Chapter 937: It’s Useless to Act Soft
“This is your sister. Just call her Manru,” Zong Yanxiu explained to Su Cha with a smile.
Su Cha’s expression froze. “Ah, h.e.l.lo.”
Sheng Manru was wearing a limited edition branded dress, but she looked like a lady from a wealthy family. She looked obedient. She was not as rude as she was at the supermarket today. She looked at Su Cha and said obediently, “h.e.l.lo, Sister.”
She called to her shyly and intimately, which made her look pitiful.
However, Su Cha could tell at a glance that after she called her, her gaze was clearly thrown next at Bo Muyi, who was behind Su Cha.
This was a girl that elders would especially like.
It could be seen from Zong Bingyi’s att.i.tude.
He liked this girl called Sheng Manru and said a few more words to Su Cha, “Manru and the daughter of a brother of mine have been staying overseas. They are preparing to transfer back this year and are going to the Imperial Capital University. Xiao Cha, you are also a student of the Imperial Capital University. Take care of Manru.”
Su Cha knew that he had not seen this girl for a long time and did not know the truth. The old man simply had a soft spot for his juniors. She did not say anything and just smiled.
Zong Yanxiu sat down and said politely, “Father, Manru is in her first year of university. Xiao Cha is also in her first year of university. They go to different departments. Manru also just came back from overseas, so she’s used to freedom. Does she need someone to take care of her?”
He was Su Cha’s father. He could infer things from Su Cha’s subtle expression, so he quickly went along with her.
Sheng Manru did not speak. She looked at Bo Muyi curiously. “Grandpa, Uncle, who is this beside Sister…?”
Zong Bingyi looked at Bo Muyi and said naturally, “Ah, this is your Sister Xiao Cha’s boyfriend. His surname is Bo.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Manru seemed to come to a realization and called out obediently, “h.e.l.lo, Brother Bo.”
Her form of address was subtly disquieting. Even Zong Bingyi felt that something was wrong. Su Cha also felt uncomfortable. Before she could speak, Bo Muyi’s face darkened. “Who is your brother? I have nothing to do with your family.”
His words were too cold and even a little impolite.
Zong Bingyi and Zong Yanxiu knew his temper. He did not like anyone to have connections with him for no reason.
Even the children of the old lady were not allowed to have anything to do with Bo Muyi. How could an outsider call him that?
Although Zong Bingyi was a little embarra.s.sed, he did not think that Bo Muyi had done anything wrong. Sheng Manru seemed to be frightened, though, so Zong Yanxiu spoke gently to her as if he was saying Bo Muyi was not at fault. “It’s okay, Manru. He has a bad temper. Just don’t call him that in the future.”
In fact, he was telling Sheng Manru not to provoke Bo Muyi.
Sheng Manru was silent for a moment as if she was wronged. “But I have to call him something. If I don’t, others will think that I am being rude.”
“Don’t worry, they won’t.”
Su Cha smiled and said, “I don’t live with the Zong family, so he basically won’t come over here. You won’t see him in the future. It’s fine if you don’t call him anything.”
Her words were a warning.
She was possessive of her boyfriend.
It was obvious that Sheng Manru was a weak white lotus.
Couldn’t she come up with something new?
It was useless to pretend to be weak in front of her father and boyfriend.
