"Why? Did he offend you?" Susie instinctively retorted. "Even if he offended you, he didn't offend me, so why shouldn't I play with him?"
Su Lei, with a stern, old-fashioned expression, said, "Qin Huan's father is a lunatic, and he's no better. You're not allowed to play with him!"
"Hey! Su Lei, I don't like hearing you say that!" Su Qianqian crossed her arms, glared at Su Lei, and said fiercely, "According to your logic, Su Quan isn't a good person either."
Besides, Su Quan is a scumbag, so neither of us are any good either.
"In that case, maybe our older brother wouldn't have taken us in because our dad was a bad person, and maybe Little Softie and Little Brother wouldn't have stopped playing with us because of that, right?"
Su Lei's brows furrowed tightly.
In fact, he had never won an argument with Su Xixi since childhood. It was only in the last few months, when he was with his brothers, that he was able to use his right to supervise Su Xixi's studies to threaten her.
Su Lei thought about it seriously for a while and decided that it was better not to go against Su Qianqian directly, so as not to backfire.
He took a breath and said, "I'm not saying you can't play with Qin Huan, I'm saying you can't play with Qin Huan now. When you grow up and turn eighteen, I won't care about you anymore."
"Su Lei—" Su Xixi's little face darkened, and she became even more unhappy. "It's one thing for my brothers to discriminate against us because we're young, since they're older. You're only a few minutes older than me, so why are you discriminating against me because I'm young?"
Su Lei: ...
Is he discriminating against her because she is young?
Qin Huan is no different from Gu Chen; they both have ulterior motives, and Qin Huan might not even be as capable as Gu Chen!
He frowned and stubbornly said, "I can't explain this to a blockhead like you. Anyway, as long as you still consider me your brother, you're not allowed to play with him!"
Su Xixi originally wanted to argue her point again, but Su Lei had pulled out all the stops, and she couldn't possibly sever ties with Su Lei for the sake of a little mute girl.
Sullenly, she cupped her face in her hands, obediently sat down in her seat, and muttered under her breath, "She doesn't have her brothers' abilities, but she's learned their dictatorial ways. What a jerk!"
At this moment, Su Xiaowu seemed to be deep in thought. After a moment, her eyes lit up. "I remember now!"
The other three people in the seats were startled by his sudden remark.
"Big brother, what did you remember?" Little Ruanruan blinked her big eyes and asked the big brother in a puzzled manner.
“I remembered Lei’er’s words, and they sounded so familiar,” Su Xiaowu said. “The last time I spoke with Tingting on the phone, she also said that her father wouldn’t let her call me anymore and that she could only call me after she turned eighteen.”
“Tingting?” Su Xixi couldn’t remember who this name represented at all.
Little Ruanruan poked her older sister's waist with her little finger, raised her eyebrows at her sister, and said, "It's that girl, the one whose skirt was lifted and whose hair was cut by the young man."
The young man also said that the young woman later cut her hair and didn't look good anymore, so he didn't like her anymore.
So you're still making phone calls even after arriving in Beijing?
Su Xiaowu realized she had let something slip, and her pointed ears instantly turned red. While opening a mobile game to cover it up, she muttered, "She's the one who wanted to call me, not me calling her."
Moreover, her father forbids her from calling me anymore, and we haven't spoken for a week.
Susie, sensing the spice of gossip, immediately shifted her attention, raised her eyebrows, and said mischievously, "Haven't spoken for a week, and you remember it so clearly, little brother!"
The blush that had been on Su Xiaowu's pointed ears spread out and soon turned her entire face red.
Xiao Ruanruan could even hear his heartbeat, but his eyes were fixed on his phone, looking completely absorbed in playing the game.
Little Ruanruan felt she couldn't let her older sister continue to tease the little brother, otherwise he might get so embarrassed that his capillaries would burst.
She pulled her sister to look out the car window, her little face filled with worry, and said, "I don't know how my brother and the others will stop Qin Shan..."
"How about... we sneak down and take a look?" Su Xixi immediately suggested.
"Su Xixi, sit still. Do you think the bodyguards your older brother left outside the car are just for show?" Su Lei said, frowning.
Just as Su Xiaowu breathed a sigh of relief, he skillfully operated the game and said, "Actually, I think that Qin Shan, although cunning, is just a pushover. Although Boss Su is not very good, he is more than capable of dealing with this kind of pushover."
As soon as he finished speaking, the once quiet and oppressive courtyard suddenly became lively.
The Qin family members all wore mourning clothes and came out from inside. Qin Guanlin and Pei Liuxuan helped Old Madam Qin and followed at the back of the Qin family.
The clear sound of a wooden fish came from inside.
Little Ruanruan couldn't wait to push open the car door and pounce on the big brother who came out. Su Qianqian, Su Xiaowu, and Su Lei also rushed over.
Holding Xiao Ruanruan in one arm and leading Su Qianqian by the other, Su Yiqing walked back into the courtyard.
Qin You's wife, Han Ya, brought out a set of mourning clothes for each of them to wear.
After searching through the crowd, Su Xixi couldn't find Qin Huan. She put her little hand on Xiao Ruanruan's shoulder and looked into the living room in the courtyard.
All the furniture in the living room had been moved out, and in the center of the living room was a somewhat eerie-looking coffin. Old Master Qin's body had been moved into the coffin.
