Tu Hengchuan pretended not to see his advances, and more importantly, Tu Sijun didn't feel embarrassed at all, as if she was used to this way of getting along.
Tu Ling didn't have a deep impression of him and gave a curt reply.
"Sister, let me help you with your luggage."
Tu Sijun turned her gaze to Tu Ling, smiled, and stepped forward to take the suitcase from her hands.
Tu Ling subconsciously shoved the suitcase into Shi Xu's hands beside her: "No need to trouble yourself, your brother-in-law will carry it."
Upon hearing her words, Shi Xu's face turned bright red, and he obediently gripped the handle of his suitcase.
Tu Sijun's hand froze in mid-air, and her expression finally turned somewhat unpleasant.
"This must be my little brother, right? Thank you for your help."
Su Ping didn't stand on ceremony with him and placed the bag in his hand without saying a word.
Tu Sijun was forced to take the bag and looked at Su Ping: "And who is this?"
He had been vaguely smelling a strange odor for a while, but thought he was mistaken. It was only when he picked up his bag that he realized where the smell came from.
What's wrong with this woman? Did she put poop in her bag?
"Little brother, I'm your sister-in-law."
After Su Ping finished speaking, she patted his shoulder and showed him eight teeth.
[Host, you have such a vicious heart! You know Tu Sijun has severe mysophobia, yet you still disgust him like this.]
Su Ping felt a sense of satisfaction watching Tu Sijun stretch out her arm as far as possible to keep the bag away from her.
You've broken down, Strong Bro.
"Uncle Nan, how have you been lately?"
Tu Hengchuan walked up to the old man with tears in his eyes and asked him a question.
Uncle Nan was someone who served Tu Hengchuan's grandmother when she was still alive; she watched him grow up.
He knew more or less about the things between Tu Sijun and Tu Hengchuan, but as a servant, there were some things he couldn't say openly, even if he knew them.
Uncle Nan nodded: "Good boy, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
The group walked towards the old house. Upon entering, they could see an open-air lotus pond next to the door. Rainwater dripped from the eaves into the pond, creating ripples.
"You still know how to come back!"
Before the group even reached the lobby, a middle-aged man's stern questioning voice rang out.
Su Ping grasped Tu Hengchuan's hand and found that his hand was unusually cold.
It seems that some people say they don't care about family ties, but they still care a lot in their hearts.
What an awkward young man!
Tu Hengchuan pulled his hand away the next second, and Su Ping looked at him in disbelief.
But after hesitating for two seconds, he said, "You stink."
"Dad, my brother has finally come back, so please don't be angry with him."
Tu Sijun finally couldn't stand it anymore and handed the bag in her hand to the nanny next to her. Hearing Tu Wen's words, she quickly went over and patted his back to help him catch his breath.
Tu Hengchuan watched them both with a cold eye, as if he were an outsider.
Seeing that his son remained unmoved, Tu Wen turned his gaze to Su Ping, who was standing next to him.
After looking him up and down a few times, he gave a disdainful snort.
"You said you found a girlfriend. I was wondering what kind of girl could catch your eye. When you two stand together, doesn't anyone say you're her son?"
Su Ping thought to herself, "Does she really think I'm a pushover just because she doesn't say anything?"
She was about to spit it out when she heard Tu Hengchuan choke back.
"You can have affairs with married women, what right do you have to criticize me?"
Upon hearing this, Tu Wen's face immediately changed, and he stood up angrily: "How dare you speak to your father like that!"
On the contrary, Tu Sijun next to him remained calm, as if what Tu Hengchuan was saying had nothing to do with him.
"That's enough, what kind of talk is this?"
Finally, Old Master Tu, who was sitting in the main seat, couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to stop it.
Although he had stepped down for more than ten years, he still held most of the power in the Tu family. Therefore, no matter how unreliable Tu Wen was, he still dared not be presumptuous in front of the old man.
Noticing a gaze upon her, Su Ping looked up and met Old Master Tu's scrutinizing eyes.
As expected of a seasoned veteran, Su Ping felt completely exposed in front of those eyes.
Old Master Tu withdrew his gaze: "Guests are welcome, Uncle Nan, take them to the guest rooms to rest."
After saying that, he looked at Tu Ling and Tu Hengchuan and said, "You two come to the study."
Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief and followed Uncle Nan upstairs, one after the other, with Shi Xu.
As she passed by Tu Sijun, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she felt Tu Sijun's fingers scratch the back of her hand.
Holy crap!
Su Ping turned around and glared at him, only to see him standing next to Tu Wen with his head down and his expression unchanged.
Did she sense something wrong?
If I'm not mistaken, Tu Sijun is incredibly bold. Doing this in front of several people... what if she gets caught...?
"Miss, the young master's room is right next to yours."
Uncle Nan opened the second room on the right side of the corridor and said to Su Ping.
Su Ping thanked him and went inside, finding the room very clean, indicating it was regularly cleaned.
Half an hour passed, and Su Ping saw that Tu Hengchuan had not replied to her message yet, so she decided to open the door and take a look.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, I saw that figure in a light-colored robe coming up from the bottom of the stairs.
Su Ping's eyes met his, and she quickly slammed the door shut.
What a jinx!
Ten seconds later, Tu Sijun knocked on the door.
"Sister-in-law, open the door."
Su Ping got goosebumps all over. Why did it sound so awkward when he called her "sister-in-law"?
There was no movement at the door in front of her, but Tu Sijun was not in a hurry. She stretched out her finger and knocked on the door intermittently.
"What's up?"
Su Ping opened the door and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Tu Sijun smiled and took out a bag from behind her back: "Sister-in-law, you forgot your bag, so I brought it up for you."
Su Ping looked at the smelly bag and waved her hand: "Here you go."
Just as Su Ping thought he would turn and leave, she was about to close the door when she saw him still supporting the door with one hand.
"Sister-in-law, I've brought this up to you myself, won't you invite me in for a seat?"
Just as Su Ping was about to retort, she heard footsteps on the stairs, along with Tu Ling's voice: "Xiao Chuan, you don't need to take Grandpa's words to heart. He's always like this."
In that brief moment of hesitation, Tu Sijun's subordinate used a clever trick to squeeze in.
The door slammed shut in front of her, and Su Ping, hearing Tu Hengchuan and Tu Ling standing outside the door, laughed in exasperation.
You're so young, why are you playing these kinds of games instead of learning good things?
"Sister-in-law, you don't want my brother to find out I'm in your room, do you?"
Tu Sijun approached Su Ping, but upon smelling the scent emanating from her, she could no longer bear it and stopped in her tracks.
At the same time, Tu Hengchuan's voice rang out from outside the door: "Pingping, I just saw the message you sent me. Are you in the room?"
