Li Jianyue refused to give in. She plastered her entire body onto his and puckered her lips as she insisted, “I want a kiss! It’s just one kiss!”
Li Jianqian peeled her off of him and flung her onto the couch.
Li Jianyue wasn’t offended at having been tossed aside just like that. Instead, she giggled and turned her head to look at the boy in red beside him. She looked up and immediately called out to him, “Brother Chu!”
Yu Chulin reached out to pat her head with a smile on his face as he said, “Ersu is all grown up. But aren’t you 17? Why are you still in Year 1? Did you repeat a couple of years?”
Yu Chulin’s question hit Li Jianyue hard, it was like an arrow to her heart. She scrambled to sit up and retorted indignantly, “Repeat a couple of years your a.s.s! It’s normal for a 17-year-old to be in Year 1!”
“Really?” Yu Chulin asked as he glanced at Li Jianqian. It was clear from his expression that he didn’t believe her words.
Li Jianqian met his eyes coincidentally and his eyebrows rose in reply.
Unspoken contempt was always the deadliest.
Li Jianyue felt as if her heart was being stabbed by numerous knives and she had to fight off the urge to cry.
“Alright, enough. Ersu is the one who’s normal,” Li Mosen defended as he walked over and sat beside Li Jianyue. “The both of you are anomalies. You can’t compare Ersu to you.”
“Exactly!” Li Jianyue concurred immediately. Having found a source of comfort, she hid behind Li Mosen and continued, “Brother Mosen is indeed the best. The both of you do nothing but bully me!”
“You’re the one responsible for spoiling her so she had to repeat an academic year, aren’t you?” Yu Chulin accused bluntly. “You’ve been spoiling her since young. You can’t keep this up, or she’ll end up suffering in future!”
His words were extremely harsh to hear.
Li Mosen stared daggers at Yu Chulin and countered, “I simply stated the truth. It’s enough for Dasu to shoulder the responsibilities of the family. Ersu is a girl. She just has to be happy.”
Yu Chulin frowned. “Aren’t you going to say anything about this?” he asked Li Jianqian. “You’re just going to let this go?”
“Mosen is right.” It was very rare for Li Jianqian to have opposing view from Yu Chulin.
Li Jianyue’s eyes lit up. Just when she thought that Li Jianqian had said that out of affection for her, he continued, “Given her capabilities, I don’t expect much from her anyway.”
Li Jianyue picked up an apple from the coffee table and threw it at him in anger. “You’re a d*ck!” she exclaimed.
Li Jianqian caught the apple with one hand and simply smiled as he said, “I won’t eat this now. Grandpa told us to go back to the old manor for lunch.”
“Now?” Li Jianyue turned to look at the clock. “It’s already past one! Grandpa, Grandma and Little Brother have probably eaten by now.”
“I have no idea but Moyun called just now to cry to me, he said that you’ve been neglecting him,” Li Mosent remarked in a gloating tone. “For all we know, Little Brother has become a little fat pig by now.”
“How vicious!” Li Jianyue commented.
“That’s your little brother,” Yu Chulin reminded them.

Li Sicheng had had a pair of twins. The older twin is a boy named Dasu, and the younger one is Ersu.
In addition, the couple also had an adopted son and another younger son.
The adopted son was Li Mosen, while their youngest son was named Li Moyun.
More than once, Li Moyun had wondered why his older brother and sister were called Dasu and Ersu, while his name did not have a single ‘Su’ character.
Later on, he realized that the family dog was called Teeny Su and he felt a lot better about his name. They were in the same category as the dog, while he and Brother Mosen were of different standing.
With this in mind, Li Moyun’s arrogance only grew, so much so that it even shadowed his steps. Whenever he conversed with Dasu and Ersu, he would lift his chin and puff his chest out with great pride.
However, pride always came before a fall. Once, his att.i.tude crossed the line and he had made a nasty remark to Li Jianyue —”Older Brother is so smart, while you are so stupid. Did Dad and Mom carry the wrong baby home from the hospital?”
Li Ersu had been upset until the next day. Somehow, Li Mosen had found out about it and quietly reported it to Li Sicheng, who doted on his daughter very much.
And that was how Master Li Moyun got thrown to the Old Manor.
