Chapter 10: Forgiven
Su Jun had a headache whenever the mischievous Su Qiao was mentioned. He gave Su Su a chicken drumstick and explained, "Fifth Brother made a mistake and will be locked in the darkroom for three days."
"Oh..." Su Su chewed the drumstick thoughtfully and ate her rice obediently.
Before she time traveled, Su Qiao's ending was very tragic. When the Su family was in trouble, not only did the family lose their source of income, but they also took on a huge amount of debt. Even Su Qiao, the one who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, had no choice but to find a way out for the Su family.
Under such circumstances, Su Qiao was set up and became addicted to drugs. As a result, he was decadent all day long, and his mental state worsened. One day, when Su Qiao went overdosed on drugs, he ended his crazy and short life.
It was good that she could make Su Qiao suffer a bit more now. If she could help Su Jun educate him a little more, Su Qiao would not go astray in the future.
"Big Brother, I have something to say to you." Then, just as the three of them were eating silently, Su Ren suddenly said.
Su Jun turned his head to look over. Su Ren was looking at him with a begging expression, faint tears flashing in her eyes.
"Let's talk here." Su Jun said in a somewhat estranged manner, looking at the little girl, Su Su, who had put down her spoon and was looking at the two of them with her little head twisting around.
"Okay." Su Ren bit her lips and steadied her emotions, and tears suddenly appeared in her eyes. Then, finally, she sobbed and said, "I've been lost with my biological parents since I was three years old, and then I came to the Su family. During these five years in the Su family, I've been taken care of by my brothers, and my brothers spoil me very much."
Su Jun didn't say a word. Instead, he looked at her quietly and waited for her to finish her words.
"Sometimes, I would wonder, if only my brothers were my biological brothers, then I would be the happiest girl in the world. That's why I said things that I shouldn't have said when I was aggrieved and hurt your heart." Su Ren choked on her sobs, two streams of tears flowed out of her eyes, looking exceptionally gentle and pitiful.
Su Su stared at her without blinking, and her chubby little face was filled with doubt.
What was Su Ren trying to do by acting so pitiful? Was she trying to save her image in Big Brother's heart?
Su Ren felt a little uncomfortable under Su Su's stare, but she persisted in putting on a show. "Until today, I suddenly realized that only my brothers are the best to me. I was ignorant, but, in my heart, I've always felt that we're a true family, and family love is irrespective of blood relationship."
As she said this, Su Ren sobbed a few more times. She looked at Su Jun with tears in her eyes and said, "I know that Big Brother has always regarded me as the most beloved sister. I was the one who didn't know how to express my love. I'm sorry, Big Brother."
Seeing Su Ren speaking emotionally, Su Jun looked at his sister, whom he had doted on for five years, and his heart softened. After all, he was the one who had watched Su Ren grow up. Although she was a little pampered, she was not entirely ungrateful.
As for what she did in the dream, it might not be true. He could not accuse her just because of a dream.
Hence, Su Jun nodded and replied, "Alright, I will forgive you. However, remember that you are also a member of the Su family."
"Alright, I will remember it. Big Brother is so nice." After Su Ren was forgiven, her cries immediately turned into a smile. She wiped away her tears and talked and laughed like how she used to interact with Su Jun.
Su Su sighed in her heart, but on the surface, she still pretended to be a four-year-old child who didn't know anything.
After all, Big Brother had been together with Su Ren for five years and had an emotional foundation with her. So, it seemed that Su Su had to expose Su Ren's dark side so that Big Brother would be more vigilant against her.
After eating, Su Jun went back to the study to put away his things and then went back to work at the office.
The servants also prepared juice for Su Su and Su Ren, so at the moment, Su Su was still sitting leisurely drinking her juice.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Lu Wei, standing not far away, who was suddenly waving to Su Ren.
