    Chapter 111: Fighting Three Alone

    Su Shi and Su Qing entered the house, where Chen Jingtian, Chen Jinyao, the Old Madam Chen, and Chen Cheng had been waiting for a long time.

    The expressions on their faces varied as they saw the Su Shi siblings.

    Chen Cheng was the first to run over, calling out “Sister.”

    Su Qing glanced at him indifferently and gave an “Mm.”

    Su Qing didn’t have much affection for Chen Cheng, but after hearing Su Shi say that Chen Cheng wasn’t bad, she didn’t ignore Chen Cheng as she used to.

    Chen Jingtian always saw Su Zhi’s shadow in his daughter, they were too alike, practically carved from the same mold.

    It was just that Su Qing and Su Zhi had completely different temperaments.

    Su Zhi had long, wavy hair and a kind of oriental beauty about her.

    Su Qing, on the other hand, kept her cold-colored, shoulder-length hair, which looked neat and tidy, and much more unrestrained.

    Su Qing called out, neither warm nor cold, “Dad.”

    Chen Jingtian responded and then pointed to the Old Madam Chen and Chen Jinyao, “Your aunt and grandma have been waiting for you for a long time.”

    Su Qing didn’t move, just looked at them like that.

    Chen Jinyao still had a condescending look, taunting, “What’s the matter? After staying abroad, you don’t even know how to call your aunt anymore?”

    The Old Madam Chen still looked kind, “It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back, it doesn’t matter if you don’t call.”

    Chen Jingtian had an opinion, “Mom, you can’t spoil the child like this.”

    The Old Madam Chen said generously, “It’s okay, Xiao Qing has suffered alone abroad.”

    Chen Jinyao “tsk”ed, “Where is the suffering, it’s clearly enjoying the good life.”

    Su Qing rolled her eyes and then clapped her hands.

    “I didn’t expect that after so long, Grandma and Auntie’s stage is still set up so well.”

    Seeing this, Chen Jingtian was a little annoyed, “Su Qing, what nonsense are you talking about?”

    He then turned to Su Shi, “Su Shi, aren’t you going to control your sister?”

    Su Shi spread his hands, “My sister is fine, no need to control her.”

    Chen Jinyao: “You little girl, how dare you talk to me and your grandma like this.”

    Su Qing simply ignored her.

    Without being invited, she automatically sat at the table and shouted towards the kitchen, “Dinner is ready, serve the dishes quickly, I’m starving.”

    Chen Jingtian lectured, “No manners, the adults haven’t taken their seats yet.”

    Su Qing didn’t care.

    Soon the dishes were served, and the family members with different thoughts sat together to eat.

    Chen Cheng hadn’t seen Su Shi for many days and asked, “Brother, is Beizhou fun?”

    “Fun.”

    “Then take me to play next time, I haven’t been there yet.”

    Chen Jingtian interrupted, “You have to study.”

    Chen Cheng: “I can go during the summer vacation.”

    Su Shi nodded, “Okay, I’ll have Chi Ye arrange it then.”

    Chen Jinyao’s eyes rolled around, “Chi Ye is your boyfriend?”

    Su Shi: “Yes.”

    “Why don’t you bring him home so we can see if he’s okay?”

    Su Shi put down his chopsticks, “No need for you to see, I like him, that’s all that matters.”

    One Su Qing, one Su Shi, both so disrespectful, Chen Jinyao complained to Chen Jingtian:

    “Brother, look, your son and daughter don’t respect me so much.”

    Su Qing giggled, “If you want me to respect you, first move out of my house and support yourself.”

    Chen Jinyao slammed her chopsticks on the table and said loudly, “Why should I?”

    Su Qing’s voice was even louder, “Because this house belongs to my maternal grandparents!”

    The Old Madam Chen grabbed Chen Jinyao, giving her a look to tell her to be quiet.

    “Xiao Qing, is your allowance enough? Grandma will give you some more.”

    “It’s enough, my brother gives me a lot.”

    The Old Madam Chen said with satisfaction, “Xiao Shi is indeed a good brother.”

    Su Qing smiled slightly, “Of course, the eldest brother is like a father.”

    There was nothing wrong with this statement, but the problem was that the real father was right here.

    Saying that the eldest brother is like a father made it seem like Chen Jingtian was useless.

    Then, the Old Madam Chen inadvertently brought up Su Qing’s studies again.

    Hearing that Su Qing would be finishing her studies early this year, she expressed great shock and said to her son, “Jingtian, how can she come back early without graduating? You must persuade Xiao Qing.”

    Su Qing was immune to everything, pretending not to hear how the Chen family sang in harmony.

    She chatted with Su Shi and Chen Cheng about interesting things at school.

    Chen Jinyao looked at the harmonious appearance of the siblings, speechless.

    Chen Cheng was clearly on their side, but he played so well with those two siblings.

    The last time Chen Cheng raised a baseball bat to stop her for Su Shi was still vivid in her mind.

    After dinner, Chen Jingtian called Su Qing into the study alone.

    Su Shi wanted to follow, but Su Qing didn’t let him, giving him a reassuring look.

    Chen Cheng then pulled Su Shi to his room, “Brother, look, I saw this when I went out to play, I bought it for you.”

    It was a small cat bed with a cute kitten lying on it.

    But it wasn’t a real cat, it was fake.

    “Do you like it, Brother?”

    Chen Cheng probably knew why Su Shi loved cats but didn’t keep one.

    Su Shi’s eyebrows curved, “Thank you, Xiao Cheng.”

    Chen Cheng sat on the bed, bent one leg, and looked at Su Shi, “Brother, is Chi Ye good to you? When you went to his home, did his family bully you?”

    Su Shi played with the kitten’s fur, “No.”

    He didn’t dare tell Chen Cheng what Chi Ye’s grandfather had done, otherwise Chen Cheng would probably go to Chi Ye and make a fuss again.

    “That’s good, they must like you very much, right?”

    Su Shi: “Whether they like me or not is not important, what’s important is Chi Ye.”

    Chen Cheng nodded thoughtfully.

    Su Shi remembered the last scene and asked, “Xiao Cheng, did Auntie make things difficult for you last time?”

    Chen Cheng shook his head, “She scolded me a few times, it’s okay.”

    Feeling that Su Shi was asking out of concern, Chen Cheng was very happy.

    He plucked up the courage to hug Su Shi’s waist, resting his head on the other’s stomach.

    “Brother, I don’t have any great ideals, I just want to be your little follower forever.”

    Su Shi’s body stiffened, wanting to push him away immediately, but looking at his pitiful appearance, he couldn’t bear to.

    Maybe after pretending to be a good brother for a long time, he really became a good brother.

    Su Shi hardened his heart and pushed Chen Cheng away, turning to leave.

    Chen Cheng’s eyes were hurt, “Brother, I really don’t want anything, I just want you not to hate me and still be my brother like before.”

    After the last time, Chen Cheng grew up a lot.

    Knowing that it was useless to rely on tantrums and crying.

    Su Shi paused, “I know, let’s go see Su Qing together.”

    Chen Cheng’s eyes slowly brightened, did his brother mean that he accepted him?

    He jumped off the bed, pounced on Su Shi, and wanted to cry again, “Brother.”

    Su Shi smiled helplessly, “Let’s go.”

    When they went downstairs, Su Qing had already come out of Chen Jingtian’s study.

    Su Qing looked happy, holding an apple in her hand and gnawing on it, crunching.

    Su Shi didn’t see Chen Jingtian.

    Looking at this, Su Qing had angered Chen Jingtian so much that he simply didn’t come out.

    Su Shi patted Su Qing’s head affectionately, “Come with me to offer incense to Mom.”
