Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

Shi Yan witnessed with her own eyes what it means when “rumors are as ferocious as a tiger”.

One moment he was asking if the two had kissed, and the next second they were about to kiss.

How far apart were they? She was 1.6 meters tall and Huo Ming was 1.9 meters tall. How could they kiss each other with a distance of 30 centimeters?

But it was not easy for her to come forward to explain this kind of thing, and she didn't know what Huo Ming was going to do next, so Shi Yan had to pretend that nothing had happened. She put the prepared dishes into bowls and plates, and then followed Huo Ming who had returned to put everything on the dining table.

"Your name is Shi Ying, right? What a nice name, it suits you very well, you are so cute and lovely."

When all the dishes were finally on the table, Mrs. Huo immediately spoke to Shi Yan with a smile.

Shi Yan didn't know what to reply, so she just smiled shyly.

Then Shi's mother picked up the nearest plate of vegetables. Shi Yan watched as she swallowed it without even chewing a few bites. Then she looked at Shi Yan with a slightly artificial expression and gave her a thumbs up.

"Xiao Xiao, you cooked all the dishes on the table by yourself. You are amazing. They look very appetizing and taste very good. No wonder my Xiao Ming's face seems to be a little rounder when I look at him."

"Auntie, I can only cook a few home-cooked dishes."

Shi Yan didn't want to see Mother Huo performing a one-man show with a smile on her face, so she spoke up anyway.

"Oh~ You're too modest. I just think it tastes good. And my Xiao Ming follows my taste, so he must like the food you cook."

Shi Yan didn't know whether Huo's mother said this on purpose. To be honest, she couldn't give a definite answer as to whether Huo Ming liked the food she cooked, but every time she cooked, Huo Ming would definitely eat it all up.

"Xiao Shi, this time uncle and aunt didn't know that Xiao Ming had hidden a surprise for us, so he didn't bring any gifts. Next time, let Xiao Ming come to uncle and aunt's place, and aunt will cook a few dishes for you to taste her cooking skills."

Chang Ya Shi had been sitting aside behaving obediently, only glancing at Huo Ming who was sitting diagonally opposite her from time to time. However, she did not expect to hear Huo's mother say this. Was this not a clear indication that they also approved of this little girl who appeared out of nowhere?

Then what's the point of her following here today? Aunt Huo clearly said that if she really likes Huo Ming, as long as she doesn't do anything extreme, she will help her.

"Aunt Huo, who is this little sister? Why don't you tell me? Is she the child bride that Brother Ming found for Xiaocheng?"

Chang Ya Shi didn't want to be like an invisible person and watch the person she had liked for so many years being snatched away by an unknown woman, so she took the initiative to intervene.

As soon as she opened her mouth, the expressions of the people present all looked a little bad. Huo's mother was embarrassed, Huo Cheng was angry, Huo's father was unhappy, and Huo Ming was disgusted. Only Shi Yan could still laugh, and it finally felt a little real.

She was saying, how could someone who dared to cheat and kill her husband five years later be a white flower? Doesn't this give her away?

"Aunt Huo, is this lady Brother Ming's sister? Brother Ming only said that his uncle, aunt, and brother were coming over and asked me to get ready. I really don't know who this lady is."

Shi Yan pretended to be innocent. Anyway, her face was so deceptive that no one would suspect that she did it on purpose. They just thought she was really confused.

"This is Xiaoming's distant cousin. She said she wanted to come and visit, so we brought her along. It's not a big deal. We're all relatives. Let's eat first. Otherwise, if it gets cold, it would be a waste of her thoughtfulness."

Mr. Huo, who had not expressed his opinion until now, explained casually and invited everyone to eat. The head of the family had spoken, so even if Chang Ya Shi wanted to make trouble, she had to stop now. After all, she was still living under someone else's roof. If she hadn't lived in the Huo family under the pretext of being a distant relative, she wouldn't have met Huo Ming, and it was even more impossible for her to use Huo Ming's identity to get an office job in the factory.

Because of the time bomb of Chang Ya Shi, the Huo family did not stay after dinner and left directly, leaving Shi Yan and Huo Ming alone with a table of untouched food, looking at each other in silence.

"Well, there was something wrong with what happened today. It was my problem that dragged you into my personal affairs. I'm really sorry."

After a long silence, Huo Ming was the first to apologize, and the guilt and embarrassment on his face were real.

"If there is anything you need me to compensate you for, I can try my best to do it. My parents and brother have misunderstood our relationship. I will communicate with them privately and will not let them bother you."

Huo Ming's main purpose today was to make Chang Ya Shi give up and stop bothering him.

When her mother almost died of famine when she was young, she was helped by a distant cousin. So when that cousin asked her mother to help take care of Chang Ya Shi who came to Guangzhou to work, her mother not only helped find a job that was leisurely and not tiring, but also let her live in an empty room in her home and provided her with food and drink.

But Chang Yashi didn't know when she started to have feelings for him. She even took off all her clothes and climbed into his bed one night last month. Fortunately, he was called by Huo Cheng to tutor him in the evening.

Huo Cheng knew nothing about studying. It was already midnight and he hadn't finished a single paper. Naturally, he couldn't just leave like that, so he escaped.

He came out of his brother's room in the morning and found that his bedroom door was ajar. He did not go in, but looked around the house to see if anything was missing to see if there was a thief. He also woke up everyone in the family. However, when Shi's mother went to look for Chang Ya Shi, she didn't see anyone in the room.

So he was careful when he opened the bedroom door and covered his eyes. With Huo Cheng as a witness, Chang Yashi couldn't make a fuss at all, and the matter was left unresolved. He moved in directly and lived with Huo Cheng for a few days, and then moved out to live on his own.

Although Huo Ming felt that what happened between them was very unbearable, he still briefly explained it to Shi Yan to prevent Shi Yan from making random guesses.

"Boss, then, under what circumstances do you think you would marry someone who has schemed against you?"

Shi Yan felt that since Huo Ming hated Chang Ya Shi so much, it was impossible for him to marry her in five years, so in order to satisfy her curiosity, she still asked a question.

"I can't possibly marry someone like her, unless she can really scheme against me."

The case was solved. Hearing Huo Ming's tone, Shi Yan could roughly guess what happened five years later.

"You don't have to worry about these. I've already moved out, so naturally I won't have any contact with her anymore. Or you can tell me what kind of compensation you need from me. After all, I acted on my own today."

Shi Yan was silent for a while, thinking about how to make a profit without making Huo Ming feel disgusted...

"Boss, do you really not want to get married?"
