Chapter 171 Sister, I'll do whatever you say.
Shi Jingman remained silent on the other end. Time ticked by, and after what seemed like a long time, she finally spoke in a deliberately lighthearted tone, "What's the point of thinking about something that's impossible?"
"Mom, do you still love Dad?" Chu Rou regretted asking the question as soon as she finished, and wanted to slap herself.
Shi Jingman fell silent again, perhaps deep in thought about the question.
A few seconds later, Chu Rou heard Shi Jingman's gentle voice, "Love, in Mom's heart, has always reserved a small place for him. But don't let your Uncle Shen know this, he's a real jealous person."
"Okay, this is a secret between us, mother and daughter." Chu Rou wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
She can't even imagine what it would be like for her parents to meet.
Chu Rou chatted with Shi Jingman for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.
Chu Rou was eager to share her feelings with someone. She realized that Mo Chi hadn't returned yet, so she sent a message asking where he was.
Mo Chi had been busy at the company for several hours. He knew that Chu Rou and her father would have a lot to talk about after their reunion, so he rushed to the company to take over some of Mo Yuan's work.
He was in a state of high excitement. He never expected that Qi Wende would be Chu Rou's martyr father. No wonder he always wore a mask. Aunt Qi must be afraid that he would be recognized. That was a ruthless move.
But none of this mattered to him. All he knew was that his relationship with Chu Rou was settled, and he had one less rival in love—Qi Hang.
Haha, just thinking about it makes me so happy. He no longer has to worry about Qi Hang stealing his girlfriend. Qi Hang has become his brother-in-law. From now on, when he sees him, he'll have to call him brother-in-law.
Upon receiving Chu Rou's message, Mo Chi replied with a smile: "I've taken over Mo Yuan's work at the company. I'll be back to keep you company later."
When Chu Rou saw the message, she knew that Mo Chi would be very busy recently, so she thoughtfully told him to go see Mo Anbang after get off work, since his father was still in the hospital.
It's a pity they're not in the same hospital, otherwise she should have gone to see her father-in-law.
Chu Rou stood up and paced back and forth in the ward. The injury on her back did not hinder her daily life. If Mo Chi hadn't been worried about her wound getting infected, she would have wanted to be discharged immediately.
"sister!"
Just when Chu Rou was extremely bored, Qi Lin appeared at the door of the ward again.
Hearing this "sister," Chu Rou's heart softened. Qi Lin was no longer Qi Lin, but her own younger sister, and she changed her address to "Linlin."
Qi Lin ran over and hugged Chu Rou, "So you're my sister, that's wonderful."
Chu Rou smelled the alcohol on Qi Lin's breath. "You've been drinking?"
Qi Lin nodded, "After drinking so much to vent my sadness, I thought you were going to be my stepmother!"
Chu Rou was both amused and exasperated. "Is there shit in your head? Why would I like an old man? What would I want? Mo Chi has everything."
Qi Lin let go of Chu Rou, feeling embarrassed. "Since you and Dad were hugging, I didn't expect you to be my sister, so I misunderstood. Luckily, my brother told me."
"Knowing that I'm the older sister, can you accept it?" Chu Rou asked, staring at Qi Lin. "Are you worried that I'll steal Dad's favor and seize the Qi family's assets?"
Qi Lin chuckled, "Don't worry, you can have it all. I just want my sister to love me."
Chu Rou smiled and pinched Qi Lin's cheek, "How come I never noticed before that you have such a good mouth!"
Qi Lin hugged Chu Rou's arm and rested her head on Chu Rou's shoulder. "Sister, don't you think this is fate? I liked you the first time I saw you. I wish I could turn into a man and marry you."
Thinking of this, Qi Lin laughed so hard her whole body shook. "Sister, do you know that my brother has always wanted to marry you and snatch you away from Mo Chi?"
"Huh?" Chu Rou looked completely bewildered. "You mean Qi Hang likes me?"
Qi Lin hummed in agreement. "Didn't you feel it?"
Chu Rou shook her head, "I thought he was deliberately causing trouble for Mo Chi to stand up for you!"
Qi Lin sighed, "My brother has no experience in pursuing girls, and he lost miserably."
Chu Rou tapped Qi Lin on the head, "What's so tragic about him? If he were to win me over, that would be truly tragic, okay?"
That's really true. Thank goodness, her brother and sister didn't fall in love.
"Since I am your older sister, I have a responsibility to educate you."
Before Qi Lin and Chu Rou could finish their intimacy, they heard Chu Rou say these words. She slowly raised her head and looked at Chu Rou with a helpless expression, "Sister, how do you plan to discipline me?"
Qi Lin now has normal hair, normal clothes, and her contact lenses have turned brown. She looks so much better than before.
"You can quit your job at the Mo Group. You won't learn anything there. Go to school."
Chu Rou's expectations of Qi Lin have increased considerably. Before, they were just good friends, but now it's different; Qi Lin is her own younger sister.
"Your foundation is too weak. Go back to school and study systematically."
"Huh?" Qi Lin said with a bitter face, "But my school is just a third-rate university, and it seems like I can't learn anything there."
"I see," Chu Rou said, stroking her chin. "Then prepare for the postgraduate entrance exam. Even if you don't get into a 985 university, you should at least get into a 211 university. You can study management or finance. The Qi family has so many businesses, you should know a little about them."
Chu Rou thought it was feasible. "If Dad comes over tonight, I'll mention it to him. If it doesn't work out, I'll find you a tutor, one-on-one, you have to catch up."
Qi Lin stood there, stunned. What should she do if her older sister didn't want to acknowledge her anymore?
Her body collapsed, and she felt like the sky was falling, but she dared not resist. Her sister was too powerful and terrifying.
Qi Lin is already completely distracted; asking her to take the postgraduate entrance exam would be like taking her life!
Seeing her like this, Chu Rou put her hand on Qi Lin's shoulder and said, "Linlin, do you want to be a parasite in the Qi family for the rest of your life?"
Qi Lin responded, "I don't want to, but I don't necessarily have to go to school to study!"
"You're going to learn by yourself?" Chu Rou shook her head. "You're too slow at learning on your own."
"If you don't understand anything, are you just thinking of relying on a man when you get married? He might sell you out, and you won't even know it; you'll still be helping him count the money!"
"To put it bluntly, like your mother, she's lucky to have met our dad. If it were any other man, he might have been able to swindle the entire Qi family fortune."
"Without our dad, do you think your mom could hold the Qi family together?"
Qi Wende gave Chu Rou a general introduction to Qi Feiyao's character and personality. Chu Rou learned that Qi Feiyao was a pampered young lady who never lifted a finger, and that the entire Qi family was now under Qi Wende's control.
It was only because Old Master Qi had a good eye for talent that he entrusted the Qi family to Qi Wende. If it had been another man, the Qi family might not be in its current state.
Chu Rou's words shocked Qi Lin. She couldn't have imagined these things, let alone her mother.
"Sister, I'll study, I'll take the postgraduate entrance exam, I'll do whatever you say."
