After returning to the room, Su Man hid her cell phone in the gap between the mattresses. Seeing that it would not be discovered, she nodded with satisfaction.
Just as I put it away, I heard a commotion outside. "Look at the mess you've made here. Clean it up!"
At the entrance, Qu Zhengzhi saw Qu Ziqian sitting among scattered clothes as soon as he returned home, and he was furious.
Qu Ziqian also felt aggrieved, "Dad! Mom only buys clothes for Xiaoman and not for me. She's so partial!"
In the past, Qu Zhengzhi might have tried to comfort her, but right now, he was just trying to show some kindness to Su Man. He glanced at Su Man standing at the stairs and scolded her, "What are you doing? You have so many clothes! The cloakroom is almost full. All you do is ask for clothes. You don't even study and practice the piano so hard. Go do your homework."
Qu Ziqian's coquettishness failed, and she stamped her feet in anger, "Dad is partial too! You all like my brother, not me!"
After shouting this, Qu Ziqian ran away crying, but Qu Zhengzhi didn't take it to heart. Instead, he kindly invited Su Man to go out for dinner together.

In the restaurant
Qu Zhengzhi arranged for Su Man to sit on his right and picked up a piece of food for her with chopsticks. "We are a family from now on. Don't be restrained. Eat more."
"Okay, thank you uncle." Su Man said timidly.
Qu Ziqian on the opposite side bit the end of her chopsticks and glared at Su Man fiercely, but she dared not say anything.
After all, she was his daughter, so Qu Zhengzhi also picked up some food for Qu Ziqian, "You like this cherry meat, eat more."
"Thank you, Dad."
Qu Ziqian was happy and looked at Su Man proudly, as if to say, you see, dad still loves me more.
Su Man was not bothered by this childish desire to compare, but seeing Qu Ziqian's love of comparison gave her some other ideas.
When Qu Zhengzhi was picking up some food, he noticed the empty chair and asked, "Where are your brother and mother? Why don't you come over to eat?"
Qu Ziqian chewed her food and mumbled, "Mom said my brother has an interview next week, so she's taking him to practice piano."
"You can't practice the piano without eating. Go, call them over."
...
Qu Ziqian went to call for a long time before Zhang Lili brought Qu Zixiong over.
Qu Zixiong's face immediately fell when he saw Su Man also at the dinner table, "Who told you to sit at the table?"
Upon hearing this, Su Man uneasily put down her chopsticks and was about to get up from the bed, but was stopped by Qu Zhengzhi as soon as she moved.
"Okay, Zixiong, now that Xiaoman is here, she's your sister just like Ziqian. Boys, don't be so stingy."
Qu Zixiong looked disgusted and said, "Then I won't sit with her."
Zhang Lili put her arm around his shoulders and said kindly, "Okay, okay, then you and mommy sit over here."
After caressing Qu Zixiong, Zhang Lili looked at Qu Ziqian and said, "Ziqian, sit over here."
Now Qu Ziqian was also unhappy, "Why should I sit over there? I won't go."
"Hey, you should be more sensible. Your brother has been practicing the piano until now and hasn't eaten yet. Unlike you, you watch TV as soon as you get home and don't even do your homework."
"But I..."
"Hurry up, Ziqian, sit over there." Qu Zhengzhi also spoke.
Qu Ziqian's face turned red with frustration, and she moved away with a thud.
At a close distance, Su Man could see Qu Ziqian's nostrils growing bigger and bigger, and she was obviously extremely angry.
Although changing seats wasn't a big deal, this kind of thing happened almost every day. If this continued for a long time, Qu Ziqian would naturally feel dissatisfied.
The word "partiality" was not only on her lips, but also engraved in her heart.
Adding fuel to the fire, Zhang Lili started talking about Qu Zixiong's interview as soon as she sat down.
"Teacher Qiao Yi said she saw Zixiong's performance video online, so she decided to give Zixiong an interview opportunity."
Speaking of this, Zhang Lili's eyebrows were dancing with joy. "If we can get this tour opportunity, our Zixiong will have a bright future! I heard that Teacher Joey will not only tour domestically, but has also been invited to perform at Vienna's Golden Hall. Just think about our Zixiong, who can perform in Vienna before he's even ten years old..."
Imagining that scene, Zhang Lili couldn't close her mouth. "Zixiong will become the youngest pianist by then. What a proud thing that will be!"
Qu Zhengzhi was also moved by the beautiful scene Zhang Lili described and nodded. "Indeed, if Zixiong's name gets out, it will be even more powerful for us to promote the brand."
"Of course not. By then, no one in the entire industry will dare to compete with us, let alone the Fu family."
Zhang Lili's eyes became enthusiastic. "Son, Mom has already asked for leave for you. You should practice piano at home this week. You must get this place."
"I know. Aren't you tired of hearing me say it so many times?" Qu Zixiong looked impatient.
Although Qu Zixiong acted very cold, Zhang Lili still smiled and said, "Okay, okay, our Zixiong has never made mom worry. Mom's friends are so envious of him."
"snort!"
As she was speaking, Qu Ziqian threw down her chopsticks and ran away.
"We haven't finished eating yet, what are you doing?"
Zhang Lili was unable to stop Qu Ziqian. As she watched her run upstairs, she frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "This child is not good at studying, but has a bad temper. Forget it, just ignore her."
She added another bowl of soup to Qu Zixiong, "Come, Zixiong, drink a bowl of pork rib soup to replenish your nutrition so that we can continue practicing the piano later."
Qu Zhengzhi also said, "Zixiong has been practicing piano hard these days. Tell Aunt Zhou later and ask her to make more nutritious dishes to nourish Zixiong."
