After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 719

Chapter 719: The Frank Third Brother
With a crisp sound, the table cracked open.

Mu Xuan, well-prepared, swiftly carried Zhouzhou away.

Lu Qing, covering his eyes, with incredibly sharp ears, also dodged quickly.

As for Zheng Yu, although he specialized in gathering information, being a member of the Dragon group, his skills were not as outstanding as Ye Lingfeng and the others, but he was still competent and remained unharmed.

Only Xie Ziyue, called out by Zhouzhou, stood still in place, stunned, with a clang, trembling uncontrollably.

He looked at Zhouzhou’s fiery eyes, completely unaware of what he had said wrong.

Bewildered, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

Zhouzhou looked at him, word by word, saying, “That ugly thing you mentioned, I’m the one who drew it.”

Xie Ziyue: “……”

Turning his head to Zheng Yu, seeing him nod, his expression twisted instantly.

He had actually lied to him!

Zheng Yu blinked at him, helpless, for he was so foolish.

As Zhouzhou’s senior brother, he couldn’t even recognize that it was Zhouzhou’s drawing. Shouldn’t he reflect on himself?

Unfortunately, Zhouzhou only started learning to draw after coming down from the mountain, and Xie Ziyue had never seen it before.

Thinking about what he had just said, Xie Ziyue’s face twitched in embarrassment as he awkwardly said, “Zhouzhou, I, if I were to say that what I just said was all insincere, and actually, I was praising you, would you believe me?”

Zhouzhou looked at him expressionlessly.

She might be young, but she wasn’t stupid.

She was not incapable of understanding human speech!

Fourth senior brother not only criticized her drawing but also said she would go bankrupt.

At that moment, Zhouzhou was infuriated and swung her small fists towards him.

Startled, Xie Ziyue knew well the power of those small fists. He didn’t dare to confront her head-on and fled.

Zhouzhou, with her short legs, chased after him.

Xie Ziyue wailed, “Zhouzhou, I really know I was wrong, please don’t hit me.”

“Help!”

However, the people around, seeing a child chasing after him, didn’t think he would be in any danger at all. They thought he was just playing with the child.

Mu Xuan and Lu Qing watched this scene with a mix of amusement and frustration.

What a mess.

These two really were an odd pair of friends.

When they were on the mountain, Xie Ziyue always provoked Zhouzhou.

If he angered Zhouzhou, who wanted to hit him, and he couldn’t win, she would chase him all over the mountain.

His kung fu wasn’t the best, but his running skills were definitely top-notch among their senior brothers.

Otherwise, Zhouzhou would have caught up to him by now and sent him off to reincarnate.

Finally, Qin Lie came out of the car, grabbed the chubby little girl, and brought the chase to a halt.

Bent over, gasping for breath, Xie Ziyue couldn’t say a word.

But his eyes had already sent a thousand-word apology to Zhouzhou.

He really didn’t mean it, he didn’t know…

However, Zhouzhou turned her head away, pouted, and refused to accept it!

“What’s wrong?” Qin Lie asked, patting Zhouzhou’s head.

Seeing him, Zhouzhou immediately complained, “Dad, fourth senior brother wants to hit me and said my drawings are ugly and will make me bankrupt!”

Hearing this, Qin Lie’s expression turned cold, and his gaze shot straight towards Xie Ziyue.

Startled, Xie Ziyue stepped back, looking at him with even more caution than when facing Zhouzhou just now.

After all, little junior sister would only beat him up, but the look in this man’s eyes was as if he wanted to throw him to the sharks in the sea.

“No, it’s a misunderstanding!” he hurriedly explained, “I really didn’t know that was your drawing.”

If he had known earlier, he would have praised her to the skies.

Unfortunately, he had no blood relationship with Zhouzhou, and he couldn’t enjoy the same treatment as Ye Lingfeng, who could say cheeky words but still be loved by Zhouzhou.

He felt like crying but had no tears.

Qin Lie withdrew his gaze, probably already guessing what had happened, and soothingly stroked Zhouzhou’s hair.

“Good girl, still want to play?”

Zhouzhou shook her head, her small head resting on his shoulder, somewhat disheartened. “No more.”

She thought she could have a good fight, even if it was just on the computer.

But she didn’t expect it to be fourth senior brother who came.

Not fun at all.

She didn’t even have the interest to fight him anymore.

Realizing this, Xie Ziyue panicked instantly.

He quickly leaned over and said, “Zhouzhou, I’ll go too. I’m a loyal player of your game. I have many suggestions. If you listen to me, you’ll definitely get rich.”

“Not listening.” Zhouzhou turned her small head, showing him only the back of her head.

Xie Ziyue’s heart sank instantly, and his head drooped.

Qin Lie glanced at him, “Come along.”

Xie Ziyue’s face lit up with joy.

Zhouzhou also looked puzzled, “Dad?”

Qin Lie pinched her small face and said, “Zhouzhou, if you really want to expand your business, you have to be open to customer feedback, whether it’s positive or negative.”

“Sometimes, negative feedback is more important than positive feedback.”

Is that so?

Zhouzhou blinked, thought for a moment, and compromised, “Okay.”

After all, she was her daddy’s girl.

Dad was the richest man and the best businessman. What he said must be right.

“Then fourth senior brother, you can come too.”

“Alright!” Xie Ziyue exclaimed in joy and hurriedly got into the car.

In his mind, he was also quickly organizing how to speak so as not to be beaten up by little junior sister.

Seeing this, Mu Xuan and Lu Qing exchanged glances, quickly following along.

A new round of competition for Zhouzhou’s favor had begun.

Soon, Qin Lie brought everyone back to the Qin family residence.

When Qin Grandma saw Xie Ziyue, she asked curiously, “And this is…?”

Zhouzhou pouted, reluctantly introducing him, “Grandma, this is my fourth senior brother.”

Xie Ziyue wore a bright smile, putting on an innocent act as he greeted, “Hello, Grandma, I’m Zhouzhou’s senior brother. Thank you so much for taking care of her.”

He had been reflecting just now, realizing the reason people thought he didn’t get along with Zhouzhou was that he was too blunt.

He wasn’t as good at pretending as the other two.

But he had made up his mind–starting today, he would master the art of acting!

With his good looks and a gaze that carried an air of naive innocence, coupled with his polite demeanor, he naturally won people over.

Qin Grandma smiled kindly at him. “So you’re also Zhouzhou’s senior brother. Come in, come in. Have you eaten yet? Would you like something to eat?”

“Yes, thank you, Grandma,” Xie Ziyue replied sweetly, flashing her a brilliant smile.

Watching him, Zhouzhou couldn’t help but shudder, goosebumps rising all over.

Why did her Fourth Senior Brother’s smile seem so creepy?

Mu Xuan and Lu Qing also exchanged wary glances, their brows furrowing slightly.

Uh-oh, this guy had wised up!

No way–they couldn’t let him win Zhouzhou’s affection!

Fortunately, Zhouzhou had prejudices against Xie Ziyue from the start. Seeing him like this now, her attitude towards him hadn’t changed in the slightest.

She sat down on the sofa, turning into a little tattletale, clinging to Grandpa’s arm and repeating what Xie Ziyue had just said.

Hearing him say her drawings were bad, Qin Dong suddenly raised his head and said, “He’s right.”

He looked at Zhouzhou seriously and said, “Zhouzhou, your drawings are indeed very ugly.”

Zhouzhou: “?”

Did third brother also want to lose her?
