189 Su Hao’s Purpose
Su Su was stunned as she hadn’t expected to see Su Hao. Then she handed over half of her seeds in an amicable manner. Su Su smiled and said, “Of course! Thank you for your help, Su Hao!”
However, Su Hao threw the seeds and glared at Su Su sideways, afraid that she would become suspicious. Then he thought of the task Su Ren gave him.
After spreading the seeds, Su Hao stood up and looked at his planted area. He saw that he had scattered some seeds clumsily, and some were even outside the designated planting area.
Then he noticed that Su Su had neatly planted her seeds and couldn’t help but feel guilty. Su Hao was afraid that Su Su would scold him.
However, Su Su only glanced at Su Hao and smiled sweetly. She said, “Thank you for your help, Su Hao. Let’s go and have some cake together, shall we?”
Su Su intentionally brought Su Hao along so he could interact with the other Su family members. She led Su Hao to the house and told the servants to bring them some mango cake so they could sit on the sofa and eat while they watched some cartoons.
Su Su was pleased that Su Hao was willing to take the initiative and interact with the Su family more. She was confident that her siblings would accept Su Hao the same way they accepted Su Qian.
Su Hao sat on the living room sofa and watched some cartoons with Su Su. After eating some cake, Su Hao began to feel restless and couldn’t keep up his act.
Fortunately, Su Qian, catching butterflies in the backyard, came back. She entered the Su family home and shouted, “Su Su, look at this beautiful butterfly I just caught!”
Su Qian was stunned when she saw Su Hao standing up from the living room sofa. Then she said happily, “Were you watching TV with Su Su?”
Su Hao appeared awkward. He was afraid his sister would see through his act and find out he was helping the Bai family. Su Hao briefly replied, “Y-Yes, you’re right.”
Fortunately, Su Qian was not suspicious of her twin brother. Instead, she was thrilled that he was willing to interact more with the Su family. Su Qian walked over and hugged the two. She said happily, “Okay, let’s watch some TV together!”
When Su Jun went downstairs, he saw the warm yet awkward scene. Su Qian sat between the two with a satisfied and joyful expression. Su Su focused on watching cartoons while Su Qian hugged her awkward-looking brother.
When Su Hao saw Su Jun approaching, he stood up as if it was a conditioned reflex. He nervously said, “S-Su Jun”
“It’s okay. You don’t have to stand up.” Su Jun waved his hand calmly, indicating that Su Hao needn’t be nervous. Then he gazed around the living room and felt that something was missing. Su Jun asked, “Su Su, how is Fifth Brother doing? Is he still hurt?”
Su Su was stunned and instinctively avoided making eye contact with Su Jun. She feigned ignorance and answered, “U-Um, I don’t know.”
Seeing that Su Su was feigning ignorance, Su Jun could only say helplessly, “Didn’t you often bring him food and chat with him these past few days?”
Unexpectedly, Su Su’s secret acts of kindness didn’t go unnoticed. No wonder the servants would pretend not to notice whenever she went to the detention room to see Su Qiao.
Su Su began to understand Su Jun’s intentions. She batted her big eyes and said, “The wounds on Fifth Brother’s back are starting to scab, but the doctor said he needs to continue recuperating. Su Qiao should rest for a few more days.”
Su Jun nodded and didn’t ask any more questions. He started feeling guilty and regretful ever since he beat Su Qiao with the bamboo stick that day. Su Jun only wanted to discipline Su Qiao, but his continuous refusal to admit his mistakes and open-mouthedness made Su Jun angrier.
Su Jun became afraid when he thought about what had happened to Su Qiao in his dream. Su Jun felt that he needed to teach Su Qiao a lesson. It was the worst beating Su Jun had ever given Su Qiao.
Despite that, Su Jun wanted to visit the wounded Su Qiao several times, but he was a prideful elder brother. Su Jun didn’t know how to approach and talk to the stubborn Su Qiao.
