Shocking! The school heartthrob who was adopted by a wealthy family is actually a heiress!

Chapter 32 Zhaozhao Gege~

She spoke so bluntly, how could Qin Qiong not understand her implied meaning, and then take her to buy a dress?

Xia Zhirou had made a good plan, but Qin Qiong didn't do as she wished, only frowning slightly: "Milk tea?"

What a coincidence, Zhao Zhao's clothes were also stained by milk tea.

"Yeah. That person is so annoying. He dirtied my clothes and not only didn't apologize or compensate me, but he also threatened and intimidated me." Xia Zhirou pouted, sniffed, and looked pitiful.

"I'm having such a terrible time. On my first day in City B, my new dress was ruined and I was even threatened. If my mom finds out, she'll definitely start yelling at me again."

Whether out of comfort or to save face, Qin Qiong should have offered to take her shopping for clothes!

Since I've already bought it, I'm definitely not going to buy just one!
Thinking of this, Xia Zhirou's eyes revealed a confident smile. After all, Qin Qiong was rich. Buying a few luxury items was nothing to her.

She could almost picture the envious and jealous looks on her friends' faces when they saw her new clothes, their eyes gleaming with increasing smugness and greed.

However, this smugness vanished the moment he saw Qin Zhao coming downstairs, and his voice cracked with panic: "What are you doing here!"

"This is her home, where else would she be?" Qin Qiong's gaze swept between them. "You two know each other?"

Before Qin Zhao could speak, Xia Zhirou preemptively denied it: "I don't know him!"

So she was the bastard child we just found!

What did she just say about her? Wearing counterfeit goods, getting her clothes dirty, and then threatening and intimidating her. Her clothes were definitely bought for her by Qin Qiong; how could they be counterfeit!
She must have overheard her conversation with her mother! Xia Zhirou's face turned deathly pale!
No matter what, she absolutely cannot admit it!

"Zhaozhao, this is Xia Zhirou, your... cousin." Qin Qiong did give her some face after all. "Zhirou, this is Zhaozhao."

"Isn't Dad an only child?" Qin Zhao asked in confusion, his eyes filled with just the right amount of naivety and bewilderment.

“Yes, she is an only child. Zhirou is…” Qin Qiong paused, cleared his throat, and said, “She is the child of your great-great-grandfather’s brother’s child, the child of your Aunt Lin Wanhua.”

"..."

That's quite a long relationship.

“Zhao Zhao is still too young to remember so much.” Aunt Wang smiled and translated, “Relatives beyond three generations are distant relatives. Zhao Zhao, this is your distant cousin.”

Xia Zhirou's face flushed red and then turned pale. She immediately took Qin Qiong's arm and said coquettishly, "Auntie, look at Aunt Wang. She's just a servant... and she bullies me like this in front of you. She even tries to sow discord between us. I consider you my own aunt! No, I consider you my own mother! How can you let her bully me like this!"

"..."

Qin Qiong was unusually speechless.

"I didn't instigate anything, Miss Zhirou, you can't just slander people without any evidence!" Aunt Wang had long disliked her attitude. What era is this? She still calls herself a servant. She can't be a capitalist, but she insists on acting like a landlord.

“Normally, collateral relatives beyond three generations are considered distant relatives. This is a collateral relative beyond four generations. In our area, this is almost like a relationship with a stranger. I’m not making this up!” She felt utterly wronged.

“Our wife is good, but you can’t just see someone as good and want to recognize her as your mother. You have your own mother. If you talk like that, your mother will be sad. Outsiders will also laugh at you.”

Aunt Wang didn't utter a single swear word, but her insults were exceptionally vulgar. However, she still underestimated Xia Zhirou's education and the prestigious socialite classes she had attended.

“My mom said this is a double blessing, a symbol of family harmony. Only a sour chicken wouldn’t want to see people doing well!” Xia Zhirou deliberately emphasized the words “sour chicken.”

Aunt Wang was so angry she laughed. Those two, mother and daughter, were really good at scheming. The mother wanted to give her daughter away to be raised by someone else, and the daughter wanted to have someone else as her mother. She muttered under her breath, "Big cuckoo and little cuckoo are the same."

Qin Qiong's face paled, as if he were lost in some memory, a trace of pain and sorrow appearing on his face.

Qin Zhao noticed her emotions and, mimicking her, took Qin Qiong's hand and softly called out, "Mom."

Qin Qiong looked at Qin Zhao's worried eyes, paused for a moment, then came to her senses and forced a smile, "I'm fine, I was just thinking about something else." Aunt Wang knew she had misspoke, so she immediately fell silent and poured Qin Qiong a cup of tea.

The atmosphere grew heavy without anyone noticing. Qin Qiong changed the subject, breaking the awkward silence: "You've changed your clothes."

"It's quite a coincidence that Zhirou's clothes got stained with milk tea today too."

Xia Zhirou didn't dare to respond at all.

Qin Zhao glanced at the guilty Xia Zhirou and thought to himself, "Unfortunately, it was all because of the milk tea she bought that got it dirty."

"Do you want to buy new clothes? Mom will take you with you."

The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is; Aunt Wang herself is furious. Given Lin Wanhua's attitude, Qin Qiong was already being incredibly lenient by not kicking Xia Zhirou out, so why is he buying her clothes again!

Qin Zhao: "I already have plenty of clothes. Actually—"

"Actually, I didn't want that dress for a long time!" Xia Zhirou interrupted her, reluctantly pushing away the dress that was handed to her. "Auntie, didn't you say you were going to call my mom? Hurry up, she'll be worried soon."

Qin Qiong was slightly surprised. Xia Zhirou always dragged her to buy luxury clothes or bags. Just now, her words were full of hints. Why did she suddenly change her attitude?

Now that only the two of them were left in the living room, Qin Zhao didn't feel she needed to be tolerant and entertain her, and decided to leave as well.

Xia Zhirou called out to him:
"Gege (brother)~"

The voice was so sweet and charming that Qin Zhao involuntarily trembled.

"Zhao Zhao Ge Ge~"

It really was her. She turned around and looked at Xia Zhirou, whose tone had suddenly changed, with a puzzled expression.

"Brother, you're so handsome! Your skin is so good, and your legs are so long. Do lots of girls like you?" Xia Zhirou stood with her legs together and looked up at her with an innocent, upward gaze.

Xia Zhirou thought she had a chance, so she shrugged one shoulder and bit her lip: "If I didn't know you were my brother, I would have fallen for you already."

"..."

Qin Zhao lowered his eyes: "But how come I remember someone calling me a bastard? Not only me, but it seems like they also called Lin Shi a stupid dog."

"..."

Xia Zhirou's eyes were filled with tears: "That person is really bad, but it's definitely not me. I came directly from the airport. It was the first time I met my brother, and I was immediately captivated by his charm."

As she spoke, her hand slid up Qin Zhao's thigh, then stopped at the hem of her shirt, gently swaying it, her red lips slightly parted: "Right, brother~"

"..."

Her actions were not at all like those of a younger sister.

Besides, didn't Mom say that Xia Zhirou is older than her?
From Qin Zhao's perspective, he could see Xia Zhirou's shapely, even exaggerated, figure. A thought suddenly popped into her head…
