Chapter 1143: Chapter 1143: Conveying Feelings Through Glances
“I’ll take them.” It’s a bit far to the Youth Palace, and she didn’t feel comfortable letting the two little girls go by themselves, so Su Xiu stood up to take them.
“I’ll take them! I need to go to the hospital anyway, and it’s on the way,” Zhou Hengyang said.
“Alright then.”
“Oh! Brother-in-law will take us.” The Little sister jumped up excitedly, approached Zhou Hengyang, and with sparkling eyes, she looked up at him, “Brother-in-law, will you drive us there? Every time, Xiaoming in our class brags about his family having a small car, and I hate her showing off so much.”
Since the school was close by, the two little girls could already walk to school together, and they didn’t need an adult to take them.
So Zhou Hengyang hadn’t driven them even once before.
It was only on the registration day that Zhou Hengguang and Xu Xiaoxiao had driven them separately, but at that time the kids didn’t know each other and didn’t have the chance to show off.
Zhou Hengyang nodded, “Hmm!”
Su Xiu wanted to reprimand the girls, telling them not to compete vainly with their classmates, but it wasn’t appropriate to speak out in front of her brother-in-law, fearing that saying too much might make him angry. She had to suppress it and wait for the evening, and let the Second sister give the girls a severe lesson.
One must be down to earth and not compete with others.
“Why do you need to go to the hospital?” Su Wen asked with concern.
“Hengguang is back. He didn’t come home after getting off the plane last night, went straight to the hospital to be admitted,” Zhou Hengyang said, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, clearly in a bad mood.
Su Wen was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help glancing at Su Qing, only to find that the girl was eating as usual, completely indifferent, as if she hadn’t heard.
Internally, she was impressed.
Impressive! Even stronger than she had imagined.
That’s how a woman should be, ruthless to enemies, and not soft on oneself either.
Frankly, Su Wen was very satisfied with her sister’s indifference.
If Su Qing had acted as if she had lost her soul, desperately distressed for shameless Zhou Hengguang, she, as the Big sister, would definitely be angry. Naturally, she would not treat shameless Zhou Hengguang kindly, and having her husband beat him up would be necessary.
Her sister was being bullied, yet Su Wen didn’t confront shameless Zhou Hengguang, because her sister’s performance was commendable.
Well done, one must be cold-hearted to the end.
Su Wen was suddenly tapped by Zhou Hengyang beside her and turned her head, looking at him puzzled.
Why are you tapping me?
Don’t gloat over misfortune.
I’m not.
I’m not blind.
The couple communicated with eye gestures, back and forth.
However, was Su Qing, focused on eating, really as indifferent as she seemed?
Of course not.
She just knew that the Big sister would watch her, so she hid it especially well.
Actually, from a young age, she was the one in the family who could best conceal her deepest thoughts.
When she first heard from her brother-in-law that someone was hospitalized, Su Qing’s heart skipped fiercely, and she suddenly lost all appetite.
“Alright, I’m full.”
“I’m full too.”
“I’ll do the dishes.”
“I’ll clean the table.”
“And me.”
Quickly, everyone cooperated and finished the household chores, and Zhou Hengyang was already waiting at the door, standing on the steps enjoying the snow. Su Wen, being the slowest because she had to put on makeup and change clothes, looked just as dressed up as her sister Su Qing, with one hand holding each as they went out the door.
Zhou Hengyang personally took the role of the driver, dropping people at the Youth Palace and then at the shop in the public square.
The shop is opening tomorrow. Everything is ready, Yao Fang was already there with Dai Hongqin and three other staff members working as usual. Although it’s not yet open to the public, the barriers that had been around the main entrance were already removed, revealing the newly renovated interior.
