So, with some difficulty, he corrected himself, saying, “Heh heh, yes, I was kidding.”
He imed to jest, but his icy demeanor remained terrifying.
Xie Jinfei didn’t dare to say a word. He backed off instinctively, hiding half his body behind his older brother.
Xie Yunlin:
Little brother, is being so timid really okay?
If I leave Grandma’spany in your hands, it won’tst a few days, will it?
Ye Xingbei looked at Ye Xinn, then at Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei, her head aching with thought.
Two older brothers and second brothers… What should I address them in the future?
She suddenly realized that having more brothers, while a blessing, can also bring troubles.
Seeing Ye Xingbei’s troubled expression, Ye Xinn suddenly suggested, “From now on, let’s address each other by age.”
He asked Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei, “How old are you guys?”
Just like Xie Jinfei, he too had been caught up in the heat of the moment and had argued with Xie Jinfei a few sentences.
But it quickly dawned on him.
Why was he arguing with Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei about who was closer to Ye Xingbei?
Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei were also his cousins.
Although his second cousin seemed rather immature and more like his younger cousin.
But the fact was, Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei were older than him.
In the future, once all truths are known, and their father agrees, he and these two cousins would acknowledge each other.
As per the ancestral rules, siblings in the same family are ranked by age.
If their father hadn’t been forced to wander, Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei would be the eldest and the second eldest of the Jiang family.
He and his brother would be the third and fourth of the Jiang family.
Now, everything was just returning to normal. There was nothing to fight about.
Xie Yunlin made some calctions about their ages and felt that he and his brother were getting the better deal, so he readily agreed to this proposal.
As everyone stated their ages, Xie Yunlin came out to be the eldest, Xie Jinfei was the second, Ye Xinn was the third, and Ye Xingli was the fourth.
Ye Xinn looked at Ye Xingbei and said, “So from now on, the two Master Xies will be your oldest and second brothers, and you also need to call me and Xiao Li third brother and fourth brother.”
His words frightened Ye Xingbei.
She agreed with everything Ye Xinn said and quickly nodded, “I understand, third… third brother!”
She was still unustomed to it when she suddenly corrected herself.
However, habits can slowly change.
Given some time, she will get used to it.
From now on, she would be someone with four brothers!
That’s such a joy!
It seemed like her life became more and more fulfilling and happier ever since she met Gu Junzhu.
Could it be that Gu Junzhu was her lucky charm?
Did her fortune improve as long as she was with Gu Junzhu?
She tilted her head to nce at Gu Junzhu, her eyes shimmering with delight.
However, Gu Junzhu was looking at Ye Xinn, his dark eyes gleaming with deep contemtion.
Ye Xinn’s reaction… wasn’t normal.
Since Ye Xinn was Ye Xingbei’s elder brother, he couldn’t escape his investigation.
ording to the information he had gathered, based on Ye Xinn’s personality, he wasn’t the type to back down easily.
But he gave in so easily this time.
He even agreed to address Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei as elder brother and second brother, despite not having any prior connection with them.
Ye Xinn had a lot of pride.
Perhaps he might be willing to call Xie Yunlin ‘elder brother’ considering his same level abilities and the fact that he was older.
But Xie Jinfei was an idiot.
With a protective older brother and a grandma who pampered him excessively, his rebellious phase persisted longer and hadn’t passed even till now.
Ye Xinn was actually willing to call Xie Jinfei, who was as naive as his little brother, ‘second brother’. That really deserved some deep thought..
