After a long silence, Song Lan continued, "Actually, from the very beginning when I met Han Bailan through you and learned that she was my future sister-in-law, I felt that she was not good enough for you. Whether it was her appearance or her temperament, she was not good enough in my eyes."
"Silly girl, don't worry. Your older brother isn't some immature kid who would overthink every little thing."
Song Qingbin smiled slightly and said, "Besides, I didn't fall deeply in love with her. Or to be more precise, I only had some good feelings for her, but those feelings were almost gone the moment she revealed her personality flaws."
In addition, she repeatedly took the initiative to break off the engagement with me, and said those derogatory things to my face. If I really married such a woman, it would probably become a nightmare for the rest of my life!
Fortunately, she was capable and managed to get the engagement called off smoothly for our family.
"That's good."
Song Lan smiled, her lips curving upwards, her beautiful eyebrows slightly raised. She asked, "But, doesn't Big Brother care about his reputation?"
"No one is shameless. After all, everyone has their own thoughts. If you are shameless, wouldn't you be a scoundrel or a shameless person to the core?"
But in some matters, there is a type of person who doesn't care about saving face, such as when their bottom line is crossed, and I guess I'm one of those people.
Therefore, you really don't need to worry about me. Compared to being gossiped about and losing face, I don't want to actually be cuckolded!
When he said these words, Song Qingbin appeared relaxed, and in Song Lan's view, there was no trace of insincerity in them.
She felt relieved and completely put her mind at ease with Song Qingbin, saying with a smile, "Big brother has a great attitude, keep it up!"
She paused for a moment, then added, "My brother and I share the same view. When faced with certain situations, face doesn't matter. As long as we have a clear conscience, let others say what they want. It won't cost us anything."
Upon hearing this, Song Qingbin's dark eyes lit up with a smile. He said, "From the first time we met, I knew you were a magnanimous girl."
"Then you're wrong!"
A sly glint flashed in Song Lan's eyes as she said, "While I can be shameless in some things, I can also be extremely petty in others."
"I understand what you mean."
Song Qingbin smiled indulgently: "It's good to be open-minded, but if that open-mindedness turns into excessive generosity, it could become a disaster for those around you!"
"Mom used to say I was good with words, but now I know, compared to you, big brother, I'm just a nobody!"
Seeing the sly smile in Song Lan's eyes, Song Qingbin burst out laughing: "In our family, I'm the worst at talking. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mom, Dad, and my younger brother."
"Sister! Sister, brother! I have something to tell you!"
Before he even arrived, Song Guoqing's voice had already drifted from the courtyard gate into the main room.
"How old are you? Can't you be more mature?!"
Seeing Song Guoqing run into the main room, Song Qingbin frowned and couldn't help but say something.
"Big brother, don't you know how old I am?"
Sitting on the bamboo chair, Song Guoqing deliberately misinterpreted Song Qingbin's meaning and laughed heartlessly.
Is that what I meant?
Song Qingbin glanced at Song Guoqing and said, "You'll be fourteen when the new year comes. You're not a three-year-old anymore. You need to gradually learn to be more mature in your words and actions."
“I didn’t see my second brother being much more mature when he was my age. And now that he’s over twenty, he still speaks and acts the same way he did before he was twenty.”
Song Guoqing muttered to himself.
"Can't you learn something good instead of trying to be like your second brother?"
Song Qingbin's tone was somewhat disappointed.
Song Lan simply listened with a smile, without interrupting.
“Brother, different people have different personalities. You are steady by nature, that’s your characteristic. As for me, can’t I be a little more unconventional?”
Hearing Song Guoqing say that, Song Qingbin rolled his eyes at him and said, "I wonder who used to be, acting like a shy little wife whenever he spoke to someone." Lively? That brat only seems lively in front of his little sister; before, he was just a shy and introverted guy.
Of course, his earlier remark to the other party to be more composed was just a casual remark.
Even so, it cannot be denied that it has a slightly didactic tone.
reason?
It's very simple; rushing up to someone is, in his view, impolite.
"What do you mean, 'shy like a little wife'? Dude, can you stop insulting me like that?!"
Song Guoqing blushed and stared wide-eyed as he said, "I... I used to be just a little quiet and introverted, but as I grow up, my personality gradually changes. Isn't that normal?!"
The boy shifted his gaze to Song Lan and asked, "Sister, do you think what I said is right?"
"right!"
Song Lan's beautiful eyes curved like a crescent moon. She nodded and then smiled at Song Qingbin, saying, "Big brother, I'm a sunny young man. Please don't say he looks like a little wife."
"Big brother, did you hear that? My sister said I'm a sunny young man. If you say I'm like a shy little wife, then I'll... I'll get my sister to stand up for me. Let's see what you do then!"
Song Guoqing said smugly, and upon hearing this, Song Qingbin curled his lips and said, "Your sister is my little sister, does she think she can beat me up?"
"That's hard to say. My sister is incredibly strong. If you try to bully the younger ones, she might actually hit you to teach you what 'love for the young' really means!"
Song Guoqing became more and more pleased with himself as he spoke.
Song Qingbin continued to tease the boy: "Look how arrogant you are. I don't believe your sister would do that."
