"Right." Xiao Shulan put an emphasis on her tone, replacing the voice of their father to educate her younger brother, "You’re not getting any younger, it’s not the age for fooling around anymore. Instead, you’re out there messing about every day, do you think you’re doing right by our family? What, are you still hanging around with that vixen, Mo Fei?"
Xiao Yebai lazily flicked his fringe, "A vixen is still better than a fresh flower stuck in cow dung—"
His dragging tone was drawn out, leaving Xiao Shulan and Xiao Shuju momentarily speechless.
Zang Xiaolian and the butler covered their mouths, trying not to laugh.
"Alright, alright, I got it." Xiao Yebai waved dismissively at the two ’tigresses,’ already a bit tired of bickering with them here and said, "You’re just afraid I won’t be able to find a wife, right? I’ll explain in a couple of days."
What? Content orıginally comes from 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩
The Xiao sisters were clearly startled by his sudden proclamation.
What did he mean by ’explain to them’?
Xiao Shulan was anxious and, along with Xiao Shuju, followed up, "I’m telling you, Yebai, marriage is no trivial matter. Don’t get deceived by certain people, they’re just after your money!"
"Yes, Yebai, listen to me—" Xiao Shuju was not one to talk much, but now she was clearly agitated enough to start, and it seemed like she couldn’t stop, "The classmate that Yishan introduced, she’s definitely not after your money because we’ve investigated her beforehand. Her aunt is very wealthy, so she doesn’t need to covet the Xiao family’s wealth."
"So what you’re saying is, you want me to go after her aunt’s money?" Xiao Yebai continued to peel away at their logic, still in his slow drawl.
"It’s not like that—" Xiao Shuju realized she could not outtalk her brother and looked helplessly at Xiao Shulan.
Xiao Shulan, however, shut her mouth then and gave Xiao Shuju a certain look.
Indeed, their brother, who had always done as he pleased, rarely listened to his sisters’ advice.
Talking was useless, so it might be better to think of a way to get rid of the vixen behind their brother’s back.
Xiao Yebai had already gone up the stairs.
Xiao Shulan pulled her sister into the downstairs study, closed the door, and said, "He said in a couple of days, it might not be that soon."
"Is it about grandma’s birthday?" Xiao Shuju remembered something and asked with a spark of thought.
"That must be it, grandma’s birthday is coming up." Xiao Shulan nodded.
"My goodness—" Xiao Shuju slapped her palm, lamenting, "You know how good Mrs. Ou’s niece is, and he didn’t even take a look—"
"Who said he didn’t take a look?" Xiao Shulan suddenly said.
Xiao Shuju was startled.
Xiao Shulan, seeming to understand their brother better, crossed her arms and said with certainty, "He definitely saw her somewhere."
"If he has seen her, he shouldn’t dislike her. That girl is so pretty, a real beauty." Xiao Shuju was puzzled. Don’t all men like beautiful women?
"You don’t know, maybe that Miss Su did something that he saw, which made him dislike her. Or perhaps, that vixen by his side, filled his head with something?" Xiao Shulan speculated.
"Miss Su couldn’t possibly have done something to annoy anyone." Xiao Shuju immediately denied, "I’ve seen her, she’s got good upbringing, polite. It’s got to be that vixen by his side causing mischief. Didn’t you see that vixen yourself, second sister?"
"What a pity I didn’t take her photo that night. I was worried about your brother-in-law that night, and that vixen had a forgettable face, very common. I don’t remember her very clearly. We don’t even know her name, we’ll need to find some time to check at the company."
