To Qin Zheng, Guo Lili, his half-sister, was not as detestable as Li Xiuying. He didn't know that Guo Lili had stirred up trouble and bullied Ye Yun in his past life. He just felt that his sister was spoiled by Li Xiuying, making her willful, capricious, and vain, which made her unpleasant.

So when Guo Lili deliberately approached him, his first reaction was to avoid and resist.

A hint of aloofness emanated from his slightly furrowed brows; his thin lips were pressed tightly together, and his eyes coldly glanced at Guo Lili, who was feigning intimacy with him.

That look made Guo Lili feel uneasy.

Guo Lili, who had been relying on being Qin Zheng's younger sister, twisted her shoulders and tried to act coquettishly. But now, under Qin Zheng's cold gaze, her coquettish smile gradually froze, and a hint of unease rose in her eyes as she secretly glanced at Qin Zheng.

"Big brother..." Guo Lili swallowed hard as she spoke.

Why does her older brother's expression look so scary?

It was her mother and the Guo family who offended her older brother, not her. She and her older brother are siblings, born from the same womb. Why is her older brother looking at her like that?

"Qin Zheng, is there anything else you want to buy?"

Lu Da's wife spoke with a smile.

Everyone in Blackwater Village knew that Qin Zheng had long since severed ties with the Guo family, yet Guo Lili still called him "Big Brother" repeatedly, making it seem like she and Qin Zheng were very close, without feeling ashamed at all.

Guo Lili didn't dare to say a word at this moment.

When they were at Lao Guo's house, Qin Zheng doted on Li Xiuying the most, so why does he look at her like she's an enemy now?

Guo Lili was extremely unwilling to accept this.

It seems that ever since Ye Yun married her older brother, he no longer sees her as his younger sister.

She still remembers the first time Qin Zheng lost his temper with her, which was because of Ye Yun.

Ye Yun had only been married into their family for two days when her older brother bought her a particularly beautiful new dress. She immediately took a liking to the dress and wanted to secretly take it for herself, but Qin Zheng discovered this, pointed his finger at her nose, and scolded her in front of the whole family, scaring her half to death!

But that dress should have been hers.

If it weren't for Ye Yun, the floral dress Qin Zheng bought would naturally belong to her, his own younger sister.

Thinking of this, Guo Lili felt a surge of resentment. What kind of sister-in-law is she? She took away all the love and affection her brother had for her. How awful!

Ye Yun took in every bit of the resentment in the girl's eyes, and couldn't help but smile.

"Qin Zheng, have you finished buying?" She deliberately raised her voice, curled her lips, and looked at Qin Zheng and Guo Lili next to him in the store with a smile.

Guo Lili immediately looked at her.

"Why are you rushing me? Can't you be without my brother for even a second?!" She was already annoyed with Ye Yun, and hearing Ye Yun's voice made her even more irritable, her tone filled with impatience.

If she can't afford to offend Qin Zheng, why can't she afford to offend a mere Ye Yun?

"Sister-in-law is really something. She knows I rarely get to see my brother, and she still rushes you like this when we're talking..." She pouted unhappily, pinched the hem of her clothes, and whispered to Qin Zheng, trying to gain his approval by complaining about others.

Unfortunately, she criticized the wrong person.

Qin Zheng snorted coldly, picked up the peach shortbread in his hand, threw a dollar to Lu Da's wife, and turned and left the supply and marketing point briskly.

Lu Da's wife got anxious.

"Qin Zheng, is this all you're bringing to the grave? Aren't you going to buy anything else?"

"No!"

"Then you can't use this one dollar!"

"Keep it!"

The tall figure had already left the small shop, leaving behind only a cold and distant remark, which was carried into the narrow hut by the cool breeze.

Lu Da's wife sighed heavily.

She had thought Qin Zheng would buy a lot of things and make a lot of money from her little shop, but she never expected to only sell a few peach shortbreads!

It's all the fault of that daughter of the Guo family.

Lu Da's wife couldn't help but glare at Guo Lili, her eyes filled with annoyance, and grabbed a rag to vigorously wipe the table in front of her.

Guo Lili was also speechless.

Not only did she not expect Qin Zheng to completely ignore her, but she was also surprised that when Qin Zheng paid, he pulled out a thick wad of small bills from his pocket!

"Big brother!"

Seeing that Qin Zheng and Ye Yun were about to disappear from sight, she hurriedly lifted her foot to follow them out, but suddenly an arm stretched out from the side and blocked her way.

"Lili, stop bothering Qin Zheng."

Lu's wife stopped her, saying with a forced smile, "Everyone in our village knows that Qin Zheng is now a member of the Qin family, and has nothing to do with you, Guo's daughter. So stop calling him 'elder brother'."

"Who said he has nothing to do with me!"

Guo Lili gritted her teeth in anger, "It was my mother who severed ties with him, not me! I'm his own sister!"

Lu Da's wife was speechless.

Your mother has severed ties with him, so how could you, his half-baked sister, possibly have any connection with him?

Isn't it because they see Qin Zheng is rich and a big boss, and they want to follow in his footsteps and live a life of luxury?

When they moved out of Lao Guo's house, you, their sister, didn't say a single nice word to them!

Lu Da's wife was too lazy to argue with Guo Lili. With a cold face, she grabbed the soy sauce bottle next to her and said unhappily, "You're here to buy soy sauce, right? The price of soy sauce has gone up. No credit, pay me first."

"The price has gone up?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Lili blushed and stammered, "How much...how much?"

"It used to be two points, now it's three."

“Three points…” Guo Lili took out the money for soy sauce that Li Xiuying had given her from her pocket, a hint of embarrassment on her face.
