Chapter 136 Guiding Childhood Friends
Chu Yao lowered her head and looked at the broken flowerpot on the ground.
She was a little panicked at first, worried that she couldn't afford the compensation.
But then I suddenly remembered what Qin Jiahuai said... What seemed like a huge deal to her might be a trivial matter to others.
As long as she speaks out frankly, maybe she is just overthinking everything.
Even if others are angry, she can speak out in time and think of ways to remedy the situation immediately.
There's no point being nervous and afraid over there.
Chu Yao ignored Xu Qingyun and left the terrace.
Xu Qingyun was stunned for a moment, then followed him out and whispered, "Why are you so irresponsible? You broke someone else's things and you're just going to ignore them? You're not trying to accuse me of knocking them over, are you?"
Chu Yao completely ignored her and went straight to the kitchen to tell Jiang Yuman, "Auntie, I'm sorry. I accidentally knocked over the pot of peony-like succulents, and two leaves fell off."
Jiang Yuman didn't take it seriously and turned around to give her a soothing smile: "It's okay, I have plenty of flower pots. One of the pleasures of raising succulents is to change the pots frequently. The leaves of that one grow very fast, it will grow in a few days."
Then he shouted into the room: "Xiao Huai, go get a new flower pot from the balcony cabinet."
Qin Jiahuai had already completed the appointment on the court's official website.
He immediately came out of the room and went to get a new flowerpot.
Xu Qingyun looked at Chu Yao in disbelief.
She had attacked Chu Yao many times before.
Previously, when she was undergoing a physical examination at the hospital, she had induced others to mock her for her dirty and old underwear, and in the school locker room, she had been mocked for having no parents... Her reaction at the time was one of inferiority and helplessness, similar to the reaction of the poor kids she usually bullied.
This time she actually dared to go directly to the adults to explain?
Who gave her the confidence?
Chu Yao originally wanted to go to the terrace and help Qin Jiahuai to clean the pot of succulents.
But when he caught a glimpse of Xu Qingyun's gloomy eyes, he suddenly realized that ignoring her was too easy for her.
She walked back to the kitchen, raised her reddened hand, and asked Jiang Yuman, "Auntie, do you have any burn ointment?"
"Yes." Jiang Yuman turned around and noticed that her hand was red. "How did you get burned? You didn't bring anything hot."
Chu Yao glanced at Xu Qingyun and said, "When Xu Qingyun was heating the soup just now, I didn't know she was standing behind me and was pressed close to me. I got burned, and when I raised my hand, I accidentally knocked over the meat."
Xu Qingyun was even more surprised... She actually went around in circles to complain?
Jiang Yuman understood instantly.
Holding hot soup and standing closely behind someone, isn't it obvious that he is deliberately burning them?
This is the complete process of the matter.
But why did Xu Qingyun do this?
How could the two children, who were not in the same class, have such a big conflict, even resorting to scalding someone with boiling soup? It was too vicious.
After the people left, she turned around and asked her son about it.
Jiang Yuman didn't say anything for the time being, and quickly said to Chu Yao: "Go and rinse it with cold water, otherwise blisters will form in a while."
After saying that, he called out to Qin Jiahuai, "Xiaohuai, go get the burn ointment for Yaoyao."
Chu Yao glanced at Xu Qingyun warningly and went to the bathroom to flush the toilet.
Xu Qingyun didn't want to pay attention to her now. She was afraid that Jiang Yuman would overthink it, so she quickly went to explain to her: "Auntie, I didn't mean it. I didn't know she would suddenly turn around..."
Jiang Yuman glanced at her with a faint smile: "It's okay, you didn't burn me, you don't have to apologize to me."
The implication was that she should apologize to Chu Yao.
Xu Qingyun was very reluctant and opened her mouth to speak, but she saw her mother frowning at her, signaling her with her eyes not to do anything more.
What she did was too obvious and childish in the eyes of adults.
The more you quibble, the more loopholes you find.
Xu Qingyun gritted her teeth and had to go to the bathroom to apologize to Chu Yao.
-
In the bathroom, Chu Yao was washing the scalded area with cold water.
Qin Jiahuai brought the burn ointment.
He also understood what happened just now.
He stood beside Chu Yao and said calmly: "You finally know how to seek justice for yourself."
There seemed to be some relief in his words.
Chu Yao lowered her head and said nothing, staring at her hands.
She vaguely discovered that he seemed to be guiding her to learn many things and slowly influencing her attitude towards life.
She was originally very cautious and afraid of making mistakes and being disliked by others.
But in fact, many things are not as serious as she thinks.
Chu Yao came to her senses and felt that the burn on her hand was not so serious anymore, so she raised her hand to turn off the faucet.
Qin Jiahuai's hand suddenly reached out, held her hand, and pressed it under the water again.
"Let it soak for a while longer, at least fifteen minutes."
Outside the door.
Xu Qingyun, who came over to apologize, happened to see this scene.
He actually held her hand and poured water on her!
Xu Qingyun clenched his fists tightly.
Deliberately scalding Chu Yao was the thing she regretted most today!
Not only did it not make Chu Yao panic, but it actually promoted their contact!
A thought suddenly occurred to her: if she was the one who got burned...
But before she had time to think about it, the door suddenly opened.
Qin Mingzhang and Xu Qingyun's father Xu Zhaotang came back chatting and laughing.
The ingredients were almost ready, so we all went to the terrace together.
Xu Qingyun never apologized to Chu Yao in the end, and of course Chu Yao didn't care about her either.
After everyone sat down, Jiang Yuman briefly introduced both parties.
Xu Zhaotang looked at Chu Yao's face and was suddenly stunned.
My daughter said at home every day that Qin Jiahuai was nice to Chu Yao because she looked like her.
He always thought his daughter was overthinking it.
But now I look at it, it does look a bit similar... The most similar thing is the face shape and the high nose.
But there is a big difference between the two people's eyes.
Chu Yao has big, round almond-shaped eyes, which give off a sweet and pure feeling, and are quite lively.
His daughter's eyes are long and narrow, with the corners of her eyes pointing downwards, giving her a sense of fragility and innocence.
Emotionally, Xu Zhaotang would definitely say that his daughter is more beautiful.
But as a plastic surgeon who studies human appearance, Xu Zhaotang had to rationally admit that Chu Yao's facial features were better proportioned and more pleasing to the eye.
Maybe Qin Jiahuai favors Chu Yao because she is prettier?
Tsk, what an ignorant little boy.
This slight difference in appearance cannot be compared with the girl's family background.
After dinner, he would talk to Jiang Yuman and his wife.
Ask the couple to interfere in their son's friendships and prevent him from being deceived by girls with bad intentions.
The meal went on normally, and no one made a fuss.
After dinner, Jiang Yuman asked Chu Yao to take Sichuan Fritillaria porridge to the hospital for her grandmother, and Qin Jiahuai also went with her.
Xu Qingyun had no reason to go with Chu Yao to see Grandma, but she couldn't stay here and disturb the adults' chat, so she had to go home alone.
After the children left, Xu Zhaotang and Qin Mingzhang were still sitting on the terrace.
The barbecue grill on the table has been removed and replaced with a set of bone china teacups.
Xu Zhaotang asked directly: "Is your Xiaohuai in a premature love relationship?"
