“Dinner will be served soon, and Han won’t let you go all day today, only no one is watching here, and there are people outside watching your every move at all times. If you’re bored, wander around, just don’t leave the mansion.”
I had the illusion that she was the mistress of the house and the way she looked at Han Kun was full of tenderness.
Anyone who knew Han Kun would tell me that Han Kun was deeply in love with my mother, and as I was also a man, I would subconsciously substitute this feeling into my love for Chu Xiaoxiao, and if it were Chu Xiaoxiao who was not alive, I would be absolutely devastated, not to mention finding another woman to replace her, and it was hard to say whether I could even get through it.
Perhaps some men are very philandering, but I am not, she is too important to me.
So what’s the story with Ji Shaoqian? She and Han Kun are not an ordinary relationship, and her willingness to serve an old man like Liu Rong for Han Kun is too great a sacrifice.
I nodded, and Ji Shaoqian herself suddenly spoke up and asked, “Are you wondering how I can recognise your eyes?”
“The photo?”
“That’s right, I’ve seen a lot of photos of your mother, probably more than you’ve seen yourself, and I heard from Han that your aunt abused you as a child, so I don’t think she would have let you keep your mother’s photos.”
“Yeah ……”
It felt kinda weird, talking about my mum with Han Gon’s lover. I somewhat admired my mum’s unparalleled charm, all these dragons among men were charmed by her, but what I admired more was my dad, to marry a woman like my mum was definitely a winner in life.
“Han has plenty there, he won’t let you take it or show it to you. After a while he’ll take a nap and I’ll sneak you in to see it.”
I cried and laughed inside, one day I’d have to look at my mum’s pictures in secret.
“Good, sounds like you and Uncle Han know each other well.”
“You’re asking what our relationship is, right? No wonder, you must have suspected me when you saw me at Liu Rong’s that day. I used to be an English teacher, and I came to Tong City and got scammed into a lot of debt, and it just so happened that Han saved me. Han asked me to give lessons to the little girl in her house, Yin Chun, and I heard Han say she’s living at your place now.”
Her relationship with Han Kun was closer than I thought, and Yin Chun turned out to live in a villa deep in the mountains, a place that even I didn’t know about.
I froze for a moment, “It seems that Uncle Han really trusts you.”
Ji Shaoqian, who had always had a bland expression and a hint of imperceptible hostility towards me, revealed a smile at that moment.
At this time Han Kun woke up stretched out, saw the medicine on the table and asked Ji Shaoqian to hand it to her to take, Ji Shaoqian said, “Take it after lunch.”
“That’s fine. Has Third Master prepared lunch? Be careful with your lunch portions, don’t let anyone notice anything unusual, Little Chao is coming after me, we can’t possibly treat him to lunch.” Han Kun joked.
Ji Shaoqian said, “Yes, you don’t need to invite Zhang Chao for lunch, but you’ll have to invite another person.”
“Another person is coming?”
“Our people just called Master San and said that Zhang Mei is coming.”
“She’s coming?” Han Kun frowned and asked, “Coming for what?”
“To supervise my poisoning of you.”
The conversation between the two of them was a real shock to me.
When Han Kun saw my face, he smiled and explained, “Xiao Qian you’ll scare Xiao Chao to death talking like that. Liu Rong asked Xiao Qian to poison me. Last time Zhang Mei saw her, she already suspected her and offered to have Xiao Qian poison her to test if she was sincere with Liu Rong. Now Zhang Mei is uneasy and wants to come over and see Xiao Qian poison me with her own eyes.”
Ji Shaoqian had an angry look on her face and said, “That’s right, how could Liu Rong’s pig brain think of so much, it was all Zhang Mei’s idea. Zhang Chao, this aunt of yours is really ruthless.”
When it came to Zhang Mei, I hated her even more than Ji Shaoqian, she was definitely a sh*t-stirrer when she arrived.
“Don’t let her in, this woman will definitely bring trouble over. And I’m still here, if she comes over and sees me talking to you guys here, won’t it all be revealed.”
Ji Shaoqian said, “Can’t you put on an act?”
I said helplessly, “It’s not that I’m looking for an excuse, my gang can’t act as gangsters, or else they wouldn’t have been invited in by the Third Master.”
Whether they could act or not, I didn’t want Zhang Mei to come over, and my intuition over the years told me that the further away someone like Zhang Mei was from her, the safer she would be.
Han Kun said, “You don’t need to act, just take your Snow Leopard brethren and leave after a while. You just need to make a start, I’ve already arranged for the rest.”
I really didn’t want to go, how dangerous this sounded. If Zhang Mei entered the house, wouldn’t that mean Han Kun and Ji Shao Qian would really have to act out a poisoning?
Zhang Mei was not a fool, not something that could be fooled by Han Kun pretending to drink a bowl of water and then pretending to fall to the ground and fake his death.
I said, “Couldn’t you have let Zhang Mei in? Your home, if you don’t invite her in, can she smash the door?”
But Han Kun shook his head and said, “I can’t. Zhang Mei hasn’t come to my door for so many years, and today she came out of the blue, she definitely came prepared, and she brought something I wanted.”
I asked out of the blue, “Another thing my mother left behind?”
Honestly, I’m convinced that these people are so old that they’re still acting out their love for each other.
Even if my mum was still alive, she was already married to my dad and didn’t need these backups.
Han Kun seems to have lived his whole life for my mother and Yin’s family. I really want to ask him if he is tired, can’t he live a little for himself?
Ji Shaoqian’s face quickly clouded over, but Han Kun smiled gently, “That’s right. Little Chao, take a back seat, don’t let me kick you out.”
I said, “I won’t leave even if you kick me out.”
This was a joke, using his life as a toy. I think if he keeps tossing and turning like this, he’ll kill himself without waiting for the cancer to kick in.
I sat down with a big horse, my attitude was clear, carry me out if you can.
The two big, tall men really pushed out the door from the next room.
I was already very tall, and these two men were even taller than me, standing next to me like two small mountains.
“Uncle Han you really don’t want to force me, don’t look at these two men as tall, if they really fight me, ten of them won’t be enough for me to beat.”
I wasn’t bragging, such tall and strong men could only visually scare people, but it would never be possible to really subdue me.
