180 Su Qiao’s Injustice

Su Su concentrated on applying the ointment when she sensed something wrong with Su Qiao. She immediately stopped and said in a daze, “What did you say? Did you ask me if I’d believe you?”

Su Qiao looked away and then looked back at Su Su, pretending that he hadn’t looked at her expectantly previously. Then he said with a nasal voice, “I-I wasn’t the one who lifted the girl’s skirt. Sure, I was standing behind her then, but it could’ve been someone else or the wind. But I can assure you it wasn’t me. I would never do such a dirty thing!”

Su Qiao struggled to say those last few words. His body even started to tremble. From that reaction, Su Su finally understood what had happened.

“Do you mean someone framed you, Fifth Brother?” Su Su said in surprise.

“Well” Su Qiao buried his face into a pillow and said sullenly.

It would be pointless if Su Qiao were beaten for something he hadn’t done. Su Su widened her eyes and thought of something critical. She asked in shock, “Then why didn’t you tell Big Brother that?!”

‘If he had explained it to Big Brother, he wouldn’t have taken such a beating! I don’t understand you, Su Qiao!’

Su Qiao choked on his words, and after a moment, he explained weakly, “Someone had already framed me, and Big Brother started yelling at me the moment we got home. I was infuriated, so I yelled back at him. Even if I were to explain myself, I’d have no proof. Big Brother thought I was arguing with him, so”

The two brothers were stubborn and refused to yield. It was a hopeless argument on both sides. Su Qiao said that Su Jun didn’t deserve the right to be his elder brother, which motivated Su Jun to beat Su Qiao. But instead of begging for mercy, Su Qiao angered Su Jun even more.

Su Su was conflicted after hearing all of this. She felt even more helpless at the sight of Su Qiao’s wounds.

“Sigh, Su Jun already beat you so much, Fifth Brother. I don’t want to talk about this anymore.” Su Su’s lips twitched as she continued to apply the ointment onto Su Qiao’s wounds.

Once Su Su applied the ointment, Su Qiao felt the burning pain in his back lessen. He started speaking energetically, “Why is everything my fault? Big Brother always scolds me for not knowing right from wrong. I mocked him a few times, and he hit me.”

Su Su heard that Su Qiao was ridiculing Su Jun, so she hurriedly held him back and said, “Stop it, Su Qiao. The rebellious words you said just now are why you got beaten. I would’ve beat you too if I were Big Brother.”

Su Qiao fell back into the bed when he heard Su Su’s words.

Meanwhile, Su Su was thinking of a way to mend the relationship between Su Jun and Su Qiao. She thought of another matter and asked, “Since you said that you were just passing by at that time, what made the girl blame you for lifting her skirt?”

Su Qiao was stunned. Then he remembered what happened and said with uncertainty, “Someone or something had indeed lifted her skirt, revealing her blue underwear. Ahem, but I didn’t do anything. It could’ve been the wind.”

Su Su thought something was strange, so she asked, “Was anyone else around? Did anyone see what happened?”

“Let me think for a second. I remember seeing Bai Tao standing around while the other students played. They probably didn’t see what had happened. Otherwise, they would’ve helped me, and the girl wouldn’t have blamed me,” Su Qiao said with a pout.
