On the day my younger sister was brought home, my parents and older brother were beaming with joy when they heard my thoughts.
[Thank goodness, my sister is finally back. It's just a shame Dad's project is about to be snatched away. Should I warn him now?]
Tears in her eyes, Mom gazed at my sister, ready to give her the family heirloom jade bracelet worth tens of millions.
[Sigh, once Mom hands it over, she'll never get it back. In a moment, my sister will pretend to drop and break the bracelet to test how much Mom loves her. What a shame to ruin such a beautiful piece of jade.]
My older brother excitedly moved to pick up my sister. I tilted my head and looked at him.
[Poor big brother. His girlfriend is sitting on his best friend's lap right now. Tonight, when she tells him she's pregnant and he's going to be a dad, I wonder if he'll still be this happy!]
The very next second, Dad's phone rang.
