"I've seen people act shamelessly, but I've never seen anyone this shameless!"
The onlookers all looked at Cheng Shanshan with disdain and began to criticize her. She merely glanced at them coldly, her intense killing intent silencing them immediately. Then, she didn't want to beat around the bush with Liu Liu anymore and went straight to the point: "Liu Liu, I don't want to fall out with you because we've known each other before, but if you keep playing these tricks on me, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Sister, I..."
Liu Liu looked startled: "Have you misunderstood something about me?"
"Yes, it really is a misunderstanding." Cheng Shanshan sneered, "After all, I never thought that such a sweet smile would hide another face."
Liu Liu looked at her with a somewhat aggrieved expression: "Sister, do you mean you don't like Brother Huo?"
"Yes, I don't like it."
Cheng Shanshan didn't want to get entangled with her any further, so she gave a very straightforward answer.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she noticed the strange looks from the people next to her. When she turned around, she saw a tall figure appear behind her.
His back was ramrod straight, and his once-splendid eyebrows and eyes had lost their luster, instead exuding a faint sense of fragility.
Huo Mingchen stared at Cheng Shanshan, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.
After all, the mere phrase "dislike" had plunged him into despair.
Cheng Shanshan had just spoken offhand, trying to shut Liu Liu up. She hadn't expected Huo Mingchen to appear in front of her. But there was no way to explain this situation, so she could only turn to Liu Liu and say, "Alright, that's enough of your act. I don't have time to waste with you."
"elder sister……"
Liu Liu seemed to want to talk to her.
But Cheng Shanshan ignored her, only glancing at Huo Mingchen before leaving.
After Cheng Shanshan left, Huo Mingchen also turned and left. Liu Liu quickly chased after him and explained, "Brother Huo, I just wanted to help you persuade my sister. Please don't be angry, okay?"
Huo Mingchen didn't even glance at it, instead quickening his pace.
Liu Liu stamped her feet in frustration: "But you heard her say she doesn't like you anymore, don't you understand?"
Huo Mingchen suddenly stopped and turned around, his eyes as cold as an icy pool: "You've crossed the line!"
"..."
Liu Liu was stunned.
She wanted to say something.
But she could only watch Huo Mingchen's figure walk further and further away until he disappeared. Only then did she suddenly smile, a smile that revealed a ruthless determination to gamble everything!
Cheng Shanshan, you must die!
...
On the other side.
Cheng Shanshan's mood was affected by Liu Liu, so after returning, she could only turn her grief and anger into strength. First, she tidied up the dogs one by one and arranged them in their respective places. Then, she asked Cheng Shisi to help her retrieve the things from the blacksmith's shop.
She then carefully considered the items in the courtyard, afraid of forgetting anything.
As she was lost in thought, the wolf cub Rice Ball ran into her arms, the little creature clinging to her affectionately: "Are you hungry again?"
"Awoo!"
Rice Ball immediately gave an affirmative answer.
Cheng Shanshan was utterly helpless about this: "You're such a little guy, but your appetite is comparable to that of the whole group. It'll cost a lot of money to raise you."
Rice Ball seemed to sense that it was being disliked, and its icy blue eyes immediately turned pitiful, which made Cheng Shanshan both laugh and cry: "Alright, alright, no need to act cute. Don't worry, I can afford to take care of you."
The wolf cub Rice Ball and the pack of twenty large dogs in training helped her, but also caused her a lot of trouble. However, she preferred animals to people.
After all, human nature is full of too many uncontrollable factors, and Liu Liu is the best example of this.
When Mingming first met Liu Liu, she felt that Liu Liu's eyes were shining.
She never expected that Huo Mingchen would turn the two of them into adversaries. The more she thought about what happened today, the angrier she became, especially when she thought about the look Huo Mingchen gave her at the end...
"Awoo!"
Rice Ball seemed to sense Cheng Shanshan's emotional fluctuations, and nuzzled her hand with its little head. The fluffy texture made her unable to resist rubbing it.
At this moment, Bai came over, looking somewhat anxious: "Shanshan, your father seems to be feeling unwell. I can't get him up no matter what I do today."
"I'll go take a look."
Cheng Shanshan immediately got up and went over.
After Cheng Sijin was brought back by her, she made him work all the time, and the rest of the time she locked him in a room in the corner. At first, he was always making a fuss.
After a few days of making a fuss, he realized that Cheng Shanshan was ruthless and didn't talk much. She ignored his pleas for help from beginning to end, so he stopped making a fuss. After all, it was useless.
Bai looked at Cheng Sijin on the bed with a worried expression: "Shanshan, his body is burning hot."
Cheng Shanshan didn't rush over to see him. Instead, she said to Bai Shi in a serious tone, "Mother, don't think that just because I let him come back, I can change the fact that he abandoned his wife and daughter. Your soft-heartedness now makes me want to stab him in the back."
She has never been a soft-hearted person, especially towards such a heartless ingrate!
Bai was clearly startled by Cheng Shanshan's appearance and quickly explained, "Shanshan, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it, it's just... I just think it's strange that he's suddenly acting like this."
"I hope you didn't soften your heart, Mother."
Cheng Shanshan knew Bai's personality all too well.
Therefore, to avoid unnecessary trouble, she had to warn Cheng Sijin first. After saying that, she sat down on the bed to check on Cheng Sijin.
Her medical skills couldn't compare to Huo Mingchen's, but she could handle most minor illnesses.
She thought that Cheng Sijin was just faking illness to avoid work, but she didn't expect that the pulse diagnosis would reveal that the pulse was very strange.
At this moment, Cheng Sijin's lips were turning purple, and her whole body was trembling uncontrollably. Bai Shi, who was next to her, was a little uneasy: "Shanshan, what's wrong with him?"
"It's nothing serious."
This pulse is a typical symptom of poisoning, but she doesn't know what kind of poison it is, so she doesn't want to frighten Bai.
But Madam Bai still sensed something was wrong: "If nothing's wrong, why isn't he waking up?" After saying that, she realized she had overreacted and quickly suppressed her emotions: "How about I go and get a doctor?"
"There's no need."
Cheng Shanshan glanced at him.
The way this poison was administered was too suspicious; she feared someone was setting a trap for her.
Thinking of this, she took out a bottle of heat-clearing and detoxifying pills she had stockpiled from her sleeve: "Just feed him this." Judging from his appearance, he wouldn't die for the time being, so she could stall for time and make a long-term plan.
"good."
Bai was clearly still worried.
However, she didn't dare to show it too obviously under these circumstances: "Then I'll go pour a bowl of hot water." After saying that, she went out the door.
Cheng Shanshan remained alone in the room, watching Cheng Sijin on the bed...
