Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 589 - 237: Changsun Mei! Wei Jiunuan! (Request for subscription)_3

"Mmm..."

Little Ximo pretended not to hear, burying her head on Yuchi's shoulder. Initially a bit timid, now with her third uncle, she felt a great sense of security. The little girl didn't move but understood everything; she knew who genuinely cared for her and who was dispensable.

Smiling, Yuchi sat down, glancing at his second brother and sister-in-law, perceiving the dynamics between them and little Ximo, and suddenly understanding everything.

"Second brother doesn't seem too keen on taking care of little Ximo, and as for the second sister-in-law, she also seems afraid of me, thus not daring to get too close to little Ximo either."

Once he comprehended the situation, Yuchi proactively said to Wei Lihua in front of him, "Second sister-in-law, second brother, let's have our meal first."

"Alright... let's eat, let's eat."

This meal was nothing if not full of surface harmony and hidden discord.

On the surface, the family sat there chatting occasionally, but in truth, every person had different thoughts.

Father Wei Xubing naturally had pleasant thoughts, smiling as he watched his third son, the more he looked, the more he liked, contemplating when he might be able to hold a grandchild.

Elder brother Wei Zhe was thinking about Xiangxiang. To be honest, if not for Wei Fei and Wei Lihua being there, he would be chatting with Xiangxiang and feasting on fresh seafood right now.

Second brother Wei Fei felt a bit awkward. It had been some time since he last saw his third brother and learned from the authorities of his brother's formidable nature, which subtly caused a slight estrangement. While they were family and wouldn't care about such trivial matters, truth be told, as his third brother grew stronger, he, as the second brother, was somewhat at a disadvantage.

Second sister-in-law Wei Lihua was even more of a textbook case; she was a typical official's family member. While no issues arose in the official circles, within the Wei Family, especially in Yuchi's presence, she couldn't afford to let loose. It was essential to recognize that whether it was the Wei Family or the trade syndicate behind them, everything was managed by the young man before her. Though Yuchi spoke with smiles all along, she understood the fundamental reasoning.

When others smile while speaking with her, it's because they are willing to do so, and if she acted arrogantly, it would not bode well for her.

Yuchi himself was indifferent to such things, focusing on taking care of little Ximo by stuffing her mouth with chicken legs. The little girl with her baby fat cheeks seemed to hide little buns and was utterly adorable.

Finally, after the meal wrapped up.

Yuchi was standing alongside his second brother Wei Fei in the courtyard. Noticing Wei Fei's obvious nervousness, Yuchi smiled and said, "Second brother, it has been a long time since I saw you; how have you been feeling at the office recently?"

"Not bad, with the syndicate backing us, no significant issues have arisen at the office. I will ensure to perform well in the office so that in the future, the syndicate will have help from within the government."

Upon saying this, Wei Fei found it unconvincing even to himself. Did the syndicate still need Xufu Town's government backing? Not anymore. Now it's about the syndicate respecting the government of Xufu Town, without seeking to replace them, akin to the relationship of the Twelve Linked Huts; the syndicate could replace, but there is no need.

So, if Wei Fei truly claimed that the syndicate reaped benefits from him, it would genuinely require quite a bit of time.

"Haha, it doesn't matter. The fact that you can come over with second sister-in-law to see me is already very touching for me. After all, we are a family at the core." Yuchi laughed and said.

Wei Fei's heart tightened instantly, some remorse appearing, as he seriously nodded and said, "Yes, third brother, you are right. No matter what, we are family after all."

There is nothing warmer than family.

Some conflicts are normal, but truly for a family to fracture would be genuinely disheartening.

Nodding: "Second sister-in-law is a good person."

Wei Fei: "…I also think so."

Seriously, why does it feel a bit weird, the atmosphere was instantly broken.

...

After Changsun Mei returned to the Zhangsun Family, she took a good shower, though there was still some smell of alcohol, it was clear that Yuchi had no interest whatsoever in such matters. Sighing with downcast eyes, she watched the iceberg floating on the warm water; even a corner of the iceberg looked quite nice.

Yet the other party simply had no interest in such matters, making her feel upset. She had always liked Yuchi, but liking was liking; being on different sides led to a lot of troubles.

"Still envious of Wei Yuan, that girl's luck is truly good. I had wanted to exchange identities with her long ago, but with the passage of time, it all seems even more hopeless now."

"However, in the key moments, Mr. Wei did help me, truly..."

"Truly not worth staying. Insisting on dumping all these burdens on me for me to resolve; how could I possibly solve them? I'm currently indebted to the Wei Family with thirty thousand taels of silver... I didn't think much of thirty thousand taels of silver before, but now that it's before me... I have no idea how long it would take to repay it."
