He Chen, who was closest to the door, immediately stood up from the sofa and said, "I'll go, let me see."
He Sui didn't even go back to his room; he just stood at the door, waiting to see who would bother him at this hour.
However, He Chen stood at the door for a long time without reacting, and even lost his voice.
He Sui: "Hmm? Sixth Brother, invite them in."
He Chen turned half his body to make way for him and saw that the chubby Qian Lizhen, the tall and thin Zhu Qiang, Zhu Qian who looked like she had been forced to come, and Zhu Rui whose lips were so pouty they could hang soy sauce bottles on them had all arrived, and all four of them were carrying gift boxes full of gifts.
Upon seeing them, Qian Lizhen greeted them with great enthusiasm, as if she were seeing her long-lost sons. "You're all here! The eldest son is back too! Perfect timing! Your aunt has brought lots of nice things to see you."
She walked into the house as she spoke.
Zhu Qiang said to Zhu Qian and Zhu Rui, "Say hello."
Zhu Qian and Zhu Rui: "Hello, Sixth Cousin."
He Chen's usually gentle and pleasant expression immediately turned serene.
The pleasant atmosphere in the living room instantly turned tense.
He Yuan's expression was subtle.
He Yi pursed his thin lips.
As soon as Qian Lizhen entered the living room, she looked around for He Jing. After scanning the area for a while without finding her, she said, "Hey, where's Jingjing? I can't see her. I bought her a lot of things, and they were expensive."
He Sui immediately took two steps forward and said fiercely, "Didn't we draw a line? What are you doing here?"
Qian Lizhen gave him a reproachful look: "Fourth brother, what are you saying? Family members are still connected even if the bones are broken. Look, this is the game console I bought for you. Try it and see if it works."
He Sui's expression changed upon seeing this, and he took a step back: "I don't want to."
Standing behind Zhu Qiang, Zhu Rui interjected with dissatisfaction, "That's my favorite game console."
He Sui curled his lip and said disdainfully, "I don't care."
Qian Lizhen immediately changed the subject and tried to please He Ning again.
She painstakingly pulled an expensive box from a gift box and handed it to He Ning: "Second son, you're the best at studying, this learning machine is for you."
He Ning indifferently lifted his eyelids to look at her, and politely said, "Thank you."
But he showed no intention of accepting it.
These two brothers were both incredibly difficult to deal with, leaving Qian Lizhen completely flustered and unsure of what to do next.
He Zhou, who had come out of the kitchen after hearing the commotion outside, leaned against the kitchen doorway and said sarcastically, "We brothers are all good-for-nothings, how could we be worthy of such a good learning machine? I think you should take it back and give it to your cousin."
Qian Lizhen was embarrassed and ashamed, and looked to Zhu Qiang for help. Zhu Qiang said, "We were wrong about what happened in the past. We are all family. You don't need to be so polite to your uncle. Let bygones be bygones. Your uncle and aunt will take good care of you from now on."
He Zhou laughed angrily. They had suffered so much humiliation and injustice, and all they got in return was, "What's past is past"?
On what grounds?
How can the perpetrators be so at ease?
Why should they be kind and easily bullied?
If it weren't for He Jing, this humiliation would have gone on for who knows how long.
He Yi said, "Aunt, we are very happy that you could come, but if it's for business purposes, we are afraid we can't help you."
Only He Jing can resolve this matter.
Since He Jing has already taken action, there's no reason for her to let them off the hook.
With her purpose exposed, Qian Lizhen hurriedly said, "We're all family, we can talk things over. Why are you being so ruthless?"
He Chen delivered a gentle but sharp retort: "Was it Auntie's words that were so harsh, or were our actions so harsh?"
Qian Lizhen's face turned pale and then red in an instant: "I was too harsh, I spoke without thinking, I was wrong, you are all my good nephews."
