Back To The Past 2 : The Rise Of The False Heiress Marrying The True Tycoon

Chapter 307: Smart Move

Becoming aware of this, Su Li felt as if every cell in his body had awakened. He didn't care whether his next actions were moral or not, he just had to act.

After dinner, he eagerly helped his mother clear the table. He even followed her into the kitchen, insisting on washing the dishes for her.

Once the dishes were done, he took the broom from Su Bing's hands and offered earnestly, "Brother, take a break. Let me do this!"

When Su Bing and their mother wanted to take out the garbage, Su Li stepped in, taking the trash and telling his brother, "You rest, I'll do it!"

When Gu Zi was about to take a bath and had just handed Su Le over to Su Bing, Su Li appeared again. He took Su Le into his arms and said, "Mother, Brother has an exam tomorrow and needs to sleep early. I'll take care of my sister!"

Su Bing, having been usurped thrice, couldn't help but smirk. This second child was indeed a master at vying for attention!

Moreover, Su Li seemed to have become smart under their mother's influence. He noticed that their mother was deliberately ignoring their father, so he took the opportunity to show off in front of her, using his father as a foil to highlight his own understanding. This was indeed a clever move, something the old Su Li would never have thought of.

Su Bing cast a casual glance at the man sitting across the couch. His gaze was still cold, watching Su Li, but it was hard to discern any emotions.

He felt a strange pity for his father, but considering that their mother was not an unreasonable woman, he was sure that their father must have done something wrong. With this thought, his father didn't seem so pitiable anymore.

Su Le, who was inexplicably popular, blinked her eyes a few times, staring at her second brother in confusion.

She had only seen her second brother snatch snacks before, but this was the first time she saw him eagerly taking care of her. It was very strange.

Gu Zi also didn't understand why Su Li was so active today, even volunteering to do chores that Su Bing usually did.

Besides helping her with chores, Su Bing also washed their clothes and shoes most of the time.

Although the second child was sensible, he was still spoiled by his elder brother and usually preferred to play. His behavior today was indeed unusual.

However, Gu Zi still found Su Li adorable. After all, he was the child she raised, and she loved him no matter what.

She reached out and pinched his cheek, saying, "You've worked hard, Su Li!" before turning to go upstairs.

Her gentle voice left Su Li standing there holding Lele, savoring the moment for a long time.

When Gu Zi came down after her bath to take Su Le, Su Li quickly ran upstairs.

After Gu Zi had taken Su Le upstairs, Su Li came to the master bedroom door holding ten foxes woven from foxtail grass.

Gu Zi beckoned him in.

Su Li ran to Gu Zi and placed all the little foxes on the desk in front of her, saying, "Mother, these are the foxes I've made for you. There are more than what father gave you, and I won't make you angry like he does. I'm very good, right?"

While saying this, Su Li deliberately glanced at the door. His father was still training Big Yellow in the yard, and he couldn't let him hear his secret conversation with his mother.

Gu Zi noticed his little action and laughed, "Yes, Su Li is the best. I like it very much, thank you."

Su Li grinned, his teeth shining. After a moment of calm, he asked Gu Zi,

"Mother, are you reading a foreign language book? Can I learn it?"

Although it wasn't the time for their mother to teach them according to her schedule, Su Li was curious, so he asked.

Gu Zi thought it was good for children to love learning. She had just been reading, so she said, "Yes, I can teach you the letters ABC."

Su Li eagerly brought a stool and sat down to start learning. Su Le, in his arms, watched them in confusion and also began to say, "Eh, eh, eh!"

When Su Shen came upstairs and entered the room, Su Li had just finished humming the ABC song and was leaving. He called out to his father and then hopped away.

Su Shen was slightly taken aback. If he wasn't mistaken, the corners of Su Li's mouth were turned up in a triumphant smile.

When Su Shen walked to the desk, he saw Gu Zi looking at the fifteen little foxes on the table and laughing. She was a radiant beauty, and her laughter was enchanting.

She heard his movements and turned her head to look at him. When she was sitting and he was standing, his figure seemed even more imposing, giving her a sense of security.

Gu Zi had been deliberately ignoring Su Shen just now, just to act a little spoiled.

It was cute for a woman to act spoiled occasionally, but it was important to Know when to stop. Gu Zi felt it was time to stop now..
