CHAPTER 613: CHAPTER 611: THE WORN-OUT SHOES

"Bro, why didn’t mom and dad come with you?" Xiao Qing made room for him, planning to let Xiao Anze sit next to her, but unexpectedly, Lu Jinyang suddenly stood up, pointed to the seat he had just occupied, and said, "You sit there."

Before Xiao Qing could ask why, she saw Lu Jinyang sit down in the spot she’d just vacated—more precisely, between her and Xiao Anze.

This was a three-person sofa, with the two little treasures sitting on the carpet playing with the toys they’d brought, so the three of them sitting together was just right.

Xiao Qing found Lu Jinyang’s behavior quite speechless.

She shot him a silent glance, but he acted as if he hadn’t seen it.

Xiao Anze didn’t seem to think much of it either.

He smiled, "Mom and dad said they’re going back to Empire to clarify the past events with Uncle Lu, they said there’s no need to wait for them for this family gathering."

Xiao Qing nodded, indicating she already knew. She looked at Xiao Anze, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brother, about Actress Yang Qiao, she..."

She didn’t want to be nosy, but seeing the two of them acting like strangers to each other truly made her uneasy.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Anze looked at Xiao Qing: "What’s wrong with her?"

"She... is over there."

Xiao Qing nodded toward Yang Qiao’s direction, but saw Xiao Anze bow his head, with no intention of looking that way.

"Bro~"

"I’ll handle my own matters. Once you sort out your own affairs, return to Empire. Don’t stay here."

Xiao Qing was silent.

The hitherto silent Lu Jinyang then said, "Okay."

Xiao Anze glanced sideways, "Lu Jinyang, the issues between us are not over yet. Don’t think I’ll go easy on you because of my two nephews!"

"Good, I wasn’t planning to let it go either.

Xiao Qing: "..."

On the other side, Xiao Enli walked towards Yang Qiao, leading her to his usual sitting area.

Xiao Sewei saw them coming, her lips lifting into a slight smirk, "I was wondering why you never brought a woman home, turns out it’s because you like damaged goods. If I’d known earlier, I’d definitely have introduced..."

She didn’t finish her sentence because Xiao Enli was staring at her with a murderous look, forcing her to shut up.

However, Yang Qiao suddenly spoke up, "Enli, you shouldn’t act this way, she’s your sister."

Xiao Sewei didn’t know what Yang Qiao was plotting, but she really disliked others interfering in her family affairs.

"Sister?" Xiao Enli scoffed, looking at Xiao Sewei, "Yes, she is my sister, a good sister at that!"

Xiao Enli’s gaze was far from friendly, so Xiao Sewei didn’t reply and simply started playing with her phone.

A little while later, Xiao Enli suddenly raised his voice, loud enough for everyone present to hear, "Sewei, I heard you recently signed an out-of-fame Actress. Why haven’t I seen her in any films? You wouldn’t have signed her just to shelve her, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sewei’s gaze turned displeased, "I did sign her, but since when do you care about my business? What makes you interested all of a sudden?"

"Can’t say I’m concerned, just curious. You’re sitting on money and not earning it, supporting someone for nothing... doesn’t seem like your style."

Hearing this, Xiao Qing and Lu Jinyang exchanged an imperceptible glance, surprise evident in their eyes, and recognition in their shared gaze.

Without a word, their lips moved, and they simultaneously uttered two words: Tan Biyang.

So it was Xiao Sewei who had signed the contract with Tan Biyang!

"Xiao Enli! You should know, I don’t like others meddling in my business?"
