Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 1111

Chapter 1111: Can I Come Again?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Le had originally intended to give her second brother a little dignity and was all ready to make a quick getaway. But before she could so much as take a step, Su Li caught her by the arm and refused to let her leave, insisting—rather foolishly—that they settle things once and for all.

Su Le blinked innocently at him, thinking, ’Sorry, dear second brother.’

Ten minutes later, Su Li had suffered an impressive six straight defeats. He sat there staring at the Goboard in complete disbelief, questioning the very meaning of his existence. His eyes welled up with unshed tears as he looked at Su Le, but he couldn’t even summon the strength to cry.

In the end, he managed to choke out a single, pathetic line, "When did you learn how to play Go?"

Su Bing and Xu Sheng were too busy showering Su Le with praise to even think about mocking Su Li.

Across the room, Gu Zi, noticing Su Li’s tragic, about-to-cry-but-can’t expression, wandered over curiously. It only took a minute for her to understand what had happened: Su Le could play Go—and win.

Without a second thought, she scooped the little girl up into her arms and carried her off to a quieter corner. "Lele, you can play Go now?" she asked in amazement.

Su Le nodded earnestly. She had learned long ago by watching Grandpa Gao during their many afternoons together. But not wanting to appear boastful and make her mother worry she might become arrogant, Su Le simply said, "Grandpa Gao taught me."

Gu Zi found this perfectly reasonable. Su Le had spent so much time at the Gao household, after all. Uncle Gao adored Go, and it made sense he would have taught her during their leisurely hours together. Still, she couldn’t help but be amazed at her daughter’s quick wit.

She tapped Su Le’s tiny nose affectionately and gushed, "My little Lele is just incredible!"

Then, raising her voice, she called out, "Su Bing, the food’s ready! Bring your brother and Xu Sheng in to eat."

Today’s lunch was a carefully curated feast—full of the children’s favorites, and hers too: hearty tomato beef noodles paired with icy, refreshing mint mung bean soup.

The moment they sat down, even Su Li’s soul-crushing, six-round defeat was forgotten. One sip of the cold, sweet mung bean soup, and he was back to his old, cocky self. Grinning like a cat who got the cream, he nudged Xu Sheng and said smugly, "My mom’s mung bean ice is the best, right? Eat up! Once you leave my house, you won’t get anything this good again!"

Xu Sheng ignored him, wisely choosing not to argue with the most scatterbrained of the siblings. But truth be told, Su Li wasn’t wrong. Xu Sheng genuinely loved the mung bean ice. He emptied an entire bowl in no time at all.

When he finished, Xu Sheng shyly and politely asked, "Auntie, can I have another bowl of mung bean ice, please?"

And frankly, Gu Zi liked Xu Sheng. He was polite, hardworking, and clever—nothing like his oblivious, snobbish mother. Having him around was good for her own kids too. She welcomed him warmly.

After lunch, Su Bing insisted on helping Gu Zi wash the dishes. Gu Zi tried to refuse, but Su Bing was determined, so she finally relented and suggested they do it together.

No sooner had the words left her mouth than the other three children came scrambling to volunteer for chores too.

Su Li was first, bounding over with a broom in hand. "Mom! I’ll sweep the floor!"

Not to be outdone, Su Le trotted to Gu Zi’s side, tugging on the hem of her blouse. "Mama, Lele will wipe the tables!"

Xu Sheng desperately wanted to join in too. His eyes darted around the kitchen, looking for a job he could manage. Spotting a smear of flour on the side of the refrigerator, he pointed eagerly and said, "Auntie, I’ll clean the fridge!"

Gu Zi laughed, her heart full. She was pleased to see the kids eager to help and felt it was good for them to do age-appropriate tasks.

She agreed to all their offers but made sure to caution Xu Sheng gently, "Xu Sheng, the fridge is an electrical appliance. When it’s plugged in, don’t use a wet cloth to wipe it, okay?"
