Transmigrated as the Ex-Wife of a Heroic Man - Chapter 1166
Chapter 1166: Chapter 1166: Sixth Sister Doesn’t Want to Talk to You
“Uncle.”
Xu Xiaoxiao had also donned a crisp suit today, just didn’t bother with a tie, appearing somewhat lazily unrestrained compared to Zhou Hengguang and the others, but anyone could tell as soon as he approached Zhou Jihuai.
The reason Xu Xiaoxiao was like this was because a nephew often resembles his uncle.
Both men inadvertently possessed a kind of prodigal unrestraint, but only Xu Xiaoxiao, at twenty, still had the lingering air of youth, his figure also slightly leaner, lacking Zhou Jihuai’s mature dominance.
But seeing Zhou Jihuai now, one could imagine Xu Xiaoxiao in the future.
“Come here,” Zhou Jihuai beckoned his nephew over with a wave.
Xu Xiaoxiao immediately walked over with Liu Chun and Liu Qiang, making introductions for Liu Chun. Liu Qiang looked on pitifully at Xu Xiaoxiao from the side, eagerly waiting to be introduced himself.
They had heard about another young uncle of the Zhou family since they were children but had never met him. Whenever the elders mentioned this young uncle, they would express an inscrutable look.
There is a saying, “The fewer the words, the bigger the issue.”
It referred to the Zhou family’s young uncle.
Xu Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes but still introduced Liu Qiang, leaving Liu Qiang grinning idiotically with delight.
Zhou Jihuai leaned to his nephew’s ear and asked, “Where did you find this little fool?”
“It wasn’t me, it was Zhou Hengyang,” replied Xu Xiaoxiao.
“That’s your cousin,” Zhou Jihuai corrected, realizing that in the years he hadn’t been back, his little nephew had grown more unruly.
“Oh!”
“Oh, what?”
“I know that!” Xu Xiaoxiao showed his uncle a mischievous half-smile, “But I just find him annoying.”
Zhou Jihuai laughed, not sure if it was out of exasperation or amusement, and couldn’t help but ruffle his nephew’s hair forcefully, much to Xu Xiaoxiao’s chagrin, making his strikingly handsome face puff up like a blowfish. Then, turning his head, he saw the crafty Third Cousin standing far away, immediately understanding the reason why.
When he was younger, his uncle would always ruffle his hair, turning it into a bird’s nest. After so many years, the habit hadn’t changed.
“Don’t mess it up, you’ve mussed it all,” complained Xu Xiaoxiao, pulling away from his uncle and trying to regain his footing, only to be rushed by a criminally cute, exquisitely carved jadeite-like little girl.
Little sister came bursting out of the store upon seeing Big Brother Xu, thrilled and enthusiastically welcoming him.
Ever since they had recognized each other as relatives, the two girls spent half their time at the Xu family’s.
Xu Pei truly treated the two girls as if they were his own daughters, sending them gifts from the Capital when he was away and occasionally returning home to see them, seemingly headed in the direction of doting fatherhood.
Nobody would have expected the stern Xu Pei to have a daughter-doting side, Su Wen muttered countless times behind his back.
“Big Brother Xu, you’re back! I’ve missed you so much,” Little sister said, looking up with a smile, “Did you miss me? And what about dad? Did he come back with you?”
The little girl had grown super fond of Xu Pei, already treating him as her real father.
“Dad didn’t come.” One moment, the aloof and proud Xu Xiaoxiao transformed into the silly big brother the next, squatting down to easily lift Little sister and consoling her: “Dad brought a gift for Little sister! Wait for me to get it for you.”
“I don’t want to be carried; I’m so big now.” Little sister was embarrassed to be carried in front of so many people.
“You’re only how old?” Xu Xiaoxiao didn’t care, “Where’s Sixth sister?”
“Sixth sister said she doesn’t ever want to see you again, doesn’t want to talk to you.”
