He Zhou instinctively felt that his mother had misunderstood something. Her face was sour, and her thin lips were pressed into a straight line. However, he did not explain. He simply zipped up his suitcase and stepped out of the room.
He Jing had already changed her shoes and was waiting for him in the living room. When she saw him dragging his suitcase out, she called out, "Third Brother."
He Zhou's tone was clearly annoyed: "No need to see me off."
It seemed as if they disliked He Jing very much.
Then he dragged his suitcase and opened the door to the He family's house. As the suitcase wheels wobbled over the threshold, He Jing stepped forward to help him lift it, smiling brightly as she said:
"Let's take Third Brother downstairs."
He Zhou insisted, "No need."
He paused, then added, "Wait for me to come back."
He Jing felt a little helpless. She couldn't go against He Zhou's wishes, so she had no choice but to withdraw her hand and quietly watch him enter the elevator and go downstairs.
He Zhou left, and He Jing felt a void in her heart. She realized that the bonds between family members were like this. Then she heard He Sui say, "Hehehe, Third Brother is gone, and Second Brother will be leaving soon too. The house is now my domain!"
He Ning, who came out of the kitchen to pour water, glanced at him indifferently: "When the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king."
He Monkey Sui didn't think there was anything wrong with being a monkey, and happily bounced around. He Chen, who had just started a new novel, passed by him and jokingly added, "After the New Year, it seems that Fourth Brother will also be leaving. It seems that I will be the ultimate overlord."
He Sui: "!!!"
He Chen is a dog!
After their commotion, He Jing's disappointment gradually faded. Just then, the doorbell rang. He Jing jumped up from the sofa and said cheerfully, "Third Brother must have forgotten something. I'll go open the door."
He Jing immediately ran to the entrance and opened the door under He Sui's jealous gaze. However, the person standing at the door was not He Zhou, but Ye Shuping.
Ye Shuping wore a willow-leaf colored cheongsam and delicate light makeup, but the powder under her eyes was a bit too heavy. It was hard not to think that she had cried before she came, but her arrogant and disdainful look made it hard to imagine that she was vulnerable.
In short, it's not appealing.
She glanced into the He family's house through the wide crack in the door, her arrogant and noble demeanor filled with utter contempt. She said coldly, "Your foster mother is here, and you don't even invite her in to sit down?"
He Jing raised an eyebrow, stepped aside, and let her in.
Ye Shuping entered the He family home and glanced at the He brothers sitting on the sofa in the living room. She thought to herself that the He family members were not very promising, but they were good-looking. If they were richer, she might not have stopped associating with the He family in the first place, and He Jing could still live in the Cheng family. She wouldn't have to look at her so disliked.
She leisurely strolled around the living room, admiring the He family's decor and furnishings, like a VIP customer looking to buy a house. He Sui didn't recognize her, but seeing her unhurried demeanor, he politely asked, "Auntie, who are you?"
Ye Shuping didn't answer, but simply asked indifferently, "Where is Zhu Yurong?"
He Sui was taken aback: "Why are you looking for my mother?"
He Chen, who knew Ye Shuping, spoke up at the opportune moment: "Mrs. Cheng, my mother has gone out. May I ask what business you have with her?"
Ye Shuping glanced at He Chen and snorted coldly: "I have something to say to your mother, but I can't tell a junior like you. Please call your mother back."
