Chapter 64

If you like her, I won’t like you anymore.

Chen Jiao said this naturally.

She really thought so. As long as Ho Ying admitted that he liked He Mingzhu, Chen Jiao would move out and find another good marriage.

When Ho Ying heard this sentence clearly, his heart stopped and then jumped up quickly, as fast as ever.

How is this possible?

Ho Ying raised his head stiffly, his eyes filled with confusion and disbelief. Then, he saw the little woman opposite him also looked at him. Tears suddenly rolled down on her white and tender face, and she pursed her lips gently. Her pear blossoms looked pitiful and a little stubborn.

Ho Ying's mind suddenly went blank.

He had seen He Mingzhu crying, and He Mingzhu cried, and he felt annoyed. Now Chen Jiao just quietly shed tears, not scolding him or complaining about him, and Ho Ying felt that he was unforgivable and made her cry. Just like when Chen Jiao was on the dock, he became confused whenever she cried. Instinctively, he would obediently whatever she asked him to do.

"I, I have always regarded her as my sister." He didn't dare to look at her anymore, Ho Ying said sideways. He didn't think about the consequences of his answer like this. He just told the truth.

"Are you really just a sister?"

Emotions became faster than rationality. Chen Jiao lowered her head and covered up the corner of her mouth that wanted to be raised, but asked softly.

Ho Ying: "Yeah."

Chen Jiao secretly looked at him and continued to ask: "You childhood sweethearts, she is beautiful and has a family background, and is infatuated with you. Why don't you like it?"

Ho Ying frowned. If he didn't like it, he just didn't like it. What does it have to do with those conditions? There are so many beautiful ladies with family backgrounds. Do he have to like the other one when he sees it?

"I don't know." He was a little irritated, "I have never had that kind of thought about Mingzhu anyway."

What about me? Have you ever had that kind of thought about me?

Chen Jiao really wanted to ask, but she wasn't so bold yet.

"I have sewn this robe for a long time. Do you want to try it?" Chen Jiao hugged the clothes and walked towards him lightly.

When she approached, Ho Ying immediately stepped back and said to her back: "Madam, this is not in accordance with the rules."

Chen Jiao looked at his back and asked in a low voice: "What are the rules?"

Facing the dark yard, Ho Ying's chest became colder and his voice became, and he seemed to remind himself: "Although you and I have left the He family now, my father has raised me. He will always be my father, and Brother Lin will always be my younger brother. I will take care of Brother Lin and respect you as my mother."

Chen Jiao pursed her lips, who wanted him to be her son?

However, Chen Jiao didn't believe in Huo Ying. He really treated her as his mother. How could he throw her original body into the lake? How could he confront her? How could he have a private meeting with her in her boudoir in the middle of the night, and live with her in the same house despite He Mingzhu's opposition?

Chen Jiao didn't believe that Ho Ying's various protection and care for her came from his respect for his adoptive father's widow.

There is some things, but Chen Jiao can feel them.

The time is too short, she can wait a little longer, and she can't expect it to be achieved overnight.

After calming down, Chen Jiao chuckled and followed Ho Ying's words: "What do you want to say after saying such a big string? If you treat me as a mother, then I will treat you as a junior. If you treat me as an elder, see that my junior's clothes are torn. Is there anything wrong with making you a robe?"

But Ho Ying didn't believe her. She just said that he liked He Mingzhu, but she didn't like him anymore.

As if knowing his thoughts, Chen Jiao walked to Ho Ying, looked at his handsome face full of complexity and said, "Mingzhu is asking me for trouble everywhere. If you like her and hate me with her, of course I will not regard you as a junior again."

Huo Ying raised his eyebrows and looked at her in surprise. What does her like mean?

Of course not, but Chen Jiao bullies him with a decent bully and stupidity. If Ho Ying is sure, he will not talk to her.

"Try it. I've ripped my hands into slitting this robe." Chen Jiao glanced at him, then shook his arms and handed them to Huo Ying.

All Ho Ying's doubts and surprises were all caused by her light glance.

The man was in front of him and the clothes were handed over, but Ho Ying could no longer refuse.

What do you reject? People treat him as a junior is not the meaning of his misunderstanding with Zhao Hu.

Ho Ying dazed to put his new robe on his body.

Chen Jiao walked around him and felt that her waist could be thinner.

When Ho Ying took off his clothes, Chen Jiao said without any nostalgia: "Okay, go to bed. Come back early in the future. I'm afraid that He Mingzhu will come to cause trouble for me again."

Ho Ying was still in a daze until the door panel behind him was closed, Ho Ying couldn't figure out what had just happened.

Sometimes he asked Brother Lin to call him uncle, and sometimes he said he liked him as his junior. Which sentence is true?

That night, Ho Ying suffered from insomnia again.

Ho Ying's lion shop started, and the news that he and Chen Jiao lived in the same house were also spread. Someone threw feces and threw rotten vegetables at the door of the house while it was dark.

The three maids were very angry. Chen Jiao was staying in the house, not seeing her, and she didn't believe it. These irrelevant spectators could continue to scold. Brother Lin didn't understand why someone wanted to bully him and his mother. Chen Jiao patiently explained to the boy's doll: "There are bad people in the He family. The bad people wrongly accused her of her affection for Uncle Huo at that time, so she drove her mother out."

Brother Lin said ignorantly: "Why did my mother be kicked out if she likes Uncle Huo?"

Chen Jiao said: "Because my mother was the daughter-in-law of the He family at that time, and Uncle Huo was the adopted son of the He family, I shouldn't like him."

Brother Lin understood a little, and asked with his head tilted, "Can you like Uncle Huo now?"

Chen Jiao laughed and asked the boy: "Does Brother Lin want her mother to like him?"

Brother Lin nodded: "I like Uncle Huo, and I think my mother likes Uncle Huo too."

Chen Jiao couldn't help laughing. The child didn't understand what it means to like Ho Ying.

Given that Ho Ying was too gentlemanly, Chen Jiao didn't do anything special. The end of the year is approaching, and every household has many happy events, and the Lion Tour is also becoming busy.

That evening, at the dinner table, Ho Ying said to Chen Jiao: "There is a member of the Da'an Town who celebrates his birthday. We will go to the next morning and come back in the evening."

Chen Jiao asked: "Where is Da'an Town?"

Ho Ying said: "Go out from the east gate of the city and walk fifteen miles."

Chen Jiao nodded.

"Uncle Huo, I want to go with you too." Brother Lin held the bowl and said expectantly. He hadn't gone out for a long time.

Ho Ying looked at Chen Jiao in embarrassment.

Chen Jiao coaxed her son: "Uncle Huo is very busy. When Uncle Huo comes back, he will ask him to take you to the lion shop to play."

Brother Lin lowered his head, unhappy.

Ho Ying didn't know what to do. He went to someone else's birthday party to dance lions, and he really didn't have time to watch the children, so he was worried about handing them over to others.

Chen Jiao handed him a look of "ignoring it".

Ho Ying couldn't do it. After dinner, Ho Ying went to the woodshed to pick six logs and nailed them to the backyard, which became a simple plum blossom pile.

Ho Ying stood on the ground, holding Brother Lin and teaching him to walk on the stake.

Brother Lin'er's boy is just playing with the lion dance or stepping on the plum blossom stake. He is happy if someone plays with him. He puts his little hand in Ho Ying's hand, and the boy is excitedly walking his legs, straddling around and laughing non-stop.

The boy couldn't walk anymore, Ho Ying carried Brother Lin to his shoulder, and then he carried Brother Lin as a lion's head and jumped onto the plum blossom stake, jumping flexibly along the six pillars. Brother Lin was so excited, and he screamed. Chen Jiao came in a voice and happened to see Ho Ying jumping to the two pillars on the edge. The man suddenly bent forward, and his upper body was almost on the same level as the ground. Brother Lin hugged his head, as if he was about to be thrown out by Ho Ying the next moment, or fell down together one big and one small!

Chen Jiao covered her mouth.

But Ho Ying hung in the air for a while, then bounced back like a bamboo, with amazing waist strength!

Chen Jiao finally breathed again.

"Mom is here to play!" Brother Lin shouted happily when he saw his mother.

Ho Ying turned around and saw Chen Jiao, he immediately jumped to the ground.

Brother Lin ran over happily, grabbed Chen Jiao's hand and pulled her to the plum blossom stake, pointed at the pillar and said, "Mom, stand up, I'll help you."

The pillar is as tall as Chen Jiao's calves, but Chen Jiao dare not.

"Mom, try it!" Brother Lin insisted that his mother be as happy as him.

Chen Jiao had no choice but to hold the hem of the skirt in one hand and ask Brother Lin to support it in the other hand, carefully putting one foot on a pillar.

The most difficult step is to step on both feet on the pillar.

Chen Jiao was scared, but Yu Guang glanced at the man behind her. Chen Jiao believed that Ho Ying would not let her fall.

With Brother Lin's strength, Chen Jiao stood tremblingly on the two pillars. The pillars were round and not as big as the palm of his palm. Chen Jiao's legs kept shaking. Brother Lin was foolishly encouraging his mother to move forward. Chen Jiao didn't move. Brother Lin hurriedly pulled forward. Chen Jiao suddenly lost her balance and fell forward.

A figure flashed, and Ho Ying rushed to Chen Jiao in time.

Chen Jiao instinctively supported his shoulder.

She raised her head in panic, and Ho Ying-jeou's handsome face was less than a palm away from her.

"It's getting late, let's go back to the room to rest." Ho Ying said with his eyes down. He couldn't see it, but he could feel the orchid-like breath coming towards him.

Chen Jiao's cheeks were hot, she jumped to the ground in a mess, and her hands left Ho Ying's shoulders.

She escaped too quickly, so she didn't notice that Ho Ying's ears were red at some point or why.

Ho Ying played with Brother Lin for a while before going to bed.

The next morning, Ho Ying went to the Lion Tour. He and Zhao Hu and four friends went to Da'an Town.

It was almost noon when a strong man in a lion dance suit suddenly knocked on the door of the house. The pomegranate came to open the door. The strong man said sweatingly: "Oh no, we accidentally bumped into a child watching the fun while dancing lions. The child was unconscious. His family called a group of villagers to surround the master and asked me to come back and get the money to redeem him!"

Pomegranate quickly went to inform Chen Jiao.

Chen Jiao was shocked. She had never seen Ho Ying's friend in Shixing, but she had seen the lion dance clothes and clothes that matched, Da'an Town and so on. In addition, she was too worried about Ho Ying, so Chen Jiao didn't doubt anything. When she learned that Ho Ying and Zhao Hu and others were just surrounded by the villagers and were not injured, Chen Jiao felt relieved, and then asked Jixiang to take care of Brother Lin. Chen Jiao took silver and followed the Shixing fellow to Da'an Town to redeem the people.

There were some mule carts outside the East City Gate that specialized in pulling people, and Chen Jiao hired one.

After walking two or three miles away, the mule cart suddenly stopped.

Pomegranate opened the door curtain in confusion, but saw the lion shop placing the dagger against the driver's waist and threatening the driver to get off the car.

The coachman was afraid of death and jumped down tremblingly.

The man from the Lion Walk turned around and looked at Chen Jiao in the car with a grin.

Only then did Chen Jiao realize that she had fallen into a trap. She tried hard to remain calm and said to the evil man who pretended to be a lion shop guy: "Are you sent by He Jinrong? How much money does he give you? As long as you let me go, I will give you twice."

The man slowly stood up, took out a scarf from his arms, looked at Chen Jiao and said, "You must be trustworthy, little lady, offended me."

Chen Jiao's face turned pale, and the pomegranate rushed out bravely, but was slapped in the face by the man, and he was slapped directly.
