Chapter 23
"Who is Susu talking to on the phone?" Xu Jinhua came out of the kitchen, holding a plate of sliced peaches. He looked around and asked, "Where's Xiaorong? Where did she go again?"
"She said a classmate came to see her and brought her some fried chicken, so she didn't eat the dumplings for now."
Rong Susu lied with her eyes open, picked up a piece of peach with a fork, took a bite and tasted the juice. The peaches in this season are the sweetest.
"This kid just said he wanted to eat dumplings with zucchini and eggs. Your dad even went out to buy zucchini for him."
Xu Jinhua shook his head and sighed. After working for so long, people didn't want to eat anymore. What was so delicious about this fried chicken? It was just junk food.
Rong Susu smiled secretly. If Cheng Huaian didn't take the girl away tonight, she would have to come back frequently recently, otherwise He Shurong would really stay in her house and not leave.
In fact, she suspected that He Shurong and Cheng Huaian had fallen out and the card in her hand was suspended. Otherwise, with the personality of the young lady, she would always go to Internet celebrity high-end restaurants, so how could she come back to Xiaotai Lane to eat and drink for free.
But what she didn't understand was that Cheng Huaian, who had a sister complex, had never said a harsh word to He Shurong, so why would he block her card?
The steaming dumplings were out of the pot. Rong Susu had just washed her hands and hadn't even sat down when a plate of dumplings was stuffed into her hands.
"Susu, please go and bring some dumplings to Xiaorong and the others. Don't just let them eat those that have no nutrition." Xu Jinhua instructed.
Rong Susu...
What does He Shurong's fainting from hunger have to do with her family? Why do her parents care about her so much?
However, she was too lazy to argue with her parents about such things, so she took the dumplings and went out obediently. She ate slowly while walking out of the house. When she arrived at the door of Cheng's house, only two-thirds of the dumplings were left.
Then I opened the car door and got in, listening to music and eating for a while. Finally, I was satisfied when there were only three dumplings left.
It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting. She was actually looking forward to He Shurong's expression when she saw these dumplings.
She didn't ring the doorbell, but banged on the door, calling He Shurong's name, but when she saw who opened the door, she was stunned for a moment.
"Cheng, Uncle Cheng, you're back." Rong Susu laughed twice. It was so embarrassing. How could she meet her ex-father-in-law here?
In the past few years, Rong Susu has been calling him dad sweetly, and Cheng Xiangze was used to it. But suddenly she changed her name to Uncle Cheng. He hadn't come to terms with it yet, and it took him a long time to force a smile.
"It's Susu. You, Auntie and I came to see Xiaorong. Come in and sit for a while."
No, no.
Rong Susu quickly handed over the dumplings, "Shurong said she wanted to eat dumplings stuffed with zucchini and eggs, so my parents made them specially for her."
It's just that she had secretly eaten too much just now, so the plate is a little empty now, which looks a bit uncouth.
"Xiao Rong said she's trying to lose weight recently and doesn't allow for too much. I didn't know you and Aunt He were coming, so I'll go get two more plates."
"No need, Susu, this is enough. Xiaorong just ate a lot of snacks. Your aunt and I have already eaten. We will go to your house later. It's been a while since we last saw your parents."
Cheng Xiangze took the plate calmly and told Rong Susu to stop working and go back to have dinner.
Although Cheng Huaian and Rong Susu are divorced, Cheng Xiangze still treats Rong Susu as his own daughter and hopes she is well.
Haha, of course Susu didn’t want to come again, so she ran back home in a hurry.
"Was that Susu just now?" Cheng Xiangze closed the door. He Shengyun heard the voice and came out, but Rong Susu had already left. She looked at the plate in her husband's hand strangely, "Was this sent by Susu?"
There are only three dumplings on the huge plate. Is it for them to taste the saltiness?
"They sent me a full plate, but I didn't hold it firmly and it spilled. Susu even helped me clean it up." Cheng Xiangze explained. He could see through the little thoughts of these children at a glance. Who hasn't been impulsive when young?
"Huaian called just now and asked me how Xiaorong is doing now." He Shengyun said with a sigh.
The stepson said that he had stopped his daughter's credit card, so she could only subsidize her privately, but she didn't dare to give too much, for fear that her daughter would spend the money lavishly. She could only ask the two elders of the Rong family to take care of her and not let her go hungry.
"I know Huai'an. He has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He's just being soft-hearted."
Cheng Xiangze smiled and said that he actually didn't care whether He Shurong could graduate or not. Anyway, with Cheng Huaian around, He Shurong didn't have any pressure to make money.
I hope so. He Shengyun was helpless. She couldn't take care of one or two of them, so she just let them be.
When Cheng Huaian arrived, Rong Susu was about to leave. When she saw him, she angrily said, "Please move aside. If you rub against me again, I won't take care of you!"
Still holding a grudge, Cheng Huaian was speechless. It seemed that he suffered a loss last time, and he hadn't said anything yet. He didn't know where Rong Susu got so much resentment from.
An hour has passed, and this guy is still late. If he thinks he is the best actor making the final appearance, shouldn't he roll out the red carpet for him and hire a bunch of fans to cheer him on?
"I've already smashed down your door, but you came too late to see the fun."
Rong Susu insisted that she did break the door, but she met her ex-father-in-law. Respecting the elderly and loving the young are traditional virtues. Since there were elderly people at home, her next action could not be carried out.
Well, Cheng Huaian actually nodded, which meant he agreed. Rong Susu was a man of his words, and he knew it very well.
She would indeed arrive at his doorstep on time, but it was hard to say how badly she would damage the house.
At least now it seems that the door of his house is still intact, maybe the force of the smash was not too great.
"Brother, you're here?" Before the two of them finished their conversation, He Shurong's voice came.
Following the sound, Cheng Huaian was no less shocked than Rong Su and Xiao Su just now. What kind of aesthetic is this? It's more like judging ugliness, right?
"Brother, I knew you wouldn't ignore me." He Shurong automatically ignored Cheng Huaian's frown and happily came over to hold his arm.
Life without money is really hard. He Shengyun just told her to find an opportunity to apologize to Cheng Huaian. They are not blood-related siblings, so they should stop making trouble and become estranged.
"Your brother has been good enough to you. Don't cause trouble every day. When he gets annoyed with you, I wonder where you will cry." He Shengyun persuaded earnestly.
Her daughter looks smart, but is actually heartless and doesn't understand the ways of the world. She is so worried that she can't sleep.
These words really touched He Shurong's sore spot, and this was exactly what she was worried about.
Rong Haoyu and Rong Susu are siblings whose blood is thicker than water. No matter how much they quarrel or make a fuss, they both have the surname Rong and are family.
But she and Cheng Huaian are different. Although they are brother and sister, they are not related by blood, so they will never have an inseparable connection like Rong Susu and Rong Haoyu.
When He Shurong saw Cheng Huaian coming from afar just now, she was surprised and happy. She quickly ran over and acted coquettishly, wanting to put the last incident behind her.
"Hurry up and get your sister out of here, otherwise you'll really treat my house as a canteen." Rong Susu ordered angrily. The canteen paid for the meals, but He Shurong was eating and drinking for free.
"Brother, Sister Su Su is here too, hurry up and tell her to let me participate in the show."
He Shurong shook Cheng Huaian's arm. From childhood to adulthood, she knew best how to act well to please her brother.
This person is really thicker than tree bark, jumping like a wild duck, and really thinks of herself as a swan princess. Rong Susu snorted coldly, in return, He Shurong glared at her.
What was she humming? Did she really think she couldn't tell she was mocking her?
"Brother." He Shurong was unwilling and pulled her backers to support her. This trick had always worked in the past, but unexpectedly it didn't work this time.
Cheng Huaian pulled his arm away and replied calmly, "Let's talk about it after you graduate successfully."
She is only a junior now. Cheng Huaian means that she should forget about it this time. Will she prepare for the second season of the show after graduation?
Rong Susu burst out laughing. It was the first time she saw He Shurong's request being rejected by Cheng Huaian. It was really strange.
"Fuck, Rong Susu, what are you laughing at?" He Shurong was so angry at her repeated provocations that she no longer paid attention to her attitude when speaking.
Oh, her true colors are finally revealed. She said, how could this little gangster He Shurong become well-behaved? She can't even pretend for three minutes.
"Shurong, what are you talking about!" Cheng Huaian was the first to express his dissatisfaction.
They really indulged He Shurong too much. She didn't speak or act seriously at all, and she used dirty words all the time.
Seeing Cheng Huaian's unhappy expression, He Shurong's arrogance also subsided a little. She complained in her heart, it's nothing, doesn't everyone talk like this?
"Apologize to her!"
After being stunned for a long time, He Shurong finally realized that the "she" Cheng Huaian was referring to was Rong Susu. He actually asked her to apologize to the person she hated the most just because she said "fuck". This was intolerable.
"I didn't really fuck her, why should I apologize!" When has He Shurong ever lowered her head to Rong Susu? Never!
But before he could finish his words, he felt a sudden pain on the right side of his face.
Rong Susu!!!
Cheng Huaian actually hit a woman, oh no, he actually hit his most beloved sister!
The impact of this scene was too great. Rong Susu believed that she had seen many big scenes, but she was still a thousand points surprised.
Cheng Huaian stared at He Shurong coldly. Even though her face was flushed with shame and anger, and her eyes were like a ball of fire, he remained unmoved.
Fuck, this word was too stimulating to him. Cheng Huaian couldn't tolerate it. No one except him could use this word on Rong Susu.
"You have been divorced for so long, how do you know if she has been fucked by anyone else?" He Shurong cried.
No one had ever dared to touch her since she was a child. She never expected that the first time she was beaten was by her most admired brother, just because she said a dirty word to her ex-sister-in-law.
The sky was dark and it was bright late in the summer. The street lights were not on yet. Rong Susu could not see Cheng Huaian's expression clearly, but he was angry, very angry.
He suddenly grabbed her wrist, and the veins on the back of her hand bulged. Rong Susu felt pain, but she held back and didn't scream.
Because this kind of physical contact means that Cheng Huaian is on her side, which is completely opposite to He Shurong, which is exactly what she wants.
It's not like they hadn't used such foul language before when they were arguing, but it was only between husband and wife, and only in specific circumstances.
"I asked you to apologize to her." Cheng Huaian's face was gloomy and terrifying, like the darkness that could swallow everything.
The two sides are at a stalemate.
"Huaian, why are you here?" Cheng Xiangze heard the voice, but saw that the three of them were outside. Why did the atmosphere seem so strange and depressing?
When Rong Susu heard He Shurong insulting her like that just now, she was not without anger. She also wanted to slap her, but someone got there first, so she saved her hand from getting hurt.
"If you really want to fuck, I can introduce you to some good ones." Rong Susu shrugged and made a "fuck you" gesture to He Shurong.
Then, ignoring the mess in front of him, he pulled his wrist free with force, got into the car and left.
The moment she passed by Cheng Huaian, their eyes met, and suddenly an inexplicable emotion struck her heart.
It’s not because of myself, but because of the man who is always the center of attention wherever he goes. He feels an indescribable sadness and loneliness.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that Cheng Huaian was not so hateful.
Although hitting women is wrong, if he doesn't treat He Shurong as a human being, at least Cheng Huaian still knows how to respect women. She found a reasonable explanation for her sensitivity.
