Chapter 384: Chapter 384 Your Sister is Looking for You
Sheng Tang and her brother took a walk in the backyard.
The backyard of the old house wasn’t big. In winter, the plants withered, the branches were bare, and there was no scenery to speak of.
"Sis, did Grandpa just scold Dad?" Sheng Zong was very worried.
Sheng Tang thought it wasn’t the case.
As soon as she entered the door, the old man saw her, and his eyes suddenly tightened. Sheng Tang also remembered that it was the old man who had told Sheng Zong about Cheng Ruojun’s matter.
Recently, when Sheng Tang looked in the mirror, she looked more and more like Cheng Ruojun, and this couldn’t be changed.
The old man had definitely sensed something was wrong.
"I don’t think so," Sheng Tang said, "It might be something else."
Sheng Zong responded with an "oh".
He pulled Sheng Tang’s hand and made her sit on the stone stool in the small pavilion.
"If Grandpa gives us a card later, don’t take it," Sheng Zong said.
Sheng Tang was puzzled.
"Have you forgotten?" Sheng Zong seemed to have expected this, "Every New Year, Grandpa always gives us a card for pocket money, and Mom and Dad don’t allow us to take it."
All the children in the Sheng Family old house had pocket money.
The amount of pocket money increased with their age.
Sheng Zhang was in college, and he got a hundred thousand every month; Sheng Qiao and Sheng Rong, who hadn’t gone to college, got forty thousand each month.
The old man also wanted to give Sheng Tang and Sheng Zong the same amount, but Professor Sheng didn’t allow them to take it.
They were from an ordinary family, and having so much money every month would make them feel out of place and unable to focus on their studies.
Sheng Tang’s parents were always very clear about this: absolutely not to take it.
Looking at Sheng Zhang and the others, they were spoiled beyond recognition, and that money definitely shouldn’t be taken.
"I won’t take it. Taking money for no reason will be hard to repay in the future. Like Mom and Dad, they accepted Grandpa’s support and now it’s hard to cut ties, often coming over to endure the annoyance," Sheng Tang said.
Sheng Zong quickly nodded.
That was exactly what he thought.
The siblings had always led a very ordinary life. Especially Sheng Zong; if he really got forty thousand each month, he wouldn’t even know how to spend it.
He had no specific concept of it, so he didn’t develop any greed.
After a while, the servants called them back.
The family gathered at the dining table, not eating yet, just chatting.
Sheng Zhang and the other cousins also came downstairs.
Before dinner, Sheng Zong went to the restroom.
Sheng Qiao also made an excuse to leave.
She waited at the restroom door and when Sheng Zong came out, she said to him indifferently, "Your sister is looking for you."
Sheng Zong wasn’t used to speaking with her, "Where did my sister go?"
"In the front, the fourth room on the second floor south side, that’s the guest room." Sheng Qiao pointed.
The Sheng Family old house was divided into two parts. The front building was similar to the gatehouse of the past, used exclusively for hosting guests.
Nowadays, guests wouldn’t be entertained separately from the main living room, so the small two-story building in the front was used by the servants, cooks, and drivers, along with having guest rooms on the second floor.
Sheng Zong hadn’t stayed there before, but once during Chinese New Year, Grandpa had them stay for dinner, and they had rested on the second floor at noon.
Sure enough, he ran towards the front.
As soon as he left, Sheng Qiao showed a peculiar smile.
Meanwhile, Sheng Rong and Sheng Tang came down from the second floor of this side.
Sheng Tang also needed to go to the restroom, but it was occupied. Sheng Rong told her there was a public restroom on the second floor, too.
She went, and when she came out, Sheng Rong blocked her way and asked her many irrelevant questions, all of them nonsense.
Sheng Tang grew wary.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her brother heading towards the front building, his figure quickly disappearing behind the door.
"Where’s my brother?" she asked.
Sheng Qiao ignored her, and Sheng Rong also turned back to the dining room.
Sheng Tang felt uneasy, she hurriedly went to chase after her brother.
