Fourth Brother sat on the sofa with an expression as if someone owed him 100 million yuan. He crossed his arms and seemed a little unconvinced. There were two test papers in front of him, one of which was crumpled. Mother He came out of the kitchen with tomato soup. Her face was flushed as if it was the second day of their marriage. When she saw He Ning, she greeted, "Ningning is back. It's time to eat."
She paused for a moment, looked behind him, and asked, "Why are you back alone? Where are Eldest Brother and Jingjing?"
He Ning wasn't in the mood to respond. He said perfunctorily, "They'll be back soon. I won't have dinner. I had ice cream outside."
As he spoke, he walked towards his room.
The door slammed shut with a "bang".
Father He put down the newspaper and sighed, "He still can't bear to part with Xiao Yi."
His seven sons had a good relationship with Cheng Yi. Now that Cheng Yi had left and a "stranger" had come, it was normal for the brothers to be awkward.
Fifteen minutes later, He Jing and He Yuan returned.
He Jing had already changed out of her little dress and wore a simple white shirt and pleated skirt. She was talking and laughing with He Yuan, looking very happy.
He Sui and He Xiaoguo, who were sitting on the sofa, looked up at the same time. They were genuinely stunned. He Jing, in her white shirt, had completely lost the glamour she had when they first met. She seemed like a pearl that had lost its luster and returned to dust and smoke.
However, her beautiful face did not make her look ordinary at all. Her curly hair was tied up with a newly bought rubber band and tied up into a bun. Her youthful and cute vibe overflowed, just like a lemon in summer. Just a look at her made people think of sour and sweet.
She was really good-looking...
Although Cheng Yi was also very good-looking, her style remained consistent. She had always presented herself with a pure and innocent image. On the other hand, He Jing was versatile and exquisite, as if she could hold on to any style. He Sui could not help but be envious of the boys who were in the same high school as He Jing.
If there were such beautiful girls in their school, his grades would definitely not be so good.
As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, He Sui wanted to slap himself twice. Thinking of his failure just now, he got up angrily and went into the room. He said to Mother He, "I won't eat dinner either. I'm not hungry."
Mother He had just brought all the food to the table when she exclaimed, "Ei." When she looked at He Jing again, she immediately forgot what she was about to say. Her eyes were filled with love and joy. "As expected of my daughter, you look beautiful in everything."
He Jing's eyes curved, "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Mother He praised her sincerely but then couldn't hold back and asked He Yuan softly, "How much did you spend on this outfit?"
He Yuan put one hand in his pocket and said calmly, "30 yuan. The top was 10 yuan, the skirt was 20 yuan, and she even asked the boss for a pair of socks."
Mother He relaxed her brows and then scolded, "It's so cheap. Why don't you buy more for Jingjing?"
He Jing said, "Mom, it's not necessary. I have to wear my school uniform to school. This outfit is just right for changing."
He Xiaoguo had put down the frog toy long ago. With eyes full of envy, he said, "Mom, can I get my new sister to send me to school tomorrow?"
If He Jing was willing to send him to school, all the children in school would be envious of him.
Mother He refused decisively, "No, we can't trouble your sister."
Unable to hold back his deep disappointment, He Xiaoguo weakly said, "Oh." He sounded extremely pitiful.
After dinner, He Jing took the initiative to go into the kitchen to help Mother He with the dishes. In her previous life, as Cinderella, housework came naturally to her, but before she could start, Mother He drove her out.
