CHAPTER 284: CHAPTER 276: CHEAP OLDER BROTHERS

Living in Hong Kong is truly delightful, especially under the protection of Boss Qiao, Sisi can almost strut around Hong Kong and feel incredibly comfortable!

However, trouble always occasionally comes knocking, and annoying people also occasionally show up to report.

Boss Qiao’s two sons who studied in the United States have returned. The elder son, Qiao Zhenbang, 20 years old, looks like a business elite apart from his pale eye sockets and somewhat pallid face.

The younger son, Qiao Xingbang, 18 years old, big and burly, has a face that screams "My dad is Boss Qiao, let’s see who dares to mess with me," which is asking for trouble. Apart from that, his appearance is still rather handsome.

Both brothers look nothing like Boss Qiao except for their eye-catching ears that are distinctly characteristic of the Qiao Family.

Although these two brothers do not share the same mother, their brotherly affection is still not bad. It is said their mothers were both nightclub hostesses, the brothers are probably the results of Boss Qiao’s fleeting romances. Speaking of which, Mu Xiulan is still Boss Qiao’s only official wife!

The two brothers perfectly embody the combination of a strategist and an enforcer; the elder, Qiao Zhenbang acts as the strategist, and the younger, Qiao Xingbang as the enforcer, with a common goal targeting Mu Xiulan and Sisi, aiming to drive the mother and daughter out of the Qiao Family.

Of course, all this is carried out secretly. In front of Boss Qiao and Mu Xiulan, they are all obedient and loving good sons and brothers, except Qiao Xiaoer, whose manners are not quite there yet, sometimes glaring and snorting; otherwise, everything else is performed very well, even Mu Xiulan thinks these two stepsons are quite good except for the younger being a bit troublesome.

One morning at breakfast, Boss Qiao slurped down a bowl of steaming porridge feeling very content, lovingly glanced at Sisi eating her dumplings with pouty annoyance, then looked at his younger son with improper eating and sitting behavior, and couldn’t help feeling frustrated.

No wonder they say daughters are daddy’s little quilted jackets; although Sisi is not his own biological daughter, ever since he accepted her, his health has improved and he found another way to make money. Unlike this younger son who knows nothing but fighting, spending money, and picking up girls, truly infuriating!

"Zhenbang, Xingbang, this summer vacation you guys accompany your sister out, make some friends, Zhenbang, as the elder brother, keep an eye on Xingbang outside, don’t let him cause any trouble, and most importantly, ensure your sister’s safety from those who are blind to provoke her, understood?" Boss Qiao still truly hopes the three siblings get along well and nicely.

"Understood, Dad, don’t worry!"

Qiao Zhenbang hides his bitterness, scoffs, a wild mixed-breed from the Mainland, treated like a treasure by Old Dou, truly senile!

Qiao Xingbang sneered, thinking Old Dou is just biased, cherishing an outsider over his own sons!

Mu Wulian smilingly added, "Zhenbang, Xingbang, Sisi is still young, as brothers, be more accommodating to her."

"How dare they not? I’d smack them myself!" Boss Qiao voiced his support for his wife.

"Keep your voice down when talking to the kids, stop being so aggressive." Mu Xiulan gently patted Boss Qiao’s hand, chiding him.

Sisi actually wanted to refuse Boss Qiao’s kindness; these days she has almost visited all of Hong Kong and really does not want to go out nor does she want to meet any new friends, but this was Boss Qiao’s sincere gesture, so she accepted it.

However, she had to be more cautious when going out with these two brothers. Although they conceal it well on the surface, with her sensitivity to people’s energy, she early detected intense malice in their hearts.

Qiao Xingbang is relatively okay, just a simple brute with brawn over brain, if he wanted to harm her, he’d probably do it blatantly, all of which she fears not. But Qiao Zhenbang is more troublesome; this person is deep and calculated, probably the type who likes to strike secretly, when out, she needs to be very cautious of Qiao Zhenbang.

Upon leaving the Qiao family mansion, Qiao Xingbang revealed his true colors. He parked the sports car by the roadside, casually leaned his foot on the steering wheel, and said in a careless tone, "Mainland Girl, I advise you to roll back to the Mainland sooner rather than shamelessly sticking around our Qiao family all day, just like your mother, shameless!"

"My mom is Mrs. Qiao, rightfully so, much more noble than some nameless nobodies. And it was Brother Li who was sent by Uncle Qiao to bring me here, what right do you have to drive me away? Hmph, since when did you, a little shrimp, get to call the shots in the Qiao Family?" Sisi couldn’t bother to pretend sibling affection with him.

"You! Say that again if you dare!"

Qiao Xingbang isn’t yet the renowned overseas dragon from his past life; right now, he’s just a hot-headed 18-year-old who was immediately angered by Sisi’s words.

"Where would I get the gall as a woman?" Sisi looked at the young man as if he were an idiot.

"Ha, your fox tail is finally showing. Acting like a sweet girl in front of my dad, and turning into a street girl behind his back, huh, I’m going to tell my dad!"

"Why don’t you go tell him now, see if your dad believes you or me? Also, have you been weaned yet? Stop mentioning ’my dad’ every other sentence, do you think you’re still a kindergartner?"

......

Sisi VS Qiao Xingbang, Sisi totally wins!

Sisi laughed triumphantly, all these years weren’t wasted, her skills in sarcasm were honed under the tutelage of Mr. Toxic, Brother Xin Hua, and she’s making decent progress.

Qiao Xingbang was so furious he was frothing at the mouth, his face turning green, hands trembling.

Qiao Zhenbang, watching the fun unfold, sensed it might be time to intervene, "Xingbang, you’re the older brother, you should be more lenient with sister Sisi. Sisi, your second brother might sound harsh, but he’s got a good heart. Don’t take it to heart!"

"Of course, I won’t worry, Big Brother Zhenbang, I won’t complain to Uncle Qiao. I’m not a kindergartner!"

Qiao Xingbang was stung again while Qiao Zhenbang gave an awkward smile; this sister-in-law wasn’t easy to mess with!

Qiao Zhenbang and Qiao Xingbang had plans with a group of rowdy friends to go horse racing; they didn’t want to change their plans because of Sisi, so she was brought along to the racetrack.

"Zhenbang, Xingbang, who is this beautiful lady? Aren’t you going to introduce her?"

A pretty boy approached, good-looking for sure, but a bit too creamy and sickeningly sweet, and right now he was eyeing Sisi with barely concealed admiration.

"Jun Ji, this is my sister, He Sisi. Sisi, this is Sixth Young Master of Li Family, Li Junji." Zhenbang introduced them.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Li!" Sisi nodded slightly in greeting.

"Miss Sisi, truly a beauty to behold!"

Li Junji courteously offered a hand-kiss, the touch of his warm soft skin made Sisi frown slightly, it felt uncomfortable.

Others too, about a dozen young men and women, all from wealthy Hong Kong families and classmates of Qiao Zhenbang from the United States, were visibly familiar with Zhenbang, demonstrating their close relationships.
