Chapter 1050: A Strange Uncle
Just as Su Li was about to step out, Su Bing emerged from the kitchen, his tone as stingy as ever. “Make sure to return the change to me. Don’t go wasting money.”
Su Li pursed his lips and muttered under his breath to Su Le, “Big Brother is so petty. Let’s go.” With that, he grabbed Su Le’s hand and led her out the door to buy soy sauce.
On their way back, Su Li, ever the childish one, bounced along the pavement with a lollipop between his lips, pulling Su Le along like a carefree little boy.
Su Le couldn’t help but think how immature her second brother was. She herself had no interest in sweets—Big Brother had warned against frivolous spending, but Su Li, weak-willed as ever, had succumbed to temptation.
Ignoring her reluctance, he swiftly unwrapped another lollipop and popped it into her mouth. “Little sister, just say you wanted it.”
Su Le puffed up her cheeks in annoyance. Her second brother was truly the worst! But then, the sweet, rich flavor spread across her tongue, and she found herself absentmindedly enjoying it.
Fine, she’d cover for him this time.
But just as she was savoring the treat, she noticed something peculiar—a man standing diagonally ahead of them. He was dressed in an expensive suit, his hair meticulously styled, but oddly enough, he wore a carelessly placed face mask, as though trying to stay inconspicuous.
Su Le tugged at Su Li’s sleeve and whispered, “Brother, there’s a weird uncle over there. I’m scared. Let’s go home quickly.”
Su Li followed her gaze and spotted the man. The moment their eyes met, the man took a step forward and addressed them. “Hey, kids, do you know which street the Xu family lives on?” ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Su Li blinked, momentarily caught off guard. The man seemed well-mannered, so he pointed ahead. “Fulin Road. But why are you looking for the Xu family? Are you… Xu Sheng’s dad?”
The man smiled warmly and nodded. “You’re quite sharp. Yes, I am. Are you friends with Xu Sheng?”
Su Li hesitated. “Friends? I guess you could say that. But Uncle, I have to tell you, you really need to visit him more. Do you know what Auntie Huang Fei does to him? She practically tortures him! She forces him to study all day, every day. She’s always running off somewhere and doesn’t even care whether he eats or if he’s sick. She’s awful! She even slapped him at the hospital last time. And the worst part? She never lets him go outside. Ever. She locks him up like some kind of prisoner! If this keeps up, she’s going to break him!”
