Married to the Male Lead’s Hidden Rich Brother

Chapter 4

Zhou Qiaoqiao was a beautiful child, and she believed that there was probably no other girl in the world who was more beautiful than her. But as she grew older, her mother told her that she had become ugly. And when her stepmother gave birth to her sister Zhou Xingxing, Zhou Qiaoqiao felt even worse about her looks.

After graduating from university, Zhou Qiaoqiao’s sallow skin finally became white and tender, her dry hair became smooth, and even her 1.58 meters height seemed to grow by three centimeters.

Her best friend, Liang Jiamin, said that this was her “second puberty,” and even grabbed her chest and said, “Congratulations, your little steamed buns have officially turned into meat buns.”

Zhou Qiaoqiao proudly lifted her chest. So what if she had meat buns? Maybe she would even have a third puberty! Then, she would have big meat buns.

Unfortunately, at 24 years old, she was still the same as she was now.

She was considered good-looking, with big and lively eyes. Her small face was delicate and cute, with a charming nose and thin upper lips and thick lower lips. Her cheeks were naturally rosy. She was 1.61 meters tall, not too tall or too short, and her chest was only a B-cup, not too big or too small.

Everything was just like her, not good but not too bad. At least she was still alive.

That year, Zhou Qiaoqiao watched her mother fall down the stairs, and her brain became even more dull afterwards. Her father despised her for being stupid, and her stepmother saw her as a burden. But she… was still alive.

Jia Min now works at a bank, and last time she had calculated with her that the bank’s interest rates had been decreasing over the years. However, the interest rates for fixed-term deposits are high and the longer it is deposited, the higher it will be.

Zhou Qiaoqiao plans to set a three-year deposit, how much was it that Jia Min said last time? It seemed to be 3.85%, right? She could earn more than 10,000 yuan in interest that year!

Wow! So much money! Why is life so wonderful?

La la la la la…

Zhou Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but laugh happily again while holding her blanket.

Then she saw the big brother next door sneaking a glance at her, and then turned his head with an indescribable look.

When Brother Sunglasses came back with a lunchbox, he found the room in silence. He asked the big brother next door, “What’s going on?”

The big brother next door glanced at Zhou Qiaoqiao and said to Brother Sunglasses, “Did you push her to be like this?”

The big brother next door pointed to his head, looking at Brother Sunglasses with a kindly reminder.

He thought she had a head injury? Brother Sunglasses pushed his sunglasses and said, “No, she’s really stupid, not that she hit her head.”

Big brother next door: “…”

Zhou Qiaoqiao: “…” I @#¥…

Brother Sunglasses put down the lunchbox and asked Zhou Qiaoqiao, “I bought the bento for you. My boss was relieved when you woke up. I found a caregiver for you just now, and she will come over this afternoon. Don’t forget to have her sign a receipt, otherwise, you won’t be able to get reimbursed later.”

Brother Sunglasses’ kind reminder made Zhou Qiaoqiao feel warm inside, and she smiled reservedly and said, “I see.”

As a result, Brother Sunglasses said, “Are you sure you don’t want to help your younger brother pay back the money?”

Zhou Qiaoqiao’s reserved smile disappeared instantly, and she looked coldly at him and said, “No.”

“Tsk!” Brother Sunglasses let out a disappointed sound and could only give up.

In the afternoon, the older sister who worked there finally came. Her surname was Xu, and everyone called her Sister Xu. Sister Xu was fifty years old, but she looked very energetic, and her movements were very agile.

As soon as she arrived, she tidied up the messy desktop that Brother Sunglasses had caused, and neatly arranged the hospital bills into a bag. She also filled up the kettle by the bedside with hot water, and went to confirm which doctor was responsible, in case they need to find him.

Then, she helped check Zhou Qiaoqiao’s closet and found that many things were missing, so she suggested to buy them.

Zhou Qiaoqiao hadn’t received her money yet, and Brother Sunglasses muttered as he paid for her. Zhou Qiaoqiao comforted him, “Me and Zhou Xiongxiong are two different things. You hurt me today, and I still have to settle accounts with you guys! Just let your boss deduct it, and he still owes me the rest!”

Brother Sunglasses curled his mouth and said, “You still want compensation? Your brother owes the nightclub 300,000! If he really owes you money, then you can take it from there.”

Zhou Qiaoqiao glared, “Why should my compensation money pay for his debts? I don’t want to, I don’t recognize it.”

While Brother Sunglasses settled the payment with the caregiver, he said to Zhou Qiaoqiao, “Just wait, I’ll go back and ask the boss and see how he plans to handle this.”

After saying that, Brother Sunglasses didn’t want to stay there anymore and left.

Soon, there were only Zhou Qiaoqiao and the nurse left in the ward, staring at each other.

Yan Wei had been in the hospital for three days. Feng Xiyuan covered the lid of the insulated lunch box and looked at Yan Wei with concern, saying, “You have to eat, otherwise, you’ll starve to death someday.”

Yan Wei, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, lay on the bed and looked at the needle on his left hand, saying, “It’s okay. When I’m really hungry, I can eat anything.”

Feng Xiyuan glared at him and said, “If you could eat anything, then why did Lao Zhen bring you to the hospital?”

Yan Wei closed his eyes and said faintly, “To replenish my glucose.”

Feng Xiyuan shook her head helplessly and looked at the insulated lunch box, “Or how about some millet porridge?”

Yan Wei shook his head, “No, you can go back first.”

Feng Xiyuan looked at him and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Okay, I’ll leave the millet porridge on the table. If you want to eat it, just heat it up. Don’t worry too much about the company, Lao Zhen and I will take care of it for the next few days.”

Just as she was speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open and a female doctor with wavy hair came in holding a medical record book.

She glanced at Feng Xiyuan, then looked gently at Yan Wei and asked, “Mr. Yan, how are you feeling?”

Yan Wei raised his eyelids faintly and said, “It’s nothing serious. Where is Lao Zhao?”

Zhao Ling smiled lightly and said, “My dad is doing surgery. He has already told me about your situation. You can rest assured, Mr. Yan. I majored in psychology at Columbia. In this area, I…”

The rest of her introduction was swallowed up by Yan Wei’s indifferent gaze, which was bland but with a warning that made people shudder.

Yan Wei looked at her coldly for two seconds before saying, “I’m not sick.”

Only then did Zhao Ling breathe a sigh of relief. She forced a smile and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that.”

“I can eat,” Yan Wei reiterated, “I just don’t like to.”

Then… isn’t it anorexia? Zhao Ling blinked at him.

    I thought the big brother who stayed next to Qiaoqiao’s bad was the ML for her story. 😮‍💨

    Our ML makes his first appearance. He sounds… Fun. Their interactions could be super amusing. Thanks for another great chapter.
