He Jing heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest. She said with great joy,
“That’s good. It seems that I was overthinking.”
He Zhou felt deeply humiliated. At the same time, there was an invisible slap on his face. Every word he said was filled with deep resentment, “Do you look down on me?”
He Jing smiled lightly, her eyes clear. “Third brother, only people who have a perfect understanding of each other can be the best partners. If we get together, we’ll only quarrel. We can’t focus on cooking.”
He Zhou was inexplicably unwilling. “Do I have to build a good relationship with you and do whatever you say if I want to be your partner?”
He Jing tilted her head and thought about it seriously. She answered, “At the very least, you can’t dislike me.” He Zhou was speechless.
He couldn’t come up with any words.
He Zhou could only watch helplessly as He Jing and Yan Hanxi left the competition venue.
As soon as they stepped out of the building, the Zhou family’s car was already parked in front of the building. Mr. Zhou was smoking as he waited there. When he saw that there was an additional person beside He Jing, he didn’t pay too much attention. He just greeted her with a smile.
“Miss He Jing, you didn’t let me down. Thanks to you, Zhou’s Restaurant was able to survive this crisis. I’m willing to pay you an additional 200,000 yuan. I wonder if Miss He Jing is interested…”
Yan Hanxi interrupted him and refuted He Jing, “Not interested. Her goal is to study hard and make progress every day.”
Mr. Zhou then looked at Yan Hanxi. He felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen him before. He asked hesitantly, “You
Yan Hanxi said indifferently, “My surname is Yan.”
Mr. Zhou sucked in a breath of cold air. Then, he became even more enthusiastic. “So it’s the famous Young Master Yan. I didn’t expect you to be here. My Xue’er is in school. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of her.”
Yan Hanxi snorted silently. He didn’t embarrass him. He looked at He Jing slowly and was about to take her away when He Jing said, “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhou. I really can’t care about anything else except my studies.
I’m really sorry.”
Mr. Zhou had no choice but to give up on the idea. He forced a smile. “It’s alright. I hope we can work together again next time.”
He Jing thought to herself, “I’m afraid there’s no chance. The 200,000 yuan I earned is enough for the He family’s expenses for the next five years. If it’s not necessary, I won’t represent anyone else in the competition.’
In the end, He Jing declined the Zhou family’s luxury car and took the bus home.
He Zhou hadn’t arrived home yet.
He Ning was sitting on the sofa watching television, while He Chen was supervising He Xiaoguo’s homework.
He Sui and He Yi were nowhere to be found. He Jing came in and asked, and He Ning said, “Aunt has something over there and asked them to go over and help.
Why are you back so early? Where’s Third Brother?”
He Jing didn’t know if she should tell him the truth about her competition.
While He Jing was hesitating, He Ning suddenly called out, “Third brother.”
He Jing subconsciously turned around and saw He Zhou standing behind her with a gloomy face. He looked gloomy and unapproachable. He Ning called out to him, but he pretended not to hear him. He walked past He Jing and returned to his room to close the door.
Before He Chen and He Xiaoguo could react, they looked up and he was already gone. They were both a little uneasy.
The entire living room fell silent. He Ning frowned and stood up from the sofa.
“I’ll go take a look.”
With that, he quickly followed..
