Chapter 1682: Chapter 1683: Rong Yan is coming over for dinner tonight
He forcefully swallowed the stifling breath in his chest, his hawk-like gaze swept past Chu Xi as he said to Jiang Chenyue, "I did indeed invite a friend over for dinner tonight; an outsider being present wouldnāt be appropriate..."
What is this child saying, knowing full well that Chu Xi is not an outsider, sheās his... sister. Jiang Chenyue slightly frowned, her beauty was regal and elegant, defying the ravages of time. She looked at Qin Jun in confusion, unable to understand what he really meant, "But Iāve already asked Xi to stay home for dinner."
"She can come over anytime, but I rarely get the chance to invite this friend over. I donāt want her staying here and ruining my friendās appetite!"
How downright rude!
Chu Xi pouted, almost fuming with rage.
Jiang Chenyue gave him a reproachful glare, "Talk properly."
Chu Xi got even angrier.
Qin Jun humiliated her this way, and Jiang Chenyue didnāt even bother to scold him. Is she even her biological daughter?!
She clenched her palm tightly, and the more dissatisfied she was, the more grateful she was for having left herself a backup plan earlier.
Qin Jun raised his chin, hands shoved into his pockets, his face unruly, "Iām just telling the truth."
He lifted his eyelids, glancing at the displeased Chu Xi, his tone full of disdain, "Sheās always been an eyesore and a nuisance!"
Chu Xiās eyes reddened completely, biting her lip without saying a word.
Jiang Chenyue watched her pale, delicate face, originally just upset with his tantrum, now turning into anger. She suddenly slammed the table, growling, "Qin Jun, you canāt bully your sister like this. What are you doing today? What did Xi do to annoy you, that youāre targeting her at every turn? Youāre her brother; you shouldnāt be bullying her if you canāt even indulge her. Does that even make sense? Even if you werenāt her brother, as a man, you should at least have some gentlemanly demeanor!"
"...Haha, I canāt bring myself to be a gentleman to her."
"Qin Jun!" Jiang Chenyue was livid, her elegant features turning slightly pale with rage.
Chu Xi immediately understood and supported her, gently patting her back to soothe her, "Mom, donāt be angry. Iām not upset with my brother. I know Mr. Qin doesnāt like me, Iāll slowly make him like me, donāt be mad. If you get sick from anger, Iāll be heartbroken."
Despite not being fond of some of Chu Xiās actions, given that sheās her long-lost daughter, Jiang Chenyue would strive to tolerate and teach her, no matter how many shortcomings Chu Xi might have. In her view, Qin Jun, as her brother, should similarly try to guide Chu Xi on the right path, instead of mockingly confronting his sister every time they meet.
"Juner, apologize."
Her face was solemn, her expression dark as if it could drip water.
"Apologize to your sister!"
Qin Jun stood tall, glanced at the pretend-innocent Chu Xi, and bluntly refused, "I will never apologize to her, never going to happen!"
"I invited Rong Yan over for dinner tonight. After how she humiliated her during the last birthday party, having her stay here would probably make Rong Yan lose her appetite. Besides, I didnāt tell her sheād be here when I invited her over, and if I did, she might not have agreed to come."
Jiang Chenyue, who was just seething with rage, was suddenly surprised when she heard this, "You invited Yan?"
Her expression, her tone, clearly showing more joy than anger.
Not only that, she even forgot about Chu Xi soothing her back, stood up excitedly, grabbed Qin Junās hands with delight, "Why didnāt you say so earlier."
