Lu Wei was stunned when he heard this. “Ah, grew up outside?”

Xue Yao had been waiting for this. She nodded. “Yes, she grew up in an orphanage in the countryside. That’s why she’s more introverted and hard to get along with.”

“I see...” Lu Wei sighed.

Xue Yao had a smug look on her face, but Lu Wei did not play by the rules and caught her off guard. “Then you should let your sister have more. After all, she’s quite pitiful.”

Xue Yao: “?”

Her expression froze and she smiled awkwardly. “Mhm, what you said... makes sense.”

Lu Wei smiled. “Right? One must be magnanimous and tolerant. Since she lived outside when she was young, you guys should give her more love!”

Xue Yao: “...”

The corners of the old lady’s lips twitched.

The old patriarch narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, “Yes. So, Xiao Wei, if you can, can you help them?”

Lu Wei immediately said, “No problem. But how can I help?”

Old Master Xue smiled. “My eldest son is a businessman. Moreover, my eldest granddaughter’s boyfriend’s family is also in business. You must know that it’s easy to be at a disadvantage without anyone taking care of you in the business world. If you can help...”

Lu Wei nodded. “No problem!”

Although the special department did not involve any commercial activities, it did not matter. The God of Fortune Group was part of the special department. When the time came, he would greet Brother Qian Xin and ask him to help take care of Xue Yao’s uncle and so on. Even with this cousin’s boyfriend included, it would not be a problem at all!

Seeing him raise his head and straighten his chest, this matter seemed to be a piece of cake to him. Xue Yao, who had been choking just now, suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.

Hmph!

Ever since Big Uncle separated from them and left with nothing, the Xue family’s hardware company had started to decline. After Big Uncle moved to the capital, the company’s profits had been negative for the past half a year!

Her father was not good at business. In the past half a year, he had often been scolded by her grandfather, who said that if he’d had even one-tenth of Xue Sheng’s abilities, he would not have let the company reach this stage!

Xue Yao did not perform well in the college entrance examination this year and could only go to a local university in Jiangnan Province. She had originally thought that after entering university, she had gotten rid of Xue Xi, but she did not expect that there would be people talking about Xue Xi everywhere.

The people in the dormitory would stay up talking about the legend of the college entrance examination who’d scored full marks, causing her to quarrel with her dormitory mates.

Hmph, at least she’s better than Xue Xi in terms of boyfriends now, right?

Old Master Xue narrowed his eyes.

Back then, he had disappointed his elder son, forcing him to leave.

Initially, he thought that he would not be coming back this year. Unexpectedly, when he called, his son had decided to let bygones be bygones and decided to come back. He had made up his mind to take this opportunity to ease their relationship.

They were all family...

Coincidentally, he could make use of Xue Yao’s boyfriend. At least with such a person around, Xue Sheng would not dare to not give them face.

Just as the old patriarch was thinking this, the housekeeper suddenly walked in. “Old Master, Madam! Mr. Xue is home!”

Old Master Xue immediately said, “Oh? Is my elder son back?”

He stood up and tidied his clothes.

Old Lady Xue snorted and did not stand up. “Does the unfilial son need our entire family to welcome him back? Sit here and see if they’ll give us new year’s greetings!”
