1278 The Kids Have Grown Up (4)

Liu Xiyi had been a shrewd person since she was young. Even when she was still a baby, Chen Meng’er had already guessed that such a day would come.

“Mommy, it can’t be!” Liu Xiyi wailed.

“Ahem, what do you think?” Chen Meng’er raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile.

“Mommy, my brothers will have an opinion. In fact, I think my brothers are more suitable for such responsibility.” Liu Xiyi mercilessly betrayed her two brothers.

“I’m sorry. Your two brothers told Mommy that they think you are more suitable than them.” Chen Meng’er covered her mouth and laughed. Her two sons also did not have such ambitions. “Your eldest brother is more interested in business, while your second brother is more interested in finance.”

“Ah, I knew it. Why did they suddenly change their minds?” Liu Xiyi did not expect that her two brothers would make a fool out of her. “Hmph, Yuwen Xichen, Qu Xilei, just you wait. Watch how I settle the score with you.” Liu Xiyi rolled up her sleeves and was about to go and settle the score with her two brothers.

“If you want to settle the score with Yuan Yuan and Mao Mao, I have no objections. However, we have something important to do now.” A sly look flashed across Chen Meng’er’s eyes. Liu Xiyi only wanted to settle the score with her two brothers, but she didn’t see the look in her mother’s eyes.

If she saw it, she would know what was going to happen.

“What is it?” Liu Xiyi asked curiously.

“You’ll know in a while. Su Jin, help me change Tuan Tuan’s clothes,” Chen Meng’er said to Su Jin. She had been by her side for many years but had never found a partner.

“Okay, Little Miss.” Su Jin had not changed much in the past 18 years.

When Su Jin turned to look at Liu Xiyi, she could not hide the affection in her eyes.

“Aunt Jin, I miss you so much.” Liu Xiyi’s acting was way better than her mother’s.

“You miss me, but you don’t come back to visit me often.” Su Jin revealed a rare smile. She had watched Liu Xiyi and her siblings grow up, so she doted on them as if they were her own children.

“You can’t blame me for this. It’s all Daddy’s fault.” Liu Xiyi unkindly pushed all the blame onto her father. “By the way, Auntie Jin, is there anything important today? Why did Mommy ask me to change my clothes?” Liu Xiyi asked softly as she held Su Jin’s hand.

“About that, your mother asked me to keep it a secret. If I tell you, it won’t be easy to explain it to your mother,” Su Jin said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry as she thought about the plans her little miss had for her.

She didn’t expect her little miss to have such a gossipy side.

“Aunt Jin, you don’t love me at all,” Liu Xiyi complained. She knew that although Su Jin, Zhou Yunbo, and Zhou Yunjie all loved her, they were always on her mother’s side.

“It’s not that I don’t love you, but you know your mother’s temper.” No matter how much Su Jin loved Liu Xiyi, she would listen to her little miss first. “Alright, stop pouting. You’ll find out soon enough. Here, this gown was specially drawn by your mother for you. She even got a tailor to hand-finish it for you.”

“Wow, it’s so beautiful. Mommy is really an all-rounder. I realized that there’s nothing she can’t do.” Many of Liu Xiyi’s clothes were made by her mother. However, every time she saw clothes designed by her mother, she couldn’t help but be amazed.

“Your mother is a genius,” Su Jin said with a look of admiration. “Alright, hurry up and change. Let Auntie Jin see if they fit.”

“Mommy, where are we going?” After Liu Xiyi changed her clothes and tied up her hair, her parents had also changed their clothes and were waiting for her in the living room. In a daze, she got into the car that was heading somewhere.

“To attend a banquet.” Chen Meng’er smiled like a little fox. “Jing, we haven’t seen them for more than ten years.”

“Mm.” Yuwen Jing was not in the mood. If it weren’t for Chen Meng’er’s request, he wouldn’t have gone.

“Who is it, Mommy? Also, Mommy, you know I don’t like going to these things,” Liu Xiyi complained.

“Oh, it’s an old friend of Mommy’s. They haven’t been back for more than ten years. It’s not easy for them to come back this time. Tuan Tuan, please bear with it for Mommy.” Chen Meng’er would never say that she would drag her daughter to attend banquets on purpose.

“Mommy, why don’t you bring my brothers?” Liu Xiyi hated to attend banquets the most. She had only attended a few of them when she was young and rarely appeared after that.

Therefore, very few people had seen Liu Xiyi. In fact, Liu Xiyi could be considered the most mysterious lady in the capital.

“She gave birth to a son. Why would I bring your two brothers?” Chen Meng’er whispered.

“What?” Chen Meng’er’s voice was not loud, so Liu Xiyi did not hear it and asked.

“Nothing.” Chen Meng’er wouldn’t say it out loud. If she did, her daughter might open the door and run away.

“Meng’er, I don’t think it’s good for you to do this.” Yuwen Jing knew his wife’s thoughts. He didn’t agree, but he wouldn’t stop her.

“Ah, I’m just creating an opportunity for the young people. I’m not forcing them to do anything.” In fact, Chen Meng’er had always felt that she owed Chen Ming, so, when Chen Ming proposed to let the young people get to know each other, she didn’t refuse.

“Mommy, Daddy, what are you guys talking about? Why can’t I understand?” Liu Xiyi asked with a frown. She had a bad feeling about this.

“It’s nothing. It’s only right that you can’t understand what adults are saying,” Chen Meng’er said with a flattering smile. “Mommy will introduce you to an uncle later. This uncle is Mommy’s good friend.” Chen Meng’er changed the topic. If this topic continued, her daughter might ask something else. Her daughter was a little fox.
