Chapter 829: Chapter 829: Killed by My Son’s Foolishness

How could the little guy like it?

The little guy hasn’t interacted with many people. Even if he is smart, handling social interactions and verbal sparring isn’t just about intelligence.

It takes experience and a certain amount of worldly wisdom to discern some ambiguities in words.

Regarding Sun Qihui’s words, the little guy instinctively felt that they weren’t good ones.

However, he didn’t have the experience to respond to such words, so he simply sat obediently next to Zhao Guoxian.

Zhao Guoxian had been listening to Zhao Dingye and the others talk, and since he wasn’t qualified to interject, he was a bit bored just listening, so he peeled a lot of melon seeds for the little guy.

They had now piled up into a small plate, full to the brim.

Zhao Guoxian felt quite sorry for the little guy, meeting them for the first time today and having to face so much malice.

He didn’t know how to respond to Sun Qihui’s words either.

How could a child not even five years old endure such difficulty?

Zhao Guoxian placed the small plate of melon seeds into Xiao Mo’s hand: "Here, your Third Uncle peeled these for you."

The little guy was extremely surprised and felt a lot of goodwill from this gesture.

With a flushed face, he said to Zhao Guoxian, "Thank you, Third Uncle, you’re so nice!"

Zhao Guoxian grinned, asking softly, "So is your Third Uncle the best in the world?"

The little guy looked around.

Seeing that the attention of the great-grandparents, grandparents, and father was on Zhao Dingye and Sun Qihui,

He figured they weren’t noticing him here.

So the little guy nodded and said, "Third Uncle is the best in the world to me."

After a pause, the little guy added softly to Zhao Guoxian, "Third Uncle, I feel like the two of us are... well, what’s that thing..."

No matter how clever Zhao Guoxian was, he couldn’t figure out what the little guy wanted to say from the words "what’s that thing".

"It’s an idiom." The little guy stuck out four fingers, "Four words."

Zhao Guoxian: "..."

Is his big nephew trying to play a guessing game with him?

"Xiang... What’s that?" The little guy racked his brain for a while and then said, "It means we met too late!"

"Love at first sight?" Zhao Guoxian asked.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The little guy nodded repeatedly, "That’s it, love at first sight."

Zhao Guoxian seemed to meet a kindred spirit, patting the little guy on the shoulder, "I feel the same way. I liked you the moment I saw you!"

Lin Ligge: "..."

Lin Ligge twitched at the corners of her mouth, feeling that her son was incredibly foolish.

What should she do?

Her husband is now determined to be naive, even though he’s quite cunning deep down.

But their son is truly naive.

How is he going to find a girlfriend like this?

To be able to be good friends with a five-year-old, how pure and innocent must he be?

Ye Fei watched the interaction between Zhao Guoxian and the little guy over there and smiled.

Then she said to Sun Qihui, "Second Aunt, you’re really too polite. How could anyone disdain the thoughtfulness behind your welcome gift for Xiao Mo?"

Sun Qihui smiled, thinking that the wife Zhao Gushen married isn’t a simple person.

You could tell just by how Ye Fei responded to Zhao Dingye earlier.

Originally, upon hearing what Zhao Dingye said, she thought Ye Fei would be following Zhao Dingye’s lead.

It was hard to resist.

After all, when a person is pushed to a certain degree, it’s hard to maintain rationality and a good mindset to think about how to respond.

But Ye Fei managed to say something in such a short amount of time that those unable to resist turned out to be Zhao Dingye.

It’s because of what Ye Fei said that later led to the old couple and Zhao Dinghuan’s accusations.

If not for Ye Fei’s words, the old couple and Zhao Dinghuan would have found it hard to make those accusations.

However, since she was only watching from the sidelines and didn’t participate, she didn’t fully experience the difficulty of facing Ye Fei directly.

But now, hearing Ye Fei’s response to her, Sun Qihui truly felt it.

Luckily, it was just this one sentence, if she had said more, she might have lost face completely.

Sun Qihui’s smile didn’t quite reach her eyes, but she quickly felt it wasn’t surprising.

Ye Fei, a nobody, just an ordinary person, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her a Cinderella.

Yet she managed to marry into the Zhao Family, marrying Zhao Gushen.

How could she possibly be a simple character?

You really can’t underestimate Ye Fei. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

These people grew up steeped in a family environment full of deception and trickery, they’re used to it.

And they’ve been trained this way.

But Ye Fei, an ordinary person, where would she encounter so much deceit and trickery?

And this girl is so young, only 25 after the New Year, not even had her birthday yet.

Where did she get such cunning?

This heart of hers is no less sly than those old foxes.

Just then, Aunt Lin came out wearing an apron, telling everyone they could have lunch now.

Everyone went to the dining room together.

Once seated, Lin Ligge wanted to ask when the next cooking competition would be held.

She and Zhao Dinglian wanted to go support in person, but Zhao Dingye had just brought up the matter of Ye Fei withdrawing from the competition.

The topic of the cooking competition wasn’t exactly cheerful, so Lin Ligge decided to let it go for now.

"Gu Qing, how have you been lately?" The old lady asked Zhao Guqing again.

Zhao Guqing also works at Zhao Dingye’s company as a vice president.

But Zhao Dingye is somewhat self-willed.

Even if Zhao Guqing proposes something, as long as it contradicts Zhao Dingye’s decisions or ideas,

Zhao Dingye wouldn’t listen.

Otherwise, Zhao Guqing thought the company’s performance wouldn’t look as bad as it did.

And it wouldn’t have given the old couple and Zhao Dinghuan a reason to criticize.

Letting them use the company’s performance as leverage.

At this time, Zhao Guqing smiled lightly, saying, "Not bad, everything is going pretty smoothly."

"I recently got a promotion at the company." Zhao Guqing said, "Regarding the company’s performance issue that Big Uncle mentioned earlier, I’ve also noticed it."

"So lately, I’ve been researching and coming up with some plans." Zhao Guqing said.

Zhao Guqing thought, after all, he hasn’t worked at the company for many years.

When he first started, he was worried about not being respected by others.

So, he started as a department manager.

With his achievements and being Zhao Family,

It took years for him to be promoted from department manager to deputy general manager, then general manager.

Until this year, he had just been promoted to vice president.

Due to his previous lower position, even though he was part of the Zhao Family, he had no say in company decisions.

But even after his recent promotion, with Zhao Dingye around,

His situation hasn’t improved much.

Now that Zhao Guqing says this, he isn’t afraid of the old couple thinking he’s incompetent at all.
