Chapter 36: Lin Xi’s household register still laid with the Lin family. (1)

After shooing away the three other men, Gu Qinghua brought his cellphone in front of a photo of his late wife.

Wife, look. Our second boys child. She looks just like you when you were young.

He talked some more in front of his wifes picture and was very happy with the photo in hand. Our family has a little princess now.

The Gu family only had sons for a few generations, never a daughter. His wife was finally pregnant with a daughter once but had lost the baby inadvertently right before delivery. That had become a permanent pain in the old grandpas heart.UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

Sighing, the old grandpa pulled out his cellphone again and looked at the photos. He was unable to his phone down.

After he had clicked out of it, he flipped to an old buddys WeChat and recorded a voice message, So what if your family has a daughter!

Then he played it back to himself pridefully a couple more times.

Over on the other end, Old Grandpa Shen was speechless when he heard Old Grandpa Gus voice message.

What was wrong with this Gu Qinghua? He had almost deafened him.

On this end, Lin Xi had yet to find out that she had been betrayed by Aunty Mei.

After dinner, Lin Xi returned to her own room, pulled out her old text books and reviewed the chapters that she was behind on.

Then she pulled out her cellphone.

On her phone, the request that she had sent to join the group that she had long forgotten had been approved.

The corners of Lin Xis lips twitched when she saw the goofy group name Battle at the Summit of Tianchuang.

The owner of the group explained.

[AAA]: They were mostly just talk, or that they had already formed their own team and were just there to see if they could gleam some information. They wouldnt really join the group chat.

Was that so?

Lin Xi was taken aback a little. Why did she feel that she was the only one that was fooled?

Then there was another brother who was offline.

[AAA]: Are you solo or have you already joined a team?

[X]: Just me.

[AAA]: Well, thats great. Why dont you join us then?

That was kind of sloppy, no?

Lin Xi couldn't help but thought.

She had no idea how to tell him that she hadnt planned on joining a competition of this caliber, so she made up something on the fly: Let me think about it.

[AAA]: Thats fine. Take your time. You are in our group chat already. We will save a spot for you on our team.

[X]: Thank you.

Lin Xi clicked out of the chat and, hesitated for a little, felt that the owner of the group was quite pitiful and stayed in the group.

With whatever few members in the group, itd go away on its own anyway.
