Huayu: Starting by piggybacking on the fame of "Fairy Mom"

Chapter 21 The Truth

The information conveyed over the phone made Zhou Wenqiong grip the receiver tightly.

"So do you know what Xixi will call me from now on?" Zhou Xiaobai's tone was filled with undisguised smugness.

"What did she call you? Didn't she call you 'little brother'?" Fan Bingbing was puzzled, thinking that this little brother was stupid.

"Uncle! She has to call me uncle!" Zhou Xiaobai lowered his voice, but his excitement could be felt even through the phone. "If she dares to disobey me again, I'll use my seniority to teach her a lesson, hahaha..."

Fan Bingbing laughed out loud on the other end of the phone, but her voice betrayed doubt: "Would Qianqian agree?"

She knew that finding a younger brother was An Qianqian's obsession. In order to become Zhou Xiaobai's older sister, she was shameless and even resorted to violence.

Anxi even bragged about this to herself.

"Shh! Let's keep it down. Xixi doesn't know yet, and I'm keeping it a secret, aren't I?" Zhou Xiaobai lowered his voice and glanced at the bedroom door as he spoke.

"Hehe! Okay, okay," Fan Bingbing laughed heartily, but with a hint of worry, "But aren't you afraid Qianqian will beat you up?"

"Don't worry, I have her aunt's backing me up. Her aunt said she'll help me deal with her." Zhou Xiaobai started bragging about what he'd said last night, "And my mom also said that my mom is Xixi's great-aunt, and she said she'll beat Xixi if she doesn't call her 'uncle'."

Zhou Wenqiong, who was eavesdropping outside the door, instantly understood why this little brat had been pretending not to know. It turned out that he had been beaten by An Qianqian and was now holding back a big move to get revenge!

"Didn't Xixi say she often goes to her aunt's house and won't find out? Won't she make a scene if she finds out?" Fan Bingbing asked curiously, as she knew a little about Xixi's family relationships.

"Not yet, we'll officially meet at the family reunion banquet the day after tomorrow. I'll surprise her then, and once it's a done deal, I'm not afraid she'll make a fuss." Zhou Xiaobai began to demonstrate her cleverness. "I was just worried that my sister would run into Qianqian when she took me to school, so I didn't let her take me today. I even went to great lengths to come up with a reason."

"puff!"

Zhou Wenqiong nearly vomited blood upon hearing this. No wonder the little bastard turned green with anger this morning when she kindly took him to school, making up a whole bunch of excuses to avoid it. So that's why.

"Surprise? I think it's more of a shock." Fan Bingbing knew An Qianqian too well. The little tyrant cared most about her sister's identity. With a cousin suddenly appearing, it would be strange if she didn't cause a ruckus.

"With adults backing her up and all the relatives present, she'll definitely call me 'Uncle' obediently." Zhou Xiaobai analyzed logically, thinking that An Qianqian was still a little girl and wouldn't dare to cause trouble.

The two chatted on the phone for almost half an hour before agreeing on a time for their next call.

Before hanging up, Zhou Xiaobai reminded her, "I'm going to call Sister Yaya right away!"

As soon as she hung up the phone, Zhou Wenqiong outside the door quickly put down the extension. She gritted her teeth, thinking, "They've even tried to scheme against me, their auntie!"

Ha ha!

Okay, I'll shoot you dead in a minute!

She couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Hearing Zhou Wenqiong's exaggerated laughter from outside, Zhou Xiaobai, who was in the bedroom, wondered if this older sister had gone crazy from watching TV.

He then made the next call.

"Beep...beep..." The phone was quickly answered.

However, the voice coming from the receiver left him dumbfounded—he couldn't understand it at all!

"سەنكىم?" the other person asked.

Zhou Xiaobai didn't dare to say a word.

The other person asked again, "سەنكىم?"

"Sorry, wrong number." Zhou Xiaobai apologized cautiously, wondering if he had dialed an overseas number.

"Xiaobai?" A tentative girl's voice came through in Mandarin, sounding somewhat familiar.

"Sister Ya Ya! It's me!" Zhou Xiaobai immediately recognized Tong Liya's voice.

"Ah! Xiaobai! It really is you! Whose phone did you use to call?" Tong Liya's voice was full of surprise and joy, and you could feel her excitement even through the receiver.

Zhou Wenqiong, standing outside the door, naturally knew who Tong Liya was.

She pursed her lips. "Fine! Another one trying to steal my house. There are so many rats these days!"

The content was similar, still boasting about becoming Anxixi's cousin, with a smug tone like a little fox who had stolen a chicken.

But the next piece of news left Zhou Wenqiong completely dumbfounded—

"If Teacher Liu knew you were her cousin at the family reunion banquet, wouldn't she beat you up?" Tong Liya pressed again. "You insulted her; she said she'd beat you every time she saw you. Does Qianqian know you know her mother?"

During the exchange meeting, although the three sisters were domineering, they were terrified of Liu Xiaoli, like mice seeing a cat.

Zhou Xiaobai had told her about the accident on the phone a while ago, as if it were a joke.

She didn't know who she had bumped into at the time, and she found it funny.

But now the situation is different; that's Anxi's mother. This is like Mars colliding with Earth.

"Uh! I don't know, I've been keeping it a secret—" Zhou Xiaobai lowered his voice again, his explanation full of smugness: "That's why I want to be Qianqian's uncle. If I become Liu Xiaoli's nephew, wouldn't I be bullied by her every day?"

Before Tong Liya could reply, he shamelessly repeated his words from the previous night: "Last night my sister said she would help me, and that I didn't need to be afraid of Liu Xiaoli..."

"Hehe! You're so great, little brother!" Tong Liya sincerely praised him. She found it really funny and wanted to know An Qianqian's reaction afterwards.

Zhou Xiaobai spoke with great enthusiasm, making Zhou Wenqiong, who was eavesdropping, both angry and amused—no wonder when she adopted him, he reacted so strongly when she asked him whether to call her "sister" or "mom," even saying that "sister" made him look younger; it was all a scheme!

It seems he already knew Liu Xiaoli was his cousin, and the key point is that he kept it a secret from Qianqian about his acquaintance with Liu Xiaoli. He really kept it well hidden.

He not only wanted to be An Qianqian's uncle, but also Liu Xiaoli's cousin.

Is this all just to get a pass without having to play?

Tsk tsk tsk!

Wow, my brother is amazing!

However, when did my cousin and he meet? There must be a story behind it.

She slowly put down the extension phone, her expression complex.

She learned four things:

First, Zhou Xiaobai had known An Qianqian for a long time and they had a good relationship, but he always pretended not to know her.

Secondly, Zhou Xiaobai has been in contact with Fan Bingbing and Tong Liya for quite some time, judging from their tone.

Third, Zhou Xiaobai didn't want to be An Qianqian's younger brother and wanted to surprise her at the family reunion banquet.

Fourth, something serious must have happened between this kid and his cousin. This is a series of schemes; he's up to no good and wants me to take the blame for her.

Zhou Wenqiong decided not to expose him for the time being, since she had nothing better to do anyway.

As an actor, acting is his nature. Since he wants to act, then let's act with him.

Anyway, the family reunion banquet is the day after tomorrow, let's see how he gets punished.

However, how could this grand show be complete without my cousin? We need to discuss with her how to give this little rascal an even bigger surprise.

In both the Zhou and Liu families, women are the heads of the household. Are you trying to turn the tables and become the master of the house?

Ha ha!

Thinking of this, Zhou Wenqiong's smile was full of the joy of performing with monkeys!
