Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 652 - 654: Academician Xia, Is There a Misunderstanding?

"Uncle, don’t mind her, she’s got a screw loose," Shitou said to Feiteng as they walked away, pointing at his own head.

"Really, you’re close to her?" Feiteng asked.

"Close to her? She’s the one who hangs around me every day with a kid in tow, a complete oddball. And she’s always caked in makeup, playing the fool at school."

Feiteng burst out laughing as Shitou finished speaking.

Just then, Xia Xiao came out, and Jianjian and Kangkang ran over, "Grandma, there was an ugly woman trying to seduce dad just now."

Ugly woman?

Xia Xiao looked at Shitou and Feiteng, and Shitou said, "It’s that Qian Xiaomei."

Assistant Qian used to be called Qian Dimei, but after getting educated, she knew her name wasn’t nice to hear. Mrs. Qian then had a fortune teller rename her daughter to Qian Yuzhu.

Qian Xiaomei didn’t finish primary school and never thought much of her name. She considered changing it when she grew up, but the fortune teller told her it was a good name, and her parents wouldn’t let her change it.

A twitch appeared at the corner of Xia Xiao’s mouth. Qian Xiaomei, in fact, Qian Xiaomei didn’t usually do anything too outrageous. She just hung around outside the research lab every day holding Dr. Xi and Assistant Qian’s daughter, cheerfully greeting anyone she met, especially effusive when talking to men, batting her eyes and speaking in a coquettish voice.

Though Xia Xiao found Qian Xiaomei quite bizarre and didn’t like such people, Qian Xiaomei’s way of interacting was indeed popular among men. Everyone liked her, and some even suggested she attend night school.

Now, Assistant Qian truly regretted it. Initially, when Qian Xiaomei came over, Assistant Qian portrayed her as pitiful to gain everyone’s sympathy.

But now, with Qian Xiaomei’s low education level, it was tough for her to find a match in the university, not fitting in high or low standards. Moreover, setting her sights high and always comparing men to Dr. Xi, she found it hard to regard anyone else favorably.

After Xia Xiao, Feiteng, Shitou, Jianjian, and Kangkang left the school, Qian Xiaomei was holding Xi Beilei looking for Assistant Qian.

As Assistant Qian and Dr. Xi appeared, they saw an anxious waiting Qian Xiaomei, who immediately asked, "What’s up?"

"Big sister," Qian Xiaomei rushed over holding Xi Beilei.

Assistant Qian took the child into her arms and said, "Let’s talk back home."

Dr. Xi had already left, Qian Xiaomei quickly said, "Big sister, I saw my dream lover today, I must marry him. Please help me."

"Who, your dream lover?" asked Assistant Qian.

"It’s President Gao of the Gaoxia Group, the son of Academician Xia, Gao Peize’s uncle. I saw him today, he’s really handsome, so dashing, such a man..."

Qian Xiaomei let out a string of exclamations, her hands cupping her chin, utterly moonstruck.

"Academician Xia’s son is already married," Assistant Qian said. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Why does that matter?" Qian Xiaomei asked nonchalantly, "Big sister, aren’t you just..."

Assistant Qian immediately stopped and glared at Qian Xiaomei with a dark expression on her face.

Qian Xiaomei stuck out her tongue, "Big sister, I didn’t do it on purpose, but I want to learn from you. You’re so successful, and if you teach me, I’m sure I can make it too. Plus, if I became the wife of the president of the Gaoxia Group, it would benefit you as well, wouldn’t it? I certainly wouldn’t forget our parents and siblings."

Assistant Qian held her daughter and pondered. She naturally hoped that her younger sister would marry well. The siblings in the family had very average partners, and now only the little sister was single but also quite attractive, and makeup added even more to her beauty.

Moreover, this sister had a thick skin, sweet mouth, and was good at coaxing people, telling people what they wanted to hear and ghosts, what they wanted to hear; Assistant Qian was considering this when Qian Xiaomei said, "Big sister, Academician Xia’s family background must be strong. Gao Peize is Academician Xia’s grandson and a genius. His future is surely bright. However, Gao Peize seems to like Shanyue. I think our Leilei is more suitable for Gao Peize. Didn’t you say that men over six or seven years older tend to be caring and protective?"

Assistant Qian had never really thought about this, but felt that her sister’s suggestion was not bad. Shitou was smart and wise, which Assistant Qian knew well, even Dr. Xi respected Shitou for this. Thinking of Shitou becoming her son-in-law, Assistant Qian was very pleased.

As for Xiao Shan Yue, Yu Jialin, and Jianjian and Kangkang, they had been completely overlooked by the sisters.

After the sisters reached a consensus, Assistant Qian began inquiring about the Gao family privately. When Professor Yang heard of this, he spoke to Xia Xiao, "What is Mrs. Xi up to, inquiring about your family affairs?"

Xia Xiao was taken aback and then smirked, "What did she ask about?"

"She was asking about your family, and also about your youngest son and daughter-in-law," Professor Yang said, "Doesn’t she have a sister without a partner? She might have her eyes on your family, but since your son is already married with children, they shouldn’t even think about it."

Xia Xiao then mentioned the incident with Feiteng that had happened that day. Professor Yang was surprised and then frowned, "If she knew your youngest son was married with children and still inquired, that clearly shows she’s not giving up."

Professor Yang frowned at this and felt an aversion towards the matter.

Xia Xiao said, "You don’t need to worry about it, they won’t affect us."

Xia Xiao truly didn’t regard the Qian sisters highly. Naturally, she was focused on the matters of her laboratory, but as for the private affairs of the Xi Family outside the laboratory, Xia Xiao kept out of it.

As for Qian Xiaomei having an eye on Feiteng, Xia Xiao didn’t think her son would be attracted to Qian Xiaomei, who just seemed tacky and garishly vulgar.

With heavy makeup daily, looking like stage makeup, her skin yellow and face white, the difference in skin tone on her neck and arms clearly visible, her lips painted a glaring red, wearing large earrings, holding a child, and walking in ten-centimeter-high heels that jingled at the ankles.

Attempting to dress like a modern woman, yet she entirely missed the mark, giving a discordant and strange impression.

Xia Xiao also noticed Xiaozi fashion on Qian Xiaomei, which was actually nice, but Xia Xiao felt beauty and makeup were the first things Qian Xiaomei needed to learn, or else even Xiaozi fashion was worn in a vulgar way.

Xia Xiao hadn’t discussed this with Feiteng, but she didn’t expect Qian Xiaomei would boldly go to Gaoxia Group to look for Feiteng. Although she didn’t meet Feiteng, when Xia Xiao heard what the secretary said, that Qian Xiaomei had even brought her up, Xia Xiao was speechless.

After hanging up the secretary’s phone, Xia Xiao, in front of Dr. Xi, addressed Assistant Qian, "I just received a call from the secretary. Your little sister was using my name to meet my son at Gaoxia Group. I want to know what’s going on?"

Dr. Xi looked at Xia Xiao and said, "Academician Xia, could there be a misunderstanding? The little sister is taking care of Leilei right now."
