Chapter 214: 'Extra' doesn’t look like a good person
Chapter 214
The parrot felt offended, while Xu Yan also felt a bit embarrassed: "This isn't right, is it?"
Ye Jin waved his hand dismissively: "It's fine, they'll find bugs to eat when they're hungry."
Parrot: "..." Who eats bugs? Who eats bugs?!
Xu Yan gently tapped the parrot's head with her finger: "Then you won't have dinner tonight."
Parrot: "..." Bad kids!!
"Why weren't you replying again? Bullying the weak, huh?" Xu Mo's angry voice came from the doorway.
Xu Yan was startled: "I wasn't!"
The tall man striding over had dripping wet hair.
Xu Yan blinked innocently: "Brother, you came so fast!"
Xu Mo frowned: "Whose clothes are you wearing?"
Xu Yan looked down at the red shirt she was wearing and said honestly: "It's the boss's sister's clothes. My clothes got soaked when I came in to take shelter from the rain."
Xu Mo shifted his gaze to Ye Jin, his brow furrowing deeper: "Haven't I seen you somewhere before? Why do I feel so disgusted looking at you?"
Ye Jin: "..."
He smiled gently: "Perhaps I have a common face, so Mr. Xu has seen someone who looks very similar to me, and that person happened to have a conflict with you."
Xu Mo looked puzzled: "Are you stupid or do you think I'm stupid?"
This guy has a common face?
Xu Yan weakly came out: "Brother, didn't you come to pick me up?"
Xu Mo pulled his sister aside: "You stay over there. I'm afraid we might hurt you if we start fighting."
Xu Yan was confused for a moment, then quickly stood between them: "Wait, wait, wait! Why are you fighting?"
After saying that, Xu Mo seemed confused too. He cleared his throat: "I was just joking. No fighting, let's go home."
Strange... why did he suddenly want to beat up this boss?
Ye Jin suppressed a smile and put on a serious expression: "Please take your time. Next time, I'll treat you both to drinks."
Xu Mo waved dismissively: "Sure, sure." He pulled Xu Yan by the hand, "Let's go home now!"
Xu Yan bounced as she looked back: "Goodbye, boss! Next time, I'll wash your sister's clothes clean and bring them back to you!"
Ye Jin smiled warmly: "Okay, no need to rush."
Xu Mo dragged his sister along, shielding her head with his jacket as they headed back to the car.
Xu Yan nimbly climbed into the car, and before she could sit properly, she heard her brother scolding her: "Are you close with that boss?"
Xu Yan pondered: "A little bit?"
Xu Mo frowned: "I don't think he's a good person. Stay away from him in the future."
Xu Yan rolled her eyes: "Come on, you think everyone's not a good person."
Xu Mo started the car quickly: "You're the one who doesn't look like a good person."
Xu Yan was about to retort when she suddenly felt an itch in her nose and sneezed violently.
Xu Mo couldn't bother scolding his sister anymore and sped up: "Get a towel and wipe your hair dry. You're going to catch a cold!"
Xu Yan lazily rummaged around, making Xu Mo anxious.
He didn't say anything else and drove home as fast as he could, then dragged his sister inside.
"Mom! My sister got caught in the rain and might have a cold!"
Xu Yan called out too: "I don't have a cold! I just sneezed!"
Bai Hua peeked her head out from the kitchen: "Just a moment!"
She wiped her hands and walked out: "Yan! Go take a shower and change your clothes first. Then let your brother help you dry your hair. I'm busy right now."
As Xu Yan ran to her room, she said: "I can blow-dry my own hair."
Xu Mo followed closely behind: "You blow-drying is worse than letting your hair air dry."
Xu Yan grunted but wisely didn't say anything else.
The siblings bickered and teased each other all the way. When they returned downstairs, Bai Hua had already set the dishes on the table.
Xu Yan slid over to her mom: "Mom~"
Bai Hua ruffled her daughter's head: "Dinner's almost ready. Let me call and ask your dad when he'll be home."
Xu Yan the Obedient Tool dutifully took out her phone: "Oh!"
She tapped the screen a few times, then ran back: "Mom, my phone got damaged from the rain!"
Xu Mo leaned over to take a look: "Didn't you use this phone for two years already? After dinner, I'll take you to buy a new one."
Bai Hua glanced over at them: "Don't spoil her. She has money, let her buy it herself."
Xu Yan immediately started whining: "But I don't have money!"
Bai Hua didn't even look at her: "I just helped clean your room and saw those few fat piggy banks."
Xu Yan touched her nose: "Okay then!"
"What's wrong with Yan's piggy banks?" Xu Yi walked in from outside, overhearing the conversation.
Bai Hua waved him over: "Come eat quickly, we were just waiting for you. Your daughter said her phone broke and she needs a new one."
Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh: "Then buy one. Yan, dad will take you to buy one after dinner."
Xu Yan looked obedient: "Dad, mom said I should use the money from my piggy banks."
Xu Yi went to help his wife carry the dishes: "But you've been saving those piggy banks for years. Can you bear to break them?"
Xu Yan laughed dryly: "It's fine, I was planning to buy a few more anyway."
Xu Mo clicked his tongue: "One pig raising several more pigs."
Xu Yan: "..."
She turned to tattle: "Mom, my brother is insulting me again!"
Bai Hua was too lazy to bother with them: "Just serve yourselves!"
The two hurried over: "Coming!"
As they were eating, Xu Yan suddenly slapped the table: "Oh! I forgot!"
The other three looked over: "What did you forget again?"
Xu Yan grinned: "I forgot to get that boss's contact information. He's so handsome!"
The others: "..."
Bai Hua seemed quite surprised: "Which boss? You actually found someone you like?"
Xu Yan whispered: "An owner of a tavern. He looks around the same age as my brother, but much more handsome."
Xu Mo was expressionless: "Xu Yan, I advise you not to go too far."
Xu Yi frowned too: "Running a tavern? Doesn't sound like an upright person."
Trying to snatch his precious daughter away, of course he's not an upright person!
Xu Yan argued: "That's not true! The boss said he opened the tavern to accommodate people without families, just like what I want to do in the future!"
Xu Mo sneered: "That kind of talk is just to deceive silly little girls like you."
Xu Yi also snorted: "If you want to open a tavern, your dad will open one for you. Why envy others?"
Xu Yan felt that her father and brother were completely unable to communicate. She scooted closer to Bai Hua: "Mom, dad and brother just don't understand!"
Bai Hua laughed and cried: "You three are so childish? Xu Mo, did you see the owner when you went to pick up Xu Yan?"
Xu Mo rudely commented: "I saw him, doesn't look like a good person."
Xu Yan glared at him: "You're the one who doesn't look like a good person!"
