Xia Weiliang's most admired woman was her great-aunt, bar none!
Especially when her great-aunt said in a casual tone, "It's just money," her dismissive attitude and the expression of "You don't like me, but what can you do about it?" were perfectly captured!
As it turned out, her understanding of her great-aunt was still superficial.
Just after this conversation, moments ago, this very instant, Xie Wanfei called Xia Chengye into the study, and soon, a string of scoldings ensued.
"Cooperation? How can you talk about cooperation without investigating the other party's ancestors for eight generations?"
"Are you swayed by this petty profit? Don't you think about why he suddenly came to invest with you? What about you impressed him? Is it because you're stupid?"
"Heh, don't give me any of those business platitudes! When your great-grandmother was selling syrup water, you didn't even know where you were roaming!"
"What to do? Of course, tell him to go home and play with eggs! Before this project is launched, kick him out immediately! Once it starts, you'll be choked by the throat!"
Downstairs, Xia Weiliang looked up towards the second floor and clicked her tongue, "Only great-aunt can scold old Xia like a third-rate grandson."
Xia Xiaoqiu chuckled beside her, "You don't know, with great-aunt's personality, she's very popular! The men who rush to be scolded by her could line up all the way to Lianhua Village!"
Xia Weiliang had to give a thumbs-up of admiration, truly born to step on men's seven inches!
After she finished watching the show, her phone rang as she turned around.
Seeing the caller ID, Xia Weiliang's heart began to race uncontrollably, beating a little too wildly.
Xia Xiaoqiu winked at her, "Little White Flower just left, and his call is already chasing you. Is he that worried about you?"
Xia Weiliang glanced at her, "Are your homework assignments finished?"
"Cousin! You can't do this to me!!"
Xia Weiliang came to the courtyard to answer the call.
As soon as it was connected, the person on the other end said, "Lin Suixiang is my..."
"Childhood sweetheart! I understand."
Xia Weiliang even laughed a couple of times, her laughter completely harmless.
The man paused, as if not used to explaining such matters, but had to, his tone becoming increasingly unnatural, "Yes, but not the kind of childhood sweetheart you understand. We just knew each other since we were kids. If there were anything between me and her, it wouldn't have waited until now."
Although Xia Weiliang knew there was nothing between them, hearing him say it felt incredibly satisfying!
"I know."
She said softly, her eyes rippling with a smile.
As if sensing her teasing tone, the man first relaxed, then asked, "You believe it so easily?"
Should he think her naive? Or that she didn't care?
Thinking of the latter made his chest feel tight.
"We just did a live broadcast today, and she showed up at my house tonight. Is she so impatient that she wants everyone to know her feelings for you? How foolish would I be to believe there's anything between you and her?"
However, she soon added vaguely, "Besides, even if there were something between you, you don't need to explain it to me..."
"You mean... you don't need it?"
The man on the other end reacted quickly, hitting the nail on the head, grasping the main point so well!
Xia Weiliang's cheeks couldn't help but blush, "I didn't say I didn't need it... Men should still have some integrity, and it would be explainable to their future wives."
Xiao Yi chuckled, "Okay, I've noted it."
Xia Weiliang's heart fluttered.
This feeling was quite novel, a second romance with the same person, and it still made her blush and her heart race.
Xia Weiliang wouldn't go out of her way to find trouble for herself. Thinking about him after rebirth while looking at him before rebirth was meaningless. People in different timelines would make different choices, but they were still him, weren't they? Hadn't they both fallen in love?
Her relationship with him wasn't clarified, but the ambiguous period of courtship was the most beautiful, and she didn't mind enjoying it once more.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yi continued to play with his phone with a playful look.
Yan Zhi then handed him his phone, "It's Miss Lin."
Lin Suixiang's calls to Xiao Yi kept failing, so she called Zhi Yan.
Xiao Yi glanced at it and still took it.
"Xiao Yi, my grandfather insisted I go to the Xia family. You have to believe me! I didn't mean to make things difficult for Miss Xia, it's just that Grandpa wanted to understand her a little..."
"Have you understood her enough now?"
"Yes... but... Xiao Yi, I know you won't be happy when I say this, but I have to say it. She really doesn't deserve you! Regardless of her family background or personal abilities, except for her face, she's truly... truly useless."
Lin Suixiang had also gone all out; these words had been pent up inside her, driving her mad!
Why would he fancy Xia Weiliang?
What was so good about her?
Even if Yan Zhi didn't know what the person on the other end said, he could tell from Xiao Yi's expression that Lin Suixiang had probably kicked a steel plate.
"Whether she's useless or not is not for you to decide. Also, Grandpa has a professional medical team taking care of him. Don't come to the Xiao family anymore if it's not important."
"Xiao Yi!"
Lin Suixiang said incredulously, "Are you trying to kick me out?"
She and her sister were both living in the Xiao family, and for him to say this clearly meant he wanted her to leave!
"You can interpret it that way."
"Did Xia Weiliang say something?" she asked urgently, her tone as if she was certain that Xia Weiliang had gossiped behind her back, otherwise, he wouldn't be like this.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, she's doing it on purpose!"
The man frowned, his tone becoming somewhat stiff, "It has nothing to do with her. Don't drag her into everything."
He had previously thought Lin Suixiang was quite refined and elegant, accompanying Grandpa and showing filial piety, which earned her a lot of favor.
Now, all her pretense had been stripped away.
He hung up the phone and threw the phone to Yan Zhi, "Don't answer every call in the future."
"Got it!"
Yan Zhi understood.
This Miss Lin was probably completely out of the picture.
But then again, when she used to hide her feelings so well, Brother Yi mostly turned a blind eye and didn't think about her issues.
But who knew she would go find Xia Weiliang!
If she wasn't dealt with, would she be kept for the New Year to send off fireworks into the sky?
Who was Xia Weiliang?
She was the only woman Brother Yi had ever acknowledged in so many years!
Where did you get the confidence to gamble against her?

Lin Suixiang heard the disconnection sound from the receiver and put down her phone dazedly.
The next second, she swept everything on the table to the floor!
Before Xia Weiliang appeared, she had never spoken a harsh word to Xiao Yi, but now, he was going to drive her away!
"Xia Weiliang! I hate you! I hate you!!"
"Sister?" Lin Youyou pushed the door open and was startled to see her like this, "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"
