Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from last time, I was discharged from the hospital and went home. I wanted to keep a low profile and cover up the entertainment news about my embarrassing fall down the stairs. But Cheng Cheng wanted to let the whole world know that I was in the hospital. He came with a whole car convoy! They all parked downstairs, and a bunch of people gathered around. The noise even woke up the old man who often went to the sun downstairs! When he saw me passing by, he asked me who was so wicked and whether the hospital was showing off?

How should I answer? This is the bullseye!

In desperation, I had to take a radical approach and report to the family of the old man in the inpatient building that he was sitting in a drafty environment and was about to catch a cold. So the old man was taken back to the ward before he could even wait for my answer, and when he left, he gave me a look of contempt, as if it was no different from him scolding my family for being immoral.

tsk...

Forget it.

I quickly covered my face and rushed to the car. I felt better when I stepped on the accelerator and drove onto the main road. It was really bad luck that I happened to catch the rush hour. It was time for dinner when I got home. I wanted to eat something and enjoy the sleep without Gao Xinci, but Chengcheng seemed to be welcoming me. There was a long table with a full banquet, delicacies from land and sea, and everything you could imagine. But there were only three people eating, including the two of us. What a waste...

Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, frowned in distress and looked at him: "Are you feeding the pigs?"

Cheng Cheng didn't care: "I'm here to welcome my sister, you're just a freeloader, stop talking——"

The two of them were arguing, and I rarely felt any murderous intent. Perhaps they were so used to quarreling that I didn't react. I shrugged and picked up a piece of food with chopsticks to eat. Unfortunately, before I could put it in my mouth, Zhizhi patted me on the shoulder. I glanced sideways and saw that his eyes were still on Chengcheng, very sincere.

"How can you say that about your sister?"

I:……

Cheng Cheng: ...Are you okay? If you're okay, go eat Liuliumei.

Zhizhi: I won’t eat it then. I’ll eat whatever your sister eats. I’ll make you mad to death.

"Hey, you smart guy! Get it straight, okay? If my sister hadn't been on your side, you would have had to go to the kitchen to eat! I'm already giving in to you by letting you sit here!" Cheng Cheng put one foot on the chair and showed an attitude of wanting to fight.

Zhizhi, who had been silent for a long time, was not afraid at all and stood up with her fork: "You also know that your sister is on my side? Then why don't you just eat your meal quietly? Be careful or I will instigate your sister to ignore you in a few days. I have a lot of bad things to say about you!"

"Come on, stop arguing and eat quickly. It will get cold soon. But Chengcheng, I'm just going home, there's no need to make such a big fuss. Make less next time. Who can eat so much?" I pushed the two of them apart while sticking my head to pour soup into my mouth.

Cheng Cheng made an annoyed sound, which made Zhi Zhi shake his head proudly. It seemed that a fight would break out in the next second. Fortunately, someone knocked on the door immediately. The nanny went to open it. Cheng Cheng squeezed over to complain to me, saying that it was Zhi who was trying to attract my attention. How could I not know? Zhi Zhi was embarrassed and shrank his head after being exposed. I smiled at him, but I didn't care too much.

In fact, I am familiar with his state whether he is quiet or not, so I won't react too much. He is not talkative. He was like that in his previous life. And for him, a person who has lost too much, it doesn't matter if he loses another one. He will get over it sooner or later. The person who worked hard to climb up to the top of the Fu family just wanted power and wealth. He got what he wanted most, and the rest are just luxuries, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't have them.

The food was tasteless, but I didn't mind. Fortunately, Cheng Cheng's elaborate welcoming banquet would not be wasted. I knew who would come to my house so late at night. But besides the guests, I always felt that someone was missing. It took me a long time to remember. I patted Cheng Cheng and said, "Where's Shen Qilin?"

Cheng Cheng was stunned for a moment before she smiled: "I asked him to do something for me, he will be back soon, sister, please eat more, I have something else to tell you after dinner."

"Are you sure you want to talk after dinner? I may not be free then." I sighed deeply.

Cheng Cheng was still curious, but before she could ask, she heard the sounds of laughter and playfulness coming from the outer courtyard. She immediately gasped, "Why is there a child crying? Didn't we just send him away..."

"I've said before that Lu Zeyun should change his name to Zhou Paopi. He has ten million ways to exploit me, and I can't retaliate against him in the same way. Can the child stay with him for more than half an hour? He will never be Dehua's in his life. This profession has a very high threshold." I whispered in a low voice, and soon I felt a chill on my back. However, I didn't back down at all. After all, he was the one who needed help now. He hugged Yunyun and pushed her into my arms.

"Please help me, I have an extra operation to do. I swear I will come here tonight and take all the children away!" Lu Zeyun's expression was cunning.

I was no longer moved. I hugged Yunyun and fed her a piece of abalone: ​​"Baby, do you believe what your uncle said?"

Before Yunyun could say anything, Zhou Zhi jumped out to expose his father's trick. He put his little face close to him and pointed at Lu Zeyun and laughed, "I don't believe it! If Dad comes back to pick us up, I will write my name upside down!"

"You little rascal, you're a traitor to your own people, aren't you?" Lu Zeqin rolled his eyes, making Zhou Zhi laugh. Perhaps as time was running out, he left in a hurry.

I hugged Yunyun and kissed her, and then Zhouzhi, Lingling, Yaya, Yangyang and Jinjin. Chengcheng came over quietly, but I slapped him back with disgust. After feeding the kids, I still had to play with them and look at the new report of Ruiyi. How could I have time to deal with him? It’s better for such a big brother to find fun on his own.

Maybe Cheng Cheng really heard my voice. She wanted to hold my head and accuse me of being biased. But she calmed down after a while, held her head and raised her head again: "Sister, I may have to go out to do something these few days. I won't be back to stay at night. I will leave when Shen Qilin comes back."

I nodded: "You go."

Cheng Cheng:?

Me: I didn’t stop you, but you’re still not satisfied with letting you go?

It would have been fine if I hadn't said this, but as soon as I said it, I got angry. The next second, Xiao Cheng rushed over, pinched my shoulder and grimaced: "You still say you're not partial! You were so anxious when Yangyang wasn't around a second ago, and you didn't care about me even though I'm going to stay out for several days! I think you treat Zhou Zhi better than me--"

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How old are you? How old is Zhou Zhi? How old is Yang Yang? Logically, you should take care of them like me, but how come you can take the initiative to stand on the same echelon with them? You only grow taller but don't lose your childishness?"

Cheng Cheng pouted and still refused to accept it. Just then, Li Xi came to say that there were guests. I thought that the Hou family had sent Yan Yan back, and was about to greet them, but she pushed me back, her face full of annoyance and helplessness: "It's the neighbor next door, the stinky woman from the Zhao family is here, and she brought her son with her."

It turned out to be Wang Jinglei, who had finally accumulated a little happiness throughout the night. I almost forgot that I had to deal with her when I returned to Linjiang, but I didn't expect it to be so early. I thought she would delay it for a few more years to let me get over it, or maybe she just lacked patience, so she dared to come after only seven years.

"Tell her I'm just about to go out and that I came at an untimely moment. We can get together again next time when I tell you." I sneered, but unfortunately I was blocked again.

"It's too late. She walked in on her own and I guess she has already reached the inner courtyard." Li Xi curled the corners of his mouth.

Cheng Cheng quickly let go of my hand, gave me an awkward but polite smile to apologize, and stood up: "Sister, please forgive me for not accompanying you. You know I hate children! Especially her Zhao Hanqing is so rude. He smashed my figurines and changed the wallpaper on my computer to Peppa Pig. I guess Shen Qilin will be back soon, so I'll pack up and leave. See you in a few days!"

"Unfaithful..." I muttered, and then pinched Li Xi's neck again. It would have been fine if Chengzai escaped, but the last teammate couldn't run away at all. After struggling for three seconds in vain, Li Xi finally accepted his fate and sighed deeply.

"We have many children. Several aristocratic families in Linjiang are raising them here, and those without children are intermarrying with each other. It's like a ready-made power center. I think she gave birth to a son and is worried that her son will fall behind, so she can't wait to squeeze the child in so that she can have a relationship with the other families and make the adults pay attention to her. She's very cunning." Li Xi's eyes were rolling to the horizon.

I just smiled and thought nothing of it. Seeing outside the window, people were already urging Zhao Hanqing to say hello to other children. I quickly patted Li Xi on the shoulder and said, "Come on, now that you're here, don't be too rude to her, especially to the child. After all, the mother and child represent not only themselves, but also Zhao Kanhai's face. Other people are sensible, but we are petty."

Li Xi gritted her teeth but could only stare at the other person and swallow her breath: "I know, how dare I compete with her? She is the rich lady, the master of the house, and I am just a little nanny. If I make her angry, she will complain to the housekeeper about me, and I will lose more than I gain."

"Did she make you angry when I wasn't around?" I asked quietly. Li Xi nodded fiercely. How could I tolerate this? I immediately protected her behind me and waited for the show to begin. However, there was still a question that lingered in my mind for a long time. Finally, I couldn't help but pull the corner of Li Xi's clothes and ask, "What's her son's name? Zhao Hanqing? Why does it sound so familiar to me? I seem to have heard of it somewhere before."

"Leave a loyal heart to shine in history, Crossing the Zero Ding Ocean, high school student, she split the three characters of the name and used it as her name, saying it has a good meaning."

"Ah? Aren't these the same words? Puns will be penalized."

Li Xi laughed out loud and quickly covered her mouth, her brows still furrowed: "Be content, you almost called him Zhao Xiaohai. Dad Zhao Kanhai is Zhao Xiaohai."

"It's weird to be so perfunctory." I shrugged.

The next second, the Zhao family's mother and son were brought in. After seven years, Jinglei had improved a bit. She no longer piled all kinds of jewels on herself like she did when she first got married, and went out like a mountain of gold. Now she only wore an ordinary Chanel style dress, pearl earrings, and a pearl necklace. The most dazzling thing was the diamond ring on her hand, but that was a wedding ring, and she would never take it off no matter what clothes she changed into.

I smiled and asked her to sit down. After all, she was the adopted daughter of my family who was publicly acknowledged, and she was still my elder sister in terms of age. Even if I looked like I had swallowed a fly at first, I couldn't make a fool of myself. I asked the aunt to bring Lingling in, and waved to Xiao Hanqing.

Jinglei quickly urged her son: "Go quickly, this is mom's good friend, the one you call Auntie."

I leaned over, and the child ran over to me in a few steps. He seemed to be holding back his laughter and looking up, waiting for what I would say. Upon closer inspection, I saw that he had really inherited Zhao Kanhai's liveliness and activity. No wonder Cheng Cheng said that to him. He hated Zhao Kanhai's quarrels the most when he just started school. It's true that like father, like son - but I still think that a child who replaces the original wallpaper of a computer with Peppa Pig wallpaper can't be that bad.

I touched his little face and said, "Hello, little Hanqing, I just took a look around. Auntie has a lot of fun toys and a lot of children here. It's very lively. Do you like it?"

"Aunt?" The little boy scratched his head and found that what I said did not match the understanding he had just gained.

Wang Jinglei's face was also a little dark. I was too lazy to pay attention and nodded to myself: "Yes, your father has always called me sister, what do you think your father's sister should be called?"

"Auntie!" Little Han Qing jumped up and laughed. Maybe his father told him that he could make noises at his own home. Isn't auntie a family member? I was also afraid that such a young child would hurt himself if he kept holding back his laughter.

Li Xi went to the warehouse to choose a suitable gift for the child. When I opened it, I saw a delicate little gold lock. I hung it on him immediately. At that moment, my aunt brought Lingling back. The little guy didn’t know what was wrong and felt a little embarrassed. It was better for Lingling to come to him herself and shake his hand.

"Hello, my name is Fu Jiangling. Who are you? Would you like to play with us?"

The child looked up at me and then stretched out his hand with a smile. I had no objection to having one more child, but I didn't know why some people would be so fussy about the name and suddenly say something.

"Shishi, are you still blaming me?"

I took a deep breath and signaled to her that the children were still there. Fortunately, only Lingling looked up. Zhao Hanqing was as heartless as his father. He was wholeheartedly focused on his new friend and didn't hear it at all. Otherwise, our two families would have lost face in the future, and it would not be a good thing no matter how you look at it.

I asked my aunt to take the children out, then I sat back on the sofa and pulled the corners of my mouth to pretend to smile: "Why should I blame you? I just feel that there is no way to talk about the two of us. A few years ago, Old Fu adopted you as his adopted daughter, but there was no proper recognition ceremony. In all these years, I haven't seen you do anything good for the Fu family. It took seven years for you to return home. I almost forgot about you..."

"Was it really me who didn't want to go back to the Fu family? At least I thought about myself and my father! I worked hard to climb up. Even if I was an adopted daughter, I was marrying for the Fu family, right? How difficult is it to get the Zhao family's parents to recognize me?" Wang Jinglei said, looking at me sincerely and sneering: "Now that my father is gone, the glory of the Fu family's eldest house is still there. You don't really think it's all your own credit? You also know that there are no eternal friends in the business world, only eternal interests. Wei Sinian's betrayal and Kan Hai have completely understood that childhood friendships are not trustworthy. If it weren't for my constant lobbying and if he didn't still think that I belonged to the Fu family, would he drag the Zhao family to recognize the Fu family's eldest house?"

When I said this, Li Xi laughed at me. Zhao's parents are not dead yet. If it is really like what she said, and her parents-in-law are so difficult to accept, how could they let her whisper in their ears and urge their son and use the entire family to support a crumbling eldest house?

I am incapable, but my Chengcheng is not dead. He gets into a lot of trouble, but he is also very efficient. As the saying goes, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.

"Yeah, things are changing outside, how can there be eternal friends? But I heard that Kanhai and Xinci are still good brothers who are as close as a family?" I leaned to one side on my arm and smiled tiredly: "So Jinglei, I haven't let the children call me aunt yet, don't be so anxious, don't make me feel that the temple is too small to accommodate the big Buddha."
