âYes, call her Sister-in-law.â Mu Ci didnât intend to argue with them. He put his arm around Bei Shuoâs shoulder and instructed.
Bei Shuo thought that Mu Ci was talking to her. She didnât understand. Who were they calling Sister-in-law? She turned to look at him.
âSister-in-law!â The four of them bowed in unison and roared at her in unison.
Bei Shuo was shocked and instinctively leaned towards Mu Ci.
Mu Ci smiled, frowned, and scolded them. âWhy are you so loud?â
The four of them were embarrassed and hurriedly bowed again. This time, it was a little uneven. âSister-in-law, Iâm sorry.â
Only then did Bei Shuo understand that these people were calling her. She looked at them in bewilderment and then at Mu Ci.
Both parties were shocked. Mu Ci smiled and said to Bei Shuo, â1 invited them for a meal today. Come, let me introduce you. Yi Chen is 25 years old and their leader. Dong Ran is 23 years old, Little Xi is 23 years old, and Xuan is 22 years old. The four of them are my best brothersââ
He glanced at Little Xi, who had a manâs haircut, and paused. âAlright, thereâs also a sister.â
âBig Brotherââ Little Xi felt a little aggrieved. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhy donât you just say brother? I donât mind if you omit the word âsisterâ.â Little Xi felt that it was better for Big Brother not to call her âsisterâ.
Mu Ci ignored her. âYou guys already know about Bei Shuo and me. I donât have to teach you what to do in the future, right?â
âDonât worry, Big Brother. We will definitely protect Big Sister-in-law wholeheartedly!â The four of them were determined. They looked at Bei Shuo warmly. Just because she could make Big Brother stand up and walk over, it was worth it for them to give her their lives!
Only then did Bei Shuo have the chance to say timidly, âHello.â
Mu Ci patted her shoulder. âRemember their faces. Donât greet them at any occasion outside.â
âOh.â Bei Shuo nodded.
She stared at him, wide-eyed.
Mu Ci smiled and reached out to rub her head. âBecause the outside world doesnât know about my relationship with them. We have a division of work, so itâs not appropriate for others to know.â
Bei Shuo didnât quite understand, but she understood the main point. She quickly glanced at the four of them.
The four of them smiled at her.
So she was an adorable girl!
It was only when everyone sat around to eat and the four of them reported to Big Brother excitedly that Bei Shuo found an interval to talk and carefully tugged at Mu Ciâs sleeve.
Mu Ci leaned towards her and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Bei Shuo asked softly, âSecond Senior Brother said that the boss of Zhili is also called Yi Chen.â
Mu Ci glanced at Yi Chen. The four of them smiled at Bei Shuo.
Mu Ci smiled and said, âYi Chen is the boss of Zhili that Luo Bing mentioned. Dong Ran is Zhiliâs assistant now. Little Xi and Xuan donât work with them.â
Bei Shuoâs eyes widened. He looked at Yi Chen and then at Mu Ci. âHeâs Zhiliâs boss. But he calls you Big Brother?â
Mu Ci nodded with a smile.
Bei Shuo looked at Yi Chen in shock. Yi Chen raised his glass at her and said with a smile, âSister-in-law, the four of us are orphans. Big Brother saved us from the human traffickers back then and nurtured us to study. Thatâs why weâre like family members today.â
Bei Shuo was shocked again. This was the first time she had heard someone say that he was Mu Ciâs family.
Mu Ci knew what Bei Shuo was thinking. He reached out and rubbed her head. âThe four of them are outstanding enough. I was just watching and helping.â
Bei Shuo nodded gently. She raised her glass and said solemnly to the four of them, âThank you for treating him as a family member.â
The four of them didnât expect Sister-in-law to say this. They raised their glasses and clinked them with Bei Shuo and Mu Ci. The four of them downed their glasses in one gulp. Bei Shuo didnât hesitate either.
Mu Ci was shocked. âHey, this is wineââ
It was too late. Bei Shuo finished it in one gulp.
Mu Ci frowned and reached for the drink at the side. He glared at Little Xi. Little Xi had poured the wine just now.
Bei Shuo swirled her cup and said nonchalantly, âItâs alright, Big Brother. Second Senior Brother said that girls have to have a certain alcohol tolerance to protect themselves. 1 used to drink wine brewed by him. Its concentration is even higher than this.â
Mu Ci was surprised.
The four of them were relieved. Little Xi patted her chest and said, âYou scared me to death. Sister-in-law, if youâre drunk, Big Brother will probably send me to Siberia.â
Bei Shuo smiled and said, âItâs fine. Heâs very easy to talk to. Just make a request.â
Four people, four shocked faces.
Mu Ci smiled helplessly. As Big Brother, he would probably be defeated by Bei Shuo in the future..
