Chapter 411: 411 His Reaction is so bland

Chapter 411

Zhou Nan felt the most uncomfortable that they were all still alive, but Liu Ling had already assumed this house was hers.

Old Third had often lived in the hospital these past few years, not even coming back for meals and drinks, although he said he was busy, Liu Ling's reason was also included.

Once someone in a family starts keeping scores, that family will no longer be as intimate as before.

When Zhi Xia and Su Ying went out together, she heard Su Ying advise: "Zhi Xia, sister-in-law, don't take those words to heart just now. We live our own lives, it's not like we owe her anything. Let her think whatever she wants, as long as she doesn't say it to our faces, we'll act like we don't know. There's no need to keep scores with her."

In fact, whether it was the house or not, Su Ying didn't really mind. She just couldn't stand Liu Ling's attitude of taking everything as her own.

The Su family was also well off back then, and unlike the An family who donated all their assets, in recent years the Su family got back quite a few houses, plus some gold, silver and family treasures hidden away back then. She herself was not lacking money.

Moreover, as the only daughter of the Su family, she had been groomed as the heir since childhood. Now she owned her own clothing factory and private custom brand, her income was in no way inferior to Zhi Xia's.

The reason she lived in her grandparents' house was first because she was a married daughter, moving back to the Su house would not look good in An Zhiang's face. Secondly, with her husband rarely home, living close to her sister-in-law was just more convenient.

"I know, sister-in-law, it's better not to overthink." She just didn't understand why when they first returned, she felt that big sister-in-law Liu Ling was pretty good, at least she took care of her, but over the years they were supposed to have grown closer, yet some unpleasantness happened because of her closeness with someone.

Zhi Xia felt clear in conscience. Whether to her elders or her nephews and nieces, she had never been petty. If she really kept scores on this, then there was nothing Zhi Xia could do.

Knowing An Jingzhi's reaction to Zhou Nan's perm, Zhi Xia couldn't help but become curious what Pei Jing's expression would be if he saw her hair.

She originally thought they might run into each other on social media, but Pei Jing returned home in less than two days.

The moment he walked in and saw her dramatically changed look, he clearly froze for a second.

But soon, he adjusted his mood and walked towards her calmly.

"The little ones are not home?" Pei Jing asked her.

"I was just too thrilled, saw the car in the yard as soon as I came home and guessed it must be my dear dad back..." Little Sixth looked back and gave Pei Jing a big bear hug. The older this boy grew, the glibber he became, just like someone else he knew.

Compared to him, PingAn standing by was the picture of composed obedience, pleasant just to look at.

"That mouth of yours, still no restraint at your age." Pei Jing merely scolded him lightly.

As boys grew older, they tended to stick to their dads because their mindsets were more similar.

Sometimes Zhi Xia felt quite jealous about it.

Luckily there was still her sweetie pie daughter at home who always came back during holidays, even bringing her gifts, utterly spoiling her mom. That was one thing Pei Jing couldn't beat her at.

Inside, after Zhi Xia had tidied herself, she could still hear Little Sixth's chattering outside.

Looking out the window, all three were in the yard. Little Sixth reporting his recent antics to Pei Jing and PingAn silently listening with a smile, such a harmonious sight.

Having several kids at home also had its downsides, mainly they took up too much of their private time.

Not until late into the night after sending away his sons, Pei Jing finally had his wife to himself.

Bodies smelling fresh from their baths, the couple chatted casually until things gradually heated up again, and the moon shyly hid among the branches...

Jiang Tao informed Zhi Xia about a charity auction dinner tomorrow night to fund education issues for children in mountain regions.

These kind of events were common but Zhi Xia only attended the first couple, later she let Jiang Tao represent to handle them.

At her door, she happened to meet Su Ying who also brought up the event, apparently she received an invitation too.

Zhi Xia didn't originally plan on going but considering Pei Jing said he was going out with friends tomorrow night, probably coming home late, and that Su Ying was going too, Zhi Xia decided she might as well just kill some time by attending.
