Chapter 237 Plead for Me!
"Second brother, could you call eldest brother for me?"
Zhu Jinzhao unconsciously pinched her lips and said somewhat nervously, "My older brother has a bad temper, and I've kept this from him for so long. I'm worried he'll be angry with me."
"Don't worry." Zhu Qian's voice contained a hint of amusement. "With your brother's short temper, he's definitely angry by now."
"..." Zhu Jinzhao pouted, unable to smile at all.
Zhu Qian: "Did your older brother come to interrogate you?"
Zhu Jinzhao shook her head: "Not yet. He hasn't called me or texted me. The silence is unsettling."
"What's the rush?" Zhu Qian was still laughing. "Although my brother has a bad temper, he's not some monster. At most, he'll drag you into his study and scold you a bit, he won't eat you up."
"No, it won't be that simple." Zhu Jinzhao was pessimistic. "I have a feeling that my older brother will definitely skin me alive."
Zhu Qian: "Hiss... How can it be so scary?"
Zhu Jinzhao muttered to herself, "It's really that scary..."
"What?" Zhu Qian didn't hear clearly.
"N-nothing..." Zhu Jinzhao casually brushed it off, then immediately changed the subject, "Second brother, does third brother know about this?"
Zhu Qian: "Your third brother is training and probably doesn't know yet. If he did, he would definitely call you."
Zhu Jinzhao: "Oh..."
Shi Jing walked over with a cup of fruit tea and quietly fed it to Zhu Jinzhao.
Zhu Jinzhao's eyes lit up, and he immediately opened his mouth, put the straw in, and took a big gulp.
"Second brother, are you going to agree to what I just said?"
"Sigh..." Zhu Qian sighed, "Yes, of course I'll agree. After all, you're my sister. I'll call my older brother right now and ask him to go easy on you and not beat you up."
Zhu Jinchao, pushing his luck, said, "Then why don't you call Third Brother while you're at it, and ask him to plead for me too?"
Zhu Qian: "Okay, Second Brother will go right away."
"Thank you, Second Brother!" Zhu Jinzhao finally managed a smile.
Zhu Qian: "No need to thank me. As long as you're alright, your second brother is willing to do anything for you."
Zhu Jinzhao: "Hmm!"
"What, worried your older brother will punish you?"
Only after Zhu Jinzhao hung up the phone did Shi Jing dare to speak.
Zhu Jinzhao put away her phone, took another sip of fruit tea from his hand, and mumbled, "Yeah! My older brother has a terrible temper. I kept such a big thing from him, he'll definitely punish me! I have to find outside help."
Shi Jing doesn't like fruit tea, but seeing that Zhu Jinzhao was enjoying it so much, she bit her straw and took a couple of sips herself.
"Since you've asked your second and third brothers, why don't you also ask your eldest sister to put in a good word for you?"
"Big sister?" Zhu Jinzhao looked at Shi Jing. "You mean Zhu Mingyue?"
Shi Jing: "Yes, isn't she your sister?"
Zhu Jinzhao stroked his chin and thought for a moment: "Although I have never acknowledged her as my sister, if she is willing to plead for me, I think I can still call her 'elder sister'."
Shi Jing raised an eyebrow and smiled: "She's already willing to cover for you so you can go out and have fun, so she'll definitely be willing to plead for you too. You should send her a message quickly and ask her to go with your second and third brothers to help calm your eldest brother down beforehand."
"Okay!" Zhu Jinzhao hurriedly opened his phone, found Zhu Mingyue's WeChat account, and sent her a message.
—Is Mingyue there?
Zhu Mingyue replied instantly.
—Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will be here for the next few decades.
Zhu Jinzhao: Hehe, I'd like to ask you for a favor, is that okay?
Zhu Mingyue: Do you want me to plead with your elder brother for you?
Before Zhu Jinzhao could even explain what he was busy with, Zhu Mingyue had already guessed it perfectly.
Zhu Jinzhao: Wow, you're so smart!
Zhu Mingyue: Isn't this a well-known fact?
"How narcissistic," Shi Jing said with a hint of disdain, taking a sip of fruit tea. "This is the first time I've met someone more narcissistic than me."
"Tsk..." Zhu Jinzhao glared at him, "I won't allow you to disobey my eldest sister now!"
"Okay, okay." Shi Jing raised his hands in surrender. "I was wrong. I won't disobey your eldest sister... no, our eldest sister."
"Hmm~~" Zhu Jinzhao admired his awareness.
—Mingyue is the smartest! So could you please plead for me? I'm really scared of my older brother punishing me!
Zhu Mingyue: Sure. But you have to treat me to hot pot, and you also have to tell me the gossip about you and Shi Jing.
Zhu Jinzhao: I'll treat you to ten hot pot meals! But as for gossip, there probably won't be any, because I'm already with him.
"Wow, are you going to introduce me to your parents so soon?" Shi Jing touched his hair, his lips curling up uncontrollably.
"..." Zhu Jinzhao glanced at him, "Don't you two know each other? Do I need to introduce you?"
Shi Jing: "She knows Shi Jing, not Zhu Jinzhao's boyfriend! They're not the same."
"Oh..." Zhu Jinzhao was busy checking Zhu Mingyue's messages and gave a perfunctory reply.
"..."
Shi Jing's expression was like that of a resentful husband.
——！！！！
——！！！！！
Zhu Mingyue's message was simple: two simple yet emotionally charged exclamation marks.
Zhu Jinzhao: What's wrong?
Zhu Mingyue: When did this happen?
Wishing you well today: The night before last.
Zhu Mingyue: Are you really together?
Zhu Jinzhao: Yes.
"Chao Chao, let me say a few words." Seeing that Zhu Mingyue seemed somewhat skeptical, Shi Jing was eager to try and establish his own legitimacy.
Zhu Jinzhao handed him the phone: "Tell me."
"Ahem!" He cleared his throat and sent a voice message to Zhu Mingyue.
—"Hello, Sister Mingyue."
Zhu Mingyue: ...
Zhu Mingyue: Why do I feel a little nauseous?
Shi Jing: "Did you eat too much at lunch?"
Zhu Mingyue: ...Get out of here and give the phone back to Chaochao.
I hope you get your phone back today.
—I'm back.
Zhu Mingyue: I will plead for you, don't worry.
Wishing you a happy day: Thank you, bright moon! (kiss)
Zhu Mingyue: Now that we're together, let's have a proper talk. If my eldest brother doesn't agree, I'll team up with my second and third brothers to find a way to get it done for you.
Zhu Jinchao: "Yay! Thank you, Sister Mingyue!"
Zhu Mingyue: (Pouting)
"Done!" Zhu Jinzhao snapped his fingers, his eyes crinkling with laughter.
"Done!" Shi Jing mimicked her voice and reached out to pinch the tip of her nose.
"It's okay if I can't handle it, I'll personally subdue your older brother."
Zhu Jinzhao: "Hmm!"
"now."
After finishing her work, Yang Min walked up to Zhu Jinchao with a cup of coffee and asked, "Are you afraid of your older brother?"
Zhu Jinzhao's eyes widened: "I'm scared! He can be really fierce when he gets angry!"
Yang Min frowned, looking thoughtful: "...So how do you plan to explain to him that you snuck out to play?"
