Chapter 18 The Eldest Princess
Chu Huai was a seventeen-year-old boy. He and Chu Xiang shared the same hobby: playing video games. After Chu Xiang took him out for a meal, they returned to the apartment. The two of them snuggled on the sofa, each playing games on their phones.
Chu Huai played jungle, and Chu Xiang played support for him. But Chu Xiang's skills, if not superb, were at least terrible. She was the typical type of person who was bad at the game but loved to play. If anyone dared to criticize her, Chu Huai would immediately yell back at them with the sound of his pentakill.
Chu Xiang felt that raising this younger brother was worthwhile; it was truly worth sharing the leftovers with him when she was little.
Chu Xiang, playing a support character, could attach herself directly to the jungler. Chu Huai was currently roaming the enemy jungle, and being bored, she stuck out her foot and kicked Chu Huai beside her, saying, "How's your studying going lately?"
Chu Huai looked at his phone without looking up, "It's fine."
Chu Xiang glanced at Chu Huai and said, "Your sister went to the best university in the country. Don't embarrass me."
Chu Huai's scalp tightened at the mention of studying. "I know, sis, but why don't you use a skill to scout the bushes for me!"
He was almost ambushed by the two people on the other side just now.
Chu Xiang died on the spot. Chu Huai gritted his teeth and said, "Watch me avenge you!"
With a series of skillful maneuvers, he pulled off an incredible comeback with only a sliver of health left, prompting the opposing team to type "666" several times.
Chu Huai raised an eyebrow, quite pleased with himself.
Chu Xiang suddenly felt that things couldn't go on like this. In the original story, the Chu family was bankrupted by the protagonist's halo, and of course, Chu Huai didn't have a good ending either.
After the game ended, Chu Xiang snatched Chu Huai's phone away. "Alright, stop playing. You should study properly. If there's anything you don't understand, I'll teach you."
Chu Huai was stunned. He had come here to avoid tutoring, but he never expected that his sister would force him to study.
"Sis, are you kidding me? Didn't you promise to take me out to play these next few days? You didn't say I had to study!"
Chu Xiang put on a serious face, "How can you become successful if you don't study hard? How can you inherit our father's estate if you don't become successful? If you can't inherit his estate, how am I supposed to live a life of ease and comfort in the future?"
Chu Huai's eyes immediately lit up with gossip. "Our dad's not doing well anymore? I knew it! Today he's taking female celebrities on cruises, tomorrow he's taking supermodels to islands. He's so old, doesn't he care about his health?"
Chu Xiang said solemnly, "I don't know if Dad is still capable now, but what I'm thinking is, if you don't work hard, what if one day he brings home a young wife who wants to have a third child? Then all our inheritance will have to be divided among the children born to other women!"
Chu Huai looked doubtful. "With his weak kidneys, how could he possibly have three children?"
Chu Xiang tapped Chu Huai on the head, "What if! With technology so advanced these days, who knows if he'll be driven by lust and coaxed by his little wife into getting IVF!"
Chu Huai had never thought about this issue before, but now that Chu Xiang brought it up, he suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.
When Chu Sheng divorced his wife, Chu Xiang was only six years old and Chu Huai was five. From that time on, Chu Xiang always instilled in Chu Huai the idea that he should work hard in the future and take full control of the Chu family's assets.
From now on, Chu Huai will have to go to the company every day to discuss business, creating conditions for Chu Xiang to sit at home and live a lazy life playing on her phone and watching TV all day.
Chu Huai felt that Chu Xiang's words made a lot of sense. Old Man Chu's property should belong to him and his sister. How could they give it to others?
To motivate Chu Huai, Chu Xiang casually made up a story, "Isn't Dad away on a business trip abroad and hasn't come back yet? Who knows if he's out there looking for a pretty woman? What if he comes back with a pregnant wife!"
Chu Huai's expression was solemn.
Chu Xiang patted her younger brother on the shoulder, "My foolish brother, you need to take this matter seriously."
"Sister," Chu Huai asked seriously, "Do you think it's too late for us to find a way to get Dad sterilized? For example, if he was in a car accident and the doctor asks us to sign some papers, I could say I'd like to suggest he get sterilized at the same time..."
Chu Xiang looked at her younger brother with a shocked expression, "How could you come up with such a despicable... cough, brilliant idea!"
Chu Huai said, "I heard that's what the Li family does."
Chu Xiang had heard of the Li family, but she didn't know anyone in the Li family or was familiar with their situation. She continued to persuade Chu Huai, "No matter what, only when you become strong can you kill all the demons and monsters in the womb. Think about it, when I get married in the future, if they know that I have a very powerful younger brother, my in-laws will definitely not dare to treat me badly."
Chu Huai thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense. It was already embarrassing to have a father like Chu Sheng, so he couldn't let his sister not have a respectable family member, right?
Chu Huai immediately felt the weight of his responsibility. He grasped Chu Xiang's hand and said solemnly, "Sister, don't worry. After I inherit Dad's estate, I will definitely make it bigger and stronger, so you can be a happy princess!"
Chu Xiang said, moved, "That's right, young people should have such ambition!"
On a foreign island, Chu Sheng, who was lounging on a deck chair watching bikini-clad beauties on the beach, suddenly sneezed.
Chu Huai stayed with Chu Xiang for two days, during which Chu Xiang spent those two days doing almost brainwashing-like ideological work on him. The implication was that he should study hard and never let his and his sister's inheritance go to others. Chu Xiang's lazy life for the rest of her days depended on this younger brother.
Chu Huai immediately wrote down a study schedule to show that he would definitely listen to his sister.
After seeing Chu Huai off, Chu Xiang also began her university military training.
Even if the girls do their best to protect themselves from the sun, they will inevitably get tanned. Once or twice, Chu Xiang met Meng Qiyue in the cafeteria. Meng Qiyue also looked like she had been tortured and was listless. The two "best friends" ignored each other and pretended not to see each other.
After all, they were exhausted, both physically and mentally, and had no energy left to play the game of scheming and backstabbing "plastic besties".
Chu Xiang was admitted to the Chinese Language and Literature Class 1, which had more girls than boys. Without a doubt, Chu Xiang was the most popular person in the class. After all, she had already become a minor sensation on the school forum on the day of registration.
Some boys in her class, under the guise of being classmates, wanted to get her contact information.
Chu Xiang blinked and said innocently, "I'm in the class group chat. If you want to contact me, you can say so in the class group chat."
The boy wisely backed away, and thanks to him, the other boys who were itching to ask for his contact information temporarily lost their courage.
