Chapter 210: Chapter 211: Digging Your Own Grave

Especially Senior Madame Xie. She held the little one close and didn’t want to let go, constantly ordering the butler to bring treats for the two kids.

Senior Madame Xie is soft-hearted and broad-minded.

When her only son was driven out of the house, she was saddened for a while, but quickly put it out of her mind.

In her heart, her husband cutting off ties with their son was just a ruse intended to scare him, to teach him a lesson and force him to grow up a bit.

The so-called disownment was surely nothing more than an act.

Father-child relationships couldn’t possibly be severed just like that, could they?

She was aware that her son was a disappointment. Having done nothing substantial even at middle age, he indeed deserved some lessons.

A temporary break in their relations might force her son to endure hardships out there and might inspire him to work hard and make something of himself?

With this positive thought in mind, her mood, having darkened for a bit, rapidly brightened up again, turning her back into a jolly, old lady.

Ye Xingbei looked on, flabbergasted.

When she was living in the small town below Jiang City, the elderly there often said, “Everyone has their own face and temperament.”

How true that is.

She had never seen anyone else with a temperament like that of Senior Madame Xie.

Having witnessed the treatment meted out to Xie Wenhui’s family, Xie Meiqiang and Xie Meiwei’s family maintained a low profile, not daring to show any disrespect or speak ill of Ye Xingbei.

Senior Master Xie and Senior Madame Xie enquired about Ye Xingbei’s upbringing. Hearing about her hardships, Senior Madame Xie was visibly moved to tears, holding Ye Xingbei close and sharing her pain.

Ye Xingbei was truly perplexed by the elderly woman.

How could she, without consulting with her two brothers, give her birth mother’s heirlooms to the Xie Motong sisters and still manage to feign affection, waxing eloquent about the hardships Ye Xingbei had suffered?

So, whose side was she really on?

Gu Junzhu saw her confusion and whispered into her ear, “Your grandma is like that. To put it nicely, she’s a goody-two-shoes. Conversely, she’s a bit of an airhead.”

“…” Ye Xingbei pinched him in the waist,”… Buzz off!”

Daring to disrespect the elderly woman in front of the whole Xie family, wasn’t he afraid of being chased away with a stick?!

Seeing Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei teasing each other, Senior Master Xie felt rather upset inside.

When Gu Junzhu first arrived, he showed some disapproval. However, he has since been quite polite.

He had no choice, after all, wasn’t Gu Junzhu the only son of his superior?

A little sternness can be attributed to their close relationships; he didn’t see Gu Junzhu as an outsider.

But if he showed disdain outright, given that his superior doted on his child so much, he was afraid he’d be confronted by him and asked if he had any issues with his son.

How could he dare to have issues with his superior’s son?

Was he not afraid of being reduced by his superior?

He had no ill-feelings towards Gu Junzhu, but he was unhappy inside.

The matter with Xiang Bingzhi – it was really too much on Gu Junzhu’s part. He gave him no face at all.

His unhappiness needed some outlet.

After a moment’s thought, he looked at Gu Junzhu and said, “Xiao Zhu, now that you and Beibei are officially married, shouldn’t you start calling me grandfather?”

Gu Junzhu looked away from Ye Xingbei’s face and glanced at Senior Master Xie with a sarcastic grin, “Uncle Xie, if I started calling you ‘grandfather’, it’d make you one generation higher than my father. Would you like my father to start calling you ‘uncle’ then?”

Senior Master Xie choked on his own saliva, coughed that rang throughout the
