When Chen Ying returned to the institute's apartment, for the first time ever, she did not go to the laboratory to work, but sat on the sofa in a daze.

I stayed there until the evening. It was dark outside. The door of the apartment was opened and the light from the corridor shone in. With a "click", the room was brightly lit.

Fu Hengze was surprised to see his girlfriend curled up on the sofa: "Xiaoying, you are at home? I called you all afternoon, why didn't you answer?"

Chen Ying looked at him blankly, seemingly unable to understand why he was here.

Fu Hengze hurried over, sat next to her, held her hand and asked her gently, "What's wrong? Tell me what happened?"

The warmth of his palms brought her back to her senses, and she sighed softly: "It's okay, I just went to see Ah Chuan this afternoon."

There was a hidden dissatisfaction in Fu Hengze's eyes. Among so many people in the Chen family, the one he hated most was Chen Chuan, whom he rarely saw.

Whenever that person saw him, a strange smile would appear on his lips, as if his thoughts were seen through.

This feeling is really terrible.

So Fu Hengze hated him extremely and didn't want to see him the most. Although he didn't like other people in the Chen family very much, the one he hated the most was Chen Chuan.

Although Chen Ying usually seems to be unconcerned about everything, she is very concerned about her younger brother.

You see, those two old guys in the Chen family, they clearly raised their granddaughter by their side while their grandson was taken away by someone else, but they nag their granddaughters every day, asking them to take better care of their younger brother in the future, causing all the daughters of the Chen family to treat their younger brother like a treasure.

According to Fu Hengze, among the four daughters of the Chen family, only the second daughter, Chen Xue, is considered smart.

My younger brother means nothing. When I get married, of course I have to put my husband’s family first.

But he didn't dare say this in front of Chen Ying.

Even though Chen Ying is an idiot in life and relies on him for everything, as if he has her in his hands, the fact is that when it comes to Chen Chuan, he can't say a word.

He had complained to her once before and was almost dumped. Since then, he knew what was going on and never said a bad word about Chen Chuan in front of her.

I really don't know how Chen Ying could be brainwashed by those two old guys into that state! Isn't it infuriating?

No matter what Fu Hengze thought, he didn't show it on his face, and asked gently, "What's wrong with him? Are you guys unhappy chatting?"

Chen Ying shook her head blankly: "It's hard to say."

Without saying a few words, she didn't know whether to say she was happy or unhappy.

I had been looking forward to seeing my little niece, but she... seemed to have messed up.

Alas, she still couldn't seem to get along comfortably with others, not even her own brother and niece.

Chen Ying was very distressed. She sat there for an entire afternoon but still couldn't come up with any solution.

Fu Hengze asked a few more questions, but Chen Ying was obviously unwilling to talk to him about anything about Chen Chuan, so he had to give up and change the subject: "By the way, are you ready?"

"What are you preparing for?" Chen Ying looked at him in confusion.

He suppressed the impatience in his eyes and said softly, "Didn't I tell you yesterday that I would have dinner with my parents and sister tonight?"

"Oh." As long as she didn't talk about her brother, Chen Ying returned to normal: "You did, but I don't remember promising you."

She stood up: "You go by yourself, I still have to go to the lab."

She hadn't been there for a day, so she had to go check it out.

Fu Hengze's temper is a bit out of control.

"Xiaoying, how can you be so willful? They are my parents and sister, my closest relatives. We have been abroad for so many years, you know how much they miss me, but you are unwilling to have a meal with them?"

"I thought we had a good relationship, but it turns out I was the only one who thought so. You don't care about me at all. I'm very disappointed in you."

Chen Ying looked at him strangely: "I don't know them well, why should I eat with them?"

"They are my parents, my relatives!"

"So?" Chen Ying looked at her watch again: "I don't even have time to eat with my parents, why should I eat with yours? Okay." She picked up her phone and transferred some money to him: "You go and eat, this meal is my treat, okay?"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

She had to work hard to make up for the precious afternoon she had wasted today, as she still had several pieces of data to test.

Fu Hengze gritted his teeth and looked at her back, his fists clenched so tightly that veins were almost bulging.

This woman has no heart!

If it weren't for the fact that she was still useful to him, he would have dumped her long ago!!

"Xiaoying!"

Chen Ying held the door handle with one hand and looked at him puzzledly: "What's wrong? Do you have anything else to say?"

Didn't she solve them all?

"Xiaoying, I've been so good to you and given so much for you, but you treat me like this. I'm really sad and disappointed."

Chen Ying looked confused: "What's wrong with you? Did I do something wrong?"

"Of course you're wrong. You look down on me, so you also look down on my parents and my family, right?"

"I do not have……"

"You did!" Fu Hengze looked at her with a sad face: "Xiaoying, in order to be with you, I stayed with you in Country D for almost ten years. I was separated from my family for a long time. I finally came back. They just wanted to have a meal with us, meet and chat, and care about us. You didn't even give them such a small chance?"

"I……"

"We have been together for so many years, and I have always been the one giving. Xiaoying, love is not like that. No one can give unilaterally for so many years and not get tired. I am really tired."

Chen Ying was even more confused. She didn't understand why just not having dinner with his parents could be linked to whether he was tired or not.

He is him and his family is family. Is this hard to understand?

But his sad look made her heart sad as well.

"Don't say anything. I'll go. Is that not okay?"

"Really?" He raised his head in surprise and looked at her excitedly.

Seeing how happy he was, she nodded involuntarily: "Yeah."

"It's just that I don't have that much time..."

Fu Hengze smiled: "I understand, Xiaoying, I'm very happy that you can agree to let me go." He reached out and held her hand, hugging her in his arms: "You are doing this for me, how can I not understand your heart?"

Chen Ying leaned into his arms and slowly closed her eyes.

Maybe this is what you need to pay to love someone. In addition to the person, you also have to deal with his family.

Alas... She sighed in her heart. Love is really troublesome. Experimentation is the simplest. Right is right, wrong is wrong, there is no human feelings or worldly wisdom.
