849 “After Fast Traveling and Sleeping with the Villain” World Sixteen, Two Brothers (11)

Wang Lihua is back.

With Zhao Heping.

Xue Xue originally wanted to pick him up at the airport, but was scolded by Wang Lihua on the phone.

“You should hurry up and study. There is no need to do this.”

People have said this, and Xue Xue certainly will not ask for trouble.

“Oh.”

After hanging up the phone, she sat back at the desk.

The book is open, but Xue Xue is not in the mood to read now.

Although he has never met Wang Lihua in person, after several phone calls, Xue Xue felt that she seemed different from the mother in Xue Qi’s memory.

That’s why she couldn’t wait to meet him to confirm her thoughts.

See whether it comes out of nothing or whether it comes from something.

But everyone is back, and they can’t escape anyway.

No need to rush.

Xue Xue told herself this.

After taking a deep breath, she refocused her attention on the math problem in front of her.

“Where is Zhao Heping?”

Hearing this, Wang Lihua glanced at her strangely.

Xue Xue quickly realized his slip of the tongue.

“Don’t you always call me brother?”

“…I’m so quick to talk.”

Regarding her explanation, Wang Lihua didn’t know whether she believed it or not, so she just smiled.

“He was originally on the same flight as me, but his dad called him in the morning. Maybe something happened, so he changed the time and won’t arrive until the evening.”

“Oh.”

Xue Xue noticed that Wang Lihua’s tone when she mentioned her father, Zhao Jiancheng, was no different.

Even a little indifferent.

Is this really what Xue Qi remembers as a child, the woman who always circled Zhao Jiancheng like a butterfly surrounding a flower?

However, since the child was lost, Wang Lihua’s attitude towards Zhao Jiancheng, and even towards Xue Qi and her two stepsons, has indeed undergone subtle changes.

However, she later moved to Jingnan and spent much less time with Xue Qi.

“What, do you miss your big brother? Do you feel disappointed that you didn’t see anyone?” Her silence clearly caused Wang Lihua to misunderstand.”I thought you didn’t like He Ping that much.”

“It seems that it is really difficult to guess the thoughts of adolescent girls, haha.”

Faced with Wang Lihua’s teasing, Xue Xue just kept quiet.

If we want to compare favorability, Xue Qi actually prefers Zhao Heping in his heart.

It’s just that Zhao Heping feels like an unreachable star to her. Even if she knows that the other person is not indifferent on the surface, she still subconsciously keeps a distance.

As for Zhao Hean…

“By the way, I have to ask Lao Chen to book a restaurant for us to have dinner together tonight.”

Everyone?

Hearing this word, Xue Xue had a bad premonition in his heart.

“What’s your expression?” Noticing the change in her daughter’s face, Wang Lihua covered her mouth and chuckled.”Although you and He An may see each other quite often, He Ping and I haven’t seen him for more than half a year.”

“As a family, we need to get together.”

Xue Xue, who could not refuse Wang Lihua’s words, could only smile perfunctorily.

This was the first time she saw Zhao He’an since the last time they broke up on bad terms.

“Aunt Hua.” The man waved hello cheerfully as soon as he entered the door.”Xiao Qi.”

It was as if the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two that day was just a scene imagined by Xue Xue himself.

“Hey.” Wang Lihua said angrily: “Why don’t you say hello to your second brother?”

“…”

“It’s okay, Xiao Qi and I see each other often.” Zhao He’an brushed his hair.”It’s just that I might have made her angry last time.”

“Oh?” Wang Lihua seemed interested.”What happened?”

“That’s it…”

“It’s okay!” Xue Xue interrupted him directly.”I just fell into a trance, second brother, I’m sorry.”

Although it was clear that Zhao He’an did it on purpose, Xue Xue still didn’t dare to gamble.

After all, this person is unpredictable and sometimes crazy. If he really talks about it, it will be difficult to deal with it.

She couldn’t afford the gamble.

Just like that time, Zhao He’an threatened Xue Qi with their bed photos.

As long as someone is shameless enough, it is really difficult to deal with them.

Zhao He’an also knew this very well.

Seeing Xue Xue lying to Wang Lihua despite his ugly face, he became obviously happy, and even Wang Lihua noticed it.

“What’s wrong?”

“No, it’s okay.” He flicked the car keys on his finger and whistled nonchalantly.”I drove here, just take my car and go there.”

Because the plane was delayed, Zhao Heping only arrived in the second half of the flight.

Wang Lihua likes spicy food and prefers Sichuan food, but Xue Qi is just the opposite and cannot tolerate spicy food.

So mother and daughter don’t often go out to eat together because it’s troublesome.

This time they chose a private restaurant. The owner had a personal relationship with Zhao Jiancheng and had entertained the Zhao family several times. He specifically asked the chef to prepare the dishes according to the tastes of several people.

But for Xue Xue, as long as Zhao He’an is around, no matter how delicious the food is, it will taste like crap.

Fortunately, Xue Qi was not a talkative person, so her reticence was not out of the ordinary except for a few words spoken by Wang Lihua.

Embarrassing identity and plastic relationship. Even though it has been ten years, the happy appearance is still not so natural.

But maybe only Xue Xue feels this way.

What’s amazing is that if an outsider comes into the private room, they may feel that Wang Lihua and Zhao He’an, who are not related by blood, are more like mother and son.

As for myself who is silent and seems quite reserved, she is more like an outsider.

The moment this thought flashed across his mind, Xue Xue felt as if he had caught something.

But…

“Sorry, I’m late.”

The man pushed open the door and walked in. There was still moisture on his black windbreaker. His appearance was somewhat similar to Zhao He’an, but compared to Zhao He’an’s sharp edge, he appeared more restrained and calm, and his facial features were softer.

This was the first time Xue Xue met Xue Qi’s nominal eldest brother, Zhao Heping.
