Chapter 115 Like-Sex Repulsion Between Alphas
Huo Shen was determined to save his little girl, so he deliberately spent time chatting with his older brother in the main house.
Everyone present was shrewd. Duan Bingqian knew about the Xie family's affairs and covered for his brother while chatting with Huo Shen about work.
At first, the eldest brother was thinking that he couldn't refuse to give Huo Shen face, but he couldn't refuse to give President Duan face either, so he listened patiently to everything they said and thought about it.
But as darkness fell, the older brother finally realized that the two were actually in cahoots and had conspired to trick him, an honest man.
As for the purpose, the eldest brother picked up his tea and sneered.
Everyone knows that his mischievous little sister still owes him a beating, while his cunning son-in-law is desperately playing the bad cop.
Thinking of this, he simply stopped giving Duan Bingqian face, put down his teacup, and got up to take his leave.
Huo Shen was about to say something when he saw his elder brother giving him a sarcastic, forced smile:
"Don't worry, Mr. Huo. Xie Junfei is my younger sister, Xie Wenzhou's sister. At most, a girl who runs away from home will be given a lesson, but her bottom won't be beaten black and blue."
"It's not that I need you to play the good guy."
After saying that, he went straight out the door, giving Huo Shen no chance to plead for him.
Half an hour after the eldest brother Xie Wenzhou returned to his room, a deafening cry rang out in the courtyard of the Xie family members at the Huo family's old residence.
Half an hour later, Huo Shen couldn't take it anymore and barged into the courtyard despite the servants' attempts to stop him.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xie Junfei burying her head in Xie Wenzhou's arms and crying loudly.
Xie Wenzhou, with a stern face, patted his younger sister's back as she hiccuped and cried, looking very intimidating.
Xie Junfei's face was in Xie Wenzhou's blind spot, so he couldn't see it, but Huo Shen could see it clearly.
The little fox nestled in her older brother's arms was all bark and no bite; the few tears she shed were secretly wiped on her older brother's well-tailored suit shirt, so she didn't suffer any loss at all.
The maid inside the house whispered to her young master:
"Young Master Xie came in aggressively just now, and as soon as he picked up the paddle and hit the young mistress twice, she started crying."
"When the person started crying, Xie Shao couldn't continue hitting him. He quickly threw away the family rules and promised never to lay a hand on him again."
Having witnessed Xie Junfei's power of crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide before:
"........."
Seeing that Xie Junfei was getting so bored that he started playing with the sparkly lapel pin on his older brother's collar, Huo Shen quickly stepped forward and rescued his wife from his brother-in-law's arms.
Xie Wenzhou watched the two of them getting along so well, and without making a sound, he exhaled a breath through his nose, his tone unconsciously tinged with a hint of sourness:
"Looks like I'm the bad guy in this family. It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home."
Upon hearing this, Xie Junfei immediately sprang out of Huo Shen's arms, grabbed Xie Wenzhou's arm, and smiled obsequiously.
"How could that be? How could my brother be a bad person?"
"My brother is so good to me and he can't bear to punish me. I want to be his little cotton-padded jacket for life."
After saying that, she subtly hooked the buttocks that had fallen to the ground with her foot and, thinking she had done it discreetly, kicked it under the sofa.
Xie Wenzhou took in her little actions, and was amused and annoyed. He pinched her pert little nose and shook it:
"Alright, everyone knows what you're thinking."
"I'll forgive you this time, but if you dare to do it again next time, I'll really be angry."
"I've had enough fun before the New Year. Once I get back to Beijing after the holiday, I'll definitely study hard."
Seeing that his elder brother was about to easily dismiss the matter, Xie Junfei immediately nodded vigorously.
"Of course, of course, I will definitely study hard when I get back."
"My older brother is so capable, I can't let my family down."
Xie Wenzhou knew that Xie Junfei always kept her word, so he was relieved to hear this. He gently wiped away her tears with a warm, damp towel. Seeing that it was getting late, he decided to let the young couple stay in the house for dinner.
The Xie family is different from the Huo family; their relationship is built on shared joys and sorrows, and the siblings can talk about almost anything.
At the dinner table, Xie Wenzhou asked about Xie Ze and Xie Junfei's academic performance. After looking at their report cards, he finally felt relieved.
He and his brothers grew up in an orphanage, and as the eldest son, he bore far more responsibility than his brothers.
Even his younger brothers' studies were tutored by him after get off work.
He's been busy starting his own business lately, so he hasn't paid much attention to his younger brother and sister's studies. Fortunately, the kids are doing well academically.
The thought of raising these two academically gifted "grateful children" made Xie Wenzhou's expression soften considerably, and he kept putting food into Xie Junfei's bowl.
Xie Junfei could understand her older brother's feelings very well.
Unlike the Huo family, for ordinary families like theirs, education is the only visible way to improve their lives.
Even after she left the Qin family, it was only because of her good grades that she was able to win a scholarship from Huo Shen, which gave her the opportunity to get in touch with Huo Shen.
Therefore, even if he regains the Qin family's assets and has Huo Shen backing him up, he will not give up his studies.
After finishing their meal, Xie Junfei went to listen to her second and third brothers hear her fifth brother, Xie Yun, tell her stories about his time on the film set, leaving Xie Wenzhou and Huo Shen alone together.
This was the first time Xie Wenzhou had the time and opportunity to take a good look at his son-in-law, whom he found rather unpleasant to look at.
From a man's perspective, Huo Shen is indeed a very good son-in-law.
The man in front of her was handsome and aloof. When he wasn't smiling, his demeanor was cold and domineering. It was obvious at a glance that he was a young master from a noble family who held a high position and lived a life of luxury.
There are quite a few men like that in their circle, but those who are clean-living and have no scandals can be counted on one hand.
Huo Shen happened to be one of those "hands".
(However, another finger is also in their house, but it's crooked, and they're always trying to get their younger brother into bed.)
Moreover, she comes from a happy and harmonious family. Her mother-in-law, Mrs. Huo, adores her younger sister and even extends that affection to her older brothers, providing them with much support in both their careers and lives.
From this perspective, aside from his age, Huo Shen is indeed a very good marriage prospect.
However... Xie Wenzhou glanced at his sweet and soft little sister with some annoyance.
That's true rationally, but emotionally he was really, really, really unwilling!
If Xie Junfei could hear his older brother's frantic inner thoughts at this moment, he would definitely comfort him:
Don't worry, that's how Alphas are—they repel each other. It's a normal physiological reaction, haha. There's no other solution; you just have to get used to it.
