Chapter 73: Hush Money

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chu Qing drove around Jinmen City for two days. He had been in this world for a while. Other than accepting it, he had no other choice. However, he couldn’t help but feel strange.

As the day grew late, Chu Qing returned home, driving his car. The mall attendant had contacted him, informing him that the clothes he had purchased had been delivered. If he hurried back and changed into his new clothes, he would still have time to attend the gathering. Deciding to let go of past grievances, Chu Qing chose to embrace a fresh start and move forward.

Zhuo Buqun, you have not changed one bit even in this life. You’d better be careful.

After parking the car downstairs, Chu Qing got out and saw the old building. He wondered if he should encourage his parents to move to a new house.

“Wow, Little Qing. Seems like you’ve managed to charm a wealthy woman. This car is really impressive. Is it brand new?”

Chu Qing was taken aback by Chu Xiao’s sudden scream, causing him to glance toward the source of the noise quickly. Realizing that Chu Xiao was the one who had screamed, he swiftly turned around and rushed towards him, placing a hand over Chu Xiao’s mouth to stifle any further sound.

Chu Qing felt a headache coming on when dealing with Chu Xiao. He didn’t want his parents to see the car just yet, as it would be difficult to explain. His mother might be understanding, but his father was a different story. The thought of his father’s incessant nagging made Chu Qing shudder with apprehension.

Chu Xiao struggled vigorously, desperately trying to free her mouth and speak.

“Shhh. Keep your voice down,” Chu Qing whispered, acknowledging his unfortunate encounter with Chu Xiao. However, he couldn’t possibly resort to harming Chu Xiao to silence her, could he? After giving her a gentle reminder, Chu Qing released his grip and let go of her.

Chu Xiao could finally speak. She immediately shouted, “Little Qing, you’ve grown up. Even I, your older sister, have also grown up…”

Chu Qing once again covered Chu Xiao’s mouth, realizing that there was no other option. It was clear that Chu Xiao genuinely had no recollection of past events. This time, Chu Qing gradually released his grip only after silently communicating with Chu Xiao through their eyes.

Chu Xiao finally stopped shouting. She pulled Chu Qing’s arm and said softly, “Little Qing, you keep telling me that this car was given to you by that woman, Ye Chenxi. Also, how far have the two of you progressed? Although she’s a little older than you, it’s good for a woman to be older. She knows how to dote on people…”

As Chu Qing made his way upstairs, Chu Xiao tightly grasped his arm, giving the appearance that Chu Qing was pulling her along. This unintentional physical contact allowed Chu Qing to feel the warmth and softness of Chu Xiao’s chest against his arm.

Chu Qing struggled with all his might and pulled his arm out. When Chu Xiao tried to grab him again, he hurriedly dodged.

This time, Chu Xiao had something else to say. She narrowed her eyes and said with a wretched expression, “You’ve changed after being with a woman…”

Chu Qing’s expression turned dark, and Chu Xiao quickly interjected, “You don’t have to explain. I understand you’re just shy. Haha, even my little brother knows how to be shy. Hehe.”

Chu Qing couldn’t stand it anymore. He turned around impatiently and said, “I just bought the lottery and won 3,000 yuan.”

Chu Xiao rolled her eyes and seemed to understand something. She rubbed her hands and said, “Little Qing, have you thought of how to explain the car to Dad?”

Chu Qing wasn’t naive. He understood that Chu Xiao had ulterior motives for not speaking up earlier. He realized that she was implying that she wanted to keep their encounter a secret. The reason she mentioned being shy was to test his reaction and see if he would take the bait.

Now that he had diverted Chu Xiao’s attention, Chu Qing was no longer in a hurry. He slapped his head and said, “Sigh, why do I seem to have forgotten the account pin?”

Chu Xiao’s face twitched. “Little brat, stop teasing me…”

Having grown accustomed to his sister’s shameless behavior, Chu Qing remained unfazed. As Chu Xiao was about to finish speaking, Chu Qing casually interjected, “I’m attending a class reunion tonight. You know, our father…” Before Chu Qing could finish speaking, Chu Xiao patted her big chest and said, “Don’t worry, leave it to me. I’ll take care of Dad.”

“And about the car…”

”1 promise I won’t say anything,” Chu Xiao vowed.

With a sense of contentment, Chu Qing retrieved his phone and transferred 5,000 yuan to Chu Xiao. After all, he believed that his money was meant to be spent by his family, and he was confident that he could earn more if it ever ran out.

After receiving the money, Chu Xiao’s demeanor lightened, and she took a few steps forward. Suddenly, she turned back and asked, “Don’t tell me you’re actually being financially supported by Ye Chenxi. I heard that her family…”

Chu Qing’s expression soured as he felt like he had wasted 5,000 yuan. Thankfully, despite Chu Xiao’s lack of integrity, she still had some sense of propriety. When Chu Qing informed his father about attending a class reunion, his father bombarded him with a barrage of annoying questions. Were there any female students attending? When would he be back? Would there be drinking involved? The inquiries seemed never-ending.

Chu Xiao came to the rescue just in time, diverting their father’s attention away from Chu Qing. As Chu Qing changed his clothes and prepared to leave, their father continued his nagging, but this time focusing on Chu Xiao instead.

He said that Chu Xiao was insensible, lazy, and fooling around all day. It was not easy for her to marry a better man in the future… Chu Qing only heard a few words and his head hurt.

He really admired Chu Xiao’s self-control.. However, judging from Chu Xiao’s fiery gaze, he would probably have to pay more when he returned…
