Chapter 232 Younger Brother

Worried about Qiuqiu's safety, Su Junyao, who had run all the way here despite his injuries, heard Qiuqiu calling a strange man "Dad" as soon as he entered the small courtyard.

If it weren't for the circumstances, he would have grabbed her little ear and made her take a good look at how this unkempt man resembled her handsome father in any way!

Su Jinze, who followed him in, paused for a moment and said subconsciously, "Dad, this man looks just like you!"

Su Junyao was so angry that his face turned pale and his eyes red: "Your father was handsome and dashing, a famous heartthrob in the capital when he was young! And look at him, so slovenly, and a..."

Su Junyao's gaze shifted downwards; the man in the wheelchair was lame. He was merely angrily claiming someone as his father, and had no intention of attacking a disabled person.

Hmph! Anyway, he's the most handsome!

So, Chiu Chiu's narcissism is partly hereditary.

Su Jinze carefully scanned the man between his father and the stranger in front of him, even beginning to doubt his grandfather's innocence. The man's features did indeed resemble his father's.

Especially now, the details are so illegible that it's hard to make out their exact appearance.

Su Junyao felt very uncomfortable under his son's gaze. "Don't look at me like that..."

Yuanmu stepped forward and handed him a small bronze mirror, just the right size so he could see his dark face and bluish-black stubble. It certainly wasn't very presentable…

He tilted the mirror to the side, and the reflection showed the man sitting quietly opposite him. He quickly pulled the mirror back, and there was indeed a resemblance!

"Who are you?"

The man in the wheelchair gave Qiuqiu's family a strange smile. Su Jinze was puzzled and grabbed Qiuqiu, the foolish and bold one, and pulled her back.

Still clueless, Chuchu: [I don't think he's a bad person...]

Su Jinze: Completely unsuspecting!

He looks just like his dad!

Su Jinze: "!!!"

"Heh..." The man opposite him watched the interaction between the brother and sister, glanced at Su Junyao, and asked casually, "You surnamed Su?"

Before Su Junyao could answer, he turned his wheelchair to make way for everyone: "Your injuries need to be treated as soon as possible. Come in with me. Don't worry, I don't want you to die."

Chirp chirp, fiddles with her fingers, and seeing that her father and brother don't move, tentatively stretches out her chubby little foot, "Then I won't be polite~"

Su Jinze held Qiuqiu by the collar, letting her struggle in the air. However, he hadn't eaten for several days and had exerted a lot of strength just now, so his arms were weak and he couldn't control the chubby girl. In a moment of carelessness, she broke free.

"Chirp chirp!"

Chiu Chiu took a couple of steps confidently and beckoned to the suspicious group with her finger: "You guys, relax!"

Raise your little fists, Chuchu will protect everyone!

[I sense a familiar feeling here; there must be someone I know! I want to go in and take a look.]

She's not stupid; she must have an important purpose for venturing into unfamiliar places. It's a pity they don't understand her!

Having no other choice, Su Jinze and Su Junyao followed.

Luckily, there was no danger.

The man's yard was overgrown with weeds, as if it had been abandoned for a long time. If it weren't for the overgrown weeds proving that the man often passed through there and the simple items placed inside, they would never have thought that someone still lived there.

The furnishings here were simple but convenient. The man skillfully took out a worn-out rosewood box, brushed off the dust, and carefully opened it. Inside were many oil paper packets scattered about. He picked one out and handed it to Su Junyao, "Applying it to the wound can remove necrotic tissue and promote tissue regeneration."

Su Junyao took the oil paper package and opened it. Inside was an unknown white powder. Yuan Mu took it and gently fanned it with his hand, then smelled it: "It's medicinal powder. It contains red peony root, chuanxiong rhizome, calamus, and... um, I can't smell it. It is indeed a medicine for treating external injuries."

Su Junyao was worried, so he handed the powder to Qiuqiu, saying, "You can't eat it, Qiuqiu, just smell it."

Although Chuchu was curious as to why her dad treated her like a dog, she was still happy to cooperate, exclaiming, "Wow!"

[Roasted sunflower seeds!]

Su Junyao was relieved; at least it wouldn't be poisonous.

The wound on his back needs to be treated as soon as possible, otherwise it could damage his internal organs.

He bowed slightly, somewhat embarrassed, to the man, saying, "Sir, my son and I are both injured. Would you be so kind as to give us another packet of medicine? We would be eternally grateful and will certainly repay your kindness in the future!"

"Is he your son?" the man asked. "And are your wife and children?"

Su Junyao's hair stood on end, and he quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no! Sir, you've misunderstood!"

He's traumatized by what happened with Zheng Xiulan, so he absolutely can't say things that could cause misunderstandings!

Yuan Mu stood aloof to the side, not saying a word but responding with indifference.

Chiu Chiu approached the man, fearlessly throwing herself at him. She patted her chest and pointed to the two people behind her, saying, "One, Ga."

"Are you a family?" the man chuckled. "Doesn't seem like it."

Chuchu is happy, it must be because she's beautiful and smells good!

The man shattered Chiu Chiu's perfect smile: "You look silly."

Chirp: "∑(дlll)"

Xi Zi clutched her heart and backed away repeatedly, only stopping when she bumped into her brother. This is too much for the child!

The man, a mocking smile on his face, watched Qiuqiu's antics and lectured the little dumpling: "Don't easily trust strangers in the future."

ChouChou burst into tears and buried her face in Su Jinze's arms, ["I feel hurt, I'll never love again."]

The father and son almost lost their composure. How could someone her age understand love?

But don't easily trust strangers!

Watching her father and brother apply medicine and bandages with the help of Yuanmu, Qiuqiu felt that she had been fooled once again.

Didn't we agree not to trust strangers?

What, is this phrase exclusive to her?

The little dumpling, who never learns from her mistakes, glanced around furtively. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she tiptoed to the man's side and poked his arm: "Shui?"

The man frowned: "Want some water?"

Chiu Chiu shook her head and repeated, "shui?"

"You ask who I am?" The man's smile widened as he bent down, pinched Qiuqiu's cheeks, and pulled them apart. They felt soft and squishy, ​​like a ball of cotton... no, even cotton didn't feel as good as her little face.

His blanket was hard and cold, unlike the cotton blanket his mother had described in her notes. It was also the face of the child before him.

He released Qiuqiu's face, gently rubbed it, and only mischievously withdrew his hand when he saw the baby's round face deform: "I should be your father's...brother. You should call me uncle."

"Little brother?!" Chiu Chiu had never spoken so clearly since she started talking; her sweet little voice suddenly rose to a high pitch, drawing everyone's attention.

The man corrected her: "Call him uncle."

No freeloading!

Chiu Chiu was shocked. Who on earth had cheated on her?!

Su Junyao clenched his fist to suppress his anger, "Are you my brother?"

I'm your grandpa!

The man nodded: "My mother and your father are siblings."

"What?!"
