Chapter 112 We're All Fools

Huo Zhenhua was very frustrated, but he didn't dare to say it directly, fearing that Su Meng would be angry and he would lose the opportunity to get close to her.

His sharp eyebrows were lowered, his eyes were downcast, and his taut jawline appeared even sharper. He looked like the sun obscured by dark clouds, dim and dull, with a hint of coolness and loneliness.

Seeing that he was silent, Su Meng turned her head to look at him slyly, only to meet his dark and deep eyes.

His eyes seemed to have a magical power.

Scattered, fragmented lights swirled around the eddies in his eyes.

She could clearly see her reflection involuntarily sinking into the depths of his eyes, following the circles of light, as if she could hear his heart pounding like a drum and feel his body temperature burning like a volcano.

The image of our first meeting suddenly flashed into my mind, making me blush, and I felt my body temperature rise and my face burn.

"What are you thinking about? You silly goose, snap out of it!"

Huo Zhenhua could tell from her expression that she had remembered something.

Upon learning that she hadn't forgotten their intimate moments, his mood immediately improved, his eyes crinkled with a smile, and he quickly flicked her head.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ah Da turn around alertly, so he quickly stepped in front of Su Meng and followed after him with a serious expression.

Su Meng awkwardly rubbed her burning cheeks, glancing guiltily at the tall, thoughtful, and warm-hearted man in front of her, thinking to herself that he seemed alright when he wasn't being sarcastic.

At least I'm back to being a normal person.

It's quite comfortable to be around them.

It's not impossible to date him.

She lowered her head to hide her shyness, hiding behind Huo Zhenhua like a turtle, following closely behind.

My mind was unusually calm.

Two jeeps were parked in front of the hospital.

As Su Meng and Huo Zhenhua walked out, another jeep stopped.

Three identical jeeps. Su Meng glanced at them only once before walking past Huo Zhenhua toward the first one.

I wanted to jump into the car immediately.

Get away from this space that witnessed her loss of composure.

Are we in this car?

Before Huo Zhenhua could answer, she went to open the car door.

I just want to disappear from his sight as soon as possible.

She kept her head down the whole way, feeling that everyone was looking at her strangely, as if they were afraid that through her flushed face they could see the yellow paint in her mind.

So embarrassing!

Just as she was about to open the car door, her hand on the door handle was grabbed by a large hand, and a man's cold, deep voice sounded in her ear, "Not this one, you little idiot!"

When Huo Zhenhua first called her "little idiot," it was during her most embarrassing moment, and she was caught off guard.

This time, when she heard him shout like that again, Su Meng was furious.

I thought to myself that he had returned to normal, but only two minutes later, he started his sarcastic attack again.

snort!

This is intolerable!

She retorted fiercely, "You're the idiot, your whole family are idiots."

She was aggressive, but she deliberately lowered her voice because she was outside, yet she still rolled her eyes just as much.

Huo Zhenhua raised an eyebrow, reluctantly letting go of her small hand, chuckled softly, and patiently coaxed her in a low voice, "Yes! I'm an idiot, we're all idiots."

As he spoke, he opened the door of the second car and naturally helped her into the car.

Just then, the people in the third jeep got out.

Nie Pingting pointed in surprise at the person Huo Zhenhua had lifted into the car, then turned to the person inside and asked, "Mom, I saw Su Meng. That's Su Meng!"

Before Sister-in-law Nie could even open her smile, she sensed the coldness in Old Madam Nie's eyes and wisely shut her mouth.

I really don't know what my mother-in-law is so angry about. Our own family lost our token of love, and we're willing to give the Su family a thousand yuan as compensation.

No one else said anything, but the mother-in-law still felt the pinch and resented the Su family for accepting the thousand yuan.

They said it was their family heirloom.

It's a family heirloom!

This should be a priceless treasure, yet it's only worth a thousand; the Su family is being very generous.

Haha! My own mother-in-law wants to save face, but she can't bring herself to lower herself, and she's even more reluctant to part with her money.

In her mind, everyone except her Nie family members, including her daughter-in-law, was an outsider, and everyone else should fawn over them and go along with them.

Otherwise, they resort to cold words and passive-aggressive tactics.

"I really don't know how your family could raise a daughter who climbs into your husband's bed? You're happy now that you've ruined my son's reputation?"

They're all idiots! Don't they understand the principle that we all prosper together, and we all suffer together?

Madam Nie came along, cursing and swearing all the way.

Her granddaughter, Nie Pingting, was in the car during that time. She occasionally cursed a few times, but Nie Pingting stopped her.

Since Nie Pingting wasn't in the car, she seized the opportunity to unleash a torrent of abuse on Nie's sister-in-law.

Not satisfied with trampling on her daughter-in-law's dignity, she was furious and wanted to curse again.

Sister-in-law Nie interrupted softly, "Mother, my surname is Zhang, and Sun Qiao's surname is Sun. She's not from my family."

Sun Qiao did something wrong, so why should her family be criticized for being ill-mannered?

Sister-in-law Nie, Zhang Rui, was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she shed tears of grievance.

Su Meng and Nie Pingting exchanged a few casual words, their gazes sweeping over the jeep behind them.

Suddenly seeing Sister-in-law Nie's tearful and aggrieved appearance, he immediately whispered to Nie Pingting, "Go back quickly, your mother has been wronged."

Nie Pingting's expression froze, her smile stiffened, and she pouted, complaining softly, "My grandma... sigh! Su Meng, I heard you and my uncle broke off your engagement."

I think it's better to call off the engagement; otherwise, you'll definitely be bullied like my mother.

Su Meng: "......"

Why is this child so honest? Aren't you afraid your grandma will beat you if she hears this?

But she wasn't a fool who didn't understand social etiquette. She knew that if Nie Pingting said that, then Old Madam Nie must be no ordinary wicked mother-in-law.

Fortunately, I managed to escape the life of being scolded and tormented every day.

The gloom in my heart was swept away.

"Go and help your mother out of this predicament."

Nie Pingting nodded emphatically, "Can I still hang out with you in the future? You can't ignore me."

Su Meng smiled and waved, "You're welcome anytime."

She craned her neck, trying to see Nie Pingting's family through the rearview mirror.

Huo Zhenhua was sitting in the passenger seat.

He sensed Su Meng's gaze and stepped aside to move aside. "You can see me, right?"

Su Meng nodded, praising in a good mood, "You're so thoughtful, thank you!"

Huo Zhenhua also looked in the rearview mirror and met Su Meng's gaze in the mirror. He stated slowly and gently, "My mother is the village women's director, and my father is a primary school teacher."

They were all honest and hardworking farmers, and easy to get along with.

While Su Meng and Nie Pingting were chatting, he didn't miss the sympathy in Su Meng's eyes and the lingering fear on her face when she talked about Sister-in-law Nie.

The issue of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a perennial problem since ancient times.

He was afraid that once Su Meng met Old Madam Nie, she would become afraid of all mothers-in-law.

His journey to win back his wife was truly long and arduous.

"Huh?" Su Meng was speechless.

He was simply implying that the adults in his family were easier to get along with than those in the Nie family.

But what does this have to do with her?

Hmph! A coward who doesn't dare to confess his feelings is trying to win her over with sweet talk. Don't even think about it!

She looked away and glanced behind her with amusement.

Huo Zhenhua glanced at Su Meng in the rearview mirror again and again.

His lips parted and closed nervously, and he kept swallowing saliva due to nervousness; his Adam's apple moved up and down noticeably.

Even the flesh on the outside of the palm turned bright red from clenching the fist too tightly.

He wanted to take the opportunity to confess his feelings.

After quickly glancing around, he took a deep breath, mustered his courage, looked directly at Su Meng in the rearview mirror, and solemnly said, "Xiao Meng, I..."
