Chapter 273 : The Leaking Little Cotton Jacket

Wang Zicheng was a bit surprised to receive a call from his mother Yinglan at the hospital.

Because today, his mother was actually urging him to come home early for dinner, which made Wang Zicheng feel overwhelmed by the favor. You know, his mother usually disdained him a little.

With the idea that "things that are out of the ordinary must be strange," Wang Zicheng asked for the reason.

Then he heard that his mother Yinglan was preparing to introduce a girl named Su Qi to him. Afterward, she sent a photo of their recent meal.

Through the photo, Wang Zicheng realized that he actually knew this girl.

Wasn't this the girl who had appeared in his little sister's WeChat Moments?

He remembered that he had asked his sister for her contact information at that time, but his sister didn't give it to him. He didn't expect her to come to his house this time.

Seeing the photo of Su Qi eating shyly and obediently sent by Yinglan, Wang Zicheng found her extremely cute.

At this time, one of his medical assistants came over and happened to see Su Qi's photo of her eating. He said, "Dr. Wang, you're also a 'Ji fan,' huh?"

Wang Zicheng was a bit puzzled. What was a "Ji fan"? But he quickly learned a lot about Su Qi through his colleagues.

When he heard his colleague say that Su Qi had even made an H-game, Wang Zicheng's impression of Su Qi greatly improved.

Because, let's be real, which man in this world wouldn't like a girl with a pure and sweet appearance but an extremely spicy inner self?

Just like that, at four o'clock in the afternoon, after finishing his latest surgery, Wang Zicheng changed his clothes and prepared to leave work.

This made the doctors and nurses beside him look at him sideways. After all, Wang Zicheng was known as the "liver god" in this hospital. When had they ever seen him leave early?

Wang Zicheng's father, Wang Youyi, also received a call from Yinglan, saying that when he came back in the evening, he should take a look at the girlfriend she found for his son.

Although he was a bit puzzled, Wang Youyi still agreed!

He knew that his wife had a way of judging people and also wanted to see what that little girl named "Su Qi" looked like to make his wife like her so much.

5:00 p.m.

Qu Xin and Yinglan, the two best friends, were sitting together at home. If it were any other time, they would definitely chat for a while, but now there was only the sound of the TV in the living room.

At this moment, Yinglan deliberately picked up her phone and said to her best friend with a smile, "Oh my, it's already 5 o'clock. It's too late. If you don't go back soon, those two boys of yours will be hungry!"

Qu Xin also noticed that her best friend was sending her away, but she didn't want to let go of this little girl Su Qi. After some thought, she said, "It's okay. At worst, let them come to your house to eat. After all, our two families have such a good relationship!"

Hearing Qu Xin's words, Yinglan wasn't too surprised. After all, she was her best friend, so how could she be dealt with so easily?

However, if she let her best friend stay here, it would definitely affect Su Qi's sensory experience of her son Wang Zicheng in the evening.

Yinglan also knew that An Dong from the An family was different from her son Wang Zicheng. He wasn't a bookish scholar, but had a body full of muscles, which was quite popular among young girls.

If he came over and the little girl fell for An Dong at her house, wouldn't she cry to death? No, that wouldn't do.

Thinking this way, Yinglan thought for a moment and said, "Look at your Mimi. You've been out for so long, she must be starving!"

Mimi was a ragdoll cat raised in Qu Xin's family. Yinglan knew that the little cat was usually very precious. If it got a little cold or ate a little late, it would get sick.

She thought her best friend would back down like this, but unexpectedly, she said, "When An Dong comes back later, let him feed her and it'll be fine."

Hearing her best friend mention her son, Yinglan was a bit reluctant. Today was her son's special day. If An Dong came, wouldn't that increase the difficulty for her son? No, that wouldn't do!

After some thought, Yinglan finally decided to use a drastic measure. After all, this concerned her son's lifelong event.

She said, "It seems there won't be enough food for dinner tonight. With so many people, there definitely won't be enough to eat. How about..."

"Enough. I've already had An Huo bring dishes from Yixiang Long. You've eaten there before, right? It should still be acceptable!"

Hearing her best friend say this, Yinglan felt a bit of a headache.

Just as she was about to speak again, she heard the voices of An Huo and Wang Youyi talking at the door.

"You even brought wine and dishes today. What's the special occasion?"

Yinglan heard her husband Wang Youyi invite the enemy An Huo in and felt a bit of a headache.

Now that the old one had come in, how would they chase away the young one later?

Seeing her husband come, Qu Xin hurriedly went out to greet him. After all, once he was in the door, it wouldn't be good to chase people away later.

Su Qi didn't know that while she was learning attentively with her two wives, her two mothers-in-law were doing some bizarre things.

Wang Yun's lecture became more and more astonishing. She felt that this little girl Su Qi was making progress a bit too quickly. Compared to the novice from Green City Apartments before, she had improved tremendously.

It made her even suspect that Su Qi was a finance student at one point.

And Su Qi also found Wang Yun more and more impressive as she listened to her lecture. After all, her growth was aided by system girl's intelligence enhancement and the Stock Trading Secret Manual 1 and 2 it provided.

But until now, her success rate was only around 52%, while Wang Yun had achieved 72% through her own efforts. It could simply be described as the level of a genius.

As Su Qi's wives, in order to guard against Wang Yun's little actions towards their husband, Wang Zijin and An Ning always acted as auditors, watching the two of them argue back and forth for three hours, looking like they were really studying and lecturing.

This dispelled some of their suspicions about the two having an affair.

At 7 p.m., with Yinglan inviting everyone to eat, Su Qi reluctantly took her eyes off the blackboard.

Then, she was held by the arms by her two wives, one on the left and one on the right, and taken to the living room.

Unlike the meal at noon, there were already six people sitting at the dining table now. Four males had joined.

At this moment, the gazes of the six people were all focused on Su Qi.

Especially An Dong and Wang Zicheng on the left and right. The moment they saw Su Qi, their eyes were filled with amazement.

Wang Zijin and An Ning, who were holding Su Qi's arms, felt a bit of a headache. They didn't expect that the people obstructing their love would be their own brothers.

"Sit down!" At this moment, Wang Youyi, who was sitting at the head of the table, spoke up.

Hearing her father-in-law's words, Su Qi followed her two wives and took a seat.

Fortunately, Wang Zijin and An Ning sat on her left and right, giving Su Qi a bit more sense of security.

At the dining table, Su Qi was burying her head and eating rice because she felt the gazes of many people at the moment and didn't have the courage to raise her head at all.

Fortunately, she had the caring big sister Wang Yun to pick dishes for her. Otherwise, Su Qi could only keep eating the duck in front of her.

Seeing that Su Qi had eaten several mouthfuls of food, Qu Xin kicked An Dong, who was sitting beside her. An Dong immediately straightened his body. This was the signal his mother had just communicated to him!

Then, soon after, Qu Xin was heard saying, "Little Su Qi, is the food delicious?"

Hearing her mother-in-law's words, Su Qi quickly nodded and said, "It's delicious, Aunt Qu."

But the next second, she heard her mother-in-law start introducing her wife's brother.

"This is An Ning's brother, An Dong. Isn't he handsome? Little Qi, do you like him? If you like him, I'll give him to you!"

Hearing Qu Xin's words, Su Qi's entire person crashed. Can people be given away casually like this? And what use would she have for him?

Su Qi's little head shook like a rattle drum, very lively.

Qu Xin had also learned about Su Qi's personality from the meal at noon. She was a bit introverted and a bit shy.

Qu Xin understood this kind of shy girl. After all, she had also come from that era. It was nothing more than having a thin face.

At this time, she definitely needed her, as the mother-in-law, to promote her son properly.

But as soon as she finished speaking, before An Dong had time to show off, she heard her daughter An Ning say, "When my brother was 6 years old, he still wet the bed! When he was 16, he even went into the women's restroom!!!"

After she spoke, everyone was shocked!

An Dong: ???

An Dong turned his head and looked at his biological sister in disbelief.

Is this still my biological sister?

Didn't we just agree on WeChat that as the older brother, I would be her little cotton jacket?

TN: "Little cotton jacket" (小棉袄): This phrase is often used in Chinese to refer to a beloved daughter. It implies warmth, comfort, and close emotional support, much like a cotton jacket that keeps one warm.

How come it's leaking wind now?

TN: "Leaking wind" (漏风): This expression indicates that the "jacket" (or the relationship) is no longer providing the warmth and comfort it once did. It suggests a sense of betrayal or disappointment, as if the trusted person (the daughter, in this case) is no longer fulfilling their supportive role and is letting in the cold (problems, discomfort).
