486 Digital Devil (1/2)

”Little brother, be a good boy when you're inside. No arguments with anyone,” Xiu warned Jackie in a stern voice but she sounded more like a concerned sister. She already could see this little brother arguing over plenty of things. ”I know you dislike Ah-Si because he made Nora cry but we are open-minded people. We shouldn't hold only one person accountable.”

”Even if he is right, I can't just like him. No matter what he made my sister cry.” Jackie was also firm on his stance which could become a headache for others. But Xiu already had a plan set up. Even this smart kid couldn't escape from her.

”But Nora also made him cry. What about that?” she argued back. ”He must have been also hurt. Especially when he thought that Nora wanted to abandon their daughter.”

Jackie thought about before saying, ”But Nono didn't know about it.”

”Just like that he also didn't know it,” she replied.

”Isn't he too young to understand all that? Don't be so hard on him. He is just a kid after all,” stated Ying when she noticed how Xiu was giving advice to Jackie standing outside the Xin Villa. Why was she even trying so hard?

Jackie looked up at Ying as he replied on behalf of his sister, ”I'm Jackson Jing. My intelligence is higher than my height. I might be seven but my mom says, I'm very smart for my age. I can understand a lot more than most of my age.”

Ying's brows quirked up at his reply, ”You sound like someone I know...” While saying that her eyes were looking at Xiu who seemed proud to hear him talk. But she couldn't deny she loved seeing Xiu with this little kid. It made her wish for a little brother as well. But her parents were too cruel! Everyone had a sibling except for her! How unfair!

She was about to follow them inside carelessly when Xiu stopped her. ”What?”

”Where do you think you're going?”

”Inside. Isn't it obvious?”

”No! You have to go on that date!”

Ying rolled her eyes and sighed, ”Xiu, let me just say hi to everyone.I'll be scolded if Zizi got to know that I left from the door.”

”Ying Jie, even if you think it's not a date, you still have to go.”

”But why?”

”Because he helped you. It's common courtesy to return a favor. What's wrong with taking him for a meal?”

”I will take him for a meal. I also know these things that gratitude should be timely set forth to show your sincerity. But we can't be hasty. What if he is busy?”

Xiu placed her hands on her hips as she asked, ”And how would you know he is busy when you didn't even try asking?” Ying stared at her face while she went on, ”Take out your phone and text him. If he says, he is busy. I'll let you off the hook for now.”
