“That’s not it. The main thing is, this girl Pingping isn’t bad,” Su Wen remarked, expressing her favourable opinion of Su Pingping. In a family of eccentrics, she seemed like an anomaly—a pitiful little rabbit bullied and oppressed. What impressed Su Wen was Su Pingping’s lack of resentment. It wasn’t easy to grow up well- adjusted in such an environment.
Moreover, she was diligent. With the studio currently short-staffed, Su Pingping’s experience in sewing proved invaluable. She had even crafted clothing and shoes for the entire family, with rumours circulating that even w.a.n.g Chunyan and others had sought her expertise.
As the three sisters descended the stairs, they found Cao Meihua leisurely exploring the house. “What’s all the whispering about?” she teased upon seeing Su Wen. “Why did it take you so long?”
Su Wen shrugged helplessly. “Having more sisters is always troublesome. Look at her throwing a tantrum with me the moment she gets home.”
Su Xue blushed, reproachfully glancing at her elder sister before striking up a conversation with Su Pingping. Meanwhile, Su Xiu diligently busied herself like a worker bee.
Cao Meihua, envious, couldn’t help but lament, “I envy you. You have so many good sisters, unlike my troublesome younger brother who only causes me grief. I cater to him like he’s my ancestor.”
Unable to contain herself, Su Wen spilled the beans. “Tell us more when Cao
Jun returns.”
“But I can’t…” Despite her complaints, Cao Meihua cherished her younger brother dearly. She’d fiercely defend him against any detractors. Besides, he was doing well now—good at academics, and sports, and blessed with good looks. In her eyes, her brother excelled in everything.
“By the way, who was the person who came to pick up my brother just now? I knew He Changming and Shen Erkui, so I didn’t inquire,” Cao Meihua interjected, mindful of her brother’s youthful demeanour. She worried he wouldn’t fit in with adults like He Changming and company.
Fortunately, He Changming’s younger cousin accompanying them wasn’t much older than her brother. He was talkative and amiable, ensuring her brother wouldn’t feel left out.
“His name is Xu Xiaoxiao. He’s my husband’s cousin and Sixth Sister’s G.o.dparents’ son,” Su Wen explained, not withholding any information. Cao Meihua was pleasantly surprised and praised.
Earlier, Xu Xiaoxiao had arrived in a convertible car, a sight Cao Meihua found striking. His easygoing demeanour charmed all the men in the living room, including Cao Jun, whom he’d never met before.
Cao Meihua couldn’t help but be taken aback by his striking features. Despite being accustomed to seeing attractive people due to her profession, meeting Su Wen had refined her standards. Individuals like He Changming and Su Wen’s husband stood out not only for their looks but also for their demeanour.
However, Xu Xiaoxiao, who had just arrived, possessed features that even women would envy, let alone men.
“No wonder. Such exceptional talent couldn’t possibly come from an ordinary family,” Cao Meihua praised.
Su Wen echoed the sentiment, acknowledging Xu Xiaoxiao’s abilities. Despite his rebellious streak and penchant for opposing Hengyang, it didn’t diminish his talents.
“When you meet Xu Xiaoxiao’s mother tomorrow, you’ll take a liking to her,” she said..
