Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 183: The Eldest Princess of the Mei Family

i Fang imdiately answered without hesitation:

“Who else would call that…it must be Sister Yue Yue, right?”

“Hehe… bingo!”

i Fang brushed away the hands covering his eyes and faced the older cousin dressed in jeans and a white jacket. She had short, wavy curly hair, and among her beautiful features, the mole below the corner of her left eye was particularly noticeable.

She was also pleasantly surprised to see i Fang.

“Wow, Xiaofangzi, you’ve grown so handso! I’m sure I wouldn’t recognize you if I saw you on the street.”

“It’s not that exaggerated, is it?” i Fang waved his hand dismissively, engaging in so mutual flattery typical of the i family. “Sister Yue Yue, you’re the one who has beco more and more beautiful. Oh, did you co here with Uncle and Auntie?”

“Yes, your dad kept urging us to visit your new house. I took a few extra days off work for this. I couldn’t see you during New Year last year because I was preparing for the civil service exam. So this year, I ca specially to see you and Xiaoya.”

As i Yue said this, she couldn’t help but reach out and pinch i Fang’s cheeks: “Oh, this little handso guy is so good-looking! Let Sister Yue Yue pinch you so more! The more I pinch, the more red envelopes I’ll give you!”

“Sigh…”

This cheerful and lively young lady was i Fang’s cousin, i Yue. She was about seven or eight years older than i Fang but had always lived with her parents in Echeng. Therefore, they rarely had the opportunity to et.

In his previous life, i Fang had a good relationship with i Yue during their childhood. i Fang spent his second, third, and sixth grade sumr vacations at his uncle, i Lixiong’s house in Echeng, and his sister Yue Yue was always there to take care of him and play with him. However, in this life, he was busy maintaining a pure friendship with his two childhood sweethearts, so he only went to Echeng for one sumr vacation.

When Xiang Xiaoxia was pregnant with i Ya and needed to avoid acquaintances in Baii, she stayed at i Lixiong’s house in Echeng for the entire year.

i Ya was also born in Echeng, and for two years, i Yue helped take care of Xiang Xiaoxia and the infant i Ya.

Such events also helped this generation of cousins maintain a good relationship. Although their contact decreased significantly as they grew up, every eting still felt warm.

However, in the past two years, whenever i Fang faced i Yue, he would always ask her about one thing, as if he had been concerned about it for a long ti.

“Sister Yue Yue, let ask you, do you have a boyfriend right now?”

“Ah… Xiaofangzi, why are you so interested in my love life lately? Are you worried that your sister Yue Yue won’t be able to get married?”

i Yue helplessly crossed her arms and sighed.

“This is a matter of great concern for our family’s eldest sister. There must have been many people chasing after Sister Yue Yue in college, and you must definitely have even more admirers after you started working. Since Sister Yue Yue is the eldest princess of our i family, we can’t let you be snatched away by just anyone.”

“Don’t worry, there isn’t anyone at the mont…” i Yue said while suddenly shifting her gaze elsewhere. i Fang had seen this coy gesture too many tis from Xia Yuan, so he quickly understood her thoughts.

“So, it ans it’s not official yet?”

i Fang continued to inquire along the sa topic, “But is it close to becoming official?”

“If you put it that way…” i Yue seed a bit hesitant when answering the question. “Well, there is soone.”

“Then, what does he do?”

i Yue playfully punched i Fang and said, “You’re in such a hurry to dig into my love life! Hey, did you make a deal with my dad to co and get information on my love life? He’s been pressuring to go on blind dates lately, making et those potential matches from within the party that Uncle introduced. I’m so tired of it.”

“No, no, it’s not related to Uncle. I’m just genuinely curious!”

i Fang smiled and said, “After all, ordinary n are not worthy of our sister Yue Yue.”

“Don’t say that. I’m nothing special. But he did start a business in Jiangcheng. He’s a small business owner.”

“I see… got it! So, it seems that Sister Yue Yue has caught the attention of a handso and wealthy man?”

“It’s not official yet, so don’t tell my dad!”

i Yue playfully hooked her arm around i Fang’s shoulder. “Otherwise, I’ll let you experience the Yue Yue’s Iron Fist, the one you were most afraid of when you were little!”

“Alright, alright, I won’t tell anyone. But I see there are a lot of scamrs out there these days, so if I have a chance, let your little cousin et him and help you assess him.

“Fine… Since you’re so interested in eting him, I’ll consider it. He’s currently working in Jiangcheng, so after New Year, when I have a chance to visit your school, I’ll take you to et him.”

“Great! But before that, you’re not allowed to officially start your relationship with him. Otherwise, don’t bla for reporting it to Uncle and Auntie.”

“Alright, you’re quite clever Xiaofangzi… Go back inside quickly, Dad and Mom haven’t seen you yet. I’m going to find Xiaoya and have so quality ti with her.”

“Got it!”

i Fang followed behind his cousin after their conversation, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

In her previous life, i Yue had always been an optimistic and cheerful young lady. However, not long after graduating and starting work, she t and fell in love with a scumbag man, eventually marrying him.

Ever since the scumbag got together with i Yue, he not only used sweet words to deceive her out of her life savings but also mortgaged her father’s house to take out loans for construction projects, which eventually led to him losing everything and disappearing without a trace.

Having been retired for many years, i Fang’s uncle had to drag his elderly body to do odd jobs and run a street stall to pay off debts, all in order to prevent their house from being taken away.

i Yue was unable to find the scumbag after that, and she also developed hysteria due to self-reproach and sha, sotis falling into a state of madness.

This tragedy completely shattered i Lixiong’s family, turning them into the laughingstock of their neighborhood, and i Yue’s mother spent her days in tears.

In his previous life, i Fang couldn’t do anything for his uncle’s family, and watching his once lively cousin fall into such a state pained him deeply.

But now, with a fresh start in this new life, i Fang wouldn’t let this tragedy repeat itself in their family. He would find a way to prevent his sister Yue Yue from falling into the trap of that scumbag again.

i Fang entered the house and warmly greeted i Lixiong and his wife, saying, “Hello, Uncle and Auntie!”

“Oh… i Fang, you’ve grown so big!” His uncle exclaid upon seeing him. His aunt was also delighted and said, “You’ve beco such a young man. It’s amazing how much you change every year.”

“Auntie, you’re getting younger and younger. Your skincare is really good.”

“i Fang really knows how to speak well, as expected of soone from Jiangcheng NOHS.”

Compared to his energetic younger brother, i Lijun, the older brother, i Lixiong, appeared much more calm. “How is life at Jiangcheng NOHS? Is the academic pressure still high?”

“Not bad. Everyone is very capable… I can barely keep up.”

“That’s still impressive. Work hard. Our generation of the i family relies on you for a bright future. You should also take care of your cousin more. Although she is much older than you, she only knows how to have fun and doesn’t think about anything else.”

“You’re bad-mouthing in front of my little cousin again, I can hear you!” i Yue protested as she grabbed i Ya’s hand at the door.

i Fang’s paternal relatives did not live very close to each other. The two brothers, i Lixiong and i Lijun, along with their younger sister, i Lirong, who got married and moved to Xingcheng in Hunan Province. They didn’t et often due to the distance.

i Fang’s grandparents passed away when he was three years old, leaving behind the ancestral property, which was an old house. This house was given to the youngest son, i Lijun, who stayed in their hotown.

Of course, i Lijun lived up to expectations. Through his hard work, he beca a deputy director, the most successful mber of the i family so far.

After i Lijun beca successful, so distant relatives who had little contact before started coming around to benefit from his achievents. Moving to Baizhou actually reduced the troubles caused by those relatives.

Of course, the relationship between the two brothers had always been good, even before i Lijun achieved success. Even now, i Lixiong was still calling i Lijun “little brother” or “Lijun” as usual, without using any honorifics.

After exchanging greetings with his uncle and aunt, i Fang chatted with them for a bit. Xiang Xiaoxia ca out of the kitchen wiping her hands at this mont. The mother and son often talk to each other through phone calls or video calls, so it wasn’t really a long-awaited reunion, and there was no need for much small talk. When she saw i Fang, she imdiately urged him:

“Go take a shower! You’ve been sitting in the car for so long. Xiaoya, you too.”

i Ya reluctantly replied, “Why do I have to take a shower? I shower every day. It’s so cold, I don’t want to get undressed.”

“Stop acting like a baby. Go and take a shower quickly.”

“Auntie, I’ll help i Ya wash up!”

“Great! I want to take a shower with Sister Yue Yue!”

“You still need soone to help you wash at this age. Aren’t you embarrassed?”

“No, I’m not embarrassed. I’m super happy!”

“You little brat…”

With i Ya’s lively personality, the house was filled with a joyous atmosphere.

While chatting with everyone, i Fang secretly checked his phone. In the group chat with the three of them, Xia Yuan had sent a ssage half an hour ago, saying that they had arrived ho and even shared a photo of their family dinner.

The photo showed Xia Yuan’s family, including the still beautiful and elegant Teacher Yu.

【Having dinner at our house tonight! It seems like my mom’s cooking has improved a bit. What do you think?】

【Then I should try it when I go back.】

i Fang had just sent the ssage but Xia Yuan replied instantly.

【You better not try it. It will ruin the beautiful image of my mom that you’ve had in your heart all this ti. QwQ】

i Fang smiled and shook his head while looking at the screen, then unconsciously let out a sigh.

Although the atmosphere at ho was currently warm, sothing still felt missing.

I kind of want to recharge Yuan Yuan’s and Youxi’s super energy right now. Sigh…
