Chapter 146
With someone supporting her, Yan Someone immediately put on an arrogant air: "Hmph! Indeed, my sister is the most formidable."
Liu Hua felt that something was amiss, but she couldn't quite pinpoint what. She shook her head helplessly: "You two have fun here. I'll go help Uncle Xu in the kitchen."
Sui Yan lifted her little foot and kicked Xu Mo: "Xu Mo, help me get some beef jerky for Ti Zi to eat. It probably hasn't had breakfast."
Xu Mo got up reluctantly: "I don't have any of those snack beef jerkies you bought."
He went to the cabinet in the kitchen and took out a bag of beef jerky, pouring more than half onto a plate and bringing it over to Ti Zi.
Ti Zi was lying in a shaded corner, pawing at a small ball Sui Yan had bought for it. When it saw Xu Mo coming to feed it, it happily wagged its tail to greet him.
Xu Mo carefully set the plate in front of Ti Zi, then said sourly: "My sister told me to get this for you! Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with you."
Ti Zi didn't hold a grudge against the child: "Woof."
Xu Mo squatted in front of Ti Zi, just watching it eat.
Ti Zi felt this kid's gaze was a bit too intense, so it thought for a moment and pushed the plate forward a little: "Woof?"
Want some?
Xu Mo pursed his lips: "I don't want any of this disgusting stuff."
Ti Zi calmly pulled the plate back: "Woof."
It's your choice whether to eat or not.
Xu Mo glanced surreptitiously towards his sister, then poked Ti Zi again: "I'll tell my sister you bullied me."
Ti Zi looked perplexed: "?"
What's this all about?
Just as Ti Zi was baffled, it watched helplessly as the kid Xu Mo put on a pathetic act and fell to the ground: "Ah!"
True to expectations, Sui Yan hurried over with a bear-shaped cookie: "Xu Mo, what's wrong?"
Xu Mo looked pitiful with moist eyes: "Sister, Ti Zi pushed me just now."
Sui Yan looked confused at Ti Zi lying in the corner, then at her brother on the ground: "Xu Mo, Ti Zi wouldn't push anyone. It's super, super well-behaved."
Xu Mo squeezed out a few tears with effort: "Don't you believe me, sister?"
Sui Yan nodded sincerely at first, but then shook her head immediately: "No, Xu Mo, Ti Zi really wouldn't push anyone."
Xu Mo had figured it out - whenever it involved Ti Zi, his sister would unconditionally believe Ti Zi.
He got so angry that he stood right up: "Why does my sister always believe Ti Zi whenever it acts like that? But not me?"
Sui Yan took a bite of the cookie: "I know you're lying, and Ti Zi wasn't acting at all!"
Ti Zi lowered its head guiltily on the side.
Oh no, why does Sui Yan trust it so much? But it's not that well-behaved!!
Xu Mo's eyes were sharp: "Look, sister, Ti Zi's feeling guilty!"
Sui Yan took another bite of the cookie: "Ti Zi isn't feeling guilty, it just doesn't want to bother with you."
Xu Mo: "..." Ugh, his sister must have been brainwashed by Ti Zi.
He was so annoyed that he ran off and plopped onto the couch in a sulk.
Sui Yan shook her head helplessly. She squatted down and stroked Ti Zi's fur: "Ti Zi, Xu Mo's just being childish, he didn't mean it. And our Ti Zi at home is always right!"
She wasn't dumb, of course she could tell Ti Zi was sometimes pretending to be pitiful. But she enjoyed playing along with Ti Zi, enjoyed supporting it.
Ti Zi rubbed against Sui Yan's leg confidently: "Woof~"
Sui Yan is always right too!
Sui Yan knew Ti Zi didn't like playing with her siblings, so she just sat down right next to it.
The little girl saw Ti Zi eating happily, and couldn't resist reaching out for the beef jerky on the plate: "Ti Zi, this beef jerky is for everyone. Mom and I picked it out especially."
Ti Zi knew better, so it didn't stop Sui Yan.
It was Xu Mo who ran over, only to find his sister hadn't followed!
So he came back angrily with a plate of snacks: "Sister, you don't love me at all!"
Sui Yan handed Xu Mo a piece of beef jerky: "Do you want some?"
Xu Mo: "...Yeah."
After an odd exchange and the two childish ones pushing each other around, the three of them ended up happily eating Ti Zi's beef jerky together.
Xu Mo struggled to chew a piece: "Sister, this beef jerky is too hard, I can't bite it."
Sui Yan nodded vigorously: "Yeah, but Ti Zi eats it best."
Xu Mo thought for a moment: "Wait a sec, sister."
The little boy ran upstairs quickly and brought down a few bags of relatively normal beef jerky.
"Sister, this one's really delicious!"
Sui Yan had already opened one and taken it: "Mmm, yummy! It'd be better if it was a bit spicier though."
Xu Mo frowned slightly: "I think it's just right, too spicy wouldn't be good."
When Liu Hua walked out of the kitchen, she immediately spotted the two youngest kids squatting in the corner eating something.
She put her hands on her hips and shouted over: "Sui Yan, are you stealing Ti Zi's beef jerky again? And getting Xu Mo to join you!"
Sui Yan's cheeks were bulging: "No way, Xu Mo and I are eating the little beef jerkies that our brother and sister bought!"
Liu Hua rolled her eyes speechlessly and was about to walk back when her phone vibrated in her pocket.
As she walked, she called out: "Xu Yi, you got a message!"
Xu Yi was still in the kitchen, his voice drifting out: "Liu Hua, please check it for me. It's probably from Qingrui or Neighbor Mr. Sui."
Their messages... should be about Sui Yan's matter.
Liu Hua opened Xu Yi's phone right away and checked the message.
It wasn't until she reached Xu Yi that Liu Hua said thoughtfully: "It's a message from Sui Jinhong. He says the evidence on our side has been processed, and Qingrui also got in touch with the research institute today."
Xu Yi turned his face, his gaze soft as he looked at Liu Hua: "That's good then."
Liu Hua didn't notice Xu Yi's gaze at all, she was focused on studying the files that Sui Jinhong had sent over.
Xu Yi smiled wryly and shook his head, his gaze returning to the pot of simmering soup.
At that time, Sui Yu and the others who were lying dead in the living room also received the message sent by Bai Qingrui. They exchanged glances with each other, their mouths curling up involuntarily.
This time... they must let Lu Yunling know the price to pay for harming their little girl.
