Chapter 56: Overthinking... It's great to become in-laws, getting closer through children!

As soon as Xu Hengzhou spoke, Wei Qiaowen's expression immediately changed. She opened her mouth, and her face turned slightly red. Just a moment ago, she addressed Xu Hengzhou as "brother," and now, Xu Hengzhou called her "Second Sister Wei." It was no different from a direct rebuff.

Blushing, Wei Qiaowen glanced at Xu Hengzhou and then turned to glare fiercely at Xiang Chen before storming out.

"What's going on?" Song Wenbin and Wei Hongsheng, who were immersed in their chess game, turned their heads at the sound of Wei Qiaowen slamming the door.

Wei Hongsheng was the first to scold his son, "Wei Hang?! What mischief have you caused this time?"

Wei Hang was already annoyed. He saw Xiang Chen hiding behind Xu Hengzhou, and the look of disdain in his eyes made him feel both angry and upset. Now, his father, without distinguishing right from wrong, was questioning him. Wei Hang couldn't contain his frustration.

"He's the one who made Wei Qiaowen run away. What's it got to do with me?" Wei Hang pointed at Xu Hengzhou and spoke defiantly to his father.

"Nonsense! It must be you causing trouble again." Wei Hongsheng didn't believe a word of his son's explanation. He held a high opinion of the two children from the Song family – Xu Hengzhou was responsible and capable, while Xiang Chen was adorable and well-behaved, making them much better than his own mischievous son.

Wei Hang exploded with anger, his eyes turning red as he glared at his father. "Fine, it's me, alright? You like him so much, why don't you just make him your son!"

Throwing the chess pieces in his hand, Wei Hongsheng stood up, ready to discipline his son.

Quickly intervening, Song Wenbin got up and signaled to Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen, asking them to help explain.

Though Xiang Chen didn't like Wei Hang, he didn't want to see him wrongly accused. He spoke up to Wei Hongsheng, "Uncle Wei, you've misunderstood. It's not Wei Hang's fault."

Wei Hongsheng, somewhat swayed by Xiang Chen's words and noticing his son's aggrieved expression, softened a bit. However, his tone remained harsh, "Don't defend him. This boy is just asking for trouble."

Alarmed, Xiang Chen thought Wei Hongsheng was about to punish Wei Hang again. Having witnessed one such incident before, where Wei Hang was disciplined with a belt, he became anxious.

"It's really not Wei Hang's fault," Xiang Chen hurriedly explained. "Earlier, my brother called Miss Wei 'Second Sister,' and she got upset and left."

Wei Hongsheng exchanged a glance with Song Wenbin, both of them puzzled by Xiang Chen's words. How could someone get upset over being called 'Second Sister' with just one utterance?

Feeling awkward to discuss Wei Qiaowen's girlish feelings in front of the elders, Xu Hengzhou, as the involved party, refrained from explaining further.

Xiang Chen glanced at his brother, and seeing no objection from him, he honestly explained, "Miss Wei initially called my brother 'Big Brother Xu'..."

Wei Hongsheng and Song Wenbin suddenly understood the situation. Song Wenbin didn't say much, and Wei Hongsheng cleared his throat, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He said, "This kid, we've spoiled her."
