Chapter 235: Big Brother’s Love Is Unbearable
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
However, Murong Qiao was an independent being. Murong Chen had to give her personal s.p.a.ce to experience a complete life.
Hearing her Big Brother’s sincere words, Murong Qiao chimed in from time to time, but her mind drifted back to last night’s memories. She had just taken Huo Yichen to Murong Zheng’s place. Now that she heard his words, she felt inexplicably guilty.
“Alright, alright, 1 understand.” She pretended to be angry.
Murong Chen also stopped talking and looked at Murong Qiao helplessly. “Qiaoqiao is very good, but can you understand Big Brother’s sense of responsibility and protectiveness? I’m very happy to be able to solve your troubles, even if it’s just a small one.”
He said that on purpose. His weak tone made Murong Qiao nod subconsciously and agree.
The conversation between the two did not last long. Murong Qiao still had cla.s.s in the afternoon, and Murong Chen’s postponed schedule was still there. Thus, the siblings quickly said goodbye.
Watching Murong Qiao leave, Murong Chen called his secretary and asked him to investigate Murong Qiao’s injury.
Murong Qiao, who had just come out of Big Brother Murong Chen’s place and returned to school, received the soup from the butler, Uncle Yang.
“Pig trotters… soup?” Murong Qiao looked at the thermal bag in her hand hesitantly.
Even through the bag, she could feel the warmth in her palm. Murong Qiao looked at Uncle Yang, who had appeared in front of her, and then at the pork trotter soup. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
Uncle Yang nodded with a smile. “Second Young Master specially instructed me to make soup. Tradition is that if you hurt your limb, you should eat the limb of the animal. At the same time… it would also increase Young Miss’s intelligence and reaction speed.”
Murong Qiao instantly felt that Uncle Yang was definitely speaking the exact words of Murong Zheng. This kind of p.r.i.c.kly style was undoubtedly his.
She glanced at the pork trotter soup in her hand. With this capacity, she couldn’t help but suspect that Murong Zheng wanted her to drink until she died.
It could also be that he felt that she was really lacking something, so he specially instructed so much.
“Thank you, Uncle Yang.” Murong Qiao thanked him.
After all, it was a gift from her family. She smiled and accepted it. She planned to share it with everyone when she brought it back to the dormitory. Otherwise, it would be a waste if she couldn’t finish it.
However, when she received the pork trotter soup for an entire week, she found it hard to bear this kindness.
Drinking such things every day, even if it was out of goodwill, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but have the urge to slap Murong Zheng.
Life in school went on as usual, and Murong Chen made progress with regards to his Little Sister’s injury.
He looked at the information sent by his secretary and called Murong Chuan. “h.e.l.lo?”
“Big Brother?” Murong Chuan was a little puzzled when he received his call.
Murong Chen could tell from his tone that Murong Chuan still did not know what had happened to his Little Sister. Otherwise, he would definitely not have such a reaction.
Hence, he briefly explained what he had found out.”… Little Sister’s injuries are about to recover, but you still don’t know.”
The last sentence came out of Murong Chen’s mouth with a hint of accusation.
After Murong Chuan heard this, he could not help but blame himself. His raised eyebrows also lowered, and the smile at the corners of his eyes faded. His expression was clearly the same, but there was suddenly a hint of coldness and a little vexation that was difficult to notice.
He was in school now. Logically speaking, he should be the first to know and understand the situation. In the end, he had to be informed by Big Brother about what had happened to Little Sister.
When he heard that Murong Qiao was injured, Murong Chuan was surprised for a moment. He blamed himself for not taking good care of his Little Sister.
“I understand.” He did not say anything else and hung up the phone.
Murong Chen looked at the phone that had a busy tone and then at the information displayed on the computer screen. When he saw Feng Xinyao’s name on the screen, he narrowed his eyes and slammed the pen in his hand on the table.
It looked like an accident, but he knew Feng Xinyao very well. Although he had not found any evidence to prove that it was man-made, Murong Chen was certain that Feng Xinyao had something to do with Murong Qiao’s injury.
This matter… still needed to be investigated.
For the past two days, Murong Qiao felt like vomiting whenever she saw pork trotter soup. Sometimes, she even thought that she had developed a physiological reflex.
Uncle Yang carried out Murong Zheng’s words meticulously. For seven consecutive days, he brought Murong Qiao cooked pork trotter soup, which made her hate him.
“My injuries are almost healed, Uncle Yang. 1 really can’t drink the soup anymore…” Murong Qiao took over today’s portion weakly.
If she had known that she would be required to drink such a thing, she would definitely have thought of all sorts of ways to prevent herself from being injured.
Uncle Yang nodded with a smile.
Murong Qiao had no temper at all when facing Uncle Yang, who had always taken care of her.
However, when she thought about how she had drunk so much soup and how her weight had increased by two pounds, Murong Qiao was still furious. Hence, she put all the blame on her second brother, Murong Zheng.
She remembered that Murong Zheng was clearly studying Western medicine! Why did he still believe in eating and supplementing? He was clearly torturing her.
There was still cla.s.s later. After saying goodbye to Uncle Yang, Murong Qiao had no choice but to carry the thermos bag to cla.s.s.
“Drinking soup again?” Yang Xin looked at the bag in her hand.
Murong Qiao walked to the seat that Yang Xin had reserved for her and sat down. At this moment, when she heard her question, she nodded in despair.
She didn’t want to either, but Murong Zheng’s love was too heavy for her to bear.
Murong Qiao took out the textbook and placed it on the table. “I told my butler that this should be the last one.”
Anyone could hear the helplessness in her tone. Leng Yan was also sitting beside her. When she heard Murong Qiao’s words, she heaved a sigh of relief.
They had a share of the pork trotter soup for the past few days. Although there was a saying that there was collagen in pork trotters that could improve skin, no one could stand drinking it every day. However, they couldn’t bear to see Murong Qiao suffer alone. As a result, the entire dormitory had been filled with the smell of pork trotter soup recently.
“That’s good, that’s good…” Yang Xin also exhaled and patted her chest.
If she drank any more, she would have to think about how to lose weight.
The three of them didn’t talk much when they saw Murong Chuan walk in on the sound of the bell.
This cla.s.s was Murong Chuan’s cla.s.s. Due to his strict style towards his students, very few people missed his cla.s.s. Moreover, one had to listen carefully to barely pa.s.s.
However, Professor Murong, who usually lectured very quickly, seemed to have become a different person today. He had undergone a 180-degree change. Not only did he slow down, but he also talked for a long time about many knowledge points. It was slow enough for everyone to keep up.
The cla.s.sroom was exceptionally quiet. Time pa.s.sed so quickly that no one noticed. Everyone listened attentively until the bell rang.
Because Murong Qiao’s hands were still not very convenient, it was a little slow to pack. Yang Xin and Leng Yan stood up with their books and waited for her to leave with them. At this moment, most of the students had left.
“This is for you.” A cold voice sounded from above.
Murong Qiao looked up and saw Murong Chuan walking over and placing a food box in front of her.
After Murong Chuan said this, he pursed his lips for a long time before continuing. “If you encounter anything in school in the future, you can tell me.”
His Little Sister had been bullied in school, and he knew nothing about it. Murong Chuan still felt a little awkward, but the words of concern turned to other things.
“Eat more to recover.” This was a meal that he had specially prepared. He added, “It’s best to eat more.”
It might prevent her from getting injured again..
