxiao's own favor that was sold out there.

And he, ungrateful, just quit without a word in the end.

The one left embarrassed was still Xie Qingxiao.

Xie Liu defiantly said, "Then why don't you ask Xie Xiao to do it?"

Yang Lan couldn't hold back and laughed, "Because Xie Xiao can find his own job without us. He worked so hard studying and went to college just so he wouldn't have to work so hard every day."

Yang Lan looked at Xie Liu with a cold gaze, "And working in an office isn't less taxing; it's just that he's not good with words and doesn't complain."

What she meant was, you're good at complaining but that's exactly why you've achieved nothing.

Xie Xiao noticed that Uncle's face was a mix of embarrassment and frustration.

But Aunt's expression wasn't pleasant; seeing her own son being openly and covertly reprimanded surely made her uncomfortable.

Xie Xiao served Grandma some food with a smile and said, "Grandma, eat this. Should we all just eat first? Isn't that why we all came here, to have a meal together?"

Uncle and Xie Qingxiao also said, "Right, let's eat."

Aunt's expression wasn't quite good afterward.

Xie Liu even took a phone call and then left directly.

Xie Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, Good that he's gone, now he can't bring it up again, right?

But Xie Xiao still underestimated a grandparent's indulgence toward their grandchild.

After the meal, it wasn't Uncle and the others who spoke again.

The grandma holding his hand suddenly spoke, "Xie Xiao, seeing your brother like this, couldn't you help him out?"

Xie Xiao: ...
