“Brother Zhai, I apologize to you on behalf of my brother. Really, he’s just feeling heartache for me. He didn’t hit you deliberately. I hope you can forgive my brother. If you really want to blame someone, blame me. My brother did this for me. I will try my best to control my emotions in the future and not look so sad or uncomfortable so that my brother wouldn’t find you trouble in the future anymore.”

“Oh…”

After a long while, Zhai Yaohui replied indifferently.

“Oh?” Qi Minlan couldn’t help but repeat his words. What kind of answer was this?

She was hurt so badly by Zhai Yaohui and had suffered so many grievances. She didn’t allow her brother to take revenge, and Zhai Yaohui only gave her an ‘oh’?

Where was Zhai Yaohui’s conscience? Where were his guilt and remorse?

“Is there anything else?” Zhai Yaohui stood up. He wiped his face and neck with a towel.

She had to say that the physique of a man who was a soldier was really attractive. He was like a walking hormonal machine.

Even women who didn’t know how to appreciate muscled men could not help but blush when they witnessed this scene.

Qi Minlan’s eyes floated for a while. She didn’t look at Zhai Yaohui’s looming and well-defined chest muscles. “Nothing else.”

“If that’s the case, go back. I have to take a shower.”

“…” Qi Minlan took a breath. “Brother Zhai, are you angry at me because of my brother?”

Her brother wanted to hit Zhai Yaohui. What did this have to do with her? Zhai Yaohui’s attitude wasn’t right. Was his conscience really eaten by a dog?

“No.” Zhai Yaohui hung the towel on his neck. “I really have something to attend to.”

“Oh. I’ll head back then.”

Zhai Yaohui’s attitude was quite infuriating. Was Zhai Yaohui angry as he had fought with Shi Peng? Qi Minlan couldn’t tell from Zhai Yaohui’s expressionless face if he was angry, and even if he was, she also couldn’t tell if he was angry at Shi Peng or her.

Out of helplessness, Qi Minlan could only leave solemnly once again.

Once Qi Minlan left, Shi Peng walked over from the small room next to him. After laughing at himself, he sat next to Zhai Yaohui and said nothing.

Zhai Yaohui looked at Shi Peng pitifully. Shi Peng was quite unlucky to have such a sister.

Shi Peng wasn’t an unreasonable person. Even if Qi Minlan cried and kicked up a fuss, it was impossible for Shi Peng to find Zhai Yaohui and beat him up.

Both of them had the habit of exchanging blows with each other. In order to pacify Qi Minlan, Shi Peng came over to exchange blows with Zhai Yaohui after promising her verbally.

Actually, Qi Minlan wasn’t very observant.

It was never an overwhelming victory for either Zhai Yaohui or Shi Peng. If the two of them really fought hand-to-hand, it was impossible for Zhai Yaohui to just have tattered clothes and sweat profusely.

No matter what, his face would be bruised and swollen, and there would be blood at the corners of his mouth, right?

Based on Zhai Yaohui’s look just now, it could only be proven that Zhai Yaohui was engaged in rigorous exercise, not a fight.

Shi Peng didn’t say anything after he arrived. He just said that he wanted to practice with Zhai Yaohui.

Coincidentally, after Grandma Zhai kicked up a fuss, Zhai Yaohui felt troubled in his heart, and exchanging blows with Shi Peng could allow him to vent his frustration.

Who knew that Qi Minlan would come knocking on the door at this time and separately make her presence known in front of Zhai Yaohui and Shi Peng respectively?

After hearing Qi Minlan’s words, how would Zhai Yaohui not understand that Shi Peng was forced over by her?

Qi Minlan was obviously the one who forced Shi Peng over to teach Zhai Yaohui a lesson. In the blink of an eye, Qi Minlan confused right and wrong and pushed all the blame and responsibility to Shi Peng alone.

Zhai Yaohui was very happy that he really only regarded Qi Minlan as a sister.

Otherwise, based on Qi Minlan’s character, there would never be a peaceful day at home.

“Get lost. What kind of look is that?” Shi Peng was feeling uncomfortable in his heart. The truest side of his sister was finally shown to Zhai Yaohui. However, after becoming the betrayed person, Shi Peng didn’t feel good in his heart.

Zhai Yaohui patted Shi Peng’s shoulder. “If you’re feeling uncomfortable, don’t hold it back. You can practice with me. This matter more or less has something to do with me.”

Shi Peng flung Zhai Yaohui’s hand away. “There’s no need to.”

Zhai Yaohui knew that his sister, Qi Minlan, had a lot of thoughts. Could it be that Shi Peng felt this the first time today?

Shi Peng had long realized that ever since Qi Minlan knew why she was surnamed Qi and not Shi, she became weird and her character wasn’t as likable as before.

It was just that he became the party concerned today and deeply experienced this again.

“However, I still have to congratulate you that the marriage with my sister didn’t work out. Otherwise, you would have plenty to worry about at home in the future.”

Even though she was his biological sister, Shi Peng had to admit that Qi Minlan was trouble.

Zhai Yaohui smiled. “I’ll no longer need to have a headache over your sister, but you do.”

Things between him and Qi Minlan didn’t work out and they were now brother and sister. This meant the two of them wouldn’t have anything to do with each other in the future.

However, Qi Minlan was going to be Shi Peng’s sister this lifetime. Could Shi Peng continue to not be involved in her matters?

Shi Peng’s face fell and he lay on the ground, not wanting to move. “Thank you. I still remember this. I don’t need you to remind me.”

After Shi Peng returned to the Shi family, Qi Minlan acted as if nothing had happened in front of Shi Peng. She surrounded him and kept addressing him as her good brother.

The more passionate she was, the colder Shi Peng’s heart was as he listened by the side.

While they were having a meal, Elder Shi suddenly said, “Shi Peng, how’s your competition with Zhai Yaohui? Is the possibility of you getting a promotion higher than Zhai Yaohui?”

Shi Peng paused in his action of eating. Initially, he didn’t plan to share this matter with his father.

He didn’t expect him to actually find out about it through other means.

Whoever won in this competition would mean that he had a high chance of becoming the successor of Chief Zhai, an old revolutionary.

Qi Minlan’s eyes shone. “Brother, will you be the next chief candidate if you win?”

If that was really the case, what was the point of her trying every means to be with Zhai Yaohui?

Although being the chief’s sister didn’t sound as nice as being the chief’s wife, at least she had something to do with the chief!

“…” Upon seeing how concerned his father and sister were, Shi Peng felt uncomfortable in his heart. None of these two relatives considered for his good.

In the face of such selfish concern, Shi Peng felt cold in his heart. “Indeed, there is this matter.”

“Are you confident?”

Old Master Shi’s hand trembled and he became agitated. He no longer touched his favorite dishes.

Wasn’t that the position that Old Master Shi had been persevering for all this while?
