Chapter 1407: Differential Treatment
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Thank you, grandpa!” Xia Xibei smiled sweetly.
She had a good impression of the old man.
No matter what purpose the old man had for being so friendly to her, it was enough as long as he treated her well.
Sometimes, when one’s own strength was not enough, one could not blame others for being cold to oneself.
After all, it was a world where only the strongest survived.
!!
Xia Xibei, after experiencing the second world, was even more convinced of this statement.
Only when you were strong enough could you make others look at you differently.
If you were not good enough, how could you have the nerve to ask others to be kind to you? Not being bullied would be good enough.
“You’re welcome,” the old man smiled. “If there is anything you want, just tell your uncle, he will help you out.”
“Grandpa, I want some too.”
Seeing the old man so happy, Qi Xiangyuan could not help but also ask.
“What do you want?”
The patriarch looked at him and his smile faded a lot.
“I want the iris flower.”
“Iris flower?” The old man frowned. “What do you want it for?”
The iris flower was also a spiritual plant, and the medicine made from it had the effect of keeping one young.
This was a very good gift for girls.
“I…”
Qi Xiangyuan choked on the question.
Could he say that he wanted to give it as a gift?
Seeing the patriarch’s reaction, the old man already understood.
Qi Xiangyuan was more than twenty years old, much older than Xia Xibei, and he should have some maturity.
However, he only thought about picking up girls all day long, and wanted to give those girls all kinds of precious things. He did not put his mind on the right things, so the old man was very disappointed.
“No!” The old man was firm. “You should work hard! Don’t think about all that nonsense!”
The iris flower was such a good thing, so precious! He would just give it away? Was he out of his mind?
Did he think the iris was a weed that could be found everywhere?
Qi Xiangyuan could only shut his mouth sheepishly.
After refusing Qi Xiangyuan’s request, the old man looked at Xia Xibei again with a loving face.
Looking at this scene, Yang Wenyin’s face became even more ugly.
Her own son was reprimanded by the old man like this, while the illegitimate daughter from outside was treated so gently, the difference here really upset her.
“Xibei, right?” She couldn’t help but speak. “By the way, where is your mother?”
The crowd immediately looked at her.
Qi Zhi’an and Ling Xiao’s eyes were tinged with disapproval.
Everyone knew that Xia Xibei’s mother was not with her.
Wasn’t she stepping on people’s toes by bringing it up so rashly?
“Since you’ve returned to the Qi family, it’s time for your mother to come over and take a look.”
Yang Wenyin had a condescending face.
“Oldest daughter-in-law.”
The old man’s face sank.
“I don’t know,” Xia Xibei looked innocent and shrugged. “You should know that my mother and I have never met. After all, she disappeared after she gave birth to me. That’s a question that should be asked of him.”
Her finger pointed to Qi Zhiqiang.
“I’ve never even seen my mom, how do I know where she is? By the way, Dad, what does my mom look like?”
With all the focus on Qi Zhiqiang, he suddenly stiffened.
When did he become the target?
“Um…”
He was a little embarrassed by the various gazes.
“Well….”
He hadn’t seen Ling Juan for many years, so he couldn’t remember what she looked like!
“All right, enough.” The old man interrupted this unpleasant topic with a sullen face. “Let’s eat! Don’t you have business to attend to? After you eat, go do it.”
