However, Dad only quoted that saying to teach you a principle. He never said that the little friend in your class was a bad person. After all, you are all still young and learning. Maybe when that little friend grows up a bit, they’ll realize that some of what they’re doing now is wrong and change their behavior."
"Hmm, I (Tangyuan, Guoguo) understand!"
The three little buns nodded earnestly, their little heads bobbing up and down.
Luo Yanqing’s cool voice held a hint of laughter as he asked, "So, do you still want to go to kindergarten?"
Xu Dan overheard the conversation at the top of the stairs. Seeing the old man at home being left speechless by Xi Chenyu, she quickly intervened to smooth things over: "Little Yu, Grandpa is just giving you advice he thinks is good."
"I don’t think it’s good advice."
Glancing at Xu Dan, Xi Chenyu said, "If you adults don’t handle this, and Gao Xinyue troubles Little Sister Guoguo again, I’ll teach her a lesson!"
The delicate-featured little boy had a cold expression: "Because our families live in the same compound, and because of the relationship between Grandpa and Grandfather Gao, I’ve always held back from doing anything to Gao Xinyue. But ever since she transferred to our kindergarten, I’ve found her more annoying than before."
Elder Xi and Xu Dan were stunned.
"Why does she say I’m hers? My surname is Xi, hers is Gao. I’m my parents’ child, a member of the Xi family, and I have no relation to the Gao family whatsoever."
With that said, Xi Chenyu straightened his little back and, with a cold face, marched upstairs.
When the footsteps on the stairs faded away, Xu Dan came back to her senses, sat down on the sofa opposite Elder Xi, and suggested, "Dad... should I visit the Gao family?"
"No need, I’ll talk to your Uncle Gao right now." Just because the Gao family spoils their own child doesn’t mean his little grandson has to suffer.
Elder Xi felt a bit ashamed. He realized that he might have cared too much about keeping up appearances. He didn’t want a trivial issue between the younger generation to strain the relationship with the Gao family.
Of course, visiting the Gao family was not about severing ties. It was about expressing his stance and attitude regarding what his grandson had mentioned. How the Gao family chose to respond would be up to them.
However, if the Gao family didn’t take him seriously, then whatever trouble their little girl might encounter at kindergarten would be of their own making.
Thinking this, Elder Xi stood up. "Is your mother asleep?"
Xu Dan replied, "She just took her medicine and lay down." Old Lady Xi was not in good health and needed to rest and take medicine for years. Although the family hired a professional caregiver, Xu Dan, as the youngest daughter-in-law, would personally take care of her mother-in-law whenever she was at home.
It wasn’t a show for the family, nor was it to compete with her sisters-in-law. It was simply because Xu Dan wanted to do it.
"You’re doing a great job."
Elder Xi was very pleased with Xu Dan, his youngest daughter-in-law. His eyes filled with kindness, and a smile appeared on his face. "Take a good rest. Guobang should be back soon. I’ll head to the Gao family and be back in no time."
"Thank you, Dad."
She got up to see Elder Xi out of the living room and then returned to the sofa.
The Gao Family.
"You’ve got something to say to me."
