Chapter 16 There is a younger brother
Su Baili walked to the door that the Wang family had prepared for her. She reached out and pushed open the wooden door. The furnishings in the room were simple and warm, with a single bed covered with floral sheets, a log-colored desk and a wardrobe.
This room has good lighting. The sunlight shines through the window onto the ground, forming a golden spot of light.
Su Baili walked to the bed that looked very comfortable, sat down gently, and felt the soft bed beneath her.
She looked around, her eyes finally landing on a photo frame on the desk.
She stood up and walked closer out of curiosity. There seemed to be a family portrait in the frame. Father Wang and Mother Zhao in the photo were smiling brightly, and standing between them was a boy who looked like he was in high school.
Su Baili stared at the photo and pursed her lips. It turned out that there were other children in this family. She didn't know if they could get along well with each other.
At this time, Zhao's mother came in with a glass of water. She saw Su Baili staring at the photo in a daze and quickly explained, "That's your brother, three years younger than you, and now he's in his third year of high school. He wanted to come over to see you today, but we didn't let him come because of the monthly exam."
"Oh." Su Baili didn't know what to say and put down the photo frame.
Zhao Qing thought she was unhappy, and quickly explained, "This photo was also put here by that kid. He wanted you to see what he looks like earlier when you come back. There's no other meaning. When you are free, we can take a family photo together."
"It's okay with me, you don't have to explain." Su Baili smiled and picked up the cup and took a sip of water, which was also a gesture of goodwill.
Zhao's mother was indeed relieved.
She said quickly, "I'm going to buy some groceries now and prepare dinner. Tell me what you like to eat and I'll cook it for you. It's a good opportunity to try your mother's cooking skills."
Facing Zhao Qing's expectant eyes, Su Baili tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Sweet and sour spare ribs?"
When Zhao's mother heard this, she thought of something interesting and laughed happily, "Okay, okay, I'll go buy some ribs right away. By the way, there's a store nearby that sells delicious cakes. Do you want some?"
"Eat!" Su Baili nodded heavily.
Mother Zhao narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Okay, if you are tired, you can rest in the room for a while. No one will come in to disturb you. I will come in and call you after dinner."
"Thank you~"
Mother Zhao looked at her well-behaved daughter in front of her and walked out happily.
Seeing her so happy, Wang's father asked curiously, "What happened? Why are you so happy?"
"Nothing." Zhao's mother shook her head. "Just now I asked Baili what she liked to eat, and she said she liked sweet and sour pork ribs."
"Oh, is that a coincidence? Xiaofeng likes to eat it too."
"Yes, so I asked her if she wanted to eat the small cake from the shop downstairs, and her eyes lit up at that time."
"Sure enough..." The king's father sighed, "I didn't expect that the tastes of the siblings are so similar. On the other hand, Qi Yan..."
Mother Zhao felt a chill in her heart. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "On such a happy day, please don't mention her anymore. What if your daughter hears and starts to think too much about her?"
Today, she was completely heartbroken by Lin Qiyan, and from now on she would just pretend that she didn't have this daughter.
"Okay, I won't say anything. Go downstairs and buy some more vegetables. I will definitely cook a good meal tonight."
"I see. You tell me." Zhao Qing smiled and said, "I'll let the child rest in the house. Don't go in and disturb him if you have nothing to do."
"No, I definitely won't go in." Give the child some space to digest it first.
In the room, Su Baili fell on the soft little bed. If she smelled carefully, she could smell the quilt that had just been dried in the sun. She rubbed her face on the quilt comfortably.
Then she took out her cell phone, curiously put it to her ear, and asked tentatively, "Brother?"
The man's pleasant voice immediately came from the phone, "I'm here."
Su Baili was very happy, knowing that Qi Shenzhi must be waiting on the other end of the phone, and sure enough, he was.
Su Baili didn't know what to say, so she just smiled foolishly and hummed a few times.
Qi Shenzhi laughed softly and said, "Lili is in a good mood?"
Su Baili admitted embarrassedly, "Well..."
Qi Shenzhi asked softly, "Is Lili very satisfied with her biological parents?"
Su Baili turned over and lay on the bed, shaking her feet, "Well... I didn't expect that they didn't abandon me on purpose, and today they are not confused at all, they will stand by me and speak for me."
Qi Shenzhi saw that she was in a very good mood and was very satisfied. "That's good. As long as you are satisfied."
How could he feel at ease letting Su Baili go alone for such a big matter? Naturally, he listened to everything on the phone.
Of course, I also heard the sharp-tongued and scratching sound of my own kitten.
He was very satisfied with Su Baili's fierce counterattack against people she disliked.
That's good. His Lili would never let herself be wronged in anything. He even hoped that she would become more powerful, so powerful that no one would dare to bully her.
After all, why has he worked so hard all these years? Isn't it to give Lili the confidence to act arrogantly?
Of course she is very well behaved and never causes trouble for herself...
On weekdays, he never took advantage of his influence, which made him feel very unsuccessful...
Think about the second generation of other people’s children, and then look at Lili, she is really well behaved.
After Su Baili was happy, she said uncertainly: "Brother, I didn't expect that the Wang family had another child. Do you think my brother will like me?"
Although Su Baili still called them uncle and aunt, this term "brother" clearly showed that she treated the Wang family members as her own family, otherwise she would not be so upset about such a small matter.
Qi Shenzhi comforted her, "Yes, Lili is so cute, no one would dislike Lili."
"But... high school seniors are at a rebellious age. He has lived with Lin Qiyan for so many years. If he suddenly has a new sister, will he..."
Su Baili's lack of confidence was what Qi Shenzhi least wanted to see. He had spent so many years to make her so bright and confident. How could he retreat into his shell because of this incident?
Qi Shenzhi quickly interrupted her, "It won't happen, Lili, don't you believe your brother?"
Su Baili pouted, "But I'm not RMB. As long as I'm a human, there will be people who hate me..."
