179: Chapter 179: Song Xiaoru’s Panic
“Sis, what’s wrong with you?
Why do you look a bit off?” Song Xiaodong asked, puzzled, looking at Song Xiaoru.
At that mont, Song Xiaoru was struggling fiercely inside.
She was contemplating whether to tell Song Xiaodong that he was actually not their parents’ biological child and that they were not biologically siblings.
She knew that Song Xiaodong had the right to know and she should let Song Xiaodong know.
However, deep inside she wanted to conceal it.
She feared that once Song Xiaodong knew, their sibling affection would vanish.
Having relied on each other for so many years, she really didn’t want to lose this brother.
She also knew that even if Song Xiaodong found out she wasn’t his real sister, he would treat her the sa.
But for so reason, she feared that their relationship would change.
This fear of loss made Song Xiaoru unsure of what exactly was troubling her, but in the end, she decided not to reveal the truth, softly saying, “Nothing, I’m just tired from the day.”
“Then get to bed, I’ll give you a massage, it will make you feel better in no ti.”
“No need, no need, we’ll do it later,” Song Xiaoru said, smiling, then continued to lower her head and tidy up, saying, “Dongzi, you ntioned you’ve seen a badge like this before.
Where did you see it?”
“That was in the hands of people with special identities.
If this item also represents a special identity, then it should be higher than those people.
But how could our family have one?
Sis!” Song Xiaodong suddenly widened his eyes in shock.
“What’s wrong?” Song Xiaoru was startled and beca nervous to even look at Song Xiaodong.
“Sis, you don’t suppose our parents were so big shots, and then they hid away to live a normal life?”
Song Xiaoru initially felt relief, then her expression darkened, and she said, “You really have so imagination, don’t you know what our parents are like?
They were just ordinary people.”
Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, “Yeah, that’s true.
If our parents had been that remarkable, they wouldn’t have left us so early, sigh…”
At this, both Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru beca a bit downhearted.
A while later, Song Xiaodong still sowhat suspicious, said, “But where did this badge co from?” Then he stared straight at Song Xiaoru.
“Why…
why are you looking at
like that?” Song Xiaoru asked, flustered by Song Xiaodong’s stare.
Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, “Sis, you couldn’t have been the one our parents picked up, and this badge ca with you?”
“What…
what nonsense are you talking about?
How could that be possible?” Then she emphatically stated, “I’m definitely our parents’ biological daughter, there’s absolutely no mistake.”
“How do you know?”
“I know because there was one ti I got hurt, Dad even gave
a blood transfusion, don’t you rember?”
“Right, right, that did happen.
Even though I was only a little over three, I rember it too.
Hehe, I was just joking.
I wouldn’t let anyone take my sister away.”
Song Xiaoru breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Alright, stop overthinking it.
This item, it’s hard to say where it ca from, it might just be sothing our parents picked up by accident.”
“That’s true, but hey, give this thing to .
I really like it.”
“Sure, you keep it then.” Song Xiaoru nodded, but inside, she felt a lingering unease.
Having hidden a card for so many years, Song Xiaodong had unexpectedly brought it out at this ti.
Could it be that his own brother’s origin was also about to be revealed?
When facing problems, people often overlook themselves.
Although it was a joke, Xiaodong had never considered the possibility that he wasn’t the biological child of his parents.
By the ti the two of them had finished tidying up, it was past ten o’clock, and then they both took a shower before going to bed.
Right before sleep, Song Xiaoru actually ca over and kissed Song Xiaodong.
This was a pleasant surprise for Song Xiaodong, who said, “Sis, have you gotten used to this now?”
With a tender smile, Song Xiaoru replied, “Yes, I’ve co to accept it.
In the future, when you get married, if I am still close to you like this, your wife won’t be happy.
So, I might as well be affectionate while you are still unmarried.”
Giggling, Xiaodong said, “Then I’ll just never get married.”
Xiaoru pinched Xiaodong’s cheek and said, “Stop talking nonsense and go to sleep properly.”
That night, Song Xiaoru slept restlessly, tossing and turning for a long ti before she fell asleep, and her sleep was not sound.
In her dreams, Xiaodong left her, departing forever, which broke her heart.
The next day, Song Xiaoru went to the office while Song Xiaodong began moving.
In reality, the only things from the house that needed to be moved were so clothes; there wasn’t much else, so he simply called a taxi and took the items over.
The household appliances were delivered quickly; setting them up was simple and took just a morning to complete everything.
Looking around the new ho, Xiaodong was quite satisfied.
The new ho was essentially complete, and he could move in that very evening.
Around four o’clock, Xiaodong arrived at the entrance of Song Xiaoru’s company.
Coming to pick up his sister after work was indeed a joyful occasion.
As Song Xiaoru walked out with a group of colleagues, she learned of a major developnt: the company’s general manager had been replaced.
“A new king, new followers,” the company’s employees felt uneasy as the new manager planned an evening of dining and karaoke, an invitation none dared to refuse.
The new manager, nad Wu Songtao, was around forty-five or forty-six, with a shiny, round face and a protruding belly, surrounded by employees, he looked exceedingly pleased with himself.
As they reached the entrance, Xiaoru saw Xiaodong and imdiately said to Wu Songtao, “Manager Wu, I’m sorry, but my brother and I have so matters to attend to, so we won’t be able to join everyone tonight.”
Wu Songtao, who had been struck by Xiaoru’s beauty upon arriving at the company, was already plotting how to win her over, though it had only been a day.
Now that Xiaoru had turned him down right from the start, he felt quite displeased.
Frowning, he said, “Xiaoru, it’s my first gathering since I arrived.
Are you really going to refuse
like this?”
If it had been before, Xiaoru might have felt scared, but now, with improved conditions at ho and Xiaodong being so capable, she felt sowhat detached.
Seeing Wu Songtao’s lecherous deanor, how could she not understand his intentions?
She smiled slightly and said, “I’m sorry, General Manager Wu, I really have sothing to do and I can’t drink either.
Going would just dampen everyone’s spirits, so it’s better if I don’t.”
Wu Songtao’s face darkened as he said, “Xiaoru, by acting this way, you’re making things difficult for .
I was planning to promote you.
How can I do that now when you behave like this?”
For the average employee, these words carried a heavy threat.
