CHAPTER 253: CHAPTER 254: MISUNDERSTANDING

Chen Zhigang and Wang Jie were already a bit at a loss, surprised that the usually proud Brother Song could have such a humble moment.

"What do you mean by someone I like?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked bewildered at his question.

She, the person involved, didn’t know when she had someone she liked, so where did Song Weidong get it from?

Before she could speak, Su Wenbing, looking puzzled, spoke first: "Third sister, didn’t you say you don’t have a boyfriend? What’s going on?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked even more innocent: "I don’t know either."

After the question was asked, the whole scene fell into strange silence.

Song Weidong stood stiffly in place, but soon his face showed joy.

He pointed at Su Wenbing, and eagerly looked at Su Xiaoxiao: "Comrade Su, you mean, you don’t like him? You’re just ordinary friends, right?"

Su Xiaoxiao frowned at his words: "How could we be ordinary friends?"

Song Weidong’s barely sunny face instantly became clouded again.

It seems not only do they have someone they like, but they are already in a relationship.

His heart suddenly felt shattered into multiple pieces.

Just then, Su Xiaoxiao spoke: "Of course we’re not ordinary friends, he’s my brother, the kind that’s on the same household registration."

Song Weidong!!!

Snap, the expression on his face completely cracked the next moment.

Oh no, just now he not only cursed his future brother-in-law but also pushed him down, causing him to drop the lunch box in his hand.

At this moment, Su Wenbing finally pieced together the story from their few words.

This brat turned out to be the pursuer who’s been pestering his third sister.

He scrutinized Song Weidong up and down, with a critical look in his eyes.

By this time, Song Weidong had long lost his previous arrogance.

Anxiously being scrutinized up and down by Su Wenbing, his eyes were filled with humility and apology.

"Brother, I’m really sorry for earlier, it was all my misunderstanding, I’m apologizing to you."

As he said this, he directly bowed ninety degrees, solemnly giving Su Wenbing a bow.

Su Wenbing snorted coldly, bending down to pick up the lunch box on the ground.

Song Weidong quickly signaled to his two friends behind him, who instantly understood, hurriedly picking up the lunchbox before Su Wenbing.

Eight dishes wasted two, and the usually thrifty Su Wenbing’s face visibly darkened.

"Brother, don’t be angry, I’ll compensate you for those two dishes right away."

Song Weidong said as he gave another look to his two friends: "Zhigang, Wang Jie, you two go to the restaurant and buy these two dishes again for me, and add two meat dishes."

After finishing, he looked at Su Wenbing with a pleasing expression: "Brother, is this okay?"

"Everything that happened earlier was my fault, I’m apologizing to you, and the extra dishes are my way of making amends."

Su Wenbing is usually good-tempered, but whenever he thinks about this brat eyeing his third sister, he gets angry.

"Enough, stop trying to butter me up, and don’t keep pestering my third sister in the future."

While speaking, Wang Jie and Chen Zhigang were already coming out with the packed dishes.

The two of them respectfully handed the lunchbox to Su Wenbing: "Brother, are you satisfied with these dishes?"

Su Wenbing glanced at Song Weidong—this man was certainly generous, the two extra dishes were sweet and sour ribs and braised fish, both meat dishes.

Song Weidong knew he was angry because of what happened earlier and quickly reached into his pocket, then turned to Wang Jie and Chen Zhigao beside him, urgently pressing them: "You two give me all the money you have on you, consider it a loan that I’ll repay later."

At his words, the two were dumbfounded; Song Weidong said he was going to treat them for a meal, and now not only did the meal not happen, but he also cleaned out all the money they had on them.

But as good friends, since Song Weidong asked, they couldn’t refuse, and quickly took out all the money they had on them, putting together a stack and handing it over.

"Brother Song, this is all we have on us, you take it."

Song Weidong thanked them, took the money, and handed it all to Su Wenbing.

"Brother, take this money, consider it compensation from me."

Su Wenbing frowned: "What are you doing?"

"I’ve already compensated, take this money back... "

Before he finished speaking, he saw Song Weidong bow deeply to him again, then grab his two friends and turn to run.

Su Wenbing: "..."

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao, bewildered: "Third sister, they’re all gone, what should we do with this money?"

Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched uncontrollably; what’s up with these people, why do they always like to give money?

"Just hold onto it for now, I’ll find a chance to give it back to him."

Su Xiaoxiao had to say.

Having heard this, Su Wenbing quickly handed the money over to her.

After thinking about it, he looked at his little sister’s very attractive face and warned seriously.

"Third sister, I’m telling you, men aren’t anything good, don’t let someone giving you a little thing make you give yourself away, you know?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

When her brother gets serious, he’s even scolding himself?

After saying that, Su Wenbing realized what he had said and quickly cleared his throat to cover his embarrassment: "Of course, except me and your second brother."

"Alright, let’s hurry home, if we’re later, our mom might have the meal ready."

Su Xiaoxiao hopped on the back seat of the bicycle, clutching a pile of packed lunchboxes, feeling weighed down, almost crushing her arms.

Thinking to herself: Nowadays packing food requires a deposit for aluminum lunchboxes, which is inconvenient and unsanitary, how great it would be to have disposable lunchboxes or convenient food bags.

In the future, when individual economies receive state support, she must look into setting up a disposable lunchbox and plastic bag production factory, business will surely thrive.

Even in modern times, such factories still have a constant market.

While she was happily thinking to herself, she realized that the bicycle had somehow already stopped.

Lifting her head, she didn’t expect to already be home.

Usually taking her almost an hour to ride, her brother managed to get them home in less than half an hour.

Looking at the two long legs Su Wenbing had rooted firmly on the ground, Su Xiaoxiao was the one feeling frustrated.

Why is she the shortest in the family, unable to touch the ground when riding a bicycle?

While fretting and having absurd thoughts, she heard a warm voice calling her from nearby.

Su Xiaoxiao looked up and saw Grandma Liu, full of smiles, calling her.

"Xiaoxiao girl, Wenbing, back home?"

Su Wenbing nodded, confusedly asking her: "Grandma, what brings you here so late? Is there something you need?"

It was only then that Grandma Liu remembered her purpose, quickly grabbing Su Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao girl, Grandma has an enormous piece of good news to tell you."
