They were just under Xing Huo's nose, doing whatever they wanted, forcing Qiao Zhishu to nod.
She is like a small grass sprouting from the cracks. Although it is tough, its roots are rooted in the sharp rocks.
It is destined that there will be hardships along the way from growth to emergence.
She said she didn't want to, but no one respected her.
Xing Huo couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and walked back into the house.
Chen Ying saw this and hurriedly followed him, "Why are you leaving?"
"It's cold outside, why don't you stand and blow some air?"
Chen Ying glanced at his face, which was colder than the night wind tonight, "Brother Huo, are you unhappy?"
She turned her head and glared at Qiao Zhishu.
Mother Qiao was startled and quickly grabbed her daughter's arm.
"Qiao Qiao, what are you doing? The lady is kind enough to let you serve..." Looking at Xing Huo's look, it may be because Chen Ying shouldn't force others to make things difficult.
Mother Qiao deliberately raised her voice. "She is usually so kind to you. She invites you to eat together from time to time and gives you things. Don't be willful!"
Qiao Zhishu raised her eyes. She really didn't mind throwing dirty water on her daughter for Chen Ying.
"Mom, am I willful?"
When Xing Huo heard the question, there was a hint of sadness that was not easily noticeable. His back straightened, but his steps did not stop.
"Okay, okay, don't lose your temper and let's go." Qiao's mother grabbed her and dragged her towards the main building.
After entering the house, Chen Ying was very enthusiastic towards Qiao Zhishu and arranged a seat for her during the meal.
Mother Qiao took out all the bowls and chopsticks, came to Qiao Zhishu's side, and arranged a pair of bowls and chopsticks neatly for her.
How can Qiao Zhishu be able to eat it?
She clenched her hands and listened to the laughter on the table, which was very harsh.
"Will the engagement party be held next month? Is it too hasty?" Mrs. Chen had no preparations.
When Chen Ying heard this, she looked at her displeased. In her opinion, as long as she could marry Xing Huo, it didn't matter how early she got married.
"We can discuss it slowly when we wait for the wedding day." Xing Huo didn't want to make any extraneous matters, and wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible. "As for the engagement, I still hope it can be earlier."
"Mom, you don't need to prepare anything for your engagement. I will order the dress tomorrow."
Mr. Chen also agreed very much, "As long as you choose a good day, it will be fine."
Chen Ying's face was full of joy. She glanced at Qiao Zhishu's position. She lowered her head the whole time and didn't take a few bites.
Her sense of existence was very low, as it had always been, but Xing Huo seemed to have only her in his eyes.
It's just that this kind of observation needs to be done quietly and calmly. He has been hiding his thoughts for so long, and he is afraid that one day he will no longer be able to hide them.
Chen Ying got up and went to the bathroom. When she looked in the mirror, she couldn't help but look at the face inside.
She is not as good-looking as Qiao Zhishu, and even when they stand together and compare, she seems too ordinary.
Even if she wears famous brands and exquisite makeup, she can't compare to Qiao Zhishu's bare face.
"Woof woof woof——"
The family dog rushed in and rolled around Chen Ying's feet.
She lowered her body and saw that the dog had been trained to be very obedient by her. Chen Ying held it in her arms and said viciously, "When you go out later, it would be great if you could scratch Qiao Zhishu's face! Very hard."
Bite her, scratch her, you hear me?"
Chen Ying touched the puppy's head and then let go of it.
She stood up and walked out, and the dog followed her. As soon as Chen Ying sat down, she heard her dog barking under the table.
Qiao Zhishu encountered a ball of furry things at her feet. When she looked down, she saw the dog staring at her fiercely.
She didn't want to mess with it, but the dog, like its owner, took advantage of it and bit her on the leg.
Qiao Zhishu stood up from the chair in pain. Seeing this, Xing Huo looked over with a chill in his eyes.
