ty. His voice held a hint of mischief: "Back then, you were so afraid of me, piling on all those accusations. I wouldn't want to make things difficult for myself either."" ...Unfortunately, later I fo..."I don't want to drive, what's wrong with just borrowing your car" I muttered softly.
My sister is a little...disapproving of me right now. Probably because I spent all Jun Shidi's money. She's not happy about it, but she doesn't want to say anything directly to me.
So as people grow up, interpersonal relationships become more complicated.
But think about it, if my sister spent all of Mu Wanchen's money, I would definitely be upset too.
Our family is made up of two sisters. We saw that the neighboring family had two brothers, and when they grew up, they each started their own families. Naturally, they had to separate their assets so they could live their own lives. There are also situations where elderly parents remain in the family home, but even then, once someone establishes their own household, it's important to clearly define financial boundaries and avoid excessive entanglement, otherwise, it can damage relationships.
My sister and I are still "rice bugs" right now, we are still students and don't have our own income. We eat what our family provides and use what our family has.
The money at home, part of it was earned by my old man, and part of it was made by my senior brothers and sisters.
My father is in charge of the household, and my elder brother manages the finances. So we have no say in matters of money.
"Sister, just wait a little while for me. I'll return the money to Big Brother later." I never thought about hiding anything from my sister. Whatever came to mind, I would just tell her.
My sister paused for a moment, shook her head helplessly and said: “That’s Big Brother's own money. It’s his business who he chooses to give it to. What do you want me to do about it”
"Seeing that you're unhappy, I don't even dare to speak to you." I stated bluntly.
My sister sighed softly: "I'm a little unhappy, but there's nothing I can do to change Senior Brother Jun's mind. Besides, it seems like I have no right to interfere in his affairs... That's what's really bothering me."
She paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "I think...a woman's temper is better if it's strong..."
"Huh A bit of a temper You" I looked at her in disbelief.
She nodded. “Well, don’t you think women are a bit stronger in character That’s why men get nervous… Look at Mom, she doesn’t even bother with the house, but all these years, Dad has been devoted to her, never even thought about divorcing and marrying someone else…”
When it came to Ms. Xue, I frowned slightly.
"By the way, Xiaolu, I dreamed of Mom the other day." My sister suddenly said.
"A dream What did you dream about..."
"I dreamed of my mother's face, though I don't really remember her features clearly. But I knew it was her. I saw her face appear in the room, like a cloud of smoke, as if she wanted to talk to me. But just as I was about to ask her something, she vanished..."
Isn't this amazing!
Ms. Xue's head apparition also appeared in my room, and it was when I was in Miao Wang City. What does she want to do
Or, what's gotten into her Why appear in our room like that, all ghostly and out of body Couldn't she just say whatever it is to our faces
I used to worry that she might run into some old monster and get kidnapped.
But why did the old monster grab her
Could it be her enemy
I'm like a stranger to her, completely unaware of her circle, her grudges, her life. Now suddenly she's gone missing, where would I even begin to look in this vast world
"Forget her. If she's so capable, what else could she possibly need to dream about you for" I said softly.
My sister reached out and slapped me.
"Why are you taking a picture of me"
"Don't say such unlucky things! What do you mean by 'dreams' Isn't that talking about the dead..." My sister said in a hushed voice.
I bit my lip, okay, I spoke out of turn.
Although Mrs. Xue may neglect family ties, she was still my father's beloved woman.
But she's really hard to find. She's a mysterious person by nature, living in a ghost village shrouded in barriers, doing "unseen" business. Perhaps when she goes out, it's just to accept commissions and deal with people possessed by ghosts.
Besides my great-grandmother, I doubt anyone else existed in her circle. We have nowhere to inquire about her.
"Wait a minute, I have something in mind." Some fragments suddenly flashed through my head.
"What's up"
My older sister seemed to have contact with her before.
"Sis, it seems like your senior sister and Ms. Xue have gotten pretty close... when did their relationship become so intimate Do you know" I asked my sister.
My elder sister shook her head. “I don’t know, I used to hear the Fifth and Sixth Sisters chatting when they were young, it seemed like they mentioned something about the Great Senior Sister when she was a child.”
"What's up"
"They seemed to say that the eldest sister was brought by the mistress when she was a child... I don't remember very clearly, it seems like my mother brought the eldest sister to our house, I don't know if it's true or not, we weren't born yet at that time."
"...So, the relationship between Senior Sister and Ms. Xue is deeper than we imagined And it's not obvious on the surface We don't know what kind of contact Senior Sister had with her privately all these years while Ms. Xue wasn't home, and we never even suspected anything." I frowned and said, "...Having many people in the family is a good thing, but once someone's heart has selfish thoughts, things can easily go wrong."
My sister puffed out her lips slightly: "Are you talking about me..."
"You're overthinking it. I'm talking about the eldest sister, she ran away from home and we don't know where she is or what she's doing…" I had a bad feeling about this.
Senior sister usually has a bit of distance from us because she runs the traditional Chinese medicinal food restaurant at home. She has to deal with many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, so she's always busy during mealtimes. It's rare for us to bump into each other in our daily lives.
And she was confident, even a little arrogant. As the two smallest ones, we should show her more respect.
If she had been in contact with Ms. Xue secretly all along, could it be related to Ms. Xue's disappearance
"Sister, I still need to go back and discuss this with Senior Brother—"
"Huh huh huh, you're going home Didn't you say you were going to school to ask your teacher about making up for missed credits" My sister turned her head and looked at me.
"Oh, credits don't matter that much right now. I just want to go back as soon as possible—"
My sister hesitated whether to park the car or turn around and send me home. Before she could decide, a car suddenly pulled up beside us, almost cutting us off.
We were startled. My sister hurriedly swerved the car to the side of the road to avoid it. I saw that it was a black Audi.
"This is looking for trouble, isn't it"
That car not only didn't stop, but it also drove closer to us, as if trying to force us to stop.
"Oh, what about little Luoer We should stop here!" My sister hurriedly glanced back and planned to pull over.
"We can't stop, this car is clearly malfunctioning! They are trying to force us to stop—drive straight into them! The more commotion, the better! It doesn't matter anyway, they were speeding and tailgating!" I frantically pulled out my phone to call the police.
This stretch of road, at this speed, it's impossible for a serious accident to happen. If my sister were more aggressive and drove herself, the other party would probably even be forced to give way.
My sister didn't have the guts to drive into them. When they stood in front of our car, my sister instinctively slammed on the brakes.
Two men in suits immediately jumped out from the back seat of the car.
