Chapter 355 - 355 Eldest Brother's Reverse Scale?
355 Eldest Brother’s Reverse Scale?
Newborn calves were not afraid of tigers! Their Qingqing was the bravest “calf”!
Qingqing dared to ask her eldest brother such a direct and death-defying question!
Su Lu looked at Su Xing worriedly and realized that other than the stiff expression on his eldest brother’s face, there was nothing else abnormal. He exchanged glances with Su Shui and heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing her brothers’ strange expressions, Su Qing asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Can’t I ask this?”
Actually, it was strange. The five brothers of the Su family had long reached the age of marriage, but none of them seem to be dating, nor were there any scandals about any brothers.
At the thought of this, Su Qing looked up at her brothers, and the puzzled expression on her face made Su Lu’s heart ache.
Su Lu interrupted with a faint smile, “Look at you, Qingqing. Why are you asking about this for no reason? You’re so young, you should prioritize your studies! Don’t you have classes tomorrow? Hurry up and finish eating before going to sleep!”
Su Qing glanced at her third brother calmly, then turned to look at Su Xing. She asked, “But Eldest Brother hasn’t answered my question!”
Su Xing let go of the spoon in his hand and sighed slightly. He looked up at his innocent and persistent sister, as though he was mocking himself. A bitter smile appeared on his lips. “I’ll find a sister-in-law for you, but not now. I’m done eating, so I’ll go back to my room and rest first.”
As Su Xing spoke, he stood up and left his seat, then went to the second floor. His tall back seemed to be a little lonely and disappointed. Su Qing was slightly stunned and turned to look at her other brothers.
Su Rui raised his hand and pinched his silly sister’s face. He heaved a sigh of relief and said softly, “We usually don’t dare to mention this topic in front of Eldest Brother! Only a lunatic like you and Fifth Brother would rely on Eldest Brother’s doting on you to rub salt on Eldest Brother’s wound!”
As he spoke, he turned to glare at Su Qian, who was beside Su Qing.
Knowing that he was in the wrong, Fifth Young Master Su stopped arguing with his second brother. He lowered his head and drank the water in his cup guiltily.
Su Qing didn’t understand. She was just asking about her eldest brother’s relationship. How was she rubbing salt into his wound?
Looking at his puzzled and curious sister, Su Lu smiled lightly and explained, “Eldest Brother actually has a fiancée!”
When Su Qing heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and they flickered with a burning desire to know.
“Actually, if not for that incident, Eldest Brother and Sister Lele’s marriage should have been held before the new year! Sigh, I can only say that the heavens are playing tricks on us!” Su Lu sighed a few times before continuing.
“Eldest Brother and the An family in the capital are actually connected by marriage, but Eldest Brother and Sister An Le are also in love. Originally, the wedding arrangements that our families had drawn up were about to arrive, but a week before the wedding, Sister An Le’s medical report was suddenly found to be problematic! Sister Lele’s heart had actually never been good, and it suddenly deteriorated during that period of time. The An family immediately sent her overseas for treatment!”
When Su Qing heard Su Lu’s words, she slowly frowned and asked softly, “So, is her condition better?”
Su Lu shook his head, his eyes filled with silence. “I heard that the situation is getting worse. A few days ago, Eldest Brother said that he was on a business trip, but he actually went to visit Sister Lele! From Eldest Brother’s reaction just now, the treatment results shouldn’t be good.”
When Su Qing heard this, her exquisite brows furrowed. She thought about her eldest brother’s lonely expression and back just now, as though he had experienced countless disappointments, but he could only accept it passively. She forced herself to be relieved helplessly, but in the end, she realized that it was all useless. The pain didn’t reduce at all, but became a terrifying wound in her heart that couldn’t be touched or mentioned!
“But why haven’t I heard you mention this before?” Su Qing looked at her brothers in confusion.
It had been a long time since she returned to the Su family, but she had never heard anyone mention this to her. Even her mother had never revealed anything!
Su Qian sighed and looked up at his sister. “This has almost become Eldest Brother’s sore spot. Naturally, no one dares to mention it!”
