Hearing these flattery from Kuo Mingsheng's mouth, Qi Mansu only felt that it was the opposite of sarcastic. However, her face did not reveal such an expression.

Instead, she smiled at him with a very modest look and said, ”I'm just as good as you say. In every industry, there are many outstanding people. People like me can only be described as ordinary.”

Kuo Minglie, who had been quietly eating porridge at the side, upon hearing his words, squinted his eyes and could not help but snort coldly, ”You have just returned home and have no idea about the many cultural customs that you have encountered.”

”Minutes. That's more like it. Sit down first!” Xue Qin looked at his son with satisfaction and laughed, then pressed his arm, allowing him to sit down.

On the other hand, she looked at Kuo Minglie who was seated opposite her with an extremely apologetic expression and said in a low voice, ”Crack, what Ming Cheng said just now was only an accident. Don't mind him.”

”Ever since he was young, he has lived abroad. He doesn't understand our country's culture and customs very well, so sometimes it is very normal to use one or two wrong words.”

”That's why I hope you can cover him up. When he understands, he won't make the same mistake he did today.”

”If what he just said caused you to misunderstand or caused you to be unhappy, can auntie apologize for him here? Don't blame him. ”

After Xue Qin finished speaking, she respectfully bowed to him. However, there were still no changes on Kuo Minglie's face; the only difference was that the ridiculing expression in his eyes had become even more dense.

Seeing Kuo Minglie not saying a word the whole time, the bent over Xue Qin also could not help but straighten up, her head lowered with a face full of hatred while grinding her teeth.

She had already lowered herself to such a low position, but he still dared to push himself even further. She looked at his face here, and when she thought of this, she clasped her hands together even harder.

Just as she was about to lose control of her anger, Kuo Tianzhong who was seated at the head seat could not take it anymore, and spoke coldly to Kuo Minglie: ”Enough, do whatever you want. Also, don't forget, she is your elder.

After Kuo Minglie heard his father's words, he let out a cold laugh once more. ”You gave me such a big hat so quickly. Dad, why don't you ask if I can handle it?”

”You …” Hearing his own son speak to him weirdly, Kuo Tianzhong also felt that his dignity had been provoked as a hint of anger surfaced on his face.

But before he could explode, his arm was grabbed by Xue Qin who was standing at the side. She said gently: ”Alright, Tian Zhong, don't be angry.”

”Actually, in the end, this matter is still our fault. Earlier, you didn't prepare the mind of the Crack, but Ming Cheng and I appeared out of cover. No one else would have been able to do that.”

”So now the child has a bit of anger in his heart, so let's just wait a bit longer!” Okay? ”Don't be angry with the child, we are the ones who let you down.”

”If he wants to lose his temper, then it's a good thing. I won't put it in my heart, and I definitely won't blame him. After all, isn't our family still going to have to continue on?”

Hearing Xue Qin's words, Kuo Tianzhong's eyes revealed an emotional expression. She knew that this woman was not that kind of person.

Now that he gave himself a way out, he could no longer hold onto this matter anymore. Sighing lightly, he looked at Xue Qin lovingly: ”It's been really hard on you.

Saying that, Kuo Tianzhong did not continue speaking, he only let out a deep sigh, and then turned his grumbling gaze back onto Kuo Minglie's body.

As for Qi Mansu, who was sitting at the side and felt such a gaze, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She immediately understood why Kuo Minglie had such an attitude toward his father.

In Kuo Tianzhong's heart, he was no longer treating Kuo Minglie as a family, but rather, as an enemy. Now, he could somewhat understand Kuo Minglie's feelings.

Thinking to this point, she looked to her right at Kuo Minglie, who was standing on her side. Seeing that his face still had no expression, it was as if there was nothing in this world that could make him sad.

Qi Mansu couldn't help but think in her heart that this cold person at least had one benefit, and that was that he could protect herself from others when they, especially her loved ones, hurt him.

However, what Qi Mansu did not know was that, at this moment, Kuo Minglie's hands that were hidden under the tablecloth, were tightly clenched.
