Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 1112

Chapter 1112: Suspicion

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xu Sheng had originally intended to go wet the rag, but the moment he heard Gu Zi’s comment, he came scampering back, dry cloth in hand, and immediately began scrubbing down the refrigerator with unprecedented enthusiasm.

It was, in fact, the very first time in his life that Xu Sheng had ever helped out with household chores, and he threw himself into it with the energy of a man discovering a new calling.

Meanwhile, Su Li, sweeping the floor diligently, couldn’t help but steal glances at Xu Sheng out of the corner of his eye. His mind whirred suspiciously: was Xu Sheng working this hard just to get their mother’s attention? Was he angling for praise?

This wouldn’t do — if Xu Sheng was stepping up his game, then Su Li would simply have to work twice as hard. After all, Gu Zi was his mother. Xu Sheng could only call her "Auntie."

Xu Sheng, for his part, had noticed Su Li’s sidelong glances. It seemed that once Su Li saw how hard he was working, he had redoubled his own efforts too.

Xu Sheng’s competitive spirit flared — he couldn’t possibly let Su Li outshine him! When he got home, he decided, he would even ask his grandmother to hire a martial arts teacher for him. He would train seriously.

And so, without a single word exchanged, the two boys launched into a silent but ferocious competition of who could outwork the other.

The result? The refrigerator gleamed so brightly it could have been mistaken for a mirror, and the floors were spotless, without even a trace of dust.

Gu Zi, who had originally just meant to give them a bit of busywork for fun, was completely flabbergasted. How had it turned into a full-on professional-grade cleaning job?

What good boys, she thought admiringly.

Feeling generous, she rewarded each of them with a foreign-language comic book she had bought for Lele. She had found the stories inside quite charming — perfect for children around seven or eight years old.

Xu Sheng, thrilled with his prize, immediately opened the book and began reading. Thanks to his early exposure to foreign languages, these children’s comics were a breeze for him.

Su Li, however, wasn’t so lucky. He stared at the pages in dismay. Despite his deep admiration for his mother’s fluent foreign-language skills — and his own secret dream of someday speaking as smoothly as she did — the reality was that those unfamiliar letters and words still gave him a splitting headache.

Still, this was a gift from his mother. Meeting her expectant gaze, Su Li clenched his fists and made a solemn vow. "Mom, will you read it with me tonight? I’ll definitely understand the story if you help me," he declared earnestly.

Gu Zi smiled warmly and gave him an encouraging "no problem" gesture.

Later that afternoon, Gu Zi had lesson plans to review, so she entrusted the three boys with looking after Su Le out in the courtyard. The children, fortunately, were incredibly well-behaved and didn’t bother her at all. They were entertaining themselves contentedly until late afternoon, when the Xu family’s car arrived to pick up Xu Sheng.
