Chapter 21 (1/2)

Come Home with Me

During her stay in Qingshui Villa, although there were some embarrassing incidents, Xu Jiaojiao had actually been quite happy. She did not want to go back, and she did not want her parents to see her injured. They would only feel even more guilty and heartbroken.

“Won’t they be worried if you don’t go home?” Xu Zhengyang reached out and pinched Xu Jiaojiao’s cheek. “Do you know that Mom talks about you at home every day?”

He did not pinch her that hard, but Xu Jiaojiao had a wound on her forehead. Every little movement would tug at the wound. “Ouch, Brother, that hurts…”

Xu Zhengyang quickly let go. “Be good and come home with me. You’ve only been out for a few days and you’ve already injured your head. If you stay for a few more days, you’ll lose your life.”

“Big Brother…” Xu Jiaojiao hugged Xu Zhengyang’s arm and acted like a spoiled child.

“It’s useless, don’t bother trying to act cute!” Xu Zhengyang hardened his heart. “Come home with me. You have to go home!”

Xu Jiaojiao stopped talking and pursed her pale lips. Her delicate face was filled with hurt as she looked at Xu Zhengyang with teary eyes. Xu Zhengyang had no choice but to agree. “Alright, alright. I’ll wait for you to recover before we go home.”

Xu Jiaojiao immediately smiled and said sweetly, “Thank you, Big Brother…”

“There’s no point in thanking me with words. I’ve been kinda broke lately. I don’t even have enough money to buy clothes…” Xu Zhengyang pretended to sigh.

Before he could say anything, Xu Jiaojiao picked up her phone and transferred 10,000 yuan to him. “Tell me if you need more.”

Xu Zhengyang immediately beamed with joy. “You’re the best, Sis. Rest well for the next few days, okay? You can go to class after you recover. I’ll send you to school every day!”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded obediently.

Qi Shenbai stood at the side and watched as Xu Zhengyang, a man who was already working, asked for pocket money from his younger sister who was still in school. The more he thought about it, the more shameful it felt.

Xu Zhengyang turned around and gave Qi Shenbai a look, so Qi Shenbai told Xu Jiaojiao to rest in the ward for a while before following Xu Zhengyang out of the ward.

Once in the corridor, Qi Shenbai spoke first. “I always knew you were shameless, but I didn’t think you would stoop so low as to ask your sister for money.” He even asked for a little girl’s pocket money!
