Chapter 229 -229: The Two Daughters Bicker with Each Other

“Sister, what’s wrong with you? Can’t even hold a pair of chopsticks steady, and you still call yourself a socialite!”

Xi Wanlin’s face went pale for a moment.

“I just… had a stomachache.” She made up an excuse, “Maybe my period is coming.”

Li Shirui said, “Then you should go back to your room.”

“I’m not in pain anymore,” Xi Wanlin replied.

Xi Wanfen retorted, “One moment you’re in pain, the next moment you’re not. Aren’t you just faking it?”

Xi Wanlin didn’t have time to snap back at her, only asked, “You just said your lifesaver looks a lot like mom, and dad has seen her too. Dad, do you think they look alike?”

Xi Huarong thought for a moment before answering his eldest daughter, “To some extent, yes, but not very much.”

Xi Wanlin breathed a sigh of relief, then taunted Xi Wanfen, “See, dad says they don’t look alike, so you must have seen it wrong. How could there be people in the world who look similar? It’s just a feeling, isn’t it? Aren’t you just treating her like your second set of parents because she saved you?”

“I’m not. She really does look similar. If you don’t believe me, I’ll find you a photo.”

Xi Wanfen started scrolling through Su Meixi’s social media feed, but Su Meixi’s feed was set to show only the past month, and she hadn’t posted anything in the last month.

“No photos.”

Xi Wanlin became even more relaxed, “See, our sister just loves to talk nonsense. There’s no photo, and she still wants to deceive us.”

Xi Wanfen indignantly said, “I’ll just take a photo next time.”

Li Shirui and Xi Huarong exchanged a glance.

The couple telepathically agreed that the two sisters were too noisy.

The younger sister was nine years younger than the elder one. Before the younger sister was born, the elder sister was the sole recipient of affection. After the younger sister arrived, she became hostile towards her at every turn, even once trying to push her into the river when they were children. Fortunately, Li Shirui caught her and gave the elder sister a severe scolding.

But the elder sister changed suddenly at the age of fourteen.

Maybe it was the end of puberty; she suddenly became mature. She started to study hard, took care of her parents, often treated her sister to snacks with her pocket money, but she would often call her sister dumb.

The couple didn’t dig into it, just felt that Xi Wanlin’s change was good. She had transformed from a narrow-minded, selfish person to one with excellent academic performance.

After dinner, Xi Huarong and Li Shirui returned to their room.

Li Shirui brought up Xi Wanfen’s topic again, “I’m free tomorrow, I should go see that heroic doctor too.”

Xi Huarong said, “It might not be appropriate for you to go. The people from Feng City have a custom that if a family member has died, or someone has just returned from a funeral, they can’t visit the sick or have guests for a month.”

Li Shirui patted her head, realizing, “Right, those people do have this custom. Then I won’t go for now. Tomorrow, I’ll have Xiao Fen express my gratitude for me and bring some gifts. Xiao Fen can go, right?”

“Xiao Fen can go, she didn’t attend the funeral. Theoretically, she is a Xi by name; she doesn’t count as being from your grandmother’s side.”

“That’s fine then. How old is that female doctor?”

“She’s about the same age as Linlin; they were born in the same year. I didn’t ask which month exactly, but they’re around the same age.”

“So young and already so courageous?”

“Her husband is a military man named Gu Wei. You might not know him; he is the youngest battalion commander from the military and a rare talent. No doubt she is influenced by Gu Wei to have such audacity.”

After Xi Huarong finished, he took the opportunity to compliment his own wife, “Compared to you when you were young, she has a long way to go. When you were her age, you were already a meritorious special police officer.”

Li Shirui laughed, “Heroes don’t boast about their past. I’m no longer in the underworld; let’s not talk about this anymore.”

Xi Huarong sighed, “It’s a pity, neither daughter has inherited your grace. Linlin seems sensible, but she’s still capricious and selfish. Over the years, they’ve been vying for favor overtly and covertly, and we’ve seen it all. Xiao Fen, on the other hand, is always a little off-beat.”

Li Shirui smiled, “I’m not asking for much. If they can grow up healthy, that’s enough. Besides, the sisters will eventually get married. Once married, they won’t quarrel anymore.”

“I can’t bear to let them marry,” Xi Huarong moved behind Li Shirui and said, “You must be tired these days. Let me massage your shoulders so you can get a good sleep tonight.”

“Okay.” Li Shirui had been seriously injured after giving birth to her eldest daughter. After recovering, she often suffered from rheumatism. The second daughter was an accidental pregnancy, which they couldn’t bear to terminate, so they simply had her. Because the two-child policy had not yet been implemented, the second daughter was registered under her uncle’s household.

…

Morning.

Xi Wanlin was ready to leave for work.

Every day she dressed very elaborately for work, wearing the latest fashions, perfume, lipstick, and various cosmetics – none could be missing. She changed her handbag every day.

Xi Wanfen was also ready for work, and compared to her sister, she was much more casual – T-shirt, jeans, sneakers, and a simple ponytail.

The sisters started bickering again during breakfast, “Doesn’t the hospital have any dress code for nurses? Dressing like this every day, people who don’t know might think you’re headed to a cleaning job.”

Xi Wanfen shot back, “You think you’re some kind of noble just because you dress up like a human? Let me tell you, even if you wore an imperial robe, you wouldn’t look like a prince.”

Xi Wanlin was particularly bothered by her sister speaking to her like that, and immediately became angry, “Still better than you. You are naturally tacky, and now even more so. Both parents are celebrities. How could they give birth to a loser like you?”

“Why are you trying to mimic those people from Taiwan? Trash will always be trash.”

“Who are you calling trash?”

“Whoever answers me, is trash.”

The sisters were still arguing when Li Shirui came out. With a stern face, Li Shirui said, “It’s so early in the morning, can’t you be quiet?”

The sisters stopped their quarrel, but only temporarily.

After breakfast, they left together.

The elder sister drove a BMW X5, which she bought with her own money, while the younger sister drove a MINI, bought with her pocket money.

Xi Wanlin rolled down the car window to taunt her sister as she got into her car, “Work hard. Don’t get fired before your internship is even over.”

Xi Wanfen was so angered she wanted to retort but didn’t know quite what to say, so she replied, “Compared to Sister Su, you really fall short. I like Sister Su, I dislike you.”

Xi Wanlin frowned. Sister Su?
