Chapter 480: Chapter 479: 479, still young, likes to get jealous without reason.

First, it was Shi Huan. She still remembered clearly what Huo Jingshen said in the hospital room that night. So, was this lunch today intended as a feast at the Hongmen?

Next was Su Wanwan. In fact, as early as that night when Huo Jingshen finished explaining and then made consecutive phone calls to Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan for confirmation, she had already believed that what he said was the truth.

Unexpectedly, he had even specially invited Chu Jingyi over today to explain.

She looked at Chu Jingyi, and sure enough, the latter looked terrible.

“Jingyi, do you recognize this scarf?” Huo Jingshen’s voice was low and cold.

Chu Jingyi slowly turned up her red lips, and casually said, “I recognize it, what’s the matter? Is there a problem?”

“This scarf was bought by you.”

Chu Jingyi raised her eyebrow, not denying it, “I bought it for Ahuang.”

Huo Jingshen looked at Su Wanwan, “Are you satisfied with this explanation?”

Su Wanwan felt awkward and could only say, “Yes, I am satisfied.”

“Pfft!” Chu Xiuhuang let out a muffled laugh.

Su Wanwan felt even more awkward and couldn’t help lowering her head.

Damn, she felt like she was fast becoming the very icon of jealousy.

Chu Jingyi just watched as Su Wanwan pretended to be shy.

Her fingers unconsciously squeezed tighter and tighter. The wet tissues in her hand were squashed, wetting her fingers and dampening the white tablecloth on the table.

The spots on the tablecloth made it look really untidy.

She thought that was the end, but who knew…

“Jingyi, my baby is still young and likes to be jealous. She saw me wearing this scarf and thought it was from you, so she misunderstood you.” As Huo Jingshen spoke, he raised his hand and gently stroked Su Wanwan’s head, “You, as her older sister, must never bear a grudge against her because of this.”

Huo Jingshen put this tall hat on her, and Chu Jingyi could only accept it.

She forced a smile, “It’s okay, I won’t be petty with a little girl.”

Little girl?

Su Wanwan suddenly raised her head.

Damn.

Why did those three words sound so annoying?

Under Huo Jingshen’s suggestive gaze, she readily agreed, “My husband is right, he’s now married, a man with a wife, and any woman with a bit of foresight would avoid suspicion and not give him such intimate gifts. An older sister like Miss Chu, who is mature and stable, would never deliberately create misunderstandings. It’s all my fault, I wrongly blamed my older sister.”

The pupils of Chu Jingyi’s eyes contracted suddenly.

This girl, she kept calling her “mature” and “older sister”, clearly mocking her for being old!

She clenched her fingers, and the smile at the corner of her mouth couldn’t hold up any more in its stiffness.

“Sis.” The voice of Chu Xiuhuang followed closely, “Apart from Little Huanhuan, I don’t like other women preparing my personal clothing for me, whether it is you or my mother. Please don’t buy these things for me in the future. You can take this scarf back.”

After saying that, he put the scarf back in the bag and then passed it over.

So, Chu Jingyi’s face turned even worse.

This younger brother of hers, was he now helping to slap her face in front of outsiders?

Shi Huan didn’t say anything.

She was already used to Chu Xiuhuang’s occasional weird behaviour.

This man had always been very elusive. When he’s in a good mood, everything seemed negotiable, but when he gets arrogant, he wouldn’t care about anyone.

Even if that person was his own family.

An awkward atmosphere condensed in the private room.

Finally, Chu Jingyi put down the wet tissues in her hand, gracefully got up to take the bag, “Is everything done? I have something to attend to, so I’ll leave first.”

Huo Jingshen nodded slightly.

Chu Jingyi took a deep breath, took her coat, and left with elegance.

…

Once she left the private room, she quickened her steps.

Her high heels stepped on the thick carpet, briskly marched along the corridor until she reached a corner, and saw the trash can in front. She walked straight over and shoved the bag inside.

Her body trembled slightly, and after a while, she lowered her head to look for her car keys.

“Miss Chu.” A familiar female voice suddenly sounded.

It was still a very fluent and authentic English accent.

Chu Jingyi looked up, and when she saw the woman standing in front of her, surprise filled her eyes, “How could you be here?”

She turned around rapidly and asked, “Are you here looking for Jingshen?”

The woman crossed her arms, her red lipsticked lips curving up slightly, “No, I am here to look for you.”

“Look for me?”

“Yes.” The woman narrowed her beautiful blue eyes, “I want to know everything about Jason’s wife, can you tell me?”

Jason, also known as Huo Jingshen’s English name.

Chu Jingyi looked at her. After a while, she nodded with a smile, “Let’s find a place to talk in detail.”

“OK.”

**

A private room.

Not long after Chu Jingyi left, the waiter came in to settle the bill.

Chu Xiuhuang looked at the time, it was only a little past one in the afternoon.

“Big brother, what’s the plan?”

Huo Jingshen stood up right away, “I’m taking Baby back to school.”

“You’re kidding, right? It’s the weekend, instead of spending time with your wife at home, you’re sending her back to school?” Chu Xiuhuang looked suggestive, clearly mocking him for being married but not able to enjoy the benefits.

“Safety first.” Huo Jingshen looked at him indifferently, “What would a single dog like you know about marriage?”

Chu Xiuhuang: “…”

Damn … a critical hit!

He immediately turned to look at Shi Huan, “Little Huanhuan, aren’t you going to clarify things for me?”

Shi Huan blinked, “What?”

Chu Xiuhuang again: “…”

This, how can she be so slow?

…

On the other hand, Su Wanwan totally missed what they were talking about.

She quickly put on her clothes, tied her scarf, took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Mo Weiyi.

[I’ve finished eating, I’ll be back at school soon, you can go to the reading room first and reserve two seats.]

Who knew Mo Weiyi replied instantly, [Baby Wanwan, I’m at the club getting my hair done, I have a party tonight.]

Su Wanwan’s brows immediately furrowed, [What kind of party?]

[A gathering of my husband’s classmates.]

Su Wanwan: “…”

Damn!

Because this girl kept requesting someone to accompany her, she kindly thought about rushing back to school to accompany her after dinner.

But this girl, she was even getting her hair done? Going to a party with Xiao Yebai?

Didn’t they agree on a cold war?

It really was, friends don’t matter when there’s a boyfriend around!
