Chapter 1228: Chapter 1232: Really Pitiful

In the academic arena, her son could understand everything at first glance, but when it came to social niceties, he was particularly naive and innocent.

The kind of thing Xie Jinfei just said, Lingyue probably would have stopped believing by the age of three.

Her silly son was already five years old and still took such things for real.

Seeing her foolish son, she knew that people with high IQs and low EQs really existed in this world.

She felt that her son would probably be better suited to become a researcher, to engage in academia, rather than entering the business world.

So, she and Gu Junzhu still had to have another child.

Given her son’s current EQ, he simply wasn’t cut out to take over for Gu Junzhu.

This naive and pure kind of kid, if put into the business world, would undoubtedly be scammed out of everything in no time.

Xie Jinfei, having been disdained by his sister, chuckled foolishly, suddenly thought of something, dragged his suitcase over, and took out an exquisite box from it: “Sis, this is something I bought especially for you, it’s great for nourishing and enriching the blood, really good for women! Let me make you a cup to try!”

Full of enthusiasm, Xie Jinfei headed into the kitchen, determined to make amends and let his sister forget that he just had a nonsensical conversation with his nephew, which his nephew had actually believed.

He brewed a cup for Ye Xingbei, and holding the cup, brought it to her like presenting a treasure: “This is called Cordyceps Donkey-hide Gelatine Soup, specially for ladies, nourishing and blood enriching, makes you more beautiful the more you drink! It’s a new product from my friend’s company, selling really well, incredibly expensive, and also limited edition, I snagged one just for you!”

Being so attentively served by her own brother, Ye Xingbei felt both warm and sweet inside, taking the cup.

It was just made, very hot, couldn’t be drunk yet, but the aroma was already quite inviting, sweet and fragrant, particularly tempting.

Ye Xingbei took a deep sniff: “Smells good.”

“Right?” Xie Jinfei, pleased with himself: “It tastes even better than it smells. I brought two bottles over for you, try this first, if you like it, I’ll bring you more later.”

With a smile, Ye Xingbei nodded, “Thank you, Second Brother.”

“Why the formalities with me?” Xie Jinfei waved his hand dismissively, looked around the living room, and asked: “Where’s Fifth Brother? Why isn’t he here?”

Ye Xingbei said, “He’s in the study having a video conference with people from Headquarters of Gu Corporation.”

“Poor thing!” Xie Jinfei shook his head in pity, stretched lazily, and reclined comfortably on the sofa, “I can officially enjoy my leave, and this is probably the only good thing Senior Madame and that little white flower have done.”

“Little white flower?” Ye Xingbei asked, “You mean Grandmother’s niece’s granddaughter?”

“Yeah,” nodded Xie Jinfei, “the little white flower’s name is Bai Linglong, looks pitiful and delicate, but has skin thicker than a city wall. I’ve said I don’t like her, told her to stay away from me, yet she actually had the nerve to say that as the younger generation, we should be filial. Since Grandma wants us together, for Grandma’s happiness, I should just marry her. Can you believe that?”

“She’s after you for your assets, isn’t she?” Ye Xingbei hit the nail on the head: “You’re handsome and rich, Second Young Master of Xie family, and you’re probably in the top ten of Beijing’s most eligible wealthy, unmarried men. She’s just an orphan girl, having nothing, and only by leveraging Grandma’s support might she marry you, otherwise, which wealthy family would be willing to marry a girl with nothing at all?”

It’s not that there were no Cinderella stories, but they were too rare.

If a sparrow wanted to become a phoenix, without family backing, it must have outstanding personal qualities.

Either extraordinarily beautiful or exceptionally talented.
