I became beautiful by eating melons

Chapter 783 Familiar Smell of Rice

The man who came in was tall, with a serious face and deep wrinkles on his brows. He strode in, carrying with him the smell of cigarettes and the heat from outside.

He threw the key on the cabinet at the door, changed his shoes and then noticed the stranger in the living room.

His already deeply wrinkled brows were furrowed even more.

Li Yayun, who had been hiding in the house, opened the door and ran out as soon as she heard the noise at the door: "Uncle!"

As if to complain: "They..."

Li Cheng interrupted her and said unhappily, "You are already married, why are you still making such a fuss?"

Li Yayun was scolded so harshly that her lips were pouted so much that a soy sauce bottle could be hung on them.

"Okay, there are guests here, husband, please stop talking."

Jiang Ruoliu came forward tenderly and said softly, "Husband, Comrades Ye Rou and Sun Baiqing brought Chang Hua to visit our home."

The man's cold eyes fell on Chang Hua. His eyes without any emotion made Chang Hua hide in Ye Rou's arms.

Seeing her like this, the man said unhappily: "Why are you so timid?"

"You scared her." Jiang Ruoliu said with a smile, pulling Li Cheng to sit down, and then said to Chang Hua: "Don't be afraid of the child, he is not mean to you."

Chang Hualian buried his face in Ye Rou's arms, not saying a word.

This caused Li Cheng to look at Ye Rou. When he saw Ye Rou's beautiful face that was slightly enchanting, a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes.

He was old-fashioned and subconsciously disliked seeing a woman with a seductive look like Ye Rou.

Ye Rou narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling unhappy. She wanted to make things difficult for the two of them, so she deliberately asked, "Mrs. Jiang likes children so much, why doesn't she have one herself? Is she not feeling well?"

The question was too direct and not something Ye Rou would say, which made Sun Baiqing look at her.

Realizing that Ye Rou was deliberately doing something bad, Sun Baiqing also cooperated and asked, "I think Madam Jiang is still young and can have her own child. After all, adopted children are different from biological children."

Ye Rou stared closely at their reactions.

Li Cheng reacted strongly to her touching of his sore spot. His face immediately darkened, and he did not hide the displeasure and rejection in his eyes at all. He looked like he was about to drive them out.

The reaction was expected, but Jiang Ruoliu's reaction was a little unexpected.

She put her hands on her belly, looking exhausted, but Ye Rou did not miss the light that flashed across her eyes.

It doesn't seem like he's touching on a sore spot, but rather like he's looking forward to this topic.

Among the people present, Ye Rou was the only one who noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Ruoliu.

Jiang Ruoliu put her hands on her belly, her eyebrows drooped gently, her eyelashes trembling, as if she had mentioned something extremely sad, unable to hide her frustration: "Not having children is the biggest regret of my life."

Li Cheng felt sorry for Jiang Ruoliu. Upon hearing this, he immediately put his arms around Jiang Ruoliu's slender shoulders, held her in his arms and patted her lovingly.

Jiang Ruoliu buried herself in Li Cheng's arms and said dejectedly, "Hubby, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's not your fault." Li Cheng hurriedly coaxed him.

The two of them hugged each other tightly, and Sun Baiqing had to pinch his legs hard to hide his disgusted expression.

No wonder she always felt that this Mrs. Jiang was familiar.

The case was solved. She and Chi Keke followed the same path.

Chi Keke is the same, she looks weak and speaks softly, but in fact she is very good at manipulating people. She will find any opportunity to play pitiful to Ye Rou and make Ye Rou feel sorry for her. She is afraid of scaring her when she speaks loudly to her.

Among the little fairies surrounding Ye Rou, Sun Baiqing and Chi Keke are the most incompatible.

Thinking about it in this way, Sun Baiqing understood.

Mrs. Jiang clearly wanted to use the adoption to hint to Li Cheng about her sacrifice and make the man feel sorry for her.

It was probably because Li Chengguan was promoted to another level and the temptations outside increased, so Mrs. Jiang came up with this idea.

Adopting a child can build her reputation as kind and virtuous, and when Li Cheng sees the child, he will think of Jiang Ruoliu's pain of not being able to have children, and will love her even more.

Killing two birds with one stone, Chang Hua is just a tool for Jiang Ruoliu to show off.

Sun Baiqing and Ye Rou both understood it, but there were still two confused people present.

In addition to Li Cheng, who kept hugging Madam Jiang and coaxing her, there was also Li Yayun.

Seeing her aunt sad, she, who had always been at odds with Ye Rou, naturally attacked Ye Rou: "You are not a reporter, why are you asking all these questions? Are you happy that my aunt is unhappy?"

Ye Rou smiled slightly and said calmly: "Sorry, after all, you are going to adopt a child, so it is better to ask these questions clearly."

"Enough!" Li Benben felt sorry for Jiang Ruoliu for not being able to have her own children. When he heard Ye Rou frequently bring up this topic, he could no longer bear it and wanted to drive the two away immediately.

Jiang Ruoliu quickly pulled him back and whispered in his ear, "Secretary Zhang sent her here today."

Li Cheng understood this just a brief sentence, which was a hint that Ye Rou had a good relationship with Mayor Du and should not be offended.

Li Cheng forced himself to swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, his face turning dark red from holding it in.

Jiang Ruoliu was thoughtful and knew Li Cheng very well. She knew that he was embarrassed, so she quickly tried to smooth things over, "Comrade Ye, you are right. After all, the person we adopted is a child, not a cat or a dog. It is right to be cautious."

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I tell you this, but due to... some reasons, I can't have children. I've been trying for years, but to no avail. I won't have my own children in the future. After adopting Changhua, she will be my own daughter. I will never treat her harshly. You can rest assured about this."

Li Yayun stared at Chang Hua and asked critically, "If that crazy woman hadn't poisoned my aunt, do you think she would have gotten such a good thing?"

"Crazy woman, poisoned?"

Sun Baiqing was a vengeful person. She still remembered the show of power before they entered the door. Now that she found the clues, she naturally would not let it go. She immediately asked:

"Mrs. Jiang was poisoned? Who was it? How dare they do that? Why?"

Li Yayun was a fool, so she said immediately, "It happened more than 20 years ago. It was a crazy woman who liked my uncle and was jealous of my aunt. She took advantage of my grandparents not paying attention and put a rat in the water..."

"Bang!" The sound of dishes breaking in the kitchen interrupted her words.

Everyone looked over, but the kitchen door was closed and they couldn't see what was going on inside.

Huang Ma, who was standing nearby, reacted the fastest and said immediately, "Madam, I'll go take a look."

After saying that, she quickly walked to the kitchen, opened the door, and the rich aroma of rice wafted out, making people drool.

Ye Rou's face changed slightly and she stared at the kitchen.

No one noticed her loss of composure at the moment, and Sun Baiqing exclaimed at the right time: "It smells so good! It smells even better than the food cooked by the chef I hired for my family!"

Jiang Ruoliu smiled and said, "This is our newly hired auntie. She cooks delicious food. You two must stay and try it."

Ye Rou calmly withdrew her gaze, hiding the surprise in her eyes, and changed the subject: "Mrs. Jiang, Xiaohua and Ah Fu have a good relationship, and the two children don't want to be separated. What do you think about this?"
