Xu Yunye walked into the Dean’s office.
Xu Xiuyuan was inside, reviewing documents.
He knocked on the door and entered, saying, “The house is in complete turmoil, and yet you’re immovable as a mountain? Is it absolutely necessary for you to attend this session?”
Xu Yunye looked at Xu Xiuyuan, who had always been self-possessed and steady, groomed to be the family heir from a young age. It was said that Xu Xiuyuan was personally tutored by his eldest uncle as a child, and thus wasn’t spoiled by the Xu Family.
“Photos of Xu Xingluo and Xiang Huai are flying all over the place; dad still wants her to marry Huo Xingzhou. Not just now, but even in the past, Huo Xingzhou never took a fancy to her. If it weren’t for her having saved Huo Xingzhou’s life once, she wouldn’t be jumping around up to now.”
Xu Xiuyuan swiftly signed the documents, not even lifting his head as he said, “I’ve already warned her, and if she wouldn’t listen, she should bear the consequences. The outcome now is the result of her own making.”
Xu Yunye sat opposite him, propping his chin with his hands, and said, “Sometimes I think you really care for Xu Xingluo, yet at other times, you seem quite indifferent. What do you think of this sister of yours?”
Xu Xiuyuan put down his pen and furrowed his brows, saying, “Everyone has their own fate.”
“Tsk, have you turned to Buddhism now?”
Xu Xiuyuan said nothing more; he was just fulfilling the responsibilities of an older brother. But for some reason, ever since they were little, he had never felt close to Xu Xingluo. He thought it was because of the large age gap between them, which prevented them from playing together.
