Chen Ziqi gritted her teeth and said, "She used to study at the middle school next door. She tutored me when I was in sixth grade. I didn't like her at the time. She looked like a bitch. She must have been planning to hook up with my dad."
Chen Xu couldn't think of anything else to say except to say in his heart that his third uncle was awesome.
I just don't know what that girl looks like.
Objectively speaking, Uncle San is indeed the most handsome among the brothers. Aunt San used to be very beautiful. Although he is almost 40 years old, he is successful in his career. Even if he has a daughter, he is probably more popular among women.
However, looking at Chen Ziqi's condition, it might not be easy for Uncle San to get past her.
"What are you going to do?" he asked curiously.
"I will never let that woman be my stepmother." Chen Ziqi said it firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.
Chen Xu thought about his friendship with his uncle and tried his best to persuade him, "Why bother? Your father has been raising you alone for so many years. It's been so hard. Now he wants to find a partner. You should support him. Maybe they really love each other."
"True love?"
Chen Ziqi sneered, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? Old Chen is already forty years old and has a lot of health problems. Did that woman like him because he likes to drink, or because he has lumbar disease? Or maybe she just likes him because he's rich?"
Uncle San, I tried my best.
Chen Xu had nothing to say.
Suddenly, Chen Ziqi changed his words and softened his tone, "Chen Xu, you have to help me this time."
"Why should I help you? What benefit will it bring to me?" Chen Xu was unmoved.
"I call you brother."
"I am your brother."
"elder brother--"
Chen Ziqi pulled his sleeves and said in a long, aggrieved voice, "If you don't help me, I will be abused by my vicious stepmother in the future, wuwu..."
Oh my god, this skill of changing face is almost as good as Xia Jinse's.
Chen Xu was shocked. He was glaring and yelling at him just now, but in the blink of an eye, he turned into a harmless little lamb and started to act coquettishly.
No wonder Uncle San was so dominated by her. If he had a daughter like this, he would definitely be helpless.
"Don't try that on me."
Fortunately, she was just his cousin, so he was able to keep a straight face and pulled his hand back. "I am a junior, and I will not interfere in the affairs of my elders. Whatever you want to do is your business, don't drag me into it."
"Humph, cold-blooded."
Chen Ziqi felt a little embarrassed and stood up suddenly. "In that case, just leave me alone."
As he spoke, he pushed a suitcase out from the corner and walked out of the room.
Chen Xu chased after him, "Where are you going?"
Chen Ziqi ignored him, "It's none of your business."
"No, you can't leave until your father comes back." Chen Xu stopped her.
She let go of the suitcase and looked at him angrily, "Tie me up if you can."
Chen Xu was really troubled. This damn girl seemed really stubborn. He really couldn't force her, otherwise God knew what she would do. This kind of rebellious girl, once she went crazy, often didn't consider the consequences.
He thought about it and decided to talk calmly, "Tell me, what do you want?"
"I don't want to see Lao Chen." Chen Ziqi put forward a condition.
Chen Xu didn't comment, "What else?"
"I'm going to live outside for a few days."
"Not going to school?"
"Let Lao Chen ask for leave for me."
Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Chen Xu frowned and said, "What about your homework? You will take the high school entrance exam next year. Now is a critical moment."
Chen Xu couldn't help but mourn for his uncle in his heart. He felt that this girl was really capable of doing such a thing.
He asked, "Where do you want to live?"
Chen Ziqi said as a matter of course, "Of course I'll go to your house."
"My home?" Chen Xu felt a little bit like he was being blamed. "I only have one room there, which can't accommodate two people."
Chen Ziqi wrinkled his nose and said, "Do you think I want to stay at your place? If I go somewhere else, Old Chen will definitely be worried. Otherwise, I can stay in a hotel. The question is, do you have money?"
"…I'll think about it."
Chen Ziqi turned around and went back to the room with his head held high.
Are today's middle school students so amazing?
Chen Xu felt a little toothache. Thinking back to when he was in the third year of junior high school, he only knew how to study. He was nothing like her, with so many things in mind.
He walked to the corridor outside the door and called his uncle to ask for his opinion.
…………
About ten minutes later, Chen Xu returned to the house and said to Chen Ziqi, "You can live in my house, but you have to agree to a few conditions."
"explain."
Chen Xu said, "You have to clean your room, wash your clothes, mop the floor, cook, wash dishes, and do all the housework. How about that?"
Chen Ziqi's eyes widened, "Then wouldn't it make me your babysitter?"
"Will you do it?"
Chen Ziqi looked at him angrily for a long time before saying, "Move things."
Chen Xu felt that he had finally saved some face, so he picked up the box and walked out.
"Wait a minute." Chen Ziqi took out a set of car keys and said, "Next."
"What is this for?"
"Nonsense, are you going to make me squeeze into the bus with so many things?" Chen Ziqi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Drive my dad's car, which is parked downstairs across the street."
…………
It was already evening when Chen Xu drove back to the downstairs of the rental house. After moving the things upstairs, he took Chen Ziqi downstairs again.
"Where are you going?"
"Dinner."
"Why don't you drive?"
"There's no parking space over there. Let's go. It's not far."
After crossing two side streets, the two came to a snack street. It was just getting dark and there were already many stalls set up.
"We had barbecue for dinner. It's too spicy." Chen Ziqi said with disgust, but his eyes were shining.
Chen Xu ignored her and walked all the way to a store at the end of the alley. The rolling shutter was half open and the words "Transfer" were posted on the wall.
A middle-aged man was sitting next to them, looking a little worried. When he saw them coming, he stood up and greeted them, "Sit down. What would you like to eat?"
There are four or five tables at the entrance of the store.
After Chen Xu sat down, he asked, "Boss, are you selling this place?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked him over and asked, "Are you interested?" As he spoke, he moved a stool over, sat opposite him, took out a cigarette and handed it to him.
Chen Xu took it and said, "Thank you."
