Chapter 1663: Now Look at This: I've Just Made a Wedding Gown for Old Xiao

~4 min read 726 words

The old man waved his hand with a spring-like air of triumph, saying, "Yiqiu, get in the car. Today, let those old fellows know what true low-key means."

Hearing this, Xiao Fu's lips curled slightly upward: how could his own heart remain calm?

Not only the old man, but even he had been chatting with colleagues every few days about his daughter getting into university, though he hadn't been quite so obvious about it.

Xiao Fu glanced at Dujuan: "You go in first; I'll head to work."

In truth, his thoughts matched the old man's; he just wanted to get to the unit quickly and start a new round of showing off.

Now that his niece had also passed, there was a fresh topic to discuss.

When the old man and his party arrived at the restaurant, they happened to run into Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xu, who was treating; after exchanging pleasantries, the two entered the restaurant together.

After Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xiao went inside, he asked, "Did you book the entire place?"

Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xu replied, "Our family has finally produced someone good at studying; surely I'm allowed to be happy about it."

There we go; Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xiao rolled his eyes at him: "Be happy if you like; no one's stopping you."

Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xu wore an expression of smugness: "I'm in a very good mood right now, so I won't get angry with you. By the way, you really should have brought your younger generation over to meet us."

Just as Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xiao was about to speak, someone behind him said, "Uncle Xu, Uncle Xiao, what are you two chatting about?"

Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xu spoke first: "We were just talking about my grandson who's good at studying; your Uncle Xiao is just envious, that's all."

Wen Yanshan, who had spoken, replied to that: "Uncle Xiao, your two granddaughters also got into university; why be envious of your grandson?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xu became displeased: "My grandson got into the University of Science and Technology. Which school did your family's child get into? Say it so everyone can share in your joy. Look at me; I didn't try to hide anything."

Hearing Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xu's words, Wen Yanshan's mouth twitched: "Uncle Xu, allow your nephew to remind you that one shouldn't speak too boastfully."

Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xu waved his hand dismissively: "Boastful or not, what does it matter? As long as I'm happy."

Wen Yanshan scratched his head: "Uncle Xu, the granddaughters in Uncle Xiao's family also did very well on their exams."

Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xu grew unhappy: "Wen family boy, are you never going to stop?"

With that, he turned directly to Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xiao: "Which school did your granddaughter actually get into? What's wrong, afraid to say it in front of everyone?"

Wen Yanshan immediately covered his face: "Oh, Uncle Xu, if people don't pull your leg, you go and pull it yourself."

They heard Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xiao say calmly and unhurriedly, "Which granddaughter are you asking about?"

"What? From the sound of it, you have more than one university student at home. You really are..."

The two words 'dare to brag' had not yet left his mouth when Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xiao said, "My second son's eldest daughter got into BJ Normal University. For a girl, becoming a teacher is quite good; in the future, she'll educate and nurture students, with peach and plum trees all over the world. How fulfilling that would be, don't you agree?"

Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xu didn't directly say she hadn't done as well as his grandson; instead, Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xiao continued, "Her younger sister did even better on her exams..."

He paused briefly at that point, scanned the restaurant once, and then slowly said, "She got into the Political Science and Law Department of Peking University."

As his words fell, the restaurant instantly erupted: "Old Xiao, not bad at all; your two granddaughters are truly promising."

"Political Science and Law Department; that truly means an unlimited future and much to look forward to."

Hearing everyone praise the Xiao family's granddaughters, Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xu wished he could slap himself, thinking to himself: "Really, why did I bother competing with Old Xiao? Now look, I've just made a wedding gown for him."
