Chapter 558: Chapter 558

Xie Xuanchen listened to the ‘Second Brother’ that came out of his mouth and really didn’t have any good feelings towards this cousin that appeared out of the blue. Xie Xuanchen narrowed his eyes slightly before turning to Xie Yi, “I’m used to attending classes alone over the years. If there is another person added, the teacher will be distracted and delay my study progress. I don’t want him to come. I am fine alone so I don’t need a companion.”

Xie Yi’s face immediately sank when he heard it, “Nonsense!” After that, he looked at his brother’s family with guilt in his eyes, “Xie Xuanchen lacks discipline and speaks without restraint, but worry not— I will deal with him in a while. Second Brother and Xuanji should not bother with him.”

Xie Rui refuted of course. They were now trying to ally themselves to Xie Yi, so how could they dare mess with his son? Xie Rui said, “Eldest Brother, you’re making me embarrassed if you do that. We came here without permission and bothered him whereas the Second Young Master had always been taught alone. Granted, he won’t get used to having someone else study with him so suddenly. Second Brother, you don’t have to make the Second Young Master go through any trouble. Our Xuanji can just have his lessons outside of the manor.”

“How can this be possible?” Xie Yi rejected it, saying, “How can we let Xuanji go to a private school outside? Wouldn’t that be a waste of time?”

Xie Rui hesitated to speak. In fact, when in Lin An, Xie Xuanji and all the other children were studying in private schools. Being able to afford to study was already a sign of hailing from a respectable family, so how could they even think about inviting a teacher to teach at home? However, in Xie Yi’s view, the level of teachers in private schools outside was uneven and the classrooms were mixed, so it was impossible to study well for certain. Ever since Xie Xuanchen awakened his potential, Xie Yi had specially invited famous and knowledgeable teachers to come to the house to tutor his child.

After Xie Yi finished speaking, he glared at Xie Xuanchen, “Look at the mess you have caused, you unfilial son, why don’t you apologise to your uncle and Xuanji?”

A few days ago, Madam Yin asked Xie Xuanchen to apologise to Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen did it without saying a word, but today, it was a different person so he was going to forget it. Xie Xuanchen ignored the order and Xie Yi’s furious eyes, before he said slowly, “It’s okay for me to accept him, but I want her to come too.”

Mu Mingtang didn’t expect the topic to suddenly turn to herself. She looked at Xie Xuanchen’s hand pointing at her and asked in surprise, “Me?”

Xie Xuanchen’s attitude was obvious. He added, “Since you want to add someone, treat them equally— why are you favouring him alone?”

Mu Mingtang was shocked by Xie Xuanchen’s logic. She immediately countered, “How could this be the same? I am an outsider and not a member of the Xie residence…”

Before Mu Mingtang finished speaking, she suddenly felt her hand being pinched. She hissed in pain and naturally couldn’t say anything else. Xie Xuanchen looked at her unhappily and said, “What do you mean by insider or outsider?”@@novelbin@@

“Xie Xuanchen,” This time it was Madam Yin who spoke. She said with a gloomy face, “Don’t be rude.”

Times like this, it wasn’t appropriate to call someone an ‘insider’.
