Chapter 143 Call me husband again
"Of course." Huo Yunzheng approached her and kissed her.
"Are you scared?"
Although she appeared calm in the car, Huo Yunzheng could see that she was feeling uneasy.
Especially after what happened last time, she couldn't sleep well for a few nights.
Qiao Chuchu shook her head and smiled, "You will protect me and Ziyan. With my husband here, I am not afraid."
Huo Yunzheng's eyes were full of tenderness, "Call me again."
Qiao Chuchu looked at him, not understanding what was wrong with this man.
"Why? Don't I usually yell?"
They are a legal couple, and calling him by this name is the most normal thing to do. Why does this man act like he's hearing it for the first time?
"I just can't hear enough, is that okay?" Huo Yunzheng said shamelessly, "Come on, shout a few more times."
"Don't shout, don't shout. I'm going to cook. Get out of the way."
"Baby, just shout once more." Huo Yunzheng refused to move.
"husband--"
There was a voice coming from the kitchen door, but it was not Qiao Chuchu's voice.
They both turned their heads and looked at the little guy standing there.
Qiao Chuchu burst into laughter and couldn't even hold the spatula steadily.
Huo Yunzheng's face was gloomy.
"Huo Ziyan!"
President Huo gritted his teeth and for the first time thought of spanking his son.
Huo Ziyan stuck out his tongue, "Shame on you, Daddy!"
He didn't mean to do it, he just wanted to drink the yogurt and accidentally heard it.
He is a father at such an old age, but he still acts like a spoiled child with his mother. This is obviously his exclusive right. Humph!
"Mom, your husband glared at me and the baby was scared." Huo Ziyan noticed his father's fierce eyes and quickly asked for help.
Qiao Chuchu protected her son, brought him yogurt and chocolate cake, and let him go to the living room to play.
Then, she turned to look at her husband, stood on tiptoe and kissed him, "Husband."
Just one sound, and President Huo's mood turned from gloomy to cheerful.
……
Joe's house.
Qiao Chuchu brought a lot of gifts this time, not just for her uncle, she also prepared gifts for her aunt and uncle.
Although she had some unpleasantness with her uncle and aunt before, they were her elders after all. For the sake of her deceased adoptive parents, she would not be lacking in etiquette.
Qiao Zhengrong specially arranged a family dinner. Today is the weekend, and except for his aunt who works out of town and Qiao Tianlin who is abroad, everyone else is here.
Zhou Su quickly greeted, "Chu Chu, please sit down. I'll pour you some tea."
"Chu Chu, try these strawberries. Your aunt had people pick them from the garden. They're very fresh." Qiao Zhengjun was not to be outdone and poked Li Xiao's arm twice. The other party immediately placed a plate of washed strawberries in front of Qiao Chuchu.
Because of Qiao Chuchu's relationship with the Jing family, Zhou Su and her uncle's family were particularly enthusiastic towards her.
On the contrary, Huo Yunzheng was completely ignored.
Qiao Chuchu has not yet told the Qiao family the true identity of her husband.
"Chu Chu, Jing City is a good place. Your cousin said the other day that she is going to take the entrance exam for a school in Jing City and will come to live with you. You must take good care of your sister when the time comes." Li Xiao smiled and signaled to his daughter beside him with his eyes.
"Yes, cousin, I've seen the news. Your family is really great and has such a big business. If I get into college, can you help me find a job?"
Qiao Chuchu glanced at her. How old was she, yet she was thinking so far ahead? Her words and deeds revealed that she was relying on connections. It seemed that her uncle and aunt did not teach the child well at home.
"Tongtong, your cousin loves you the most, needless to say, you should learn more from your cousin." Li Xiao echoed, and then looked at Qiao Chuchu, "Chuchu, our Tongtong will rely more on you to take care of her in the future."
Without the need for Qiao Chuchu to answer, Second Aunt Qiao Mengjie spoke first.
She has always disliked Li Xiao. Children of this age are at the stage of establishing their values, world outlook, and outlook on life. Instead of teaching them the good things, she has taught them a lot of shortcuts.
"Let's wait until your daughter gets into college first. She hasn't even started yet. Did she take the final exam? How high did she score?"
Li Xiao remained silent. She knew very well how her daughter's grades were.
Unable to confront Qiao Mengjie, Li Xiao's eyes fell on Huo Yunzheng who was standing aside, and he asked deliberately: "Yunzheng is also going to follow our Chuchu back to Beijing this time, right? What about your store?"
"That's right. Chuchu is the eldest daughter of the Jing family. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law will definitely arrange a job for you. It doesn't matter whether you want the store or not. Has it been transferred?"
These words were clearly meant to mock Huo Yunzheng for being a gigolo who now relied on the Jing family and Qiao Chuchu.
When Qiao Chuchu heard this, she immediately became angry.
"Aunt, you really worry too much. Didn't you say last time that your heart wasn't in good condition? If you're not feeling well, you should stop caring about other people's affairs. It's exhausting to worry about so many things all the time."
Li Xiao shut up silently, but secretly scolded Qiao Chuchu.
She was speaking for her, but this damn girl didn't appreciate it at all.
"Yun Zheng, it's a great blessing for you to marry Chu Chu. If you tell others about it, they will be envious to death." Zhou Su also deliberately provoked.
She always regretted not letting her son take Qiao Chuchu down.
Who knew Qiao Chuchu would be the daughter of a wealthy family? She was so regretful!
Just as Qiao Chuchu was about to speak, Huo Yunzheng held her hand and asked her to calm down.
In fact, he himself was not affected by these words at all and continued to peel peanut shells for his wife.
"You are right. It is indeed my blessing that Chuchu married me."
Zhou Su snorted coldly. This guy was just pretending. He had clearly gotten a great advantage, but he still wanted to act nice in front of others.
Qiao Shuiqing glanced at Zhou Su. This stepmother was just like that. She liked to be sarcastic and only had money in her eyes, so she only saw benefits.
Last night, she said in front of them that she wanted Chuchu to take the house that her uncle left for her.
Perhaps because she was concerned about her uncle and second aunt being present today, Zhou Su didn't feel comfortable speaking up, so she hasn't mentioned it yet.
But this woman is really a thief!
Although Chuchu was adopted by Uncle San, she was no different from his biological child. The house was the only thought they left for Chuchu. Even so, Zhou Su still kept thinking about her and didn't care about her at all.
My uncle and second uncle had been busy in the kitchen. When the food was ready, everyone took their seats.
Qiao Shuiqing also brought a small cartoon-shaped bowl for Huo Ziyan to hold his rice and asked him to sit with his daughter.
The child ate little and his mind was on the cartoons. He left the table after taking only a few bites.
Huo Yunzheng didn't eat much either, he just picked up some food for Qiao Chuchu and peeled shrimps.
Qiao Zhengjun noticed his actions, sneered, and made some sarcastic remarks.
"Yun Zheng is really good at taking care of people. He serves Chuchu so well. The Jing family will definitely cherish you after seeing this."
Qiao Mengjie glanced at the man and always felt that there was something wrong with the Lao Wu couple's brains.
They want to curry favor with Chu Chu and the Jing family, but they look down on Chu Chu's husband and want to sow discord between the couple. How can this be logical?
Or is it that the couple are mentally unbalanced and feel pleasure from deliberately belittling others?
I'm afraid they have forgotten that Yun Zheng gave them such a valuable gift when he first came to their house.
When accepting things from others, he was full of praise, but now he is trying to sow discord everywhere and has a two-faced attitude, which is disgusting.
This couple should go to a mental hospital right away!
