Her tone was extremely bad, and her voice was loud, as if she was reprimanding her subordinates.

Zhong Jie on the side snorted Hu Xiaoting: "Won't you be quieter, my ears are going to be deafened by you." After complaining, he continued to read the newspaper leisurely, and did not seem to think that Hu Xiaoting's attitude towards Tong Qiangqiang was inappropriate.

Hu Xiaoting grabbed Zhong Jie's arm and coquettishly, "How can you blame me? Turning her head, she saw Tong Qiangqiang's hand holding the cup stuck in the air, and she said angrily: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you change a glass of orange juice for me quickly." ”

Tong Qiangqiang was very embarrassed, silent, didn't say anything, and wanted to go to the dining table to get orange juice for Hu Xiaoting. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, a black shadow suddenly flew towards her, and it was about to hit her forehead.

She reflexively wanted to cover her forehead, but as soon as she let go, there was a crisp "bang", and the cup fell to the ground and fell to pieces, accompanied by Zhong Ruchen's victorious cheers: "Oh yes! Another enemy is dead! Our army is mighty!

Here, Hu Xiaoting jumped up from the sofa and asked, "Oh, hey, Qiang Qiang, what do you mean by this? Take the opportunity to drop the cup and deliberately throw your face to show the second aunt, right? If things are not done well, the elders are not allowed to mention you?"

The servants who were doing things around them all quietly watched the movement as if they were watching a joke.

Tong Qiangqiang glanced at Zhong Ruchen, who raised the toy gun and continued to target her to "tuk tuk tuk", lowered his eyelids, responded to Hu Xiaoting's accusation with a non-lethal "I didn't", and then squatted on the ground to pick up the pieces.

A pair of feet in leather shoes suddenly appeared in her field of vision, and they walked in front of her and stood still, a shadow fell in front of her, and a low voice fell from the top of her head, "Stand up." ”

Tong Qiangqiang raised his face in response.

I saw Han Lie's eyebrows frowning slightly, his eyes were dark, and he was faintly sharp.

Tong Qiangqiang was a little at a loss and didn't move for a while.

Han Lie squinted slightly, and repeated in a calm tone, "Stand up." ”

If Fang couldn't hear his emotions for the first time, he didn't hide his anger at this time.

Obviously, he had only known him for a few days, but Tong Qiangqiang had an inexplicable premonition that he would be furious in the next second, and his actions were faster than the reaction of his head, so he hurriedly listened to his words.

Han Lie's expression finally softened, but his eyes were still very deep, staring at Tong Qiangqiang's hair, and he called him stumblingly: "Little, uncle." ”

Hu Xiaoting sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and asked Han Lie: "Third brother, what's wrong with you? Qiang Qiang has done something wrong with you? She has been like this since she was a child, if she makes you unhappy, you can just reprimand you." ”

Han Lie turned a deaf ear to Hu Xiaoting's words, but opened his mouth to Tong Qiangqiang again: "Are you the servant of the Zhong family?"

Tong Qiangqiang's body shook imperceptibly, and he looked at Han Lie in a daze.

"Are you the Zhong family's servant?" asked Han Lie repeatedly.

Hu Xiaoting is not stupid, where can he not smell the meaning of Han Lie's words, his eyes rolled, and he maintained a smiling face: "Third brother, Qiang Qiang is not a daughter who can't carry her hands and shoulders, I just asked her to do a favor, can I still miss an arm and break a leg? You pointed at Sang and scolded Huai like this, as if I had done something excessive to her." ”

Zhong Jie accosted: "Yes, third brother, don't misunderstand your second sister-in-law, Qiang Qiang has been helping with housework at home, and she is used to it." Qiang, you said yes, right?"

Tong Qiangqiang rubbed his hands crampedly and licked his lips: "Hmm." It's okay. It's just a gesture, everyone is a family. ”

"Oh...... So that's ......" Han Lie seemed to be stunned for a moment, but his eyes were indifferent, and the corners of his mouth even hooked a thick arc of ridicule.

Tong Qiangqiang saw it clearly, and an inexplicable complex emotion rose in his heart, and he didn't dare to look at Han Lie's eyes anymore. Then I heard Han Lie say lightly: "That's really my misunderstanding." ”

"That's it, that's it. Hu Xiaoting happily said, "Ah Hua, come on, come and clean up the glass shards on the ground!"

The vignette is so temporarily revealed.

Then the people gathered together as a family and had breakfast with a smile and a smile.

The sunlight outside was very good, and it poured into the restaurant through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, but Tong Qiangqiang's heart was always sullen, silently listening to everyone's chat, and from time to time "virtuously" handed Zhong Wenhao a buttered bread.

Because of the tenth anniversary of Zhong Jie's marriage to Hu Xiaoting, the four of them went to Europe to travel, and took more than half a month off and did not go to work in the company, so they asked Zhong Wenhao about several news about the latest investment cases. Zhong Yuanshan interjected coldly: "You have arranged, pick a time for the third child to start to familiarize himself with the company's situation." ”

As soon as the words were spoken, there was a sudden silence at the table.

After Zhong Wenhao and Zhong Jie silently exchanged a look, Zhong Jie asked, "Dad wants the third brother to take care of the company together?"

"What's wrong?" Zhong Yuanshan asked rhetorically.

"No, no. It's just ......" Zhong Jie hesitated: "The third brother returned to China this time, didn't he have his own career to develop?"

Hu Xiaoting couldn't wait to echo Zhong Jie: "Yes, yes, didn't the third brother say last night that he and a friend co-founded a company, or the IT industry, the field of young people, the prospects are good." Third brother, right?"

After all, it was the company where he was interning at this moment, Tong Qiangqiang's whole heart was pinched, and he looked at Han Lie slightly nervously.

Han Lie was cutting the ham with a knife, and the blade rubbed against the bottom of the plate to make a slight movement. He put a small piece of ham into his mouth with a fork, chewed and swallowed it, and then raised his eyes and said to Zhong Yuanshan: "The company has just started, and there are many things to do, so I'm afraid I can't help the family." Dad, I'm sorry. ”

As Han Lie's voice fell, Zhong Jie and Hu Xiaoting were obviously relieved. Tong Qiangqiang quietly took their reactions into his eyes and quietly glanced at Zhu Jinhua.

Zhu Jinhua was quietly eating what was on her plate—as always, but she never expressed her opinion on Zhong's affairs.

Compared with the enthusiasm of the second aunt Hu Xiaoting, this mother-in-law always shows the posture of "not interfering in politics in the harem" in front of Old Man Zhong.

Zhong Yuanshan looked around at everyone, his face was quite ugly, he put down his knife and fork suddenly, and pushed his wheelchair away from the table, "Third child, come into the study with me!"

Everyone looked at each other for a moment. Han Lie stood up and bowed politely to everyone, following Zhong Yuanshan.

Breakfast broke up unhappily, but because Zhong Yuanshan and Han Lie were in the study, Zhong Jie and Zhong Wenhao tacitly postponed the time to go to the company, as if they wanted to wait until there was a result of the matter. Hu Xiaoting and Zhu Jinhua also sat in the living room together, and no one spoke for a long time.

Tong Qiangqiang stood alone in the corner, with his back against the wall, feeling the waves in the oppressive atmosphere.

"Sister-in-law, do you say that the old man is really old and has a bad head?" Hu Xiaoting pulled Zhu Jinhua's clothes, lowered his voice and asked: "It's been more than 30 years, and a wild child suddenly appeared, and he recognized it." In order to make him happy with his filial piety, he asked Han Lie to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and none of us stopped him; he gave Han Lie a clean sweep, and we all paid for their father and son with a smile. Now it's okay, and I want to let Han Lie enter the Zhong clan again. Wouldn't the next step be to divide the family property among Han Lie?"

Hu Xiaoting was worried, "I should have thought of it a long time ago." Then Han Lie didn't appear sooner or later, but when the old man's health was about to fail, what else could he do if it wasn't for the inheritance of property?

Zhu Jinhua peeled the fruit quite calmly, as if he hadn't listened to Hu Xiaoting's words.

Hu Xiaoting was anxious: "Sister-in-law, you have something to say! Don't forget that it was you who persuaded our husband and wife to fulfill the old man's wish for family happiness." At that time, if the old man's will really wants to give Han Lie a piece of the pie, it will be transferred from Wen Hao's share! We Ning Ning and Chenchen are still young, and we will have to spend money everywhere in the future......

The movement in Zhu Jinhua's hand froze, and Zhong Wenhao sneered coldly: "The second aunt is really a good idea, and the second uncle can save a lot of worry with you." ”

Hu Xiaoting's face turned blue: "How did you talk to the elders?!"

"Shut up!" Zhong Jie scolded Hu Xiaoting viciously, his expression was extremely hideous for a moment, and Hu Xiaoting was so frightened that he really didn't dare to speak anymore.

The butler brought in a man at this point. At a glance, it was Maggie, Tong Qiangqiang was afraid that she would open her mouth to greet her, so that she couldn't lie in front of her mother-in-law, and she didn't want Maggie to just smile at her from afar.

Maggie naturally came to find Han Lie. Although he didn't dare to disturb Zhong Yuanshan, Zhu Jinhua couldn't do Han Lie's business, so he asked the housekeeper to knock on the door of the study.

Soon, Han Lie came out and said to Zhong Jie and Zhong Wenhao, "Dad is looking for you." ”

Zhong Jie and Zhong Wenhao hurriedly entered the study.

Immediately, Han Lie said to Zhu Jinhua again: "Sister-in-law, I have something to do in the past few days, so it is inconvenient to go back to the Zhong Mansion." Wait a few days to play chess with Dad. ”

Zhu Jinhua smiled and nodded: "Okay, it's okay, you just go and get busy." ”

Han Lie bowed slightly and was about to leave with Maggie, Zhu Jinhua seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked at Tong Qiangqiang: "Qiangqiang, did you say that you have to go to school today? Do you want to let Uncle give you a ride along the way?" Wen Hao probably didn't come out so soon. ”

Tong Qiangqiang was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't expect his mother-in-law to make this suggestion. She did report to Zhu Jinhua and made an appointment with the professor to discuss her graduation thesis, and she was going to leave later, but she wanted her to take Han Lie's ride......

Without waiting for Tong Qiangqiang to respond, Zhu Jinhua had already turned his head and asked Han Lie: "Third brother, is it convenient for you?"

"Convenient. Han Lie nodded, but Tong Qiangqiang shook his head at the same time: "Don't bother Uncle, I can take a ride!"

"Qiang, what do you look so frightened about? Your uncle is not a flood beast. It's a shame that he still protects you so much in the morning, I hurt you in vain!" Hu Xiaoting covered his mouth and said a joke, but it just poked Tong Qiangqiang's embarrassment, "No...... Second aunt, I'm ......"

She subconsciously glanced at Han Lie.

Han Lie's gaze touched her for a second, and he didn't say anything, turned around and walked out.
