Qu Ziqian's eyes were red, tears were falling, and she couldn't say a word.
Even so, Qu Zixiong continued to add fuel to the fire. He held up the neglected report card and sneered, "Twenty-eighth? If I were ranked that high in the class, I'd be dead. And you're still bragging about it? Tsk tsk, how shameful."
After saying that, he threw the report card to the ground as if it were trash.
Such arrogance was unbearable even for Su Man, a bystander, let alone Qu Ziqian. Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, she burst into a roar, "Shut up!"
Qu Ziqian stared at Qu Zixiong, her chest heaving violently. "It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, Mom and Dad wouldn't have treated me like this. You arrogant idiot! I hate you so much!"
Qu Zixiong was also getting angry after being scolded, and his words became more and more harsh. "If you have the ability, you can be like me, get the first place in the exam, and work with the best piano teacher. But do you have that ability? You are so lazy every day. I feel ashamed to have a sister like you."
"Zixiong."
Qu Zhengzhi warned in a tone that although he also felt that Qu Zixiong's words were hurtful, but considering tomorrow's interview, he did not reprimand him. He just said lightly, "You are a brother. It's good to want to help your sister, but be careful with your words."
Qu Ziqian still had illusions when Qu Zhengzhi just started speaking, but when she heard Qu Zhengzhi defending Qu Zixiong, the light in her eyes completely went out, and the resentment she felt was far greater than the sadness.
Hateful gazes moved across everyone's faces, and finally fell on the "culprit" Qu Zixiong.
It was all his fault! He had snatched away all the love and care that belonged to Mom and Dad, and had ridiculed and mocked her more than once. It was all his fault!
Unlike the furious Qu Ziqian, Qu Zixiong was now leisurely drinking the chicken soup Zhang Lili had personally served him. Seeing Qu Ziqian still staring at him, he said impatiently, "Okay, at worst, I can help you later. But I can't guarantee that I can teach you. After all, you can't compare to me."
Zhang Lili smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Zi Qian is your sister, there's no mistake about that."
After saying that, she urged Qu Ziqian, "Look, brother is so good to you and wants to teach you to read. Don't be unreasonable and thank brother quickly."
Qu Ziqian looked at Zhang Lili and Qu Zixiong coldly, her face as cold as ice.
If Zhang Lili didn't focus all her attention on Qu Zixiong as she did now, but instead carefully observed Qu Ziqian's expression at the moment, she would definitely find that her face was filled with a viciousness that was inconsistent with her age.
However, tomorrow afternoon would be a crucial turning point in Qu Zixiong's life, and the beginning of her own glory, so she really had no time to think about anything else. Furthermore, in her eyes, Qu Zixi was just having a childish temper, and it would be fine after a while, so there was no need to take it too seriously.
Facing Zhang Lili's urging, Qu Ziqian remained silent, the emotions in her eyes kept changing, and finally, she calmed down.
She suddenly calmed down, no longer as angry as before, but looked at Qu Zixiong steadily and whispered, "Thank you, brother."
This sudden obedience was extremely unusual in the eyes of Su Man, who had been carefully observing Qu Ziqian's mood swings. But Zhang Lili didn't think much of it and said casually, "Okay, okay, we're siblings now, so we have to take care of each other from now on. Stop messing around and eat."
Qu Ziqian sat down again. During the rest of the meal, she hardly spoke a word and ate in silence.
Because it was a celebration banquet, Aunt Zhou also made a lot of desserts and fried foods that children like. Just when Su Man wanted to pick up a piece of cheesecake nearby, Qu Zixiong also took a fancy to it and picked it up directly.
Su Man didn't have time to put away her chopsticks and accidentally touched his chopsticks. This touch, which lasted less than a second, made Qu Zixiong furious.
With a "bang", Qu Zixiong threw the chopsticks down.
Zhang Lili, who was always keeping an eye on her son's movements, asked with concern, "What's wrong, son? Why aren't you eating? Tomorrow is your big day, you can't eat so little. Come on, be good and pick up your chopsticks."
"don't want!"
Qu Zixiong threw away the pitiful pair of chopsticks again, "They're so dirty! I don't need them!"
Zhang Lili was confused. "Where is it dirty? Isn't it fine?"
"How can you not be dirty after being touched by dirty things! If I get stained with dirty things and get into trouble, how can I participate in interviews and go on tour!" Qu Zixiong said while glaring at Su Man with undisguised disgust in his eyes.
However, when Qu Zixi, who was sitting next to Su Man, heard Qu Zixiong's words, her eyes flickered slightly, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Oh my dear, don't say anything unlucky. Come on, bah, bah, bah, tomorrow will be smooth sailing for us. Nothing bad will happen to us."
Zhang Lili handed Qu Zixiong a new pair of chopsticks, wanting him to continue eating. But Qu Zixiong refused, crossing his arms and saying arrogantly, "What's the point of getting new ones? They'll get dirty anyway."
Zhang Lili put her arm around Qu Zixiong's shoulders and coaxed him, "Grandfather, what are you going to do to get ready for dinner?"
"let her go."
Qu Zixiong raised his chin and looked towards Su Man.
"Okay, it's just a meal. We won't lose any meat if we eat together." Qu Zhengzhi said with a straight face.
Although the household owner had spoken, Qu Zixiong still refused to give in. "If she were here, I wouldn't eat!"
Zhang Lili was also angry, but she was angry at Qu Zhengzhi. "What's wrong with Xiaoman skipping a meal? Isn't it common to go hungry in an orphanage? Zixiong has an interview tomorrow. I think you've pissed him off. What if he doesn't perform well?"
"this..."
At this point, Qu Zhengzhi was also shaken. Although the Qu family needed Su Man, nothing was more important than Qu Zixiong's matter at the moment. After some consideration, he didn't care anymore and compromised, "Whatever you want, it's just a meal."
