Chapter 8: Green Tea Chen Zhaoyue: My sister and aunt often show off outside

"..." When he reached the door, Liu Hongyang suddenly turned around and looked at the three people in the room.

Chen Zhaoyue lowered her head, her shoulders twitching, and she looked like she was crying.

However, only Shen Zhaoyue herself knew that she was trying hard to hold back her laughter, because the way Liu Hongyang walked with his neck crooked was so funny!

But Liu Hongyang didn't care whether she was crying or not, he only had himself in his mind.

Compared with the three people in the room who were only wearing pajamas but at least looked decent, he looked much more disheveled at this moment. He was only wearing a pair of shorts, but fortunately they were loose enough so as not to embarrass him too much.

However, the pajamas he was wearing were not Chen Zhaoyue's bad taste, but Liu Hongyang had taken them off himself at night, and she just took them away when she was packing up.

"Forget it..." Liu Hongyang looked around and finally sighed resignedly.

Now in this completely empty house, there was nothing to cover his body with, and he couldn't let the three women give him clothes to wear...

After preparing himself mentally for a long time, Liu Hongyang gritted his teeth and went out.

After a while, when he was standing shirtless at the door of his neighbor Lao Wang's house, Aunt Wang, who had just returned from buying groceries, almost spilled soy milk on him.

"Oh my God!" Aunt Wang clutched her chest and took two steps back before she could see who it was. "Boss Liu, what's going on?"

"I..." Liu Hongyang's whole body turned red instantly, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

But he could only tilt his neck and explain with difficulty: "My house was robbed last night... I want to borrow some clothes..."

Liu Hongyang always dresses neatly when he goes out. When has he ever been so embarrassed?

"How could I be a thief? Where did this thief come from? He is so wicked that he even steals clothes?" Aunt Wang was shocked.

Her shrill voice was particularly harsh in the quiet morning. When the neighbors heard "burglary", they all opened their doors.

Old Wang from Aunt Wang's family opened the door with his eyes as big as copper bells. He looked up and down at his usually arrogant neighbor, who rarely lowered his head, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Liu Hongyang could feel more and more eyes around him glued to him. Those eyes were like countless needles, piercing his whole body and causing him pain.

But he had no clothes. Not to mention going to the dock, he was afraid that as soon as he went out, he would be taken away as a mental patient!

"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you." Lao Wang held back his laughter and turned around immediately after saying this, fearing that he would burst out laughing.

"Yeah," Liu Hongyang nodded, then gritted his teeth and spoke again: "Aunt Wang, could you please lend me two more sets of women's clothing..."

"Oh, sure!" Aunt Wang agreed without hesitation.

Although they had little contact with the Liu family, they were neighbors and had been taken care of by the Shen family. It was just two sets of clothes, so there was nothing to be reluctant about.

After a while, Lao Wang took out a set of clothes that looked like they had only been worn twice.

It’s just that Lao Wang is a little smaller than him, so his clothes are about two sizes smaller.

After Liu Hongyang put it on, he looked like a tied crab. The cuffs were so tight that his wrists turned blue, and his trouser legs hung above his ankles. It looked funny no matter how you looked at it.

"There's been a thief in your room. I guess there's nothing left to eat. Can you take some food away first?" When Aunt Wang brought the clothes, she also brought some food.

It was incomparable to what the Liu family usually ate. Liu Hongyang's first reaction when he saw it was a flash of disgust in his eyes.

But after tossing and turning for the whole morning, his stomach started to growl when he smelled the food. Thinking of the current situation at home, Liu Hongyang had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept the charity.

"Thank you."

Liu Hongyang took his things and hurried back. If he stayed any longer, he felt that he was no different from the monkeys in the zoo!

…

Liu Hongyang brought the things back home. Cao Jing and Liu Qingqing were used to being spoiled, and when they looked at these things, they couldn't hide their disgust on their faces.

"This dress is so ugly, and it's been worn by someone else... I don't want to wear it!" Liu Qingqing threw the dress to the ground in a fit of anger, with disgust all over her swollen face.

Although Cao Jing was holding the clothes, the way her fingers were pinching the corners of the clothes looked as if she was touching something dirty.

She hadn't touched this kind of coarse cloth clothes for more than ten years.

"We're neighbors after all, and they're just treating us with these leftovers?" Seeing the food Liu Hongyang brought back, Cao Jing couldn't help but complain: "Are they sending away beggars? The Wang family isn't poor!"

A bowl of cold porridge and a small bowl of wilted pickles, I don’t know how long they have been there.

Thinking about the time yesterday when she was still eating crab roe dumplings and drinking vegetable and pork porridge, she felt even more uncomfortable.

"Eat it or not!" Liu Hongyang frowned and simply took away all the food.

The clothes and food he had borrowed at great risk to save face were so despised by his wife and daughter, which made him feel even more embarrassed. Naturally, his anger was directed at Cao Jing who was speaking.

Even though he also disliked it, there was only so much food now, and it was just right that they didn't eat it. He alone still felt it was not enough!

"Dad, you've worked hard." Seeing this, Chen Zhaoyue walked forward with an understanding smile like green tea.

In the previous wave, she didn't get any old clothes or food. She was like a transparent person and was completely ignored.

But after watching the show, it's her turn to add fuel to the fire and let this family fight each other!

"Yeah." Seeing that he had a sensible daughter, Liu Hongyang nodded with satisfaction, but he had no intention of sharing the food with Chen Zhaoyue.

"Dad, when you went out just now, I kept thinking that this might not have been done by your family." Chen Zhaoyue's voice was soft and gentle, as if it contained some temptation.

"I've heard from the neighbors that my sisters and their friends are showing off a lot outside, and there are a lot of people who are jealous of our family."

As expected, Liu Hongyang narrowed his eyes.

Since taking over the Shen family business, he has indeed made many enemies.

But stealing from people's homes doesn't seem like their method...

"My sister and Aunt Cao have been going to the department store a lot lately," Chen Zhaoyue added casually, "and they bought two mink coats last week and brought back several bags of stuff. The neighbors all saw it and were so envious."

"Chen Zhaoyue, what nonsense are you talking about?" Cao Jing sensed something was wrong and hurriedly tried to stop him, "You're the only one who talks too much!"

However, Chen Zhaoyue just blinked innocently, and with her big watery eyes, she learned the "green tea" trick perfectly.

"Did she say something wrong?" Without waiting for Chen Zhaoyue to explain, Liu Hongyang started to attack.

Because the movement was too big, his neck felt a sharp pain again, which made him grimace in pain, and his gloomy face became even more terrifying.

"You, you two!" Liu Hongyang was so angry that he trembled. "After I brought you back, you showed off every day. You're afraid that others don't know that our family is rich, right?"

Liu Qingqing: “…”

"And you, as soon as you buy new jewelry, you love to play mahjong with the lady next door. Don't think I don't know what you mean!"

Cao Jing: “…”

How could the mother and daughter have imagined that they would be scolded like this?

Especially Liu Qingqing, because the father and daughter could not see each other for the past fourteen years, Liu Hongyang doted on her on weekdays and was reluctant to say anything harsh to her.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingqing pouted in grievance, her swollen face looking extremely aggrieved: "How could I..."

"Idiot!" Liu Hongyang held his neck and turned his head away. Even as his biological father, he couldn't bear to look at this ugly face: "You two should behave yourself for the next two days!"
