Chapter 52: Chapter 52: A Slap in the Face from Brother Three

Seeing Zuzi’s beautiful yet conniving and infuriating smile.

Xi Rubao exploded, "Look, look at her, she admits it was intentional. She’s the one who made my butt stick to the chair, everyone in the classroom saw it. Don’t I have any face left, boohoo!"

Xi Yuanshan frowned, "Zuzi, is what your sister said true?"

Zuzi replied nonchalantly, "Uh-huh."

The little brat wouldn’t know her place as a nobody if she wasn’t taught a lesson.

Xi Yuanshan furrowed his brows even tighter; this daughter he had lost for eighteen years was more unruly than he imagined and didn’t fit in with the family.

He’s been working hard to mend the daughters’ relationship, but why is it still a mess?

Just as he was about to fulfill his paternal duty of educating them, Gu Qiusha suddenly stood up from the dining table and rushed towards Zuzi.

She gave her a big bear hug!

"My darling Zuzi, let’s eat first. Eating is the top priority." She pulled Zuzi down to sit at the table, "Everyone eat well, remember—speak not while eating, nor when in bed!"

Although Zuzi wasn’t hungry, she agreed cheerfully, "Okay, Xiao Sha."

Finally, Xiao Sha said something cultured, the Ancestor needed to encourage her a bit.

With Gu Qiusha’s interjection, Xi Yuanshan couldn’t say anything further.

Xi Rubao, feeling miffed, saw her dad taking her side, which comforted her. With a humph, she let it go without further argument.

But Xi Ruzhu, gently and elegantly, picked some food and placed it into Zuzi’s bowl, speaking softly, "Zuzi, no matter what unpleasantness we have at home, we must be united outside. Sister knows you were just joking with Bao, without malice. So promise, sister, not to be naughty next time, okay?"

Xi Ruzhu spoke gently and reasonably, and Xi Yuanshan nodded frequently as he listened.

This eldest daughter was truly sensible, generous, and his doting on her wasn’t in vain.

Xi Rubao, with her heartbreak reignited, pouted and added, "Exactly! This dummy always opposes me outside! Ugh... my mouth hurts, boohoo!"

As Zuzi was about to become the target again, the silent Xi Chansha suddenly slammed his chopsticks on the table, "Speak not while eating or sleeping, no ears?"

He said to Xi Ruzhu, "Zuzi is older than you, don’t get the order wrong!"

Then he gave Xi Rubao a glare, "I was there this afternoon; this has nothing to do with Zuzi. Didn’t you buy the glue that stuck to your skirt? There’s still a bunch of it in your study, for pranking classmates. Want to bring it out and see? Bringing it upon yourself, and you still have a point?"

Xi Yuanshan heard this and frowned again, "Is that how it was?"

Gu Qiusha nodded vigorously, "I just knew it was like this!"

Xi Rubao, caught out, pouted and looked down, unable to speak.

Xi Ruzhu was taken aback, her face flushed red—third brother usually spoiled them and had a very harsh attitude towards Zuzi just a few days ago, not recognizing this unexpected half-sister.

How come today he’s speaking up for Zuzi?

This unexpected slap in the face hurt too much!

On the contrary, Zuzi herself seemed lazy, indifferent to either vilification or defense.

She even advised Xi Chansha, "Xiao Chan, show some respect for the chopsticks. Slamming chopsticks is inelegant and disrespectful to the Ancestor."

Xi Chansha: "..." This little Ancestor finally didn’t call him Xiao Sansnan anymore, but "Xiao Chan" doesn’t seem much higher in status!

With the third brother personally stepping in, the meal finally calmed down, and no one dared to speak any more criticism.

However, Zuzi didn’t eat a grain of rice.

The food Xi Ruzhu picked for her was neglected to the side, as if she found it dirty.

Xi Chansha saw this but said nothing.

After dinner.

He stood up and said to Zuzi, "The clothes I bought for you yesterday, why did you return them all? How can a girl do without a wardrobe full of clothes? Come with me, let’s go buy some clothes."

Xi Ruzhu nearly choked on the food she’d just swallowed.

Xi Rubao directly howled out, "Third brother, are you crazy? Why are you so nice to this dummy! I helped turn your business around, and you didn’t even buy me clothes!"
