The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 215 Brother-in-Law
Chapter 215: Chapter 215 Brother-in-Law
The moment Lin Shuang laid eyes on this sister, he immediately confirmed that she must be Tong Yao’s paternal half-sister.
When Tong Yao walked over and stood next to her, even Lin Shuang, the host, had a hard time telling which one was his little maid.
The little maid had become two! Double the joy!
This sister looked very much like Tong Yao, equally stunningly beautiful and equally curvaceous in a pear-shaped figure.
Tong Yao, with a mix of happiness and nervousness, asked, "Tong Ge?"
The sister named Tong Ge nodded, "Just call me Little Dove, sister."
Once the two sisters spoke up, it became easier to distinguish who was who.
Tong Yao’s tone was noticeably gentler, while Tong Ge’s was much colder.
It was the difference between soft spring rain and drifting winter snow.
Lin Shuang also noticed that this sister’s eyes seemed to be flecked with snowflakes, her gaze somewhat detached.
As if she was observing everything in the world with a cool eye.
Whereas his little maid had tender, water-like eyes, with a hint of shyness, especially when looking at him.
Awesome, now there’s no fear of mixing up the two sisters.
One warm, one cold.
Tong Ge turned to Tong Yao and asked, "Sister, is that boy who’s been staring at us your boyfriend?"
Tong Yao started to smile gently as she introduced them.
"He is my... boyfriend, named Lin Shuang, and that beautiful girl is Lin Shuang’s cousin, named Su Wan."
Lin Shuang and Su Wan both smiled and waved to Tong Ge.
Tong Ge nodded and mumbled to herself in a voice everyone could hear, "Oh, so she’s the sister? I thought she might be brother-in-law’s girlfriend too."
Her comment left everyone momentarily stunned.
Tong Ge tilted her head, "Ah, wasn’t that joke funny? It seems I’m really not cut out for joking."
As an older sister, Tong Yao had the urge to knock on this sister’s forehead.
But because they had hardly met before... she felt somewhat unable to do so.
Lin Shuang said with a laugh, "Many people say that, after all, my sister is very pretty, barely a match for me~"
Su Wan punched him lightly, "I’m dissing you!"
With that, the awkwardness was dissolved.
"Brother-in-law has such a good relationship with his siblings."
Lin Shuang, addressed as brother-in-law, found it quite satisfying...
Tong Ge hooked arms with Tong Yao, "Sister, were you just thinking of hitting me?"
Tong Yao pursed her lips, "Indeed I was, a little."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Tong Ge pulled her hand and knocked it against her own head.
"Getting hit upon meeting, sister is really strict."
Tong Yao found it hard to keep up with this sister’s train of thought~
The owner of the noodle restaurant also came out, "Yo, Tong Yao is back!"
Tong Yao recognized her as the neighbor from her grandmother’s house, it seems Tong Ge had been working part-time at the neighbor’s shop after finishing her exams.
"Auntie Wang actually opened a shop~ Your hand-pulled noodles are indeed delicious!"
"Auntie will prepare a bowl for you, let’s see if the taste has changed over the years."
Auntie Wang also started pulling at her hand, ready to start asking questions.
It looks like she had held Tong Yao as a child, too.
"I need to go see grandma first, Auntie Wang."
"That’s true, come to Auntie’s house to play tonight, Tong Ge you get off work first too."
"Okay."
Tong Ge took off her apron, "Let’s go back then, sister, brother-in-law, and brother-in-law’s sister."
A somewhat perplexed Tong Yao was pulled away by Tong Ge.
Lin Shuang and Su Wanluo followed behind them, continuing towards Tong Yao’s grandmother’s house.
Su Wan leaned in close to Lin Shuang and whispered, "This little aunt of yours... doesn’t seem like she’s easy to deal with!"
Lin Shuang pinched his chin, "I have a feeling that our little aunt has seen right through us!"
Su Wan gave him a kick, "That’s all on you! Staring at the little aunt the moment you saw her! Want a sister combo meal or what?"
"You definitely took a look just now too! It’s hard not to stare when they look so similar!"
"Indeed, very similar! Sheesh, to think there are two such beautiful girls!"
Lin Shuang took a strategic step back, "How come I feel like you’re drooling over them, Wanwan!"
"Who wouldn’t like such beautiful girls!"
Everyone has a love for beauty, right~
Lin Shuang shook his head, "I’m actually feeling a bit jealous?"
Jealous of my own little aunt? That seems a bit messy!
Su Wan put her arm around his shoulder, "Come on, your mom here will always dote on you the most!"
Behind them, the two childhood friends were laughing and joking around, while in front, sisters Tong Yao and Tong Ge, holding hands, didn’t quite know what to say to each other.
For Tong Yao, this type of sisterly reunion had already exceeded her expectations.
On the way here, she had been somewhat worried that her sister would ignore her or even dislike her.
But the moment they met, her sister had taken the initiative to call her "sister."
Tong Yao was quite happy.
She tried to find a topic, "Have you thought about where you want to go for college, Tong Ge? Your grades are better than mine, you could go to a better university."
"Sister, just call me Little Dove."
"Little Dove?"
"Mhm, grandma calls me that too." freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Tong Ge, holding onto Tong Yao’s arm, continued, "I hadn’t thought about these issues before... so I wanted to discuss them with you, sister."
Tong Yao said with a smile, "But your grades are better than mine."
"But you are still my sister after all, you should know more than a little sister—like you already have a boyfriend."
Tong Yao felt the topic had shifted a bit too quickly.
"When Little Dove goes to college... you can get a boyfriend too."
This time, Tong Ge was silent for a while before speaking up, "I don’t want a boyfriend."
Tong Yao didn’t continue on this topic.
She felt that she perhaps understood her sister, Tong Ge, a little bit.
Their mutual father... really couldn’t be considered a good man.
When they were young, when their father abandoned her and her mother.
Little Tong Yao also had a period of time when she disliked men.
But then she later met Lin Shuang...
Coming out of the food street, crossing a wooden bridge, and not far ahead, a small courtyard came into everyone’s view.
Though she hadn’t returned for a long time, Tong Yao still felt a deep familiarity.
This was grandma’s house.
She also spent a carefree part of her childhood here.
Even from a distance, Tong Yao could see the fig tree and Sichuan pepper tree in the courtyard.
So many years had passed, and these two trees had also grown a little taller.
When she was a child, her favorite activity was to squat by the door on rainy days, listen to the rain, inhale the mixed aroma of earth and Sichuan pepper, and pick a few figs that had fallen to eat.
Recalling her childhood, Tong Yao turned back with a gentle smile and waved to Lin Shuang and Su Wan.
"We’re almost there~"
Thinking of sharing all those beautiful memories from her past with Lin Shuang.
It was the season when figs were available, but they weren’t completely ripe yet.
Walking into the courtyard, beneath the fig tree, there was an elderly woman with graying hair, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan.
That was Tong Ge and Tong Yao’s grandmother.
