Chapter 637: The Same Trick Again
Huo Juncheng's bloodthirsty gaze fell on Chen Jie, and the meaning emanating from his eyes seemed to say: I already know all your motives!
This has escalated into a war of IQ.
Lin Yilan is stupid, but that doesn’t mean Huo Juncheng is stupid.
Chen Jie naturally understood Huo Juncheng's signal. He pretended to be scared and burst into tears. His little hands tugged at the corner of Lin Yilan's clothes, "Mommy... I'm scared of Daddy. Daddy is so fierce."
Lin Yilan glanced at Huo Juncheng, who immediately extended his hand and assured her, "Don't worry, I'm not that bad. I did have some opinions about Chen Jie a while ago, thinking it was unlikely that such a coincidence would happen, but now I don't think so anymore. After getting to know him, I think Chen Jie is pretty good."
"Have you really figured it out?" She looked at Huo Juncheng doubtfully, and let Huo Juncheng push her away: "Of course." He put his hands on Lin Yilan's shoulders: "Wife, the most important thing for you right now is not others, but yourself. You are pregnant now, you must protect our two children well, do you hear me?"
"Hmm. Then Chen Jie..." Lin Yilan glanced back worriedly, then let Huo Juncheng block her view: "I already said I'm here."
Chen Jie had a feeling that something was wrong and cried even harder.
Doctor Chen also stepped forward and said, "It's very difficult to treat a pregnant woman with a fever. It could very well harm the fetus." After hearing what Doctor Chen said, Lin Yilan didn't dare to stay any longer. She told Chen Jie to be a good boy and went back upstairs.
In the room on the first floor, only Chen Jie, Dr. Chen, Huo Juncheng and Sister Xiu were left.
The atmosphere also became weird.
Sister Xiu was still sighing, "He was fine this morning, how come he has such a high fever now?" Could it be that she hadn't dressed the child well enough? She glanced at the people around her. The villa had 24-hour air conditioning, so wearing shorts and a vest was fine... It could only be said that Chen Jie's physical condition was too poor.
Chen Jie coughed twice, then lay obediently on the bed without moving.
Huo Juncheng pretended to be concerned and sat down by the bed, asking Doctor Chen and Sister Xiu to leave first while he spoke to Chen Jie. After what happened before, Sister Xiu was afraid Huo Juncheng would hit Chen Jie again, but she had been in the Huo family for so long that she knew the young master was not that kind of person, so she simply put aside her doubts and walked out.
He and Chen Jie were the only ones left in the room. He gradually tightened his grip on Chen Jie's hand, his eyes cold and icy. "Who are you? Why did you use such tricks to come to our house? What do you want to get? Huh?"
"Dad, you hurt me." Chen Jie's face was pale. He looked not in good condition and very weak.
Huo Juncheng thought he was pretending everything, and when he heard him call him dad, he became even more furious: "Who are you calling dad? You must never call me dad! I'm not your dad!"
It is still unknown which of them is older.
He felt that something was wrong with the little boy from the moment they met. Time is indeed a good thing and can give you all the answers. Since he came to this family, nothing seems to have changed, but he always feels that something is strange.
He would eavesdrop on his conversations with others!
"Chen Jie, I advise you to tell the truth. If I catch you, your fate will be different from what you have now."
How could Chen Jie admit it in front of him? Tears hung in his eyes and he kept crying, "Dad, I really don't know what you are talking about. I am Chen Jie..." His voice was so loud that it disturbed Sister Xiu and Doctor Chen outside the door.
Doctor Chen and Sister Xiu looked at each other and both felt that the atmosphere was very strange.
"This..." What's going on? Doctor Chen was too embarrassed to ask, after all, this was Huo Juncheng's own family matter.
Sister Xiu couldn't even say Huo Juncheng had abused the child, nor could she ruin the Young Master's reputation: "It's okay, I'll go in and take a look. Maybe Chen Jie is feeling a bit cold and he's angry because of what the Young Master said to him."
As she spoke, she walked towards the door, gently turned the door lock with her hand, and walked in.
Chen Jie found a good opportunity, and when Sister Xiu was about to walk in, he immediately jumped up from the bed, and used Huo Juncheng's big hand to create an illusion for himself. He hit himself hard in the face.
From the perspective of Sister Xiu and Dr. Chen, it looked like Huo Juncheng was beating him.
I’ve been tricked again!
Huo Juncheng immediately withdrew his hand: "Chen Jie! How many times are you going to use the same trick again?"
Chen Jie's face was red from the high fever. He fell heavily to the ground and looked at Sister Xiu with weak eyes: "Grandma Xiu, Dad didn't hit me. It's all Chen Jie's fault."
The soft and sticky voice almost melted Sister Xiu's heart.
Xiujie saw it with her own eyes, and now she heard the child say it. No woman could accept it. She stepped forward and hugged Chen Jie, carefully moving him to the bed: "It's okay, Xiujie is here, I will take care of anything for you!"
It is obvious that what he said means that he does not trust Huo Juncheng.
Huo Juncheng's eyes were frighteningly sinister, and he angrily said word by word: "Get out!"
Sister Xiu didn't dare to disobey Huo Juncheng. After leaving, she immediately went upstairs and told Lin Yilan what had just happened. Huo Juncheng wanted to close the door, but was stopped by Doctor Chen. He looked at Huo Juncheng in confusion: "What's wrong with you recently? Why are you so angry? This is a child!"
"Child?" Huo Juncheng sneered.
yes.
He is a child! This is the first impression he gives to others, but he is the only one in the family who knows whether he is a child or not.
He asked back, "Would a child eavesdrop on other people's conversations? Would he plot against me?" Who was he? He was Huo Juncheng! He was arguably the top leader of Haicheng, and now he was being manipulated by a child.
It’s ridiculous to think about it.
After Lin Yilan came down, she saw Chen Jie's pitiful appearance and pushed Huo Juncheng away fiercely: "Huo Juncheng, are you crazy? Why can't you be more tolerant of children?"
Isn't he more?
Huo Juncheng didn't explain. His eyes, like ice that had been frozen for thousands of years, pulled Lin Yilan upwards domineeringly. Lin Yilan didn't understand what he was doing and fiercely pushed him away. "Huo Juncheng, what are you doing?"
"I'll show you a secret! I've installed surveillance cameras everywhere in the villa while you weren't paying attention! Including Chen Jie's room!" Huo Juncheng sneered and turned to look at Chen Jie, who was lying on the bed pretentiously. "You didn't expect it, did you? Aren't you curious about how Chen Jie got a fever? Come on, I'll show you!"
He originally didn't want to confront Lin Yilan at this critical juncture, but he had been brought here by Chen Jie. If Huo Juncheng didn't defend himself, he was afraid that others would misunderstand him.
At this moment, Chen Jie suddenly stumbled down from the bed and knelt on the ground: "Mommy, forgive me, I didn't mean to turn up the air conditioner to make myself catch a cold, I just wanted you to stay with me more..."
