It's hard to be a stepmother

Chinese New Year is coming, and Huo Hanchuan will return to his home on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. Mrs. Huo has invited me several times before, starting from the beginning of the Laba Festival, but Huo Hanchuan has not gone back to live. He is very busy with work. Today It's time to be busy.

The last time I came to Huo's house was when I got married, almost 3 months from now.I didn't stay here last time, but this time Huo Hanchuan told me that he would stay here for three days and return to Xiao's house with me after the second day of the Lunar New Year.

So this time we will stay for three days.I packed my luggage, not too much, just a few clothes.

The New Year is a very festive day, and it is the same for the Huo family. The joy of the New Year can already be seen inside and outside the Huo family. Huo Yunlan, Huo Baize's little aunt, wore a fiery red sweater when she came out to welcome us .

She shouted at me: "Brother Chen!"

After seeing her elder brother looking at him, she called him: "Brother! Sister-in-law! You are finally here! I have been waiting for a long time! Ozawa!"

Huo Baize shouted to her: "Auntie, Happy New Year! Auntie, you are so red in your clothes!"

Huo Yunlan coughed: "I want to be prosperous, okay!" She smiled at me and said, "I want Brother Chen's acting career to be prosperous. Happy new year!"

I didn't expect her to say that, and I didn't know there would be such etiquette, so I paused and said, "Thank you."

She took my arm and looked at Huo Hanchuan: "I can take... sister-in-law's?"

Huo Hanchuan coughed lightly: "It doesn't matter whether you are old or young, you will be 19 years old in the new year."

Huo Yunlan nodded again and again: "I know, after the age of 18, men and women can't get married, but Brother Chen is my sister-in-law!"

I know that fans have a fiery heart for idols, but I have never been close to them. Wen Jing said that I am not suitable for descending to the world. She is afraid that I will fall into the altar and let fans down, so I don’t know what to do with my fans. Treat, fortunately I have another layer of identity, even if I'm dumb, Huo Yunlan didn't blame me, she thinks I probably have my own filter.

She held my arm with one hand, and led Huo Baize with the other, and led us into the house: "Brother Chen, Xiao Ze, my parents have been waiting for you for a long time! Brother, I cleaned up your room myself today, Brother Chen You haven't lived in our house yet, this time you have to stay for a few more days!"

I agreed: "Okay."

Regardless of whether the inside is used or not, the Huo family's hospitality is impeccable.The people who greeted me were very polite every time. After entering the main house, I greeted Mrs. Huo, Mrs. Huo, Huo Hanchuan’s father, and the second elder brother of the Huo family, and then Huo Yunlan took me to the room. rest.

After the butler helped me bring up my luggage, I went down. Before Huo Hanchuan came up, Huo Yunlan hurriedly dragged me to see her arrangement.I also read it carefully.

The last time I came to Huo Hanchuan's room, his room was very suitable for him. Except for the wedding things, everything else was his unique simple style, neat and tidy, but this time it was much more cheerful Chinese New Year elements, red Chinese knots on the transparent partition, carved vases on the sofa and coffee table, red roses, paper-cuts on the windows, etc., the most important thing is that this time there is a poster of me on the wall, very It was bigger than the wedding photo above the bed, taking up almost half of the wall.

There are other places where there are shadows in my life. The photos on the bedside table have many group photos. In addition to the photo of me and Huo Hanchuan getting married, there is also a photo of me and Huo Baize. The two of us can still have a group photo .

I looked at the group photo and wondered when it was taken. The background was at Huo Hanchuan's home. I was sitting on the sofa, and Huo Baize was sitting next to me. The two of us faced the camera blankly.

I remembered that this was taken by Yu Bo for the two of us.It was filmed the day before yesterday, after Huo Baize and I quarreled, so it was hard work for Yu Bo to be able to shoot like this.

Huo Yunlan watched me look at these photos, and asked me with a smile: "Is my arrangement okay?"

I thanked her, and she winked at me: "My elder brother asked me to arrange it."

This is because I had a fight with Huo Baize. I wanted to say something, but the last thing I could say was two words: "Thank you."

Huo Yunlan looked at me and smiled: "Brother Chen, why are you so polite, my elder brother likes you. Of course I like you too! I like you even more!"

I believed the latter sentence, so I looked at her and smiled.

If I hadn't heard the truth in the greenhouse, I would have thought that Huo Hanchuan liked me, but in fact it is the truth that I don't like me. There is so much love in this world, let alone Huo Hanchuan who is so hard-hearted. man of iron.

I am a cold-hearted person, but Huo Hanchuan is harder than mine.I don't have much dealings with him, but I'm good at observing words and demeanor. Judging from his way of dealing with things, this man is extremely deep, his heart is as deep as water, and his methods are even more ruthless.

What's more, he only has his wife in his heart, I know this very well.

Perhaps for others, it is easy to transfer love and forget old love, but that does not apply to Huo Hanchuan, whether it is the [Xianyan] brand he founded, or the one we manage on the top of our building. A hanging garden, all show his love for his dead wife.

Even marrying me was planned out of love for her, for the only child she left behind.I will not have children, and I will not compete with her children for favor.

As for the room full of my shadow now, it is because I want Huo Baize to get used to my existence earlier.

As for the big poster on the wall, I looked at Huo Yunlan and smiled: "Why did you think of choosing this poster?"

I knew she must have chosen the poster, and she said excitedly, "Brother Chen! My favorite is this photo of you! The Chen Ye you play is so handsome!"

The Chen Ye I played was one of my early roles. It has been almost five years, and now few people remember it. At that time, it was still a supporting role. I think no one knows except my fans.

Now that I'm sure she's really my fan, I smiled at her and said, "Thank you, I love it."

Embarrassed for a moment, she turned her head away.

Her voice was a little choked: "I, I..."

Before she finished speaking, the door of the room was pushed open, and it was Huo Hanchuan who came in. Huo Yunlan saw him, wiped his face hastily, and coughed: "Brother."

Huo Hanchuan glanced at her and then looked at me: "What's wrong? Are you packed?"

His tone is full of doubts, and I actually don't quite understand why fans have such deep affection for idols.

I saw that Huo Yunlan had tidied up his mood, so he nodded, the room was tidied up very well.Huo Hanchuan also looked around his room, he probably didn't expect that his room would be greatly changed, especially the large poster on the wall, he just stared at that poster.

I am different from the one on the poster. I was a fledgling at that time, with a childish face, and the male number three who played the spare tire was the young master of a rich family.

Now I have gone from the young master to the president level, this is the transformation process from the male number three to the male number one.No matter how much money you have in your own hands, it is true that you can be the master of your own family. The heroines are all very discerning.

I also looked at the poster on the wall, and laughed at myself. I have changed a lot. I don’t know when it became so realistic and mercenary.

Huo Hanchuan probably couldn't find my current shadow on the poster, so he kept looking at it, and Huo Yunlan asked him with a smile: "Brother, I chose, okay, I followed what you said, and I chose my sister-in-law's early stills. I Chen Brother was very good-looking in the early days."

Huo Hanchuan looked away from the poster and shook his head: "This is not his early stage photo."

Huo Yunlan rolled his eyes: "Ah, big brother, which early one are you talking about?"

Huo Hanchuan only glanced at her this time, without saying anything, he turned his head to look at me: "Do you still remember your first famous TV series?"

Isn't it the first famous one?

I made my debut for 7 years, and the first three years I have been playing tricks, playing any role, almost like an extra, my name will not appear on the cast list, the poster on the wall is the crew photo of "Snow, Sunny Sky and Blue", really First time I have a name on it.

I pointed to the poster: "This is it."

Huo Hanchuan looked at me, and the corners of his mouth moved a few times: "You really don't remember...?"

His tone was very low, and the last few words seemed to be muted, so I couldn't hear them clearly.

"Remember... what?" I looked at him suspiciously, could he know the TV series I acted in better than myself?

Huo Hanchuan looked at me for a while but didn't answer my question. He just looked at the poster and smiled: "This one is pretty good too."

Huo Yunlan was right next to me. Hearing his words, he rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Isn't that right, brother, I told you that it's wrapped on my body. The brother Chen I chose must look good."

Huo Hanchuan hummed, looked around the room but wanted to drive her away: "Yun Lan, Mom told you to go down and help."

Huo Yunlan said: "How can I help?"

Huo Hanchuan didn't speak, just looked at her, and she suddenly realized: "Oh, brother, you guys want to change clothes, right? I'm leaving now, that, brother Chen, no, sister-in-law, I'll go down first! "

Huo Yunlan quickly closed the door, and Huo Hanchuan walked towards the cloakroom. There was no housekeeper there. I took the tie and coat he had untied, and hung them in the closet.

I hung up slowly, and when I turned around, he had already changed into home clothes.

Seeing that I was standing still, he stepped forward to undress me, and I blocked it with my hand: "I can do it myself."

My hands are already healed, and it's not time to lose sight.

I'm just not used to changing clothes in the same room with others. I have been the first brother of our company for several years, and I have a separate changing room. In those years when I was not famous, I almost forgot the experience of changing clothes with others .Of course, at that time, it was just a set of clothes, and it was enough to put on a set of clothes.

If not for how depressed the people I used to change clothes with were, I'm gay.

That's not all accurate, I played a shirtless side character four years ago, but it was for the show and they shouldn't mind.

Because of this poster, I was distracted thinking about the past, changing clothes while thinking, I want to divert my attention.

Because Huo Hanchuan was waiting for me to change clothes, he didn’t leave. Although he is not in the cloakroom now, this bedroom is very transparent, and the partitions are all transparent. He is sitting on the sofa and looking at it with a photo frame. If I didn't guess wrong, it was a photo of me and Huo Baize, because there was a little smile on the corner of his mouth, and he could laugh when we took the same photo of the two of us as our enemies.

I unbuttoned my clothes while complaining. It was a little awkward to have someone waiting beside me. This was different from the past. I used to take off my clothes and go straight to the goal. Now I feel inexplicably innocent and uncomfortable.Even though Huo Hanchuan didn't fix his eyes on me, he is a very strong existence.I don't think it's possible that he doesn't exist.

I lowered my eyes and unbuttoned my clothes one by one. There were no outsiders today, so I changed into a loose light gray sweater and casual trousers.

Since I took off all my clothes, I let go, and Huo Hanchuan didn't look at me too much. After seeing enough of the group photo, he put down the photo frame and picked up another book to read, occasionally turning pages. Glancing at me, I couldn't see his expression clearly through the rose vase.

It's just that after I changed my clothes, he put down the book at the same time, looked me up and down, and commented: "This time it looks like the poster."

I took a look at the boy on the poster. He was sitting on the grass with his hands on the ground, looking at the heroine from afar and smiling.He was wearing a light gray sweater.But at that time, there was a kind of childishness inside and out.

I couldn't help but smile: "Do you want to go down?"

Huo Hanchuan hummed, and ran his fingers along the collar of my sweater: "They are all my family members, so you don't have to restrain yourself."

I glanced at him and nodded: "Okay, I see."

He passed my side with his hand and opened the door for me: "Let's go."

As Huo Hanchuan said, the gathering tonight is only the Huo family. The old lady of the Huo family is Huo Hanchuan's grandmother, the second elder brother and the second sister-in-law of the Huo family, Huo Hanchuan, me, Huo Yunlan, and Huo Hanchuan's father and mother.There are three children.

This time is much better than the last time. Now that I know the truth, I am no longer the one who designed Huo Hanchuan, so I am at ease with the Huo family. Needless to say, if I don’t want to talk, Huo Hanchuan’s father, the old man, occasionally He glanced at me and let him glance at it. Mrs. Huo asked me to eat vegetables and I ate them too.The Huo family's second elder brother and second sister-in-law watched and I let them watch.

They should have known about my taciturn, withdrawn and indifferent personality.

I was as silent as an invisible man.

Huo Baize was arranged by his father to sit between the two of us. Some vegetables could not be reached by his short arms. In addition to the butler next to him who would help him with the dishes, Huo Hanchuan would occasionally pick up vegetables for him. After that, he will clip it for me, and I thank him: "Thank you."

Huo Baize snorted in the middle: "You followed me and got all dirty."

I nodded: "Yes, if you eat more, I will also eat more."

Huo Baize said proudly, "Alright then!"

The child is short-sighted, his words made the adults at the table laugh, and the second sister-in-law of the Huo family laughed and said, "I think Xiao Ze and Xiao Chen have a very good relationship."

I glanced at Huo Baize, and sure enough, Huo Baize lived up to my expectations and said loudly: "I don't want to be nice to him!"

I couldn't hold back the corners of my mouth, and I thought the same as him.Huo Hanchuan glanced at me, his eyes were deep and difficult to understand under the glazed lamp of their house.I avoided his sight, he said, I can do whatever I want in their house.I was born with such a personality, so I couldn't be his successor, nor could I be his child's stepmother.

Everyone else at the table thought Huo Baize was a child, and laughed out loud.Huo Yunlan was the first to tease him and said: "Xiao Ze, you really don't know your blessings in the midst of blessings, my little aunt wants to change with you!"

Huo Baize looked at her puzzled: "Do you want to be nice to him!"

He pointed at me and asked, Huo Yunlan was amused by his words: "That's right."

Huo Baize immediately said: "That's good! Let him sleep in your room that night, don't let him sleep with my father."

Huo Yunlan choked, she just took a sip of red wine and it all came out.
