“Hey, here I am eating!” the girl said indifferently, tossing her backpack onto the ground.
Old Xie couldn’t contain his anger when he saw her.
“You’re home so late again, where have you been?”
This young girl was none other than Old Xie’s daughter, Xie Jingjing.
She said dismissively, “Nowhere much, just went racing with some friends for a bit.’
Old Xie was infuriated by Xie Jingjing’s attitude and was about to explode.
But Auntie Pang, feeling sorry for her daughter, hurriedly said, “Jingjing, guess who’s back?”
“Whoever it is, whatever!” Xie Jingjing spoke carelessly, about to head into the inner room.
At that moment, Xue An let out a sigh and said softly, “Jingjing!”
Xie Jingjing, who hadn’t cared at all, was stunned when she heard this voice, and then she saw Xue An sitting there with a gentle smile on his face, her eyes filling with tears.
“Xiao… Xiao An, brother?” Xie Jingjing’s voice trembled.
There was still a hint of disbelief in her tone.
Xue An smiled and nodded, “Yes, it’s me, I’m back!”
Before Xue An could finish speaking, Xie Jingjing rushed over and buried herself in his embrace, crying out loud.
The atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.
Fan Mengxue and Tang Xuan’er exchanged glances, then continued eating as if nothing unusual was happening.
“Xiao An, brother, where have you been these four years? They all said you were dead, but I knew you weren’t, because I often dreamed about you.”
Xue An felt the girl’s tears soaking his chest and felt a sense of poignancy, then patted Xie Jingjing’s head gently.
“Come on, you’re such a big girl now, are you still crying?”
Xie Jingjing looked up, her face streaked with ruined makeup from the tears.
Xue An couldn’t help but laugh at her comical appearance.
Noticing her embarrassing state, Xie Jingjing quickly covered her face and dashed into the inner room.
Xue An looked at Auntie Pang and Old Xie and couldn’t help saying with a laugh, “Jingjing’s grown up so much.”
“Tell me about it! Now that you’re back, you really should talk to her. She listens to you most,” Auntie Pang said.
Old Xie was delighted and lifted his cup, having another drink with Xue An.
At this time, Xie Jingjing came back with her face washed clean.
Without the messy makeup, Xie Jingjing appeared fresh-faced and lovely, then slowly moved towards Xue An.
“Haven’t eaten yet, have you? Come on, sit down and eat!” Auntie Pang, feeling pity for her daughter, said urgently.
But Xie Jingjing noticed Xue Xiang and another girl, her eyes turning red, “These are… Xiao An, brother, are they your daughters?”
Xue An nodded.
“Then who are those two?” Xie Jingjing pointed at Tang Xuan’er and Fan Mengxue and asked.
“Jingjing, how can you be so impolite!” Auntie Pang said, a bit angry. Fan Mengxue smiled slightly, “Auntie, it’s okay, I quite like Jingjing.”
Xue An said, “They are my friends!”
“Just friends?” Xie Jingjing dug deeper.
Xue An was at a loss for words and chuckled, “What else would they be if not friends?”
Xie Jingjing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and then put on a smile, taking a seat next to Xue An.
“To the two sisters, let me toast to you first!” Xie Jingjing filled a glass and said to Fan Mengxue and Tang Xuan’er.
Old Xie frowned, “Stop being ridiculous!”
Fan Mengxue waved her hand and also filled a glass, “Alright! I’ll have a drink with you, sister!”
This time her eyes started to look bleary.
