Don't forget it, Dad! Isn't it enough to kneel down for you?

Hua Meiqing looked down and saw that it was actually a piece of talisman paper. She was a little confused for a moment.

Chu Jiaojiao patted her chest and said, "I'm a very powerful celestial master. I'm very accurate in fortune telling. One talisman costs ten thousand. Auntie, you're pretty, and I like you, so I'll give it to you for free."

She looked so proud that Hua Meiqing found it a little funny.

As if possessed by a ghost, she raised her hand and took the talisman in her hand.

Thinking of something, her face turned cold again, she took out a bank card and threw it into her hand, raising her chin and said, "I bought it, I don't need your charity."

It's just ten thousand yuan, what's there to be proud of? It's not even enough to buy her a piece of clothing.

After that she left.

Chu Jiaojiao watched her leave, then looked at the card in her hand and couldn't help but give it a kiss.

She just knows that good-looking people have kind hearts!

"This must be Jiaojiao, right?" Wang Zhen looked at her and thought of what she had just said, that she was a heavenly master, and immediately guessed her identity.

Chu Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly, took her arm in a familiar manner, and said crisply: "Auntie, I'm here to eat."

By the way, I complained: "Ji Yuanfan didn't want me to come. Are you not welcoming me too?"

"How could that be." Wang Zhen looked at her with joy. He had liked her before he saw her, and now that he saw her, he liked her even more.

She even pretended to hit Ji Yuanfan, "Don't listen to his nonsense. I'm so happy that you can come."

"I knew it!" Chu Jiaojiao shook her head proudly and looked at Ji Yuanfan provocatively. See.

Ji Yuanfan was speechless. He knew it would be like this.

With Chu Jiaojiao around, he was already a foundling.

Without saying much, he took the dishes to the kitchen, tied on an apron, and started cooking skillfully.

This was something Chu Jiaojiao had not expected. He was so aloof at school, but he was so virtuous at home.

Seeing her confusion, Wang Zhen smiled and explained, "Yuanfan has been sensible since he was young. He learned to cook at a very young age and his cooking skills are quite good. He can also make desserts. Oh, and he even made a cake before. Was it delicious?"

"Cake?" Chu Jiaojiao was a little surprised. "Didn't Auntie make that?"

Wang Zhen was also stunned, "Me?"

She shook her head. "It's not me. I'm just an average cook. Yuanfan cooks for us."

It turned out to be the case.

Chu Jiaojiao glanced at Ji Yuanfan and said, "Don't think that she will forgive him just because he did this!"

She hasn't forgotten that he lied to her and didn't give her snacks.

Ji Yuanfan didn't expect that her mother would expose her secret like this. She felt a little embarrassed, but fortunately she was facing away from them and didn't show it.

Feeling Chu Jiaojiao's gaze, I knew what she was thinking without looking back.

Ji Yuanfan was speechless and said, "Stop humming and come and help."

Wang Zhen looked at him disapprovingly, "Yuanfan, how can you let the guests do the work? I'll do it."

Chu Jiaojiao looked at her frail body, pulled her in, and placed the schoolbag in her arms. "Auntie, help me get it. I'll go. I'm a good cook too. I'll let you taste my cooking skills later."

After saying that, without waiting for her to react, he pulled Leng Wu into the kitchen.

The kitchen is not big, and with two more people, it suddenly seems crowded.

Ji Yuanfan gave the vegetables to her and Leng Wu, "You guys wash the vegetables."

Chu Jiaojiao snorted, but didn't say anything. She took it and started washing.

Ji Yuanfan watched her and saw that she moved skillfully. Thinking of the rumors he had heard, he understood.

She didn't have a good life in the Chu family, and her experiences were probably similar to his.

No, it may be even more miserable than his.

At least he wouldn't be kicked out in the middle of winter, nor would he have to live in the attic.

Thinking of this, he suddenly snatched the dish from Chu Jiaojiao's hand and said with a disdainful tone: "You're so slow to wash, let me do it."

Chu Jiaojiao glared at him in dissatisfaction. She washed slowly? Nonsense!

"Then do it yourself!" she said viciously.

What was rare was that Ji Yuanfan actually said "hmm". Chu Jiaojiao looked at him with an even stranger look, but she was not unhappy about not working.

He stood by and started finding fault, saying that he didn't wash the vegetables clean, and then that his knife skills were poor.

When the food was served, she ate so much that her belly was full.

Ji Yuanfan cleared the bowls while sending Wang Zhen out. "Mom, I forgot to buy some fruit. Go downstairs and get some."

"Okay, Jiaojiao, wait for me." Wang Zhen went out without thinking much.

After she left, Ji Yuanfan hesitated and said, "That person just now..."

He was obviously talking about Hua Meiqing.

I intentionally avoided it just now because I didn't know how to explain it.

He was called a bastard since he was a child, and he was indeed an illegitimate child.

This is a fact and he never argues.

But I still didn't expect that Chu Jiaojiao would happen to see that scene today.

He clasped his hands behind his back, clenched them slightly, and said with a numb look in his eyes, "The woman just now was my biological father's wife. He lied to my mother, saying he was single. My mother believed him and only found out he was married after she was eight months pregnant with me."

"At that time, the pregnancy was too advanced and there was no way to have an abortion, so she had to give birth to me. After that, she broke off contact with that man. He sent money, but my mother never accepted it. He would find other ways to send money to my mother. By the time my mother realized it, the money had already been spent. But we have since paid it back and we have no contact anymore."

"Until three years ago, when my mother was in poor health, he brought us to South City, and I had no choice but to have contact with him again."

Having said that, he smiled bitterly, and even he himself felt that this statement was both reasonable and valid.

I didn't want to accept his money, but I actually enjoyed it.

Even his admission into No. 1 Middle School was through his connections.

Even if he could pass the exam, no one would believe it. What they saw was just him, an illegitimate child, getting promoted.

He said all these words in one breath, without giving himself a chance to breathe. He didn't look at Chu Jiaojiao after he finished speaking, because he didn't want to see her contemptuous look.

Chu Jiaojiao touched her chin and suddenly asked, "So, when Auntie drank the poisonous medicine before, she thought it was that Auntie who gave it to her?"

Ji Yuanfan nodded. "Yes, although my mother didn't intend to be the third party, she did cause harm to Ms. Hua. She has always felt guilty towards her, so she wanted to use death to make up for it..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized something and looked at Chu Jiaojiao fiercely, "You just said that you thought it was her who did it. What do you mean by that?"

Chu Jiaojiao blinked and said, "I just looked at that aunt's face. Although she said something unpleasant, she never really hurt anyone. Did you misunderstand something?"

Hearing this, Ji Yuanfan stood there in a daze.

Suddenly, a person walked in at the door. It was Wang Zhen.

She just remembered that she forgot to bring her cell phone when she went out, and she didn't expect to hear these words.

She hurriedly looked at Chu Jiaojiao and asked, "Jiaojiao, is what you said true?"

Chu Jiaojiao nodded. "Even if it was an attempted murder, it would show on the face, but I didn't see it on that aunt's face."

Wang Zhen stood there in a daze.

She always thought that the poison was given by Hua Meiqing, so she drank it.

If not her, then who?
