Because that deskmate was the school hunk’s younger sister, many girls who liked the school hunk would try to please her. The snacks in her locker never ran out.
She also received a lot of love letters and similar things from people who wanted her to pass them on to her brother. The girl always said that she was distressed, yet she was proud to have such a popular but doting brother.
Rong Xi hated seeing her smug face. Aloud, she had told the girl that she envied her for having such a handsome and good brother, but in fact, she despised her.
Isn’t he just her brother?
She had one, too, but her father had kicked him out when she was very young. Initially, she had no intention of interacting with Rong Si because her mother had repeatedly reminded her that she was the future heir of the Rong family. Since Rong Si was kicked out, he was just a stray dog and worth nothing. Even if she saw him begging on the street one day, she should ignore him.
However, after seeing him, Rong Xi was stunned. His impeccable face kept appearing in her mind. He was miles ahead of the school hunk. If she had such a brother to dote on her and pamper her, she would be as happy as a princess, right?
When he did, would she still need to listen to her deskmate brag proudly in her ear every day?
However, what could she do to make Rong Si acknowledge her as his sister?
It was hard to think of anything.
Rong Xi watched as Rong Si and Su Jiu got into the car, her hand clenched. If Rong Si had acknowledged her as his sister, then she would be the one holding his arm now, not that brat!
Rong Xi was very unhappy as she thought of how Su Jiu had insulted her in the ward just now. When she returned home, she kept a straight face.
Qiao Man saw that her daughter was unhappy and snorted. “You came back? I thought you were going to stay after that touching show you put on with that brat.”
Rong Xi pursed her lips. “Mommy, you have a problem with Big Brother Rong Si’s mother. How can you vent your anger on him? Besides, his mother is lying in the hospital, and we don’t know if she will wake up. Shouldn’t you be happy already? Stop sulking.”
Qiao Man was unhappy to hear that. “What? Are you blaming me? You stupid girl, if I hadn’t chased him out with his mother, do you think there would be a place for you here now? I told you: You’re the heir of the Rong family. Remember that!
“Your father isn’t young anymore, and he’s been very forgetful since his injury. However, he remembers that he has a son. More than once, he has said that he wanted to give him some of the family assets.
“You know that in the minds of most men, their son is the heir. So you can’t let your guard down. You have to work with me. Don’t let that brat take the opportunity to take away what I’ve worked so hard to get for you!”
Rong Xi pursed her lips again and whispered, “Aren’t you and your people in control of the company now? Dad is completely under your control. Does it matter what he thinks?”
Qiao Man’s face darkened. She reached out and poked Rong Xi’s head. “I think you’re stupid. Have you never seen a boy before or what? All he did was flash his pretty face, and he’s already won you over. You’re even thinking of building a good relationship with him, aren’t you?”
Rong Xi argued back defiantly. “I just want a brother. What’s wrong with that? My deskmate talks about her brother every day. It’s irritating! Also, he’s Dad’s son after all. It’s normal for Dad to want to give him some of the family assets.”
