Chapter 307: Chapter 307: I Am Sister’s Real Younger Brother!

From the certificates and trophies on the wall, it was clear that Zhou Wenshu was a music student who graduated from Beijing Music College.

With such impressive credentials, he should have been doing alright.

However, Jiang Li had figured out that he seemed to have run into some difficulties recently, of which Mrs. Zhou seemed totally unaware.

"Do you know what Wenqi’s brother is working as now?" Jiang Li asked.

Upon mentioning her elder son, Mrs. Zhou’s smile faltered.

"Oh, Wenshu was always working on some music studio with his friends during his university days, and it has been doing well in recent years. After graduation, he just continued with that."

Hearing this, Jiang Li became even more certain of her inner suspicions.

Zhou Wenshu’s fortune in the past few years had not been smooth, and the Zhou Family’s overall luck had been low. It was impossible for him to have a smooth-sailing career.

Unless he was only sharing good news and not the worries.

Jiang Li thought for a moment, "Aunt Zhou, when you have some free time, could you ask Wenqi’s brother if he’s available? I would like to hire him as a tutor for our family."

Mrs. Zhou looked surprised, "A tutor?"

"Yes," Jiang Li nodded, "I have a cousin who is very interested in music. He had to drop out of school two years ago due to illness and has fallen behind in his studies. I know Brother Wenshu is academically excellent and understands music, which makes him a perfect fit to teach him. Money is not an issue."

Mrs. Zhou smiled, "No problem at all, as long as he has the time I’ll get him to come over and teach. There’s no need to worry about money, it’s too impersonal."

"Then I’ll have to trouble Aunt Zhou."

Jiang Li chatted with her a bit more and didn’t drive back home until it was nearly evening.

All the way home, Jiang Cheng’s expression was gloomy, and he didn’t say a single word.

Jiang Li didn’t bother with him, leaving him to reflect on his own.

The old master hadn’t returned home yet; perhaps he was scared by the commotion she had caused that morning. The house was eerily quiet, without a sound.

It was Jiang Shixu who came out to greet her.

Seeing them, he smiled and took Jiang Li’s bag.

"Sister, where have you been? I’ve been waiting for you at home all day."

Jiang Li raised her hand and patted his head, "I took Jiang Cheng to his classmate’s house. Did you behave and eat your meals at home?"

Jiang Shixu nodded earnestly and then glanced warily at Jiang Cheng, who stood behind Jiang Li.

The little lion who usually strutted around arrogantly had finally bowed his proud head, looking like a wilted, sick cat.

Jiang Shixu’s eyes darted around, "Sister, why do you look so unwell? Did brother make you unhappy? Don’t worry, sister, I’ll be very good and won’t make you angry."

Jiang Cheng, standing to the side, nearly went mad when he heard this.

The female devil looked unwell?! Her complexion was so rosy she could be on television, and yet they say she looked unwell!? Obviously, it was he who looked unwell!

Jiang Shixu was definitely doing this on purpose!

Jiang Cheng couldn’t swallow his pride. After taking a deep breath, he stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Jiang Li’s clothes.

"Sister, I’m sorry, it was my fault today. You can rest assured, I won’t do this again, and I won’t make you angry anymore."

Jiang Li: "....."

Had these kids become addicted to apologizing today?

She looked at Jiang Cheng, whose eyes now contained a sincere gleam, no longer filled with his usual mischievous malice.

Knowing that at least a trace of genuine feeling accompanied his words, Jiang Li nodded.

"With your words, I’m reassured. I’ve already put the first-aid kit in your room, let Auntie take care of your wounds and then come down for dinner."

She didn’t expect to straighten out this naughty kid in just one day anyway.

But no matter, time was on her side, and she had plenty of it to educate him.

Jiang Li turned and went upstairs.

The two remaining in the living room stared at each other, neither blinking first.

In an instant, Jiang Shixu’s expression grew cold, and his eyes filled with annoyance as he looked at Jiang Cheng.

"You can pretend to be good all you want, but big sis will still like me more," he said.

Jiang Cheng snorted coldly, ignoring the pain in his buttocks as he strode up to him, "No matter how much she likes you, what’s the use? I am her real little brother by the closest blood."

In fact, ever since the moment at the Zhou Family’s house when Jiang Li actively introduced him as her real brother, he felt a mix of emotions.

Because before that, she had never acknowledged their relationship.

Even if they accidentally bumped into each other outside, she would act like she had encountered a stranger and then roll her eyes and walk away.

Even when he greeted her with a smile on his face.

But now, she had actually taken the initiative to recognize their relationship.

What he had always wanted was just a bit of recognition.

Not to be treated like dirty trash to be scorned by others. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Compared to being ignored, he much preferred Jiang Li managing him like this.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Cheng, unusually content, didn’t continue the fight with Jiang Shixu but instead hopped into the elevator with a trail of aching bruises.

Jiang Shixu, however, stared at his retreating figure and clenched his teeth.

If only his relationship with his sister could be even closer.

Once back in his room, Jiang Shixu took a photo of Jiang Li from the printer and stuck it on the wall.

Looking at the wall full of photos, he finally felt a little relieved.

He then turned on the music on his phone, and amidst the light piano sounds, he drifted off to sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, he was awakened by a knock on the door.

Jiang Shixu opened his eyes groggily, realizing that it had already turned completely dark outside.

Rubbing his eyes and yawning, he got up and opened the door.

The moment he saw who was standing outside, he snapped to full alertness, quickly stepped out, and closed the door behind him.

"Sis, sister..."

He couldn’t let his sister see the room full of her photos!

Jiang Li gave his door a curious glance.

"What’s wrong?"

"Nothing, I was sleeping... My room’s a mess..."

Jiang Li didn’t press further, simply holding up the plate in her hand, "I noticed you didn’t come down for dinner, so Aunt Zhou made you something. Come and have some."

Saying this, she walked towards the study across the hall.

Jiang Shixu obediently followed.

Jiang Li set the meal down on the table, and Jiang Shixu promptly sat down to eat.

Bowing his head, his tidy hair at the crown of his head became exposed to Jiang Li’s view, while the dense, black hair around it trembled gently like a dandelion puff.

His mouth was also stuffed full, and at that moment, his face lost a bit of its broken look and gained an air of cute naivety.

Jiang Li couldn’t resist reaching out to poke his cheek, finding it indeed plump and soft to the touch.

Jiang Shixu paused, looking up at her in bewilderment.

Jiang Li coughed, quickly changing the subject, "I brought you a gift from Chixia Village, I don’t know if you’ll like it?"

Jiang Shixu’s eyes instantly brightened.

"A gift? There’s actually a gift?" But then, as if thinking of something, he became worried, "But sister, weren’t you rescued? How could you bring me a gift? Didn’t I just cause you more trouble?"
