Chapter 1241: Chapter 1241: Bookworm

“As for me, I only hate that I haven’t done well enough,”

“You’ve even moved your office to our studio. What more do you want?” Su Wen complained quietly. “Don’t you know that since you came to our studio, everyone has been afraid to speak loudly? The atmosphere has become much tenser,”

Zhou Hengyang was indeed a mountain looming over all the employees’ hearts, high and unapproachable.

Zhou Hengyang smiled without saying a word.

He obviously knew but simply couldn’t be bothered to change.

“Hengyang, I think we shouldn’t keep the Song family’s matter from Su Qing and the others. Except for Little Sister and Sixth Sister, who are too young and might be scared, the other sisters have the right to know,”

Su Wen had thought it over; after all, she was a transplant from another time, not the real original person.

Compared to her, Su Qing and the others should know.

“Okay! I’ll go get them, you eat some fruit first,”

Zhou Hengyang arranged for someone to take Sixth Sister and Little Sister to Zhou Yan’s place, then notified Su Qing to call Su Xiu and Su Xue. Of the sisters who had a right to know, four were now present.

Fifth Sister was still at school; given her personality, she could be momentarily ignored.

That girl was just a bookworm.

“Big Sister, what is it?” Su Qing was the busiest, she’d have left early if not for her brother-in-law calling her.

“Are we having a family meeting?” Su Xiu was quite excited; it had been a long time since they had a family meeting, and she missed the days when the half-sisters would sit together, chat, and dream about the future.

Su Xue clenched her fists secretly, her gaze fixated on Big Sister and her brother-in-law.

This return home, she had distinctly felt that Big Sister and brother-in-law were hiding something from them. It made her somewhat uncomfortable, yet she was helpless.

She was still underage, in the eyes of Big Sister and brother-in-law, just a child.

Therefore, she had no right to know.

Su Xue no longer wanted to be a child who knew nothing and could do nothing. This past year, although their family’s status had improved, no one knew the internal pressures that were increasingly burdening her.

The feeling was far from pleasant.

Su Wen looked at each sister in turn, finally giving Su Qing an encouraging smile.

Su Qing returned a gentle smile, the tacit understanding between the sisters was perfectly demonstrated in this moment.

“Sister, whatever it is, just tell us! We can handle it,”

“I should have told you all sooner, but I dragged it out because I was also unclear until someone else investigated it,” Su Wen glanced provocatively at Zhou Hengyang, seizing the opportunity to set a trap for him.

“Your brother-in-law might have known earlier.”

The three sisters’ gaze immediately turned towards Zhou Hengyang, piercing like X-rays.

“Brother-in-law.”

“What exactly is it, Brother-in-law,”

Zhou Hengyang shook his head helplessly, nodding gently towards the three sisters, “Don’t worry, listen to me.”

When the truth was revealed, the matter wasn’t complicated, it was just incredibly unbelievable. Zhou Hengyang took about half an hour to explain everything. By the time he finished, the entire living room had succumbed to unspeakable sorrow.

In the end, Su Xiu could no longer bear it and started crying repressively. From the beginning’s quiet sobs, laden with pain and sadness, to loud wailing, she collapsed weakly onto Su Qing’s shoulder.

The living room was filled with her cries of pain.

Listening to her, Su Wen’s eyes also reddened, her heart aching as if it were shattering, and she too began to silently shed tears.

Seeing her cry, Zhou Hengyang also panicked, becoming completely flustered as he tried to soothe her, but nothing seemed to work.
