Chapter 1263: Chapter 1263: Candid Photos

The sisters have always called Zhou Hengyang “brother-in-law,” but strictly speaking, since Zhou Hengyang married into the family, calling him “Big Brother” would be more appropriate.

“What are you looking at? Have you gone dumb?” Zhou Hengguang, unable to restrain himself, poked her again.

“Ouch!” Su Xue held the back of her head where it hurt, the previous daze all gone. Now she understood why neither Second sister nor Third sister liked him. No one would like someone with a toxic tongue and a tendency to be handsy.

Su Qing simply didn’t want to bother with the two people behind her.

With keys in hand, Su Xiu opened the main gate of the yard. She frowned upon seeing snow everywhere. “Nobody’s living at home, it really lacks liveliness. At this rate, the house will deteriorate even quicker.”

“Forget it, I don’t want to come back here in the future either.” Su Qing followed behind, staring at the yard that had begun to show signs of dilapidation, “Let’s pack up a little, and tonight we’ll stay at the county’s hotel.”

“Alright.”

It was indeed unsafe to stay in the village at night; they could even be surrounded by the whole village and burnt alive in the middle of the night.

Anyway, they had offended the entire village.

The sisters immediately began to pack things up, taking away everything that was left behind during the last hurried move and anything with precious memories. It was also fortunate that Zhou Hengguang’s car was big enough to hold a lot, and whatever didn’t fit could be put on the roof and tied down with ropes.

Ji Fang followed and helped with carrying the heavy items.

Only Zhou Hengguang acted like a grandpa, hands in his pockets, looking around everywhere. When his mood improved, he even took out his camera to take pictures, admiring the scenery as if an idle tourist, while everyone else was busy nonstop.

Su Qing pretended not to see him and treated him like a stranger.

Su Xiu was good-natured and too polite to boss anyone around.

Only Su Xue found it incomprehensible. While busying herself, she quietly asked Ji Fang, “What’s your relationship with him again?” pointing to Zhou Hengguang’s back.

“I’m his secretary, and he’s the Deputy Director of our design institute,” Ji Fang answered honestly.

“Oh! And he can act like this… how?” She meant his thick skin.

Ji Fang, embarrassed, smiled apologetically and quickly offered excuses on behalf of Zhou Hengguang, “I’m really sorry! Please don’t be angry at our Deputy Director. He is actually a very good person, a very, very good person.”

At first, Ji Fang couldn’t stand the Deputy Director either, but the longer he worked with him, the more he grew to like and respect him. Especially after knowing how poorly he had performed his secretarial duties without being fired, he started to consider the Deputy Director as one of his own.

Su Xue looked at him skeptically, thinking to herself whether this man was alright in the head. Maybe he had become accustomed to being oppressed for too long?

“Him? A good person? You must be using ‘good’ ironically, right?”

“No, really, it’s not.” Ji Fang rushed to clarify, “Our Deputy Director isn’t unwilling to help, it’s just that… it’s just that he’s not feeling well, really. Also, I have a secret to tell you, but don’t let it slip!”

Ji Fang was aware of what the Deputy Director had previously done to Su Qing, and although he didn’t condone his boss’s scummy actions, he still wanted to help the Deputy Director make amends. Su Xue was Su Qing’s sister and the little aunt of the big boss.

So, she couldn’t be offended, and it was essential to establish a good relationship. If the Deputy Director wasn’t good at networking, then Ji Fang would lend a hand!

Su Xue’s mouth twitched skeptically.

She hadn’t noticed any signs that he was feeling unwell!

“Go on.”

“Actually, our Deputy Director has never done household chores; he doesn’t know how.”

“…” Su Xue shivered uncontrollably with disbelief and decided to keep her distance from these two in the future.

Not one of them was normal.
