Cheng Mohan’s expression softened. “Okay.”
“That’s great!” Though in awe of her elder brother, Cheng Yuqi still held onto Cheng Mohan’s arm, aiming to compete with Fang Yuan for favor. “Recently, with an elder sister at home, it’s much livelier. Now that you’re back, the house is even more lively!”
Cheng Mohan glanced at her hand and calmly avoided it. “You’re already grown up. Be more mature.”
Despite not liking physical contact, he tolerated Cheng Yuqi’s approach. He didn’t react negatively, maintaining a gentle expression.
Cheng Yuqi was thrilled. Her brother was treating her differently!
“So, how’s the new sister?” Cheng Mohan inquired.
Cheng Yuqi’s face stiffened upon hearing this. Awkwardly, she responded, “It’s… It’s quite good… Just like you, both of you have strong personalities.” Deliberately avoiding eye contact, she feigned suppressing the fear in her heart.
Cheng Mohan didn’t miss this. It seemed that dealing with his biological sister wasn’t an easy task.
“It’s fine. Tell me more about it.” Walking together to the main hall, Cheng Yuqi hesitated. “It’s just that…”
She pretended to suppress uneasiness in her eyes, pausing before saying, “Anyway, you’ll see for yourself.”
Cheng Mohan’s expression darkened. It appeared his biological sister might be mistreating her behind his back?
The dining table was adorned with various delicacies.
“Mohan, it’s been a while since you’ve been home. Have a good drink with your father tonight.” Cheng Ye poured red wine for his eldest son, then turned to Cheng Yuqi. “Yuqi, you’re still young. Stick to non-alcoholic beverages.”
Seizing the opportunity, Cheng Yuqi acted coquettishly. ��1 want to drink with Eldest Brother too!”
“Be a good girl and you can drink when you grow up.” Cheng Ye poured himself a glass, then affectionately kissed his eldest son. “1 heard the situation overseas has stabilized?”
“Yes, it’s about time.” Cheng Mohan had been occupied overseas for several months, finally overcoming some challenges. The situation had now stabilized. Glancing around, he noticed there were only four sets of cutlery. Where was his biological sister?
Qiao Xinhui explained, “Yuanyuan just called me. She mentioned having some unfinished work…”
“Work?” Cheng Mohan was slightly surprised. Wasn’t his biological sister only 18 years old? Why was she working so early?
“You might not be aware. Your sister manages the clothing company our family established last year. She’s making significant strides there. You must have heard the news, right?” Cheng Ye smiled and clinked glasses with his son. After a sip, he continued, “Originally, 1 wanted her to relax and have fun, but your sister’s business acumen is surprisingly high. She only spent a few days there and uncovered numerous issues. She even exposed the mastermind behind it all!”
At the mention of Zhao Quan, Cheng Ye couldn’t help but feel a headache…
Cheng Mohan recalled the recent activities of the clothing company and asked instinctively, “Fang Yuan?”
“Yes, Cheng Fangyuan, your biological sister.”
Hearing the term ‘biological sister,’ Cheng Yuqi bit her lip and used her chopsticks to offer her eldest brother some food. “Eldest Brother, this is your favorite stir-fried yellow beef. Please eat more.”
“Thank you.” Cheng Mohan, known for his reserved demeanor, displayed a much gentler gaze when facing his family.
Cheng Yuqi felt a bit relieved. That fool, why didn’t she come back to get close to Eldest Brother when he was home? Instead, she was still busy with work. Truly thoughtless!
She attentively poured wine for her eldest brother and their parents, appearing quite considerate.
Cheng Mohan reflected on the fact that his biological sister was the one who had revolutionized the clothing company. His gaze deepened. Intriguing. The company was set to undergo renovations tomorrow, yet she had not returned home. She was likely preoccupied with preparations for the upcoming changes.
While he had never met her and knew little about her character, he held a favorable view of her abilities, career, and audacity at such a young age.
“If it weren’t for the fact that your sister is so young, I would seriously consider entrusting the management of the other companies to her.” Cheng Ye had immense confidence in his daughter’s capabilities, but he hesitated due to her youth and recent return home. He couldn’t bear to see her overworked.
As Qiao Xinhui ate, a thought crossed her mind. “Oh, right. She mentioned on the phone that she’s participating in a design competition in a few days. It’s a tight schedule, and she’ll be coming home late for the next few days.”
Their beloved daughter had been engrossed in work since her return. It tugged at their hearts.
Initially, they had given her the company to keep her occupied during idle moments. Their intention was for her to have something to do, not necessarily to make a name for herself. However, she surpassed everyone’s expectations by not only managing the company proficiently but also finding time to pursue her passion for design.
“Yuanyuan is participating in a design competition?” Cheng Ye expressed surprise.
“I only overheard her mentioning it… 1 didn’t expect her to be skilled in design.” Qiao Xinhui felt immense pride in having such a daughter. Simultaneously, her heart ached for her. She resolved to nurture her daughter well going forward. She planned to find an opportunity to inquire if she enjoyed managing the company. If not, she wouldn’t force her. Enjoying life was more crucial..
