Free Web NovelChapter 2247: Chapter 2247: The Busybody
"Have you two finished your act? Go open the door." Boss Zhang’s voice rang out, commanding the two performers.
Followed by the sound of footsteps, the door was pulled open from the inside.
Two vibrant young lads appeared at the door, two faces seemingly carved from the same mold, wearing lemon and light green wool sweaters respectively, and looking quite handsome. They seemed to be middle school students, taller than little Xie Youtian, easily around 1.6 meters, like telephone poles, and their height was not inferior when standing with the three sisters outside, likely to keep growing.
"Hello sisters, please come in and sit." Polite and courteous in greeting guests at the door, quite a turnaround from performing inside. The two youths’ one-eighty-degree change made the sisters at the door wonder if they were having a split personality disorder, otherwise couldn’t explain how what they just heard and what they’re seeing now appear to be two different groups.
"I’ll get slippers for the sisters." Said the youth in the light green sweater, fetching three pairs of ladies’ slippers from the shoe cabinet in the entrance.
"Grandma, there are guests. You sit, we’ll bring them in." The youth in the lemon yellow sweater walked back to the living room to report to the elderly.
Call her Grandma? Are these two Boss Zhang’s twin sons returning from abroad?
Soon someone else came from the living room to meet them at the door. This time, Xie Wanying and the others recognized the person as Teacher Lu’s grandson, Zhang Shuping.
Zhang Shuping introduced the youths to them: "They’re my cousins, Zhang Tian’an and Zhang Tianxing."
It’s hard to tell who’s older among twins. Apparently, the taller one by 0.1 is actually Zhang Tianxing, the younger of the twins, wearing the light green sweater. Zhang Tian’an, in the lemon yellow sweater, is the older brother.
Boss Zhang’s twin sons are deemed attractive and carry a calculated appearance, perhaps allowing people to imagine how Boss Zhang might have looked in his younger days, not much different from his sons?
Zhang Huayao himself denies it, hands on hips, instructing his sons: "Don’t just stand there, go make tea for the guests. At your age, I was already making cookies to entertain guests."
Teacher Lu couldn’t help but scold after hearing his son’s nonsense: "You making cookies? You can make cookies?"
"Why not? Making baked cookies."
Baked cookies are cookies too. Boss Zhang’s sophistry almost made Teacher Lu wield a feather duster.
"Happy New Year, Teacher Lu." Xie Wanying and the group entered, carrying gifts into the house to hand over to the host.
Seeing them bringing things, Zhang Huayao raised his eyebrows, pointing to two people present who could attest: "What did I tell you? Recite it back to me."
At Boss Zhang’s house, you’re not allowed to bring gifts, only an empty stomach.
"Take it back." Teacher Lu refused to accept them.
Zhang Shuping laughed heartily, helping them set the items aside to be returned when they leave.
Entering the house, they discovered other guests were present. Having dodged for days, they couldn’t avoid encountering other bosses at Boss Zhang’s house. Xie Wanying straightened her back: "Teacher Fu."
The Robot is here. He Xiangyu and Lau Jingyun pulled a bitter face.
Fu Xinheng represented his department visiting the old matriarch, similarly trying to avoid peak human traffic, thus being unprepared to meet these three.
"You all stay for dinner tonight," Teacher Lu announced to all the guests.
No sooner had they touched the chairs than a phone rang.
Everyone glanced around, seeing Student Xie’s hand find its way to her pocket.
Xie Wanying awkwardly received Teacher Fu’s meaningful glance: The busy person’s phone rang again.
Looking at the incoming call: Hu Hao
