When Chen Heng returned, he saw Li Cheng leaning her head against Meng Shijiang's thigh, acting cute.
Hearing the door open, Li Cheng immediately got up from Meng Shijiang's thigh and looked up at Chen Heng with a big smile as she said sweetly, "Daddy, you're back."
Hearing Li Cheng call him daddy in such a sweet voice, a smile appeared on Chen Heng's face.
Chen Heng put on his shoes as he looked around the living room. After not seeing Jiujiu, he frowned and asked, "Where's Xiao Xiao? She didn't come back with you. "
The first half of the sentence was directed at Meng Shijiang, while the second half was directed at Li Cheng.
Hearing Chen Heng ask about Jiujiu, Li Cheng felt quite annoyed.
She had been by his side all day, but as soon as he came back, he only asked about Chen Xiao.
Because of her jealousy, Li Cheng's face became slightly twisted.
However, although Li Cheng was extremely jealous in her heart, she still looked affectionate on the surface, as if she had a very good relationship with Jiujiu. "Chen Xiao went into the house as soon as he came back. Maybe he went to play games."
Even now, Li Cheng did not forget to slander Jiujiu, telling Chen Heng that Jiujiu was not in her room because she liked to study but because she liked to play games.
As expected, after hearing Li Cheng say that Jiujiu was playing games in her room, Chen Heng's face immediately darkened, and he did not hesitate to walk towards Jiujiu's room. If Jiujiu was really playing games, he was going to teach Jiujiu a lesson.
Before Chen Heng's hand could touch the doorknob, the door was opened by Jiujiu. Jiujiu looked at Chen Heng, whose hand was hanging in the air with a look of anger on his face, and she gave a bright smile as she asked, "Dad, what is it?"
Originally, Chen Heng had been preparing to fiercely interrogate her, but when he saw Jiujiu's face, which was becoming more and more like his ex-wife's, the words that were filled with anger immediately changed. "Why didn't you talk to your aunty outside? What were you doing in the house?"
"Some time ago, I heard from the people in the neighborhood that I bought my way into No.1 Middle School, so I thought that it must be because my grades are too bad that people would have such a misunderstanding. I'm reading now."
As she spoke, Jiujiu's eyes were fixed on Meng Shijiang and Li Cheng.
Meng Shijiang and Li Cheng's scalps immediately tingled from Jiujiu's gaze. This was especially so for Li Cheng; she felt as if she had been completely seen through by Jiujiu.
Li Cheng instinctively hugged Meng Shijiang's arm for help.
As a mother, Meng Shijiang stepped in front of Li Cheng and said with a calm expression, "Perhaps those gossipy women are talking nonsense. Aunty will help you scold them tomorrow; let's see if they still dare to talk nonsense in the future."
Hearing Meng Shijiang's words, Chen Heng nodded in satisfaction.
Seeing that this matter was over, Jiujiu once again spoke, "Aunty, could it be that they're talking about Li Cheng?"
Jiujiu's words caused Meng Shijiang to freeze in fear. Chen Heng had already walked to the door of the study, but after hearing this, he immediately turned around and looked at Li Cheng and Meng Shijiang in confusion.
Under Li Cheng's gaze, half of Meng Shijiang's body froze. However, thinking about how she had not told Chen Heng that she had used so much money for Li Cheng's school fees, she could only brace herself and lie, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're so good at your studies, and Li Cheng is your little sister; she can't be that bad."
When Meng Shijiang was the scapegoat, she had asked her to do it, but now, she was the one doing the talking. Jiujiu felt that if a face could be made into a bulletproof vest, Meng Shijiang's face would definitely be very expensive.
Jiujiu could not deny Meng Shijiang's words, while Chen Heng looked at Meng Shijiang meaningfully before walking into the study.
After Chen Heng went into the study, Jiujiu went into her room.
After Chen Heng and Jiujiu left, Li Cheng hurriedly grabbed Meng Shijiang's arm and said with a sobbing voice, "Mum, did that little bitch find out something?"
If that little bitch found out that she had been bought into the city's No.1 Middle School, she would definitely laugh at her. Thinking to there, Li Cheng's tears immediately fell.
Li Cheng wiped away her tears as she said in a choked voice, "Mum, if that little bitch says anything, I'll definitely be laughed at to death."
"She dares?" Meng Shijiang raised her voice, "Don't worry, she still has to take her living expenses from me every month. If she dares to say anything, I'll make sure she doesn't even have food to eat."
Hearing that Meng Shijiang was going to threaten Jiujiu with her living expenses, Li Cheng let out a sigh of relief.
Even though Jiujiu's personality was cold, she was not like Tao Yuanming who would not bend over for money. If she had her living expenses controlled, even if she had ten times the courage, she would not dare to say anything.
Seeing that Li Cheng had stopped crying, Meng Shijiang wiped away her tears and said in a low voice, "Go wash your face, we'll eat soon."
"Ai …" Hearing that Jiujiu would not tell anyone else about her, Li Cheng let out a sigh of relief and smiled as she went to wash her face.
Looking at Li Cheng's smiling face, Meng Shijiang first smiled, but when she thought of Jiujiu, her gaze became cold.
After eating dinner, Chen Heng once again went to the study. After cleaning up the kitchen, Meng Shijiang went to Jiujiu's room.
Meng Shijiang opened the door and looked at Jiujiu, who had her head buried in a book, and said, "Chen Xiao, are you busy? Auntie has something to discuss with you. "
Hearing Meng Shijiang's voice, Jiujiu closed the book and turned around, looking at Meng Shijiang, "What is it?"
Meng Shijiang sat on the bed and looked at Jiujiu as she said, "Auntie just wants to ask you, what do you mean by what you said today?"
Jiujiu's presence in this family was almost non-existent. For her to suddenly bring up the topic of Li Cheng, she definitely knew something.
If Chen Heng knew that Li Cheng had bought her way into the First Middle School, he would definitely make trouble for her. Thinking about how she had finally captured Chen Heng's heart, Meng Shijiang's gaze darkened.
She definitely could not lose Chen Heng.
Looking at Meng Shijiang's vicious expression, Jiujiu lightly laughed, "I think auntie should know what I mean."
Meng Shijiang: "I don't know."
"You know." Jiujiu smiled and said to Meng Shijiang, "My father doesn't know about Li Cheng's academic results, but you and I both know it in our hearts. As for how she got into City No. 1 Middle School, you and I both know it in our hearts, right?"
Jiujiu did not directly say that Li Cheng had bought her way into the First Middle School, but her words implied that.
This caused Meng Shijiang, who had been hoping for a fluke, to feel a bit dumbfounded.
Before she came, she felt that even if Jiujiu knew something, as long as she came in, Jiujiu would definitely not dare to say anything. But now, Jiujiu's attitude of "I'll say anything" made Meng Shijiang somewhat unsure of how to respond.
