"Eh eh."
He Sui called out twice, genuinely puzzled.
She eagerly ran over, actually gave a gift, and then left.
He thought she was trying to compete with He Jing for favor with He's mother, since He Jing had just arrived at the He family home and He's mother had been away on business for so many days, so their relationship wasn't very stable.
He Sui glanced into the gift bag; the expensive packaging box contained something, and it felt quite heavy.
Cheng Yi arrived downstairs, and the driver opened the door for her. She bent down and crawled inside, her face no longer showing any sadness.
She glanced at the window of the He family's building on the corresponding floor, and smiled slowly and deliberately.
Upon hearing that He's mother was back, her first thought was to go and sow discord between He's mother and He Jing, making her dislike He Jing. However, her girlfriends said that this would backfire. No matter how estranged He's mother and He Jing were, they were still mother and daughter. If she caused He Jing to completely fall out with He's mother, forcing her to choose between them, He's mother would ultimately choose He Jing.
Therefore, she had to adopt a conciliatory approach, making He's mother realize her goodness and still treat her as her own daughter from the bottom of her heart, while also making He's mother feel guilty all the time. Only when the guilt outweighed He's mother's love for He Jing could she win against He Jing.
Back then, no matter what happened between her and He Jing, He's mother would blindly side with her.
And He Yuan and the others...
Oh.
"Third Brother, Xiaoyi came all the way here to deliver a gift, without even saying hello to Mom. What does that mean?"
He Sui hesitated to go inside with the gift. It was such a large, expensive, and hot gift; if he said it was from someone else, his mother would definitely not believe him.
If it's said to be a gift from Cheng Yi, then Mother He will definitely miss her daughter even more.
He Sui secretly didn't want his mother to keep thinking about Cheng Yi, and he wanted her to treat He Jing better.
He Zhou remained expressionless and said calmly, "It means you don't want to come in and cause us trouble."
If she enters the house, it will definitely alert He Jing inside, and then the brothers will be caught in a dilemma again.
Moreover, with He's mother present, any problems that arise would be even more difficult to handle.
He Sui understood. He rubbed his nose and thought to himself: Cheng Yi has finally become sensible for once and doesn't want to compete with He Jing for favor.
They could treat Cheng Yi like a younger sister, but blood ties were undeniable. If she insisted on going against He Jing, they would have no choice but to apologize to her.
At this moment, He Jing, who had been inside the room at some point, came out from behind the two of them and abruptly asked, "Third Brother, Fourth Brother, what are you doing standing at the door?"
He Sui reacted instinctively, his whole body trembling and he shuddered.
He turned around and shouted, "He Jing, why do you walk so quietly!"
He Jing chuckled and said, "I was wearing slippers, and my footsteps were so obvious. It was clearly you guys who were standing there in a daze."
After speaking, she lowered her gaze and landed on the gift bag that He Sui was carrying, blinking knowingly.
He Jing asked, "Cheng Yi has come?"
He Sui quickly hid the gift bag behind his back, shouting in a clear attempt to cover it up, "There's nothing there!"
Even He Zhou finds this acting pathetic.
He said coolly, "The person is already gone. Fourth brother, give the things to her and let her handle them."
He Suixin threw the gift into He Jing's arms with a sigh of relief. He said in a gloating tone, "This is a gift from Xiaoyi to Mom. Let's see what you do now. If you want to lie to Mom, you'll have to pay at least ten packs of beef balls to keep quiet."
Without thinking, He Jing shouted towards the kitchen, "Mom!"
