Chapter 1328: Chapter 1200: Qi Kejiu

"Liu Yi brother."

Liu Yi nodded at Yi Tangtang, who came up to him, and with a smile, took her little hand and walked inside. "When did you arrive? Have you finished your homework?"

"Of course, I’m..." Yi Tangtang glanced at Qi Kejiu who entered and immediately stopped what she was about to say, winking at Liu Yi, "Shall I go get some tea?"

Liu Yi chuckled and patted her head, pulling her to a seat—he liked Little Tangtang’s cleverness. But there was no need to be evasive.

"Dad, Mom, this is Qi Kejiu, nickname Little Jiu." May 1st finished speaking and pointed to a chair, "Little Jiu, sit down and tell my parents about any grievances you have."

Zhou Jiao, who had been watching her two sons, raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, glanced amusingly at her son, and then looked at Qi Kejiu: Who is this little girl? How come she doesn’t recognize her?

"Minister Zhang..."

Zhang Guoqing smiled at her, "Just call me Uncle Zhang."

"Dad? Little Jiu should call me uncle."

Liu Yi laughed lightly, teasingly looking at May 1st.

"You brat, you want to be an uncle too?" Zhang Guoqing tried to suppress his laughter. "Whose little girl is she? It seems she hasn’t been to our house before, right?"

"Dad, do you know Zheng Tiejun? Little Jiu is fostered at his house. The family is somewhat ungrateful, letting their little girl bully Little Jiu."

Zhang Guoqing heard this and looked thoughtfully at his youngest son, "Did things go south, and a fight happened? Why not take her to the clinic first for some medicine?"

"Godfather, I’ll take the little sister to Grandma Chen for some medicine first."

"Alright, go ahead. Little Jiu, is it? Come back after applying the medicine." Zhang Guoqing didn’t bother to correct Little Tangtang’s title, as this girl loved to act like an adult since she was young.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang."

Watching the two girls leave, Zhang Guoqing sighed, "The orphan issue of martyrs is still very serious. Even under our noses, they’re hurt like this; imagine those children outside..."

"Dad, I finally saw the green tea bitch Mom mentioned today, and the disgusting thing is the Zheng family dares to aim at me."

Zhou Jiao frowned slightly, "They even involved you?"

"Absolutely, Mom. If you hadn’t seen it yourself, I didn’t want to bring this girl home, but seeing her plight resembled yours back then. The Zheng family spends her money and bullies her."

Zhang Guoqing’s face darkened upon hearing this. People dared to act so crazily in the Big Courtyard? "It’s this serious? Tell Dad exactly what happened."

"Here’s the deal, today, my brother and I came back, and those aunties on the vehicle kept chatting with us. So, we purposely took a small path."

May 1st gestured towards Liu Yi, "Brother, give me some tea first; I’m dying of thirst."

Zhou Jiao, amused, stood up and handed her son her cup, "Should I get you some snacks, or perhaps a quick beat? Quickly, or else Dad might scold you."

"Hehe..." May 1st took the tea and eagerly drank a sip, "My brother and I took the small forest path and by chance heard someone mention me.

I got curious, thinking what’s this trouble? We climbed a tree, and honestly, in the whole Big Courtyard, no one can match us three brothers in tree climbing skill."

Zhou Jiao darted an eye at her son, thinking he babbled a lot. From young to old, always chatting—definitely took after his father.

"...I glanced over and, wow... that brat from the Zheng family was indeed like Mom said, wearing a white dress, but not like the ’white lotus.’

Right then, the two girls, that brat got angry after being out-argued and attempted to hit someone. Luckily, Little Jiu was smart and grabbed her hand..."

Zhou Jiao instantly covered her mouth, trying not to laugh. She thought so. It was clear why May 1st disliked anyone wearing a white dress—the root lay here.

However, the more she listened, the clearer she felt she hadn’t wrongly implicated anyone. That Zheng family’s girl really turned out like this. What are these girls learning?

"...Mom, it’s just like that. Whether Zheng Tiejun knows or not, she can’t stay at the Zheng family. I reckon it won’t be long before the Zheng family comes to visit."

Zhou Jiao and Zhang Guoqing exchanged glances and laughed, signaling him to answer.

Come to visit?

Is her door so easy to enter? Without leaving them hanging, they might think her son follows their mischievous ideas? Do they even match her May 1st son?

Indeed, if a tiger doesn’t show its fangs, they assume she’s a sick cat.

"Dad, should we find evidence?"

Zhang Guoqing shook his head, "I’ll handle it, don’t interfere." He had to ensure others didn’t throw dirt on his son, as a girl’s reputation is crucial, and his son’s cannot suffer.

"I’ll go make a call first." Zhang Guoqing said as he looked at her intently, "Later, chat more with that girl."

Seeing this, Zhou Jiao nodded, "Understood, we must help, but it depends on character too."

"Dad, perhaps investigate her past too."

Liu Yi’s words made Zhang Guoqing raise his eyebrows, grinning at his son, and head to the study.

"Brother, do you suspect she has ulterior motives?" May 1st furrowed his eyebrows, "Doesn’t seem like it, if she wanted to approach me, I would’ve seen her before."

Liu Yi outright rejected the idea, "You’re overthinking it."

May 1st looked at him skeptically, "She’s just a little girl; what trouble could she cause? If she fails political screening, could she even be an exchange student?"

"So, do we investigate or not?"

"Let’s check, I’m curious about her past too. These parentless kids are really pitiful, sigh... like wilting cabbage in the field..."

Zhou Jiao stared dumbfounded at her son who began singing and gestured at Liu Yi: Are you sure your brother’s brain isn’t damaged?

Liu Yi chuckled, shaking his head, "My brother has always been a warm-hearted person."

"Brother, who are you insulting?"

"Praising you." Liu Yi smirked at him, "Have you thought about how to arrange Little Jiu next? Once she cuts ties with the Zheng family, where will she live?"

"Of course, I’ve considered it." May 1st nonchalantly smiled, "Isn’t she about to go abroad? She could stay in our old house for now."

"She stays in the old house?"

"Why not? Or let her stay with the master for a while?"

Liu Yi’s eyes flashed, and he glanced at Zhou Jiao, grinning meaningfully, "Mom, did you hear that?"

Zhou Jiao slightly nodded towards Liu Yi, thoughtfully observing May 1st’s expression. A bit surprised, yet somewhat expected, everything still awaited her husband’s investigation.

Orphan?

She didn’t mind, preferring it, as there wouldn’t be endless issues about family matters. But what’s her character like? Does she have any intentions towards her son?

That’s the key issue.

If she’s not suitable for her son, it would be better to send this girl to study in another country sooner, keeping a distance naturally wouldn’t let May 1st unknowingly care and then be heartbroken.
