He Jing felt genuinely sorry for him: "Big brother, I'm not hungry."
He Sui: "Big brother, I'm not... hiccup... hungry either."
He Yuan: "..."
I can tell you're not very hungry.
Finally, quite surprisingly, He Yuan didn't suspect He Sui of stealing food at all; he only felt that he understood He Jing a little better.
Just as He Jing finished explaining the whole story to Yan Hanxi, He Yuan happened to look out from the kitchen. From his angle, He Jing and Yan Hanxi didn't seem to be talking, but rather kissing. So he subconsciously gripped the knife in his hand and frowned deeply.
Agreeing to date is one thing, but if your "brother-in-law," who's barely here, acts recklessly right under your nose, that's a different story.
Yan Hanxi suddenly felt a chill down his back.
He unexpectedly met He Yuan's gaze, nervously cleared his throat, and straightened his back.
He Jing noticed He Yuan's gaze, turned her head and smiled, saying, "Big brother, let me help you out."
"No need." He Yuan refused He Jing indifferently, his gaze fixed intently on Yan Hanxi. "Aren't peanuts easier to peel if they're not washed?"
"It's hard to peel."
"Then wash it and peel it again."
"OK."
Yan Hanxi is incredibly obedient.
Although he didn't know why his brother-in-law suddenly became hostile towards him, he figured he should just listen to him!
He Jing inexplicably sensed something unusual: "I'll assist you!"
"No."
This time, Yan Hanxi firmly refused.
So Yan Hanxi was left in the kitchen to wash and shell peanuts, leaving He Jing alone in the living room.
With nothing to do, He Jing wanted to help He Yuan clean the house, but found that the whole house was so clean that she didn't know where to start, it was spotless.
It seems He Yuan knew she couldn't stay idle, so he specially had someone clean the house in advance.
Just then, He Jing's phone rang. She took it out and saw that although the number didn't have a contact's name on it, He Jing knew the number all too well—it was Cheng Yue.
Hesitating for half a second, He Jing pressed the answer button: "Hello?"
Cheng Yue seemed relieved and then replied, "Hello, Jingjing, it's me, it's Dad."
After not listening for a while, Cheng Yue's voice sounded older and more tired than before.
He Jing didn't have much affection for Cheng Yue, after all, she was sent away as soon as she transmigrated. However, she couldn't stand the way this body reacted to Cheng Yue, and felt extremely uncomfortable.
This made He Jing frown and ask, "Is something the matter?"
Cheng Yue said in a deep voice, "I've heard about your competition with Xiaoyi at Ziyun House. You did a great job, Jingjing."
He Jing said calmly, "I thought Mr. Cheng was calling to seek justice for his daughter."
"Jingjing, you've misunderstood. Dad... Uncle definitely didn't mean that."
Although he was also disappointed by Cheng Yi's defeat, he knew that business talent was something that was predetermined and could not be forced.
He taught Cheng Yi personally for a period of time and realized that Cheng Yi had no business talent whatsoever.
On the contrary, it was He Jing...
He watched the live replay, and it was truly excellent.
He Jing: "Oh."
She thought he was going to blame her again, just like last time when Cheng Yi didn't do well on her exam, he called to scold her.
"So what exactly does Mr. Cheng want?"
"Jingjing, I just want to talk to you."
Perhaps it was He Jing's somewhat calm attitude that left Cheng Yue feeling bewildered.
Cheng Yue said, "There are some things I can't say to you, and I don't know who else to say them to."
He suddenly realized that ever since He Jing and Cheng Yi switched places, he had become all alone.
