Chapter 35 This Family Can't Live Without Him

When Chu Hong, Lu Kai and others came back, the family was ready to have lunch.

Today's lunch is particularly sumptuous.

There was a plate of braised lion's head on the table. The brightly colored lion's head caught Ji Ning's attention and brought back some not-so-pleasant memories from last time.

No matter who made it, it wouldn’t be as delicious as her mother’s. Ji Ning didn’t try it and even felt a little unhappy.

Butler Li was standing nearby. He usually didn't interfere in his master's affairs, but today he was so anxious that he was sweating.

This is specially made for the young lady, how can she not try it?

The young master did the same, just gave instructions and left.

How can he always do such things to hide his achievements and fame?

Butler Li became anxious and slightly changed the position of the dishes.

This family would be completely useless without him.

The dishes were already placed in front of her. They smelled so delicious that they whetted Ji Ning's taste buds. Her chopsticks were only a few centimeters away from the plate.

Although she didn't have any expectations, she still took a bite, and suddenly, her eyebrows softened, "Mom, did you make this?"

The meat with a mixture of fat and lean meat is paired with water chestnuts, mushrooms and other ingredients to be made into meatballs, which are then fried and then boiled. The proportions must be just right, otherwise the sweetness and chewiness will not be just right.

Chu Hong hadn't forgotten what happened last time, and there was a hint of embarrassment on her face. "No."

"Why are they so similar?"

Chu Hong suddenly remembered that Zhou Jingmo asked her for the formula last time and she wrote it down on a piece of paper. She immediately smiled and said, "Jingmo is thoughtful. He asked me for the formula last time. Look how good he was to you."

Ji Ning's expression changed slightly.

The Zhou family members looked at each other. Zhou's father was also there today. He had just returned from a meeting out of town.

Is this something his son would do?

Ji Wei's reaction was even greater, she felt like she was struck by lightning.

That man, who was aloof and aloof, always like a cold crane, with only work in his eyes, would he pay attention to such trivial details?

As if unwilling to give up, she picked up some with chopsticks and took a bite, and it was exactly the same.

The jealousy is overwhelming.

So she couldn't help it...

Zhou Zhixi saw Ji Wei was about to reach out with her chopsticks, so she quickly picked up the plate and said angrily, "This is what my brother prepared for his wife-in-law. I saw you eat six!"

Mother Zhou: "..."

If it were under normal circumstances, she would definitely scold her daughter for such stingy behavior, and at most she would make another dish.

But today's dish of braised lion head is not ordinary. It is not an ordinary braised lion head.

Ah! That is clearly Jing Mo's full love!

Zhou's mother ate her meal silently, pretending she saw nothing and heard nothing.

Seeing that no one supported her, Ji Wei immediately became jealous and looked at Chu Hong, "Mom, I just happen to like eating braised lion's head. I didn't mean it. I accidentally ate a little more."

Normally, she would only eat two or three pieces of this kind of meat, but now it made her throat uncomfortable, but she still wanted to stuff it into her mouth.

Why should all the good things belong to Ji Ning? She has to eat them even if she can’t eat them.

Chu Hong's face froze.

This is someone else's home, how can she make the decision?

But what Ji Wei said seemed very impolite.

But these words reminded Chu Hong of what Ji Wei mentioned last time. When she lived with her father, she seldom ate meat, so it was understandable that she wanted to eat it.

"Okay, you're already married, why are you still so childish? When we get home, mom will make it for you."

"Mom, it's my fault. I shouldn't have eaten my sister's. I didn't know she would care about a few lion heads. I thought..." Ji Wei's eyes drooped and she sobbed, but no tears fell. "I thought...my sister had eaten the lion heads made by mom for so many years, she would be tired of it and would be willing to give me some."

After hearing this, Chu Hong felt even worse.

What does it mean to give her some? Does she think Ji Ning is giving her alms?

If the child had stayed with her at that time, she would definitely treat him equally.

Zhou Zhixi curled her lips.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with Ji Wei's attitude before, but now it seems that she is clearly targeting Ji Ning.

It would have been fine if she didn't know Ji Ning before, but now she knows.

Just as she was about to speak, Ji Ning spoke before her, "Sister, why would I care about just a few lion heads?"

"But what I care about is Zhou Jingmo's love for me." As she was speaking, the tears in her eyes suddenly slid down, each "pearl" telling of endless sadness, and her voice trembled, "You said that before, Fu Tao, you wanted to interfere, but now you even want to..."

These tears stunned everyone at the table.

Zhou Zhixi was close to her and hurriedly handed her a handkerchief. Zhou's mother poured her some water and stroked her trembling back. It was really not easy for this child.

This is the grievance that has been suppressed for a long time.

Ji Wei scratched her palms but couldn't squeeze out a single tear.

Damn it, I really don’t know how Ji Ning did it!

Chu Hong looked helpless. "Ningning, I told you that the past is in the past. Don't take everything personally and bring up the past."

After Ji Ning said this, Chu Hong also felt that Ji Wei's attitude was somewhat problematic, but she should not have embarrassed her sister in front of so many people. They are a family.

If she was unhappy in the Zhou family, in times of crisis, the only ones who could help her would be Ji Wei and Lu Xing.

Her mother's family is her retreat and her eternal support. How come she never understands this?

It is natural for sisters to compete for favor, but they are all minor quarrels. When encountering major issues, they still have to rely on kinship. After all, blood is thicker than water!

Lu Xing couldn't stand it anymore. After all, the child couldn't keep his words to himself. "Mom, why are you so biased?"

Chu Hong glared at him fiercely. Look! Ji Ning's words successfully broke up the family and divided it into two factions.

Can't she just mind her own business and tell her in private if there's anything you want to say?

Zhou's mother acted as the peacemaker, "Okay, okay, let's stop here."

Since Zhou's mother said so, Chu Hong naturally couldn't say anything else.

As the family walked out of the door, Lu Kai frowned, "Chu Hong, you should apologize to Ning Ning."

"It's Ji Ning who's going too far. Why did she have to say it in front of the Zhou family when there was something that couldn't be said in private? Originally, this matter had already been exposed. If she keeps bringing it up, it's like there's a rift between the sisters that's going to get bigger and bigger." Chu Hong looked disappointed. "I used to think Ningning was a sensible child. People in the compound said that I spoiled her, but I didn't believe it. Now it seems that I really did spoil her."

Ji Wei covered her face and sobbed, but still without tears. "I shouldn't have come today. I made my sister angry. I am guilty. But I really want to make peace with her. If I had held back and not eaten so much meat..."

Lu Xing put his hands on his hips and glared at her: How dare you cry? You have no shame!

Chu Hong glanced over, her sharp eyes pointed directly at Ji Wei, "And you."
