Master of Pretenders

"Aunt Gui, tell the young master to show me his homework before two o'clock. We leave at a quarter past two, and I'll take her to learn the piano. Before leaving, he has to tidy up his own bedroom and study clean"

"Yes, miss. Let me clean the room of the young master."

The tone of "Let him do it himself" cannot be questioned, and Aunt Gui stepped back firmly.

Ming Jing has been supporting the Ming family alone for two years, and the huge family business is too heavy for this immature shoulder.She is a woman, but she has the determination of a strong man to cut her wrists. She has shut down many industries that she had no time to take care of, leaving only ancestral property, food, mining and other key businesses related to people's livelihood.The old mother, the driver and gardener at home, also quit all of them. She has no time to deal with these people.Only Aunt Gui and her nanny, Mother Yao, were left by her side.It is enough for these two to take care of the diet and daily life of the siblings.For daily life, Ding Spiegel also has another thought.She didn't want to see her younger brother turn into a dandy who didn't work hard and didn't distinguish between food and grain under her wings. She hoped that he could learn to take care of himself, and maybe let him go to study far away one day. He had to have the ability to live.

Just at 01:30, Minglou knocked on the door of her sister's room.

"Come in"

"Eldest sister, I have finished my homework, please take a look at it." After Ming Lou handed his homework to his sister, he stood aside.Ming Jing flipped through his younger brother's homework, the handwriting was neat and clean, and they were all excellent grades.Then she looked up at the tall and handsome young man beside her, and she felt that all the hardships were worth it.

Ming Jing collected his younger brother's homework and asked him to clean the room before going out.

“Room already made”

"Let's play the piano for a while, and review the tunes we learned last time."

Minglou didn't speak or move.

"What's the matter?"

"Eldest sister, I—" Ming Lou faltered suddenly.

"I, I, I want to"

"Speak well, if you have anything to say"

"Yes, Eldest Sister. I would like to ask Eldest Sister not to learn the piano anymore." Ming Lou straightened his body and replied loudly to his elder sister.But he didn't have the courage to look into his sister's eyes.

"why"

"I do not like"

"Master Ming, where have you read all your poems, books and etiquette? You are a middle school student, do you still need me to tell you the story of perseverance?" Ming Jing became angry, and patted the table to question Ming Lou. "Stop studying if you don't like it? What do you like? What do you want to do? If one day you tell me that you don't like reading, you will go home and lie at home as your young master?"

"Minglou dare not"

"Just don't dare, go downstairs, practice the piece you learned last time five times, and then go to class!"

"Sister, I want to learn martial arts"

"No." Ming Jing couldn't allow him to say another word, and directly refused.

"Miss!"

Ming Jing stopped talking and stared fiercely at Ming Lou.Minglou was taken aback by his sister's eyes, and wanted to lower his head.But he seemed to remember something again, and looked up into his sister's eyes.He took a breath, summoned up the courage to go forward and took Ming Jing's hand, asking his sister to sit down.Then he knelt down in front of his sister.

Ming Jing was stunned, but then thought it was a little funny, "Minglou, what kind of ecstasy drug did you take, and you have to learn that? If you don't learn it, you will fight and be naughty in the future."

"Sister, yesterday I heard Brother Mingtang called you. I heard what he said."

"say what?"

"Brother Mingtang said that there are people who are evil-minded and want to harm you, and want to take away our Ming family's property."

"Don't worry about kids, it's adults' business"

"I'm not a child anymore, I'm the son of Ming's eldest son. I have to protect you. But I may not have the ability now, so I have to learn how to protect my sister"

Ming Jing's eyes were red, and she tried hard not to let the tears fall.He lifted his younger brother and hugged his shoulders. The boy was almost as tall as her.

"Silly boy, sister will be fine"

"Sister, I can't live without my sister." Minglou buried his face on his sister's shoulder, and his sister said that a man is not allowed to cry, he can't let his sister see the tears in his eyes.

"Silly boy, my sister will be careful, and my sister will not leave you. I still want to watch our Ming parents grow up and become a university student. Don't be sad, pack your things, and my sister will send you to class."

Minglou didn't know that this wasn't the last time his sister called him a silly kid.Later, when his sister called him that again, he had grown up and was not just a scholar, but that night, he lost his sister forever. ?
