Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Ah Li Wants to Sneakily Get Even

"I don’t care," Sang Shen replied swiftly as if spending a lot of money on keeping up appearances was unnecessary, and that it would be better to save the money for buying things for Tiantian.

A grown man like him shouldn’t squander money needlessly.

"Fine, later you go out and buy a few new outfits. Tomorrow you have a blind date, and it wouldn’t be decent to show up in a suit and clothes that have been washed to the point of fading."

Mr. Sang Senior didn’t know what to say about the kid. He used to be so extravagant, but now he’s overly frugal. It’s been several years since he last bought a new piece of clothing.

Sang Shen looked down at the clothes he was wearing; they did indeed seem very old.

He: "..."

"Go buy them tomorrow, it’s too late now."

"Okay." Mr. Sang Senior didn’t press him to go right then, as long as he wore something new before meeting the girl.

Si Mansion

Si Jing had just returned the day before when Si Chenli insisted he go to work at the company. Si Jing felt very conflicted, "Brother, I’m still a patient."

"You can sit, your mental state is normal, and the wound isn’t that painful anymore. You can go to work."

Si Chenli said, a word at a time, his gaze briefly flicked down to his younger brother’s lower body.

"Brother, what’s so urgent that you need to push me like this?" Si Jing’s face had a look of despair, clearly seeing his brother had set his mind on making him go to the company.

"I’ve regained my memory, and today I have an appointment with the doctor to get my face restored."

Seeing no one around, Si Chenli didn’t plan to keep it from his brother. He still didn’t want to tell Qiaoqiao, fearing the surgery results might disappoint her.

Qiaoqiao had already been frightened and worried about him too many times. This time he wanted to surprise her with his return.

If the surgery were unfortunate... he believed Qiaoqiao would accept him even if the surgery failed.

"Really? Brother, that’s great news! You should’ve told me sooner. I would go to the company to handle affairs, even if in pain. Have you told Mom and the others? You’ll need someone to look after you when you get it done."

Si Jing was overjoyed; he thought about how familiar his brother seemed the day before and now realized it was because he had regained his memory.

"Let’s not tell them for now. Everything can wait until I get back. Someone will take care of me, you don’t need to worry."

"What do you mean? Brother, are you planning to go by yourself?" Si Jing wasn’t foolish and instantly caught the subtext in his brother’s words.

"Yeah, keep your mouth shut. I’m heading out now." Si Chenli said calmly and then strode towards the doorway, his figure tall and imposing.

Si Jing watched this scene, unsure of what to do. His wound wasn’t healed yet; he definitely couldn’t catch up and could only watch helplessly as his brother left the house.

Just then, as he stood there in a daze, footsteps came from the staircase. Mrs. Si came walking down slowly, "Si Jing, who were you talking to just now?"

"No one, just talking to myself because I’m bored." Si Jing chuckled dryly, still not betraying his brother.

"Be careful with your wound. Don’t get an infection. Try to hold off on bathing for a few days. You understand?"

Mrs. Si didn’t think much of it, as this son had always been carefree, except for the time Ah Li... wasn’t around; he had been a bit more serious.

But compared to when Si Jing used to be stern all day with his mind only on work, she preferred the more lively and cheerful son she had now.

"Yeah, I know, Mom. I’ll go to the company later to take a look," Si Jing mentioned casually.

"Why would you go to the company? Your wound hasn’t even healed," Mrs. Si immediately became anxious.

"Just to look, to help Brother out. I’ll just sit there, hardly moving around, it won’t affect the wound."

"You’re not going anywhere, your brother can handle the company on his own. You stay at home and behave," Mrs. Si couldn’t help but glare at her son. How can work be more important than health?

At such a crucial time, how can you be running around? What if you aggravate your wound?

"Mom, I have something to tell you, but you have to promise me, it’s just between us, don’t tell the others."

Si Jing knew that he surely wouldn’t be able to talk his way out of it with his mother, unless he came clean.

"What is it?"

"My brother has regained his memory, he went to get facial surgery."

"What? How could you not tell me something this big earlier? How long has he been out?" Mrs. Si’s eyes widened in disbelief, not expecting the news to be so sudden.

The key point was Ah Li had gone for surgery without informing anyone.

"My brother didn’t want to worry them, he thought it would be a nice surprise once he returned," Si Jing looked up at the ceiling, his brother had truly become more thoughtful and considerate of others since he got a sister-in-law.

Before Mrs. Si had a chance to speak, Sang Qiao’s voice suddenly came from behind.

"Which hospital did he go to?"

Si Jing’s body tensed: "!" There it was, now everyone would know.

"Spill it quickly. Him not wanting us to go is one thing; us taking the initiative to go and show support is another," Mrs. Si’s expression turned stern without her realizing it.

Faced with the stare down from the two women, Si Jing spoke up weakly: "...I really don’t know, my brother didn’t say."

"I’ll check it out, Qiaoqiao, don’t worry, you take Tiantian to have some breakfast first, we’ll all head over later, Si Jing, you better rest at home. I’ll have your father take care of the company."

Mrs. Si knew her second son was never good at keeping things to himself, so if he said he didn’t know, then he truly didn’t.

"Okay." Sang Qiao nodded, finding the arrangement agreeable. Her mind could not help but go back to yesterday when Ah Li came to pick her up to go home—it’s no wonder... She had felt something was off at the time; as it turned out, he had already regained his memory.

"Mommy, are we going to find Daddy later?"

"Yes, we’ll eat first; Daddy is getting his old face back."

"Will he look a lot like us after the surgery?" Si Tiantian asked curiously, knowing that children usually resemble their parents. She had heard many people say how much she looked like her mother.

"Not like us." Sang Qiao was slightly distracted, a sense of unease in her heart.

She was still traumatized by the incident when Ah Li left last time and was afraid that...

"Oh." Si Tiantian nodded, disappointed. If Daddy didn’t resemble them, she would be different from the other kids.

The two quickly made their way to the dining table, where the servants had already prepared a variety of breakfast foods, including steamed buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks, and rice noodle rolls.

Sang Qiao distractedly took a rice noodle roll, her heart not in it, and kept feeding steamed buns to Tiantian.

Si Tiantian, with a red bean bun in one hand and soy milk in the other, ate with a look of satisfaction on her face; she loved red bean buns the most!

"Mommy, have some soy milk."

"Mm, okay."

They ate for quite some time.

It wasn’t until Mrs. Si hurriedly came in from the hall, saying, "I’ve found it, I’ve found it."

Sang Qiao sprang up from her seat, stuffing two buns into Tiantian’s hands, "Mom, I’ll head there first to check on things. You can go after you finish breakfast."

"I’ll just eat on the way, let’s go, let’s go." Mrs. Si understood her daughter-in-law’s worry.

She felt the same, with no appetite to continue breakfast, she grabbed a bun and a cup of soy milk and led the way out.
