Chapter 221: Going On and On

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Big Sister is right. You need to study hard, not just for yourself but for us too! Su Qing said.

Big Sister works so hard to earn money to put you through school, Su Xiu interjected, saying, Don't let her efforts go to waste by not taking your studies seriously.

Little Sister Su felt even more ashamed.

Sixth Sister was too embarrassed to bully Little Sister Su, who was receiving a dressing down. It was too tragic! Too embarrassing!

It was one thing for her eldest sister to scold Little Sister Su, but for Second Sister and Third Sister to do the same

Alright, that's enough. Stop looking so glum. Su Wen felt bad for ruining the mood at the table. Perhaps she should not have been so stern What were they going to do with all the leftover dumplings?

Su Wen took note of her mistake and vowed to leave such things out of mealtimes.

Su Wen saw herself as an open-minded, modern surrogate parent to her siblings. Dressing down her younger sister at the dining table was not something she should do.

Alright.

Su Wen thought she had ruined the mood completely, but, to her surprise, her four younger sisters resumed their meal as if nothing had happened. Even Little Sister Su dried her tears and ate her dumplings, seemingly unaffected by her scolding a short while after.

Only she seemed to have reservations.

Ah. She must have been overthinking things again.

Don't forget to clean up the pots and bowls when you're done. Have a bath and go to bed early. I'll go and see why Hengyang isn't back yet. Was Hengyang at Li Youcai's place?

Su Wen excused herself and exited the house, heading toward Li Youcai's place.

Halfway there, she met Zhou Hengyang. She thought she might have had to witness a tear-jerking scene of Li Xue sending him off, the two of them speaking intimately in each other's warm embrace.

Perhaps it was for the best that a scene straight out of a cheesy romance novel was not what she met.

Are you disappointed? Zhou Hengyang reeked of alcohol. The moment he got close to Su Wen, the smell assaulted her senses, forcing her to take an involuntary step back.

I don't understand what you're saying.

Zhou Hengyang closed the distance in a single stride. I said you looked disappointed.

Disappointed! Well the scene she had expected to see, which would have played out in a cheap romance novel, had not materialized, so there was that. However, Su Wen was not about to voice her thoughts unless she wanted to make life more difficult by stepping on Hengyang's toes.

You're mistaken. Su Wen refused to admit anything of that sort.

However, how could she possibly fool Zhou Hengyang with her petty tricks? Maybe it was the alcohol in his system, but Hengyang was particularly talkative, unlike his usual cool reserve.

Are you disappointed because Li Xue didn't send me off?

Su Wen could hear the thick sarcasm in his words. This was one of those times

Su Wen could not help but curse the original body's owner. What could she do if Zhou Hengyang wanted to settle the score with her? The original body's owner had accumulated far too many karmic debts; there was a reason the book she had read was called 'The Humiliated Life of a Daughter-in-law.'

That story had been so tragic it deserved its place as a web novel.

'IN-no, it's nothing. It isn't what you think. Su Wen laughed awkwardly. I thought I saw you on the way home, so I came to meet you.

Li Xue was going to send me off, but I told her it was unnecessary. Zhou Hengyang's eyes were alight like twin balls of fire, their cold depths replaced by this passionate inferno. Can you guess why I declined?

Was he going to go on and on?

It's because you're disciplined and have high standards. How could a country girl like her catch your fancy? Was she laying it too thick? Whatever, she would let him ride his high horse this once.

Besides, how could she let this prime opportunity to butter him go to waste?

Zhou Hengyang:

Good! If that was how she was going to play it He would see how much longer she would continue lying through her teeth.

Zhou Hengyang suddenly grabbed Su Wen by the arm and led her home. He used so much strength that Su Wen almost cried out in pain. It was only through sheer force of will that she swallowed her pained cry..
