HPDBC Chapter 719 The Frank Third Brother
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.
"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?
