Huo Jinxi finally helped Cheng Manshu back to his room, but Cheng Manshu was still agitated and found it difficult to calm down.
She complained nonchalantly, and occasionally cursed loudly, going back and forth, but it was always the same words.
Huo Jinxi was used to hearing this, so after comforting Cheng Manshu for a while, he called someone to accompany her, and then he got up and went downstairs.
Downstairs, Lin Shu happened to come out from the direction of the kitchen. When she saw Huo Jinxi, she quickly asked: "They said your parents are having trouble again?"
Huo Jinxi walked to the sofa and sat down, and said calmly: "You have started to quarrel a lot recently?"
"How often." Lin Shu sighed and sat down, "Your father never comes home and you can't see him in person, so naturally he won't quarrel often."
Huo Jinxi frowned slightly after hearing this, and then said, "Didn't my mother's mood become much more stable some time ago?"
"Yes." Lin Shu sighed as she spoke, "But when Qingzi died, your father was so sad that he often lost his mind. He often played the songs and movies that Qingzi loved to listen to when he was young at home... Your mother saw these things
, can you not be stimulated?"
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi was silent for a moment and said nothing more.
Huo Bainian probably really has an obsession with Rong Qingzi——
Because I have never gotten it, I feel unwilling.
But she just left like this, cutting off all his thoughts, so he couldn't let go.
And Cheng Manshu's obsession is even more difficult to calm down.
She has lost to many women in her life, but there is one dead woman who she will never be able to win.
The marriage between her and Huo Bainian was full of holes and had long been unresolved, but she still clung to it and refused to let go.
All the advice and comfort were as useless to her as throwing a stone into the sea.
Therefore, as an "outsider", even if he is as close as Huo Jinxi, he cannot help her find relief.
"We are really helpless." Lin Shu sighed and said, "I can only hope that your mother will suddenly figure it out one day and let herself go."
Huo Jinxi lowered his eyes and did not answer.
Lin Shu was quiet for a moment, then looked at him again and said, "I heard that you spent 60 million with a wave of your hand last night?"
Huo Jinxi responded lightly.
"Mu Qian should be very happy, right?" Lin Shu looked at him, "No wonder you look so good today. If she is happy, of course you are happy too."
When Huo Jinxi heard this, he just curled his lips slightly.
"That's fine, it's been hard enough for you to juggle multiple things over the years. Now that Mu Qian can help you accompany Qi Ran and the old man, and it can make you happy, you, just stay with her." Lin Shu
After saying that, she glanced at him again and said, "I just ask you to keep a low profile. It's best to avoid the situation like yesterday, otherwise your mother will see you and be irritated again!"
…
Cheng Manshu was emotionally unstable, but Huo Jinxi stayed with her to have dinner with her before leaving.
When I returned to the old house, the courtyard was busy.
It’s the scorching summer, so a few new chairs have been added to the courtyard. Today, there’s an outdoor projector, which is playing a movie.
Mr. Huo, Mu Qian, Huo Qiran and Auntie were all here, but Auntie was the only one who was watching the movie seriously——
Mr. Huo was pruning a potted plant in front of him, while Mu Qian and Huo Qiran were fighting over a box of ice cream.
When Huo Jinxi stepped forward, Mu Qian successfully grabbed the ice cream, and while digging, she accused Huo Qiran: "You brat, you really have no grace at all, you actually snatched food from girls, how can you fall in love with other girls in the future!
"
Huo Qiran was sitting next to him with a spoon in his hand, looking unhappy.
Mr. Huo raised his head and glanced up, and finally couldn't help but stand up for justice: "It's obvious that you grabbed his after eating your own, but you did it so openly, even your demeanor was involved! Are you embarrassed?"
"Why am I embarrassed?" Mu Qian rolled her eyes, then pointed at Huo Qiran and said, "You have changed! You were so kind to me before! You gave me all the chocolates the little girl gave you! Now you don't even have one
You want to steal ice cream from me, men really have no conscience——"
As soon as she finished saying this, she looked up and suddenly saw Huo Jinxi. The ice cream in her mouth suddenly slipped into her throat, causing her to cough violently.
Mr. Huo glanced at her and shrugged, "Look, retribution is coming!"
Mu Qian was unable to refute, so she just stretched out her hand to ask for help.
The aunt quickly stood up and poured her a cup of tea. Huo Jinxi stepped forward, took it with his hand, came to Mu Qian's side, brought the tea to her mouth, and patted her back to cheer her up.
Mu Qian finally recovered, half of her strength was gone.
"What kind of family are you, old and young, catching me alone and bullying me?" Mu Qian complained angrily, "After all, you are all named Huo, and I am not the only one, right? What kind of feudal and evil family is this?
—”
As Mu Qian said this, she secretly pinched Huo Jinxi hard.
But that man had a strong and tight body, so she pinched him again and again, but it seemed to have no effect at all.
"I don't know who I learned this skill from!" Mr. Huo sighed.
Huo Jinxi noticed her movements, glanced at the long-sleeved pants she was wearing on a hot day, and then said, "Are you... waiting for an opportunity to take revenge?"
"You still have the nerve to say that!" Mu Qian gritted her teeth, "Huo Jinxi, you and your family just bully me as hard as you can!"
At this moment, she was obviously arrogant and noisy to the extreme, but Huo Jinxi's depression was completely gone.
He suddenly stretched out his hand to hug her, lowered his head and kissed her.
Mu Qian didn't expect that he would come so suddenly, and was stunned for a moment. Huo Qiran took the opportunity to get back his ice cream and ran away.
"Huo Qiran——"
In an instant, the courtyard was in a commotion again.
Huo Jinxi sat on the chair, looking at Mu Qian and Huo Qiran running and chasing each other, and couldn't help but raise his lips again.
The night breeze blew slowly, the chirping of cicadas gradually subsided, and the midsummer night suddenly became extremely beautiful.
…
After ten o'clock, when the movie was over, Mr. Huo and Huo Qiran were sent to bed by their aunt, leaving Huo Jinxi and Mu Qian alone in the courtyard.
The two of them were lying on a lounge chair. Mu Qian had been making noise all night, and now she was a little exhausted. The lying position was so comfortable that she didn't want to move.
Huo Jinxi held her in his arms and did not move.
"Have you gone home?" Mu Qian suddenly asked after not knowing how long it had been.
"Yeah." Huo Jinxi responded.
Mu Qian suddenly opened her eyes and glanced at him, "What's wrong with your mother?"
"It's okay." Huo Jinxi replied, "Same as usual."
Mu Qian was quiet for a moment, then suddenly said: "Isn't it abnormal for us to be like this?"
After eight months of marriage, Mu Qian had not seen Cheng Manshu once. Although she had no intention of meeting her, she still couldn't help but have such doubts in her heart.
Huo Jinxi lowered his eyes and glanced at her, then said slowly: "That's it, it's good."
It would be the best if it can continue like this.
Mu Qian wanted to say something else, but Huo Jinxi lowered his head and kissed her again.
It's the height of summer, but I wish I could kiss heaven and earth.
