Chu Qiao smiled at Tang Weiguo and continued to chew on the watermelon. The pulp of the watermelon had already been eaten up, and the remaining flesh was a little difficult to chew on. The sides of her mouth would be stained with watermelon juice, making her look rather miserable.

Chu Qiao, who had been a rich wife for ten years, would never allow herself to eat watermelon in a miserable state in front of outsiders. She thought for a moment, then stood up and went to the kitchen. He Jihong was so busy that she was dizzy. When she saw her, she said, “Pick out this shrimp string.”

“Aunt He, my hand hurts.”

Chu Qiao smiled weakly. She no longer looked at He Jihong’s livid face. She took the plate and went out. She was not against housework, but she would never work for He Jihong again.

Bang!

A loud noise came from the kitchen. He Jihong was so angry that she almost smashed the pot. Tang Weiguo asked with concern, “Is Aunt He alright?”

“It’s nothing. I accidentally dropped something. Weiguo, you eat watermelons. Chu Qiao, cut the watermelons for Weiguo!”

He Jihong took a deep breath. Her face was full of smiles again. She came out and shouted at Chu Qiao, her eyes cold. She couldn’t keep this little sl*t anymore. She would call Gu Jianshe’s mother later and get the marriage certificate as soon as possible. There was no need to do anything about the wine… She just needed to buy some dowry and send this little sl*t away. She didn’t want her to stay at home and be distracted.

“Oh!”

Chu Qiao responded. She took out a watermelon from the fridge, cut a piece, and served it to Tang Weiguo.

Tang Weiguo came back to his senses. He was very sure that this woman who was so beautiful that he couldn’t take his eyes off her was the ghost-like Chu Qiao from before. He didn’t expect that under the thick bangs, she would be so beautiful. Even if she was wearing a sack-like dress… it couldn’t hide her beauty at all.

“Thank you.”

Tang Weiguo thanked her politely and sat down on the sofa. He was two fists away from Chu Qiao, which made her frown. She wasn’t used to sitting too close to the opposite sex. Even though this kid was her younger brother, he was still a head and a half taller than her.

Chu Qiao moved to the side, and only then did she feel more at ease. She didn’t notice that Tang Weiguo’s eyes flashed with a smile. He looked at her with a burning gaze, so focused that he even forgot to eat the watermelon.

Chu Qiao cut off the hard-to-eat watermelon flesh, then divided it into small pieces and placed them on a plate. Chu Qiao used the knife skillfully, and her movements were neither fast nor slow. She cut them up very quickly, and threw the rest of the watermelon rind into the trash can.

Actually, the watermelon rind could make a lot of delicious food, but Chu Qiao wasn’t in the mood to do that right now. No one in this family was fit for her to do it.

Chu Qiao took a few toothpicks, holding the plate with one hand and eating the watermelon with the other. She watched the television attentively, watching a foreign comedy. She was amused and kept laughing, not knowing that in the eyes of others… she had become a beautiful scenery.

Tang Weiguo’s eyes were wide open. He originally didn’t want to come over today, but Chu Peng called him over and threatened to not let him copy his homework in the future. He had no choice but to give up the opportunity to play basketball in the neighboring public security courtyard. Playing basketball was secondary. The main reason was that a beautiful girl had moved in from the neighboring courtyard. Her friends said that she was even more beautiful than the campus belle of his school. Tang Weiguo was itching to go to the neighboring courtyard to show off his basketball skills. He wanted to see if he could talk to the beautiful girl.

But now, he didn’t regret it at all. No matter how beautiful a girl was, how could she be as good-looking as Sister Chu Peng? Judging from his 18 years of experience in picking up girls, Sister Chu Peng was definitely the most beautiful girl in history. The Four Beauties of the ancient times should only be so-so, right?

There was also a poem that said, ‘The more you add, the fatter you get, and the less you lose, the thinner you get. The beauty of the country, the beauty of the sky, the beauty of the moon, the beauty of the flowers, the beauty of the fish, the beauty of the geese, the beauty of the harem…’

All sorts of idiom and poetry came out of his head. Tang Weiguo felt that these were all worthy of Chu Qiao’s stunning beauty, and he suddenly felt quite proud. Chu Peng had just scolded him for being ignorant. Hmph, it was obvious that he didn’t want to learn because he wasn’t stimulated by a beauty. Wouldn’t he be overflowing with talent when he saw a beauty?

If the language teacher wasn’t a bald and skinny old man, but Chu Qiao, he would definitely get first place every year.

Chu Peng came out, and the moment he came out, he saw a certain someone who was ignorant and incompetent staring at his sister and his saliva was almost flowing out. His face instantly darkened, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, “Tang Weiguo, come in!”

“What? I’ve already done my homework.”

Tang Weiguo didn’t want to go in and listen to Chu Peng recite the scriptures. He was so annoyed that he was going to die. He didn’t want to get first place either, so being the last one was fine. Anyway, he didn’t want to take the university entrance exam. His parents had already arranged his future path. After graduating from high school, he would go abroad for a few years and inherit his father’s company when he returned to China.

His father had arranged everything so well. He was willing to lie down and be a spoiled brat waiting to die. He had only lived for a few decades, so why did he have to make himself so tired?

“Come in!”

Chu Peng’s voice was cold and sharp, and the temperature in the room had dropped significantly. Chu Qiao sensed that something was wrong and glanced at him. Although his face was expressionless, she felt that this cheap little brother of hers seemed very unhappy. She didn’t know what was wrong with him again.

“Do you want some watermelon?” Chu Qiao asked out of kindness.

“No!”

Chu Peng replied coldly and gave her the back of his head. Chu Qiao didn’t think much of it. This reaction was within her expectations. She continued to eat the watermelon elegantly and watched TV. She was in a great mood.

Tang Weiguo also obediently entered the room with the watermelon in his hands. As soon as he entered the room, Chu Peng grabbed his collar and closed the door.

“I don’t care how you mess around outside, but don’t mess around in my house!”

Chu Peng’s voice was gloomy, and his usually expressionless face was very angry. He was about the same height as Tang Weiguo, and his appearance was very similar to Chu Yuanzhi. However, Chu Yuanzhi was a good person, and he always had a smile on his face. He was very popular. Chu Peng was like a ten-thousand-year-old ice cube, and he did not like to talk to people. Even the children in the family building were afraid of him.

However, the adults liked him because Chu Peng looked good and had good grades. He was the child of another family that the adults talked about.

“Are you crazy? What did I do?”

Tang weiguo slapped his brother’s hand away angrily. He looked even angrier than Chu Peng, but he felt a little guilty in his heart and avoided looking at him.

Chu Peng glared and said with a sneer, “You know what you’re doing. Don’t make me say it again.”

He was very clear about this guy’s personality. Although he wasn’t old, he had been with many people. Only this guy knew what he had done, but in Chu Peng’s heart, Tang Weiguo was no longer clean.

Just now, he was still looking at Chu Qiao lecherously. Chu Peng felt that this bastard was using his eyes to molest his sister. He was also a man, so he understood the meaning behind those eyes. Chu Qiao and Tang Weiguo were not suitable for each other at all… They were not from the same world.

Tang Weiguo smiled and asked in a low voice, “Peng, look, I’m already eighteen, and your sister is only twenty-one. I’m not qualified to be your brother-in-law. Why don’t you be my brother-in-law… ouch…”

As soon as he said that, his neck was strangled, and he almost suffocated.

“If you want to die, just say it!”

Chu Peng let go of his hand and his eyes became colder. There was even more killing intent in his eyes that were hidden under the lenses..
