"His little sister was always smiling sweetly."
"She had a real talent for the piano."
"At such a young age, she already had impressive piano skills."
"I heard she had won many awards."
Zhang Bo curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Anyway, compared with her brother, the little sister was what everyone thought the children of that couple should be like."
"Everyone was quite happy for the couple."
"They felt the family had a worthy successor."
"At the same time, they worried that the little sister would be led astray by her brother... Whenever they happened to run into the couple, they would remind them, openly or subtly, to keep a closer eye on the girl..."
"At any rate, the uncles and aunties in the residential compound really cared a lot about that family."
Zhang Bo couldn't help smiling.
But soon, his smile faded.
A hint of gravity appeared on his face.
There was regret in his eyes, along with a sigh.
No one asked why.
Nor did anyone urge Zhang Bo to continue.
They all knew that after so much preamble, the main point was coming.
"...They were right to be concerned."
Zhang Bo rubbed his fingers against his teacup.
"I used to think they were worrying too much..."
"No matter how bad someone else's child is, that child is still their child."
"You all know that some uncles, aunties, grandfathers, and grandmothers are rather blunt..."
"Even if their own child is a complete mess, few parents are willing to hear someone else disparage their child."
"But..."
"Their worry was justified..."
At this, Zhuge Yun's heart lurched. "Was the little sister really led astray by her brother?"
It wouldn't have been strange.
The little sister was young and spent every day with her brother.
