Chapter 17 Shameless
Ye Surong was standing in the yard, surrounded by a circle of people. No one knew what they were doing, but they were talking and laughing in a lively and harmonious atmosphere that was extremely eye-catching.
Bai Shuyao came over quickly, a forced smile on her face, and asked tentatively, "Aunt Hongying, what are you doing?"
Sun Hongying grinned from ear to ear, "Yaoyao, you're back? Look at me today, have I changed at all?"
Yaoyao?
Hearing the voice, Jiang Cha turned his head and looked over, just in time to see Bai Shuyao's familiar face.
Here we come!
Bai Shuyao had no time to notice Sun Hongying's changes. She was completely focused on why the situation before her was completely different from what she had imagined.
Vixen, slut, shameless.
Under normal circumstances, any decent woman would rush up angrily and tear the other person's mouth apart if she heard such words.
The mother and daughter in front of her were really patient! She had underestimated them.
Bai Shuyao took a deep breath, and a ball of anger blocked her chest, but she swallowed it down.
Ye Surong was applying a facial mask to He Meishan. No one knew what she was applying on He Meishan's face, but the milky white cream melted away, and He Meishan's face became visibly clean and white. Everyone gasped, and one by one, they watched this scene that was like a magic trick, and were so shocked that they didn't even want to go home and cook.
Is there anything Bai Shuyao doesn't understand?
"Auntie, why do you look so good today?" Bai Shuyao couldn't help but praise, but she had to pretend to be serious and attentive.
Jiang Cha felt like laughing when she saw this. She poured out the water in the basin, wrung out the towel, and placed it on the edge of the basin. Taking the opportunity to return the basin to He Meishan, she accidentally brushed against the edge of Bai Shuyao's clothes.
She had clearly taken two steps forward, but she turned around and pretended that she had just noticed Bai Shuyao. She took two steps back and stopped in front of Bai Shuyao.
"You are the sister who came to see me yesterday, right?" Jiang Cha smiled more beautifully than flowers. With just a curve of her eyes, her star-like black eyes became two crescent moons. The small dimple on one cheek added a bit of liveliness to her face that was as beautiful as a painting, making people unable to take their eyes off it.
Bai Shuyao looked at Jiang Cha's beautiful face without a single flaw, and forced herself to maintain her smile and composure.
The next second, the smile on her face completely disappeared.
"Have you returned the pen you gave me yesterday to my brother?"
That pen doesn't belong to Huo Jingchuan at all, what else does she have?
"Yes, Yaoyao, you said yesterday that you came to return the pen, and Sister Chacha kicked you out of the Huo family. I think Sister Chacha and Su Rong are very nice people, and they don't seem as unkind as you say! It's a good thing that everyone is here today, so you can explain everything to avoid misunderstandings."
Sun Hongying had a loud voice, and her sudden howl caused the people surrounding Ye Surong to turn around and prick up their ears, wanting to listen to what was going on.
Bai Shuyao noticed something was wrong and quickly tried to make amends, "It's just a pen. It's not a big deal. Why do you need to bring it up separately? Right? Jiang Cha sister!"
Jiang Cha felt as if he had suffered a great injustice. "Kick you out? How can you say that?"
Sun Hongying looked like a fair and just peacemaker.
Today, ginger tea made her look like she was eighteen years old again. Sun Hongying was not a fool, so she figured out the taste of it after a little thought.
Regarding what happened yesterday, it was possible that she had misunderstood the other person. She was feeling guilty about it and finally had the opportunity to clarify. Sun Hongying was more willing than anyone else to take charge of this matter.
What she didn't know was that Bai Shuyao was already cursing her in her heart.
Bai Shuyao swayed slightly, her heart in her throat. This bitch deliberately brought up this matter in front of everyone. She just wanted to see her make a fool of herself in public!
"You locked me out yesterday. I thought you didn't welcome me here!" Bai Shuyao's words were pale. She tried hard to create an expression of grievance, with a light pink at the corners of her eyes.
"Cha Cha, I saw you closing the door yesterday. You were indeed a little hasty!"
No matter how anxious you are to close the door, you have to wait until the person is far away before closing it!
The person was still standing by the door, and suddenly closed the door. No matter how you look at it, it seems like he doesn't want to see Bai Shuyao.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around them, Jiang Cha stopped hesitating and got straight to the point.
"I just arrived at the family compound yesterday morning. Before I even knew everyone, this woman knocked on my door and said my brother's pen was with her. She asked if he was home. At that time, he had just finished lunch and was leaving for work. I asked her to come back in the evening after he got off work, and then I locked the door."
Speaking of this, Jiang Cha felt a little sorry, but more of aggrieved. In her previous life, she had relied on this trick to negotiate countless orders for Jiang Guodong. When Bai Shuyao used this trick in front of her, Jiang Cha was not afraid at all.
"Because of the move, I didn't sleep well the night before, and I was busy all morning yesterday. After lunch, I thought about taking a nap. Just as I lay down, I was woken up by your knock on the door. I was so sleepy that I closed the door a little too hastily. Later, when I came to my senses, I felt extremely embarrassed."
"I was thinking that if you came to my house tonight to return the pen to my eldest brother, I would apologize to you. I waited and waited, but you didn't come. The more I thought about it, the more guilty I felt. I couldn't sleep well last night because of the guilt. Today, I finally ran into you, and I want to apologize to you solemnly. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to close the door so hastily yesterday. Can you forgive me?"
Jiang Cha spoke sincerely and acted frankly. He stared at Bai Shuyao with clear eyes, without dodging or evading, which made Bai Shuyao seem even more guilty.
"It's not a big deal. You don't have to apologize to me." The more solemn Jiang Cha's apology was, the more uneasy Bai Shuyao felt.
The girl in front of her was much more powerful than she had imagined.
Bai Shuyao's palms were full of sweat. She felt particularly unconfident when she said this, and she couldn't put on a smile. She looked a little serious, which was very different from her tearful look just now.
It was as if what she said, 'There's no need to apologize', was purely insincere, but in fact, she was thinking of a solution quickly in her mind.
No, she couldn't feel guilty. She just went to return the pen and was turned away by Jiang Cha. That was the fact!
"It's my fault for rushing to find Brother Jingchuan to return the pen. If I had been patient and waited until he got home from get off work that evening, there wouldn't have been this misunderstanding!"
Jiang Cha was soft, and so was she. Although her face was not as pretty as Jiang Cha's, she had a gentleness and grace unique to the south. When her eyebrows drooped, she looked quite pitiful.
Wow, this guy reacts pretty quickly?
Jiang Cha sneered in her heart but didn't show it on her face. Just as she was thinking about what to do next, Huo Jingchuan's voice suddenly rang out.
"What pen?"
When the person involved arrived, everyone spontaneously made way for him.
Huo Jingchuan was holding a lunch box in his hand, which contained the braised lion's head that he had specially brought back from the army canteen.
The vegetarian dishes in the army canteen are average, but most of the meat dishes are well cooked. This braised lion's head dish is especially popular with everyone.
Huo Jingchuan had not intended to buy it, but when he passed by the cafeteria, Jiang Cha suddenly appeared in his mind. She was so moved that she looked like she was about to cry because he gave her a chicken leg. He somehow took out the meat ticket from his pocket and bought a lion's head dish for his family.
He had just returned and hadn't even had time to enter the house. Taking advantage of his height, Huo Jingchuan saw Jiang Cha, who was surrounded by a group of people, looking aggrieved and pitiful.
As Huo Jingchuan approached, he heard Bai Shuyao say, "Come here and return his pen."
"Brother, you're back?" Jiang Cha's bright eyes lit up again.
When the little girl saw her, she was like a little rabbit seeing its beloved cabbage leaf, and she walked up to him in two or three steps.
Bai Shuyao's face turned pale. Huo Jingchuan was a well-known training fanatic in the army. At this time in the past, he should have been training his men in the training ground. Why did he come back so early today?
Jiang Cha pointed at Bai Shuyao and said, "It's this sister. She said your pen was left with her, so she came to you to return it."
The little girl spoke in a soft voice and told Huo Jingchuan the truth in a factual manner, hiding all the bad things. She didn't reveal a single word and had no intention of complaining at all. Everyone had a better impression of her!
Huo Jingchuan frowned. "I don't remember dropping my pen. Comrade Bai Shuyao, could you please let me have a look at your pen?"
"The pen...the pen is at my house. I didn't bring it with me."
The implication is that this matter should just be put behind us, with both sides taking a step back and not nitpicking.
But Huo Jingchuan, who was always smart, seemed to not understand what he was saying at all. "Comrade Bai Shuyao, please go back to the house to get it, so as to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings."
This sentence completely put Bai Shuyao on the fire. She couldn't go back to get a pen. Once she got a pen, the whole thing would be exposed. But if she didn't...
If she didn't take it, it would seem that she was in the wrong, as if she was deliberately instigating others to misinterpret ginger tea.
Sun Hongying nodded in agreement. "Yes, Yaoyao, Jingchuan is back. Go back and get the pen for Jingchuan to check if it's his lost one."
"That's right. The cheapest pen costs at least three or five yuan. Regardless of whether it was Jingchuan who lost it, it's no small matter!"
After He Meishan finished her facial, she also came over to Jiang Cha to watch the fun. Her husband was the political commissar, and his daily job was to ensure the high degree of centralization and unity of the troops.
In addition, He Meishan herself is the director of the Women's Federation. She has seen a lot of things in her daily life. When there was a confrontation between the three parties, she could tell at a glance that something was wrong.
Bai Shuyao never imagined that what she originally wanted to do to annoy the vixen mother and daughter would become a stone hitting her in the foot.
