ch 54.2 - Here Comes Trouble (2/2)

And right now he would like to know what was going on also!

Cheng Biyuan frowned deeply but didn’t respond. He turned and look at his daughter and wanted to see what she would say.

Cheng Xiao Xiao understood that she couldn’t keep hiding all these things from her family. Unfortunately the siblings were too young, telling them the truth would risk bigger troubles.

He understood her father’s look. Looking at her younger brothers and sister, she thought about it for a little bit and finally said, “Zheng Yuan, Zheng Bin, Lan Lan, the family had indeed changed a lot. There were many things that we hadn’t told you. But, don’t worry, you will find out soon enough. So let’s just leave it for now, okay?”

The two brothers exchanged a look, nodded wisely and said no more. Little Lan Lan, on the other hand, shouted out, “Big sister, what can’t you tell me? I promise I won’t tell!”

“Big sister will tell you, just be a good girl right now!” Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled at her younger sister, trying to console her.

At almost 13, Cheng Zheng Yuan was not a child any more. Not to mentioned he came from a well established family. He was quite mature for his age. Taking his younger sister’s hand, he said, “Lan Lan, let’s listen to big sister. We will have fish tomorrow, okay?”

“Fish again? We have been having fish everyday!”

This trick didn’t work with her any more. Immediately, Cheng Zheng Yuan said, “Okay, no fish. Why don’t we ask big sister to draw for you, what do you say?”

“Big sister can draw?” Little Lan Lan’s eyes widened, she looked at Cheng Xiao Xiao ecstatically.

Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded, “Yes!”

“Wah! Okay! Big sister will draw for me tomorrow!”

Finally pacified the little kid, everybody laughed. After some more chitchatting, Cheng Xiao Xiao pulled her brother aside.

“Big sister, what’s up?”
