Chapter 48: A kept mistress? (Part 1/3)
Qi Shaorong returned to the dormitory. Qi Shaoru stood up and sarcastically said: “Fourth Brother, you are such a busy man that you finally returned. Fourth Brother, I hear that you don"t go to cla.s.s all day, instead, you are missing for the whole day. What are you busy with! What do you have to be so busy with!”
Qi Shaorong took off his jacket and casually sat on the sofa. He ignored Qi Shaoru"s series of questions, and asked slowly: “Looking for me? Is there something?”
Qi Shaoru said with some anger: “Is there something? You still have the face to ask.”
Qi Shaorong was puzzled: “If I don"t ask, how would I know if there is something?”
“You conspired to murder a member of the family.”
“You are talking about that dead pig? He harbored sinister motives, and as a result, he met his retribution. Who can blame me? This has already been handled by the princ.i.p.al, so there is no need for Fifth Sister to meddle.” Qi Shaorong said.
“No matter what, Qi He is still a member of the Qi Family. You still dealt such a heavy punishment.”
“Fifth Sister, you can"t utilize your young age to speak so casually! The dead fat man is unlucky, how can the blame be pushed to me? I heard that he is still alive, so lucky! To do such a thing like a dog stealing chicken yet still not die. Additionally, Fifth Sister, such an unclean girl, to takes the initiative like this.” Qi Shaorong said slowly.
[TN: Dog stealing chicken 偷鸡摸狗 is an idiom that means stealing.]
“Waste, don"t go too far.” Qi Shaoru"s body was full of anger. One glance made her desire to enlarge her att.i.tude in provocation.
“Fifth sister, desist.” Qi Shaofu entered the room.
Qi Shaoru saw Qi Shaofu who was in front of Qi Shaorong, unwillingly restrained her body"s pressure. “Third Brother, you don"t know how excessive Fourth Brother is. The father spent a lot of money to send him to the college, but he conspired to murder one of the family"s children.”
Qi Shaofu looked at Qi Shaoru and said: “This matter, Qi He is not right. It has nothing to do with you.”
Qi Shaoru pursed her lips, unreconciled, saying: “Even if Qi He is wrong, he shouldn"t have been given such a heavy punishment!”
“I installed a trap to protect against thieves. How would I know that Qi He would be a thief. But no doubt this guy has good fate, doing such a thing yet still having Fifth Sister protecting him. Fifth Sister, you would not fancy some random pig now. Don"t you like Zhuang Hao? When did your standards dropped so low?" Qi Shaorong held his chin and looked puzzled.
Qi Shaoru blushed and says, “What are you talking about?”
“You are so excited to run here and found trouble, it"s very much like something you would do for a lover!” Qi Shaorong said innocently.
Qi Shaoru blushed, viciously eyeing Qi Shaorong. She turned her head at Qi Shaofu, saying: “Third Brother, you see him?”
Qi Shaofu looked at Shaoru and said, “Okay, the two of you stop quarreling.”
“Fourth brothers, your house is quite good!” Qi Shaofu said.
Qi Shaorong said carelessly: “I can make do.”
Qi Shaofu frowned and said: “The princ.i.p.al of the Tianlan College, Hu Feng, doesn"t do anything without money. To rent your courtyard, you surely need a lot of money.”
“You don"t need much. 10,000 gold coins a year.” Qi Shaorong said.
Qi Shaofu"s eyes widened and said, “What?”
“You are too wasteful.” Qi Shaoru couldn"t help it. Ten thousand gold coins! Qi Shaoru"s heart twitched. Qi Shaoru has always thought that Qi Shaorong was dest.i.tute. As a result, the other party was so free and easy. “You go so far as to damage your own family. Where did you get so many gold coins.”
“I didn"t spend Qi Family"s money. What do you have to complain about.” Qi Shaorong said.
