The area in front of the gate was empty.
It was as if those two cars were just a figment of my imagination.
Huo Chenyu looked at the light he hadn't turned off in his haste to leave and scratched his head in confusion.
Chengnan Road intersection.
Huo Yancheng sighed deeply:
"Confirmed! My brother is really blind, beyond saving."
Tang Li patted him on the shoulder:
"Thank you so much for tonight. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
When I get back, I'll have to tidy up and decorate the house by myself, which will probably take up the whole night.
Huo Yancheng's earnest plea:
"Can I bring my blind and pitiful brother along?"
If the younger brother doesn't lend a hand, his sister-in-law will soon belong to someone else.
"Sure, of course I can," Tang Li readily agreed.
However, I would like to add:
"However, the meal time is yet to be determined."
Huo Yancheng pressed further:
"How long is 'pending'?"
"Pending" is just wishful thinking!
Tang Li started the car:
"Just you wait, do you think I'd let you go without a meal?"
Huo Yancheng leaned against the car window, glanced at the large box on the passenger seat, and said solicitously:
“Sister-in-law, let me help you with the arrangements. You’ve been completely open with me about my brother’s background, so I feel like I should do something for him too.”
That would be great!
Tang Li nodded:
"Then I'll owe you two meals."
Huo Yancheng laughed heartily:
"Don't worry, don't worry. Anyway, my sister-in-law will be eating with me sooner or later, so there's no need to calculate it so clearly. Sister-in-law, you drive ahead, and I'll follow behind."
It's been a long time since I've been back to Nanqiao Villa, but it was surprisingly clean inside, and even the food in the refrigerator was the freshest.
It felt like someone was living there.
Tang Li looked at Huo Yancheng, who was still laughing:
"Aren't you going to say anything?"
Huo Yancheng scratched his head:
“My brother told me not to say anything. People come here every day to clean and prepare food. Aren't you allergic to dust? He's worried you won't feel well when you come back to stay. And you like to stay up late; ordering takeout when you're hungry at night isn't hygienic and takes too long, so…”
"Although he doesn't know when you'll be back."
"Maybe you won't come back to live here, but he'll always be waiting for you."
No wonder he came along.
So that's where she was waiting.
Tang Li silently handed him Teacher Xi's painting:
"Thank you for hanging this up."
Huo Yancheng hung up the painting and followed behind Tang Li, acting as a persuader:
"Actually, you two still love each other deeply. You keep saying you won't forgive him, but aren't all the things you're doing now proof of how much you care about him? My brother is the same. He does more for you than he says. He's just a bit simple-minded, has low emotional intelligence, and his eyesight isn't very good, but he's alright in other aspects."
Huo Chenyu: Thank you so much, my dear brother!
Is there anything else?
Tang Li asked with a smile as he worked.
Huo Yancheng thought for a moment:
“Although my brother has two fathers, you don’t need to worry about the relationship between your father-in-law and daughter-in-law. Right now, my father is so eager to force my brother to carry you home in a sedan chair that he is afraid that you will be taken away by the Sheng family.”
After saying that, Huo Yancheng let out a dejected sigh:
"I suddenly feel sorry for my dad. After all that fighting, even if he wins, in the end Uncle Sheng will be the one who wins. My brother might even change his surname to Sheng and be called Sheng Chenyu."
To be honest, it sounds pretty good.
Huo Yancheng said to himself:
“Sister-in-law, a picture suddenly popped into my head.”
He spat twice more halfway through his sentence:
"Never mind, this image is unlucky."
Huo Yancheng, that little chatterbox, could really put on a whole show all by himself.
Tang Li found it both amusing and intriguing, so she asked:
What scene comes to mind?
Seeing that Tang Li was interested, Huo Yancheng sat cross-legged on the sofa and said in a serious tone:
“Look, aren’t my dad and Uncle Sheng arguing every day about whose daughter-in-law you are? What if one day you marry Brother Lu and my brother’s true identity is revealed? The two old men will be dumbfounded. They’ll argue and argue, and in the end, they’ll hand over their daughter-in-law to the Lu family. In the end, you won’t have the surname Huo or Sheng.”
Well...
You really think too much!
Tang Li shook his head:
"Alright, it's so late, you should go back to sleep. If you keep nagging, it'll be almost dawn."
Huo Yancheng, however, was still not satisfied:
"Sister-in-law, to be honest, if I were a girl, I would definitely choose to marry Brother Lu without hesitation. Although he is also Uncle Sheng's son, he is not his biological son after all. Do you believe that if you really married Brother Lu, my father and Uncle Sheng would definitely cry their hearts out?"
letter!
Tang Li pulled him up:
"Not only will the two of them cry their hearts out, your brother will too."
Huo Yancheng patted his chest:
"Sister-in-law, I can do it too!"
Tang Li nodded:
"Alright, alright, then you two brothers can cry your eyes out when the time comes."
After seeing Huo Yancheng off, Tang Li returned to the living room and sat down, her mind a complete mess.
Huo Yancheng sat in the car, pondering for a long time, before finally shuddering:
"Does what my sister-in-law said mean... she's choosing Brother Lu? Otherwise, why would she have made us brothers cry our eyes out?"
no!
This won't do!
Huo Yancheng decisively got out of the car, preparing to launch another round of ideological bombardment against his sister-in-law, Tang Li.
However...
The doorbell rang for ages, but no one came to answer the door.
Call again, and the phone is off.
Huo Yancheng shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Sister-in-law, it's me, I haven't..."
