Chapter 429 -377: Birth Mother Indifferent Like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Miss Sabotages Everything with a Backhand 17_3
Since she spoke so straightforwardly, the younger brother couldn’t say much more. Although he was young, he was quite sly. His eyes darted about, and soon he had his excuse, “You know, Mom never competes with others. It’s not in her nature to do so. Everyone knows she’s a kind-hearted good person, but now, a mistress has taken advantage of her. Given that your image isn’t so great among others, why don’t you help Mom take care of this affair? If you handle it well, Mom will surely be grateful to you in her heart.”
Su Zhiruan understood immediately; it was indeed about this matter. Ning Fu, seeing he couldn’t gain advantage from her, wanted to use her younger brother to stir her passion. But what he didn’t expect was that the original soul had already been replaced; it was no longer the original Su Zhiruan. No matter what he said now, Su Zhiruan would definitely not involve herself in this affair.
However, not involving herself didn’t mean she couldn’t have a bit of fun teasing them. Consequently, Su Zhiruan continued, “Since you’re telling me to help Mom deal with the mistress, are you representing Mom’s thoughts now, or your own? Is it Mom begging me, or is it you?”
Though the question was easy to answer, it immediately stumped her younger brother. He scratched his head, clenched his teeth, and stared fiercely at Su Zhiruan. For a while, he couldn’t come up with an excuse and finally could only say, “This is all my own idea. I can’t stand to see Mom this upset. I can’t bear to see Dad with another woman who came to live in our house and gave birth to a younger brother. So… you must stand up for us and drive that bad woman away. After all, you’re all the same, birds of a feather; you surely have the means and the cunning for it.”
After saying all this, he turned his gaze towards Su Zhiruan. His eyes were ferociously disdainful as he looked at his sister. Yet, beneath his gaze, there was also a hint of hope. He hoped that Su Zhiruan would accept this task because of his words, to agree to break up Dad and the mistress. After all, they were family; if his dad brought in a mistress, he wouldn’t benefit either. Thinking this, her younger brother immediately added two more sentences, “Moreover, we’re all a family. If Dad and that mistress aunt move in later, they’ll surely chase us away. Don’t you want to be driven away, do you?”
Su Zhiruan was initially just having a bit of fun with them; she didn’t care about his words at all. Thus, she clapped her hands and said, “So it was your idea, wanting me to comfort Mom, wanting to alleviate Mom’s worries, right?”
Her younger brother nodded his head vigorously and shouted, “So what if it was!”
Su Zhiruan also nodded her head but immediately added, “Then I simply can’t agree!”
“Why not?! You just listened to everything! Why wouldn’t you agree? Don’t my words make sense?” When her younger brother heard this, his face turned red with anger. He hadn’t expected Su Zhiruan to refuse, especially after he’d finished making his case. Seeing Su Zhiruan attempting to return to her room, he suddenly panicked and reached out to stop her.
Su Zhiruan was originally just teasing them, so she stopped and continued to speak, “Your words do make sense, but the premise is that it was your idea. You’re just a child, still in elementary school. If it gets out, people would laugh at Su Zhiruan for listening to a primary school student’s suggestion, which would be quite ridiculous. Besides, your thoughts are limited. What if Dad and Mom don’t think the way you mentioned? Not only would I be following your suggestion, but it might also make them dislike us. So, I refuse to get involved unless they ask me personally.”
By the time she finished speaking, her younger brother was already frantic. He was stammering and couldn’t articulate a word. Finally, seeing Su Zhiruan had taken her backpack off and was about to step inside her room, she heard him urgently cry out, “Wait, I have something to say.”
“Don’t bother. I won’t listen. Don’t waste your efforts on me. Instead of that, you might as well do it yourself,” Su Zhiruan added a few words and then was ready to close the door. Suddenly, her younger brother jammed his hand in the door.
“It’s Mom! It was her!”
“Mom asked me to plead with you to help. You know she never argues with anyone; she’s a very reserved person. So Mom, crying, said if you could help, it would be great, but she was too embarrassed to ask you, so I came to ask, Alright?! You cold and heartless woman!”
Having spilled this out, her younger brother hoped Su Zhiruan would make a decision.
Of course, Su Zhiruan didn’t care about his words. She lazily glanced upstairs, crossed her arms and then raised her voice, “If someone wants to find me, let her come find me herself, not through a mediator like you, understand? If she genuinely wants to plead with me, then let her come find me personally. I won’t go to her. Got it?”
This left her younger brother unable to say another word.
