Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Who Told You That Was a Figure of Speech? ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel{f}ire.net
The hamster was immediately trapped by the window, unable to move, frantically waving its four paws, and squeaking loudly.
Duan Xingye walked to the window and exclaimed, “My heavens, when did mice get so fat? How much has it stolen to eat to get ?”
Xue Qiu was furious, squeaking madly: ‘Kid, I am just fluffily plump!’
Bai Chuwei waved her hand lightly, sending a breeze to open the window. Xue Qiu threatened Duan Xingye with several loud squeaks and then dashed towards Bai Chuwei, landing on her shoulder in an instant.
Xue Qiu, feeling aggrieved, said, ‘Ancestor, you’ve really had me worried sick. I saw you and some wild man flying in the sky from the Bai Family attic.’
Xue Qiu was genuinely worried. Today was the death anniversary of someone, and Xue Qiu feared that the ancestor might get drunk and run into trouble.
Bai Chuwei pointed to the droopy giant paper crane at the window and clucked her tongue, “Is this the reason you’ve been knocking out five of my paper cranes? You really are fat.”
Duan Xingye was shocked: “This hamster is yours, Weiwei? It understands what we’re saying?”
Bai Chuwei’s eyebrows twitched, and she smiled deeply, “A hamster? It’s older than you.”
Xue Qiu proudly raised its head.
Duan Xingye was incredibly surprised, babbling non-stop, “Uncle, I’ve heard that hamsters only live a couple of years before they die. This one is something else, has it become a spirit?”
Duan Feihan remained composed, not shocked at all. Having personally tried riding on a Feiyu Carpet in the sky, what else couldn’t he accept?
Duan Xingye couldn’t help but admire his uncle. It was no wonder he was a big shot who had seen the world.
Bai Chuwei got off Duan Feihan’s bed, took the perfume Xue Qiu brought her, sprayed it in front of herself to dispel the smell of alcohol, and casually asked, “Duan Xingye, shouldn’t you be in your room studying with all the review materials I gave you?”
“Why are you running to your uncle’s room? Are you here to catch an affair?”
Duan Feihan was about to put the glass in the kitchen sink when his hand slipped, nearly dropping it to the floor!
Catch, catch an affair?
Even the usually calm Duan Feihan’s face changed slightly upon hearing this remark.
Duan Xingye, nervous, said, “How would I dare catch my uncle and you in an affair? I can’t afford to provoke either of you.” Duan Xingye muttered bitterly, his eyes dimming, “Today, my dad took Xu Xingchen to be a groomsman, and he just brought him back home.”
His mother had gotten so angry over this that she went back to her parents’ house.
Bai Chuwei’s eyebrows rose slightly. Is that so?
Is Xu Xingchen, the male lead, starting drama again?
Indeed, worthy of being the original’s protagonist, the child of fortune; even lightning couldn’t stir up trouble for him.
In the Duan Family’s grand hall, Xu Xingchen was brought in by Duan Xiuhao. Seeing the understated luxury of the hall decorations, with even the vases in the corners resembling antique objets d’art, he subconsciously pursed his lips, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
The Duan Family patriarch was still troubled by the incident at his third son’s wedding earlier that day, and now his eldest had brought back his illegitimate son.
Duan Xiuhao, looking at the patriarch’s darkened face, also felt uneasy and ventured, “Dad, we owe a lot to Xingchen today. With the big scene that was caused at the third son’s wedding, if it weren’t for Xingchen helping the fourth son handle the situation, who knows how bad it would have gotten.”
“Dad, I know the words you said at the recovery banquet were said in anger.”
The Duan Family patriarch said coolly, “Who told you that was said in anger?”
