"Ahem." Xu Chengzhi stopped his sarcastic remarks, made a fist and cupped it under his lips, pretending to cough, reminding Xu Chenghuan of today's main task.
"Brother, does your throat hurt?" Xu Chenghuan tilted his head and asked with concern.
She had no recollection of what task Xu Chengzhi had assigned her.
Xu Chengzhi's lips twitched involuntarily.
His sister not only traded all her emotional intelligence for beauty, but probably also her IQ?
Uncle Fu was afraid that his young mistress wouldn't immediately understand the young master's hint, so he stepped forward to help, "Young master, the master is waiting for you upstairs. The young mistress is here. Why don't you let the young mistress keep you company and chat for a while?"
After saying that, Uncle Fu kept giving Xu Chenghuan meaningful glances.
With such an obvious hint, Xu Chenghuan finally remembered, slamming his right hand into his left palm, "Ah...right, right, right! Let me take care of my sister-in-law, we'll definitely have a very pleasant chat!"
"Yes, young master, let's go first. The master is still waiting for you upstairs!" Uncle Fu indicated to Xu Chengzhi that they should have some space alone.
Xu Chengzhi followed behind Uncle Fu, feeling vaguely uneasy. He dared not completely trust his unreliable sister.
As he passed by Xu Chenghuan, he bent down, pretending to straighten her collar. He brought his lips close to her ear and whispered, "If you succeed, your monthly allowance will be increased to 20 million. If you fail, your allowance will be gone. Remember that?"
That's ruthless! This is a zero-tolerance policy where only success is allowed!
Xu Chenghuan bit her lower lip and nodded like a chick pecking at rice in the shadow of Xu Chengzhi covering her body. "I remember, how could I dare to joke with my pocket money!"
She volunteered for this task, having learned that her brother and sister-in-law's marriage was not going smoothly, so she used her extra allowance to make a deal.
But who knew that her brother, in order to motivate her, wouldn't even leave her a way out? How could she dare not succeed?
Her limited-edition mini bag is still beckoning to her!
Xu Chengzhi released his hand, which he had been pretending to use to straighten her clothes, and smiled with satisfaction. He put his hands behind his back and followed Uncle Fu upstairs.
Xu Chenghuan and Lin Yang were left alone in the hall, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Sister-in-law, sit down, don't just stand there." Xu Chenghuan sat back on the soft leather sofa and patted the empty seat next to her.
"Okay, thank you." Lin Yang sat down, still keeping a distance between herself and Xu Chenghuan.
She stood up straight, unlike Xu Chenghuan who was so limp she was practically sprawled on the sofa, completely disregarding the fact that she was wearing a short skirt and risked exposing herself.
"Ahem." Lin Yang pointed to Xu Chenghuan's legs, which were still dangling back and forth, and kindly reminded her, "Be careful not to expose yourself."
Xu Chenghuan restrained herself a little, propped herself up on the sofa, her legs still restlessly crossed, and urged Lin Yang, "Sister-in-law, just be at home, relax, sit however you're comfortable."
"No need, thank you. I'm quite comfortable sitting like this." Lin Yang declined Xu Chenghuan's offer, her body stiffening even more.
"..."
"..."
A moment of silence.
This sister-in-law seems a bit difficult to approach.
Xu Chenghuan rested her chin on her hand, looking down as she pondered what topic to start a conversation about.
Xu Chengzhi, who was watching the surveillance footage from upstairs, had a non-static video feed on his computer for more than ten minutes, while Lin Yang and Xu Chenghuan remained completely silent for over ten minutes.
"Grandpa, Uncle Fu, I feel... it's not very reliable to leave my happiness in Cheng Huan's hands." Xu Chengzhi threw down the mouse, his brows furrowed so deeply that they almost formed forehead wrinkles.
Grandpa Xu and Uncle Fu almost nodded in agreement, "Let's wait and see. Chenghuan may seem unreliable, but she's actually quite thoughtful!"
As a result, when he looked at the surveillance camera the next second, what he saw made Grandpa Xu's face instantly fall flat.
