Chapter 3: Sharp-tongued Elder Brother (I)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bai Wei frowned a little and said, “Zizi took things too hard because she’s still young, please don’t say that about her.”
“It’s because you’ve been spoiling her. That’s why she’s so dumb,” Mu Rongcheng rebuked his mother mercilessly.
On the other hand, Su Zi blushed.
He said that she was dumb!
She was the most outstanding prosecutor in Green River City when she had been alive and was hailed as a goddess who was both beautiful and brainy! Some friendly netizens even called her Astraea!
Who was Astraea?—The Goddess of Justice from Ancient Greece!
Su Zi grew up being praised all the time, and nobody ever said that she was dumb!
… No, perhaps she was dumb.
She was so dumb that she had no clue who had killed her.
Su Zi bit her lip without saying a word. Her black, watery eyes were filled with grievance and resentment.
Her patience caused Mu Rongcheng to look at her differently because the usual Mu Zi would have screamed at the top of her lungs by now.
Nonetheless, he was still harsh with his words. He spoke indifferently with a hint of disgust, “Why didn’t you look in the mirror? I can’t believe that you tried to steal a man’s heart by attempting suicide. You might as well just undergo plastic surgery.”
“Rongcheng!” Bai Wei became furious. “How could you say something like that to your younger sister?!”
“Did I say something wrong?” Mu Rongcheng ridiculed. “Oh, not only should you change your face, but you should also tweak your brain. You’re really something to have tried to commit suicide for a guy.”
As he uttered the last word, a distressed look crossed his face as he seemed to have recalled something.
However, it disappeared in a flash as if it was just an illusion.
Su Zi stared at Mu Rongcheng in disbelief for being shocked by his harsh words!
‘Is he even my elder brother? He must be an enemy, isn’t he?!’
Bai Wei appeared to feel helpless about her son. Her head ached as she said, “If Zizi did something wrong, you can correct her slowly since you’re her elder brother. Can you not say hurtful things? She’s still young, so she’ll know that it’s wrong to do what she had done when she’s older…”
Mu Rongcheng curled his lip. It was obvious that he turned a deaf ear to Bai Wei’s words. “Since she’s fine, I’ll be leaving first.”
Bai Wei asked, “Your younger sister’s sick, where are you going?”
Mu Rongcheng paused for a while, and a bit of warmth was seen on his handsome but cold face. “Oh, my girlfriend’s sick and she happens to be staying in this hospital too, so I’ll go visit her.”
Bai Wei was startled when she heard what he had said. She knew that her son had a bad reputation and that he was popular with the ladies, but he was always only briefly interested in them.
This was her first time hearing Mu Rongcheng admit to having a girlfriend.
When Bai Wei thought about his age, she agreed that it was time for him to settle down, thus she said to him gently, “Take good care of her then. When she’s better, bring her home for dinner.”
Mu Rongcheng furrowed his eyebrows, and his expression became cold as ice again.
“We’ll see,” he replied and left the ward.
Bai Wei sighed then turned to comfort her daughter, “It’s your brother’s first time having a girlfriend, so it’s inevitable that he values her more. When you were in a coma, he was really worried about you…”
Su Zi twitched her mouth and her face turned blue with shock.
‘His first time having a girlfriend? Oh my, please don’t tease me. Your son has ladies like a celebrity having outfits—none of them are repeated, and they have different styles!’
Bai Wei realized that the excuse she made was not very convincing, and became slightly embarrassed. “… Zizi, don’t be angry, I’ll definitely make him apologize to you later.”
Su Zi did not know if her clueless mother was naive, or naive?
It was a good thing that did not die from being pissed off with Mu Rongcheng.
“Mom, pass me a mirror.” Su Zi touched her face. As compared to a mother and a brother who suddenly appeared, she was more concerned about her current look.
