"What do you mean, it's not serious?" Jie Jinghun was unhappy. He was ready to say whatever it took to make his father uncomfortable. Had Jing Si not mentioned Xiao Duo, his anger wouldn't have even turned on his father. But the blatant favoritism... he recalled how his father doted on Xiao You while remaining so distant with Xiao Duo. 'Isn't that the very definition of favoring boys over girls?'
Mr. Xie sighed. Without beating around the bush, he said bluntly, "Jing San, go to your mother-in-law's house and bring Xiao Duo back."
Jie Jinghun and Shen Qing were both stunned. Jie Jinghun, in particular, was shocked. His father had come to their room about Xiao Duo, not to ask him to reason with his second and fourth brothers.
He had already made up his mind: the moment his father brought it up, he would throw him right out.
He had decided to stay out of the conflict between his second and fourth brothers' families and just watch from the sidelines.
