Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 923

Chapter 923: Disappointed

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Li was taken aback by how his once-timid little sister had transformed into a bossy little ruler, always picking on him. A flicker of annoyance crossed his mind; why did he seem so dull in comparison? But she was his sister, after all, and his irritation was fleeting. He couldn’t bring himself to say anything harsh to her.

He merely lowered his head, munching on his zongzi while mumbling to himself, “Fine, I won’t say anything. Everyone around knows you’re my sister anyway. I’ve boasted about having a three-year-old sister who speaks foreign languages…”

Su Le, overhearing her brother’s grumbling, huffed defiantly and walked away. A moment later, she returned, her little hand reaching for Su Li’s, her voice sweet and innocent. “Second brother, I was just upset because I didn’t get any zongzi. I didn’t mean it. Please don’t be mad at me.”

Su Li, who had a naturally forgiving disposition, had already forgotten about their earlier spat. He had expected her to come running over for some other reason. “Do you want to play with the little character cards? I can take you to find Gao Ming!”

Nodding enthusiastically, Su Le followed Su Li to find Gao Ming. They played until dinner time, then returned home with seeds that Grandma Gao had given them.

Su Li excitedly told Gu Zi, “Mom, Gao Ming’s dad really plans to move back! Gao Ming is so happy now, and I’m happy for him too. You understand, right?”

Though others might call him silly, and he himself felt less clever than his older brother and younger sister, Su Li believed he understood Gao Ming better than anyone. Gao Ming’s current joy came from the heart, and that was what truly mattered!

Gu Zi smiled and replied, “I understand. Because you’re good friends, seeing him happy makes you happy too. Su Li, your thinking is spot on. We can be strategic with others, but with friends we genuinely appreciate, we must treat them with sincerity. We should be wise, but also brave and sincere. Strategy works for those with ulterior motives, but we must reserve our honesty and courage for those who deserve it.”

Gu Zi often spoke of the need for caution in her dealings with others, yet her approach to sincerity was not contradictory. She treated people based on how they treated her; for families like the Gao family, she was willing to be open and genuine, while she kept her distance from the Xu family across the street.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Xu household was still thick with tension.
