At fifty, she remarried into a wealthy family; her ex-husband knelt down and begged for reconciliati

Chapter 188 White lies

I went outside and saw my daughter with her head buried in the sofa, clutching her phone and calling out to me.

He Qiaoyun's expression at this moment was similar to that of a cat, full of confusion.

"Are you having an epileptic seizure?" she asked.

Xu Hemei looked up, her face as red as a boiled shrimp. It didn't look like she had an epileptic seizure; it looked more like she had a fever.

Just now, she received a friend request from Chen Jingzhou. After adding him as a friend, he sent her two videos without saying a word.

In the video, I'm hugging my cat and crying my heart out.

I've lost all face; I wish I could disappear into a crack in the ground.

He Qiaoyun walked over and reached out to feel her forehead. "Do you have a fever?"

Xu Hemei collapsed, looking up at the sky in despair, and said, "I'd rather have a fever myself. I swear here today that I will never drink again. It's too shameful, too shameful!"

He Qiaoyun chuckled, ignored her, and turned back to her room to continue changing clothes.

Xu Hemei lay on the sofa and replied to Chen Jingzhou: "This is too embarrassing. Name your price and delete the backup."

Chen Jingzhou: [It's not shameful, it's quite cute.]

Xu Hemei: [...]

A short while later, the cat food and litter she ordered arrived via express delivery.

She opened the cupboard, took out a plate, poured in the cat food, and squeezed in a cat treat. The kitten's eyes lit up as it ate, and it quickly finished the small plate of cat food.

"You finished eating so quickly, you can really eat."

As she spoke, she poured half a plate of food for the kitten, then filmed a video and sent it to Chen Jingzhou: "[It can really eat.]"

Chen Jingzhou: [Are you really going to keep it?]

Xu Hemei: [Yeah, my mom said it can use the toilet. Such a smart kitten, I'll keep it.]

Chen Jingzhou: [He's indeed quite smart.]

He Qiaoyun came out after getting dressed and saw her daughter still sitting there. She asked, "What are your plans for today?"

Xu Hemei, holding the cat, said, "I don't know. I'll take the kitten to the hospital for a check-up first, then I won't go out with you."

Seeing her disheveled appearance and smell of alcohol, He Qiaoyun said helplessly, "At least take a shower. Even the cats dislike you."

Xu Hemei stood up. "Oh, I know."

He Qiaoyun was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore. "I'm going downstairs to eat first. You should come down early too, so you don't miss breakfast."

Xu Hemei: "I won't go downstairs, I'll just order breakfast service."

He Qiaoyun: "Whatever you say."

She went downstairs to the self-service restaurant, grabbed some breakfast items, and rejoined the group.

A group of people sat together eating breakfast, creating a lively atmosphere.

Liu Biao joked, "They're my goddaughter and godson."

Unaware of the situation, Mr. and Mrs. Chen looked on with confusion, asking, "What grandson?"

He Qiaoyun explained to them with a smile, "My daughter drank too much last night and brought me back a little stray cat. She insisted that she had brought me a grandson. I was so angry."

Chen's parents smiled. Their focus wasn't on the cat, but rather on how much they had drunk. Had they gone drinking last night?

Chen's mother turned to look at her son, "You two went drinking last night?"

Chen Jingzhou felt a little guilty, then smiled and lied, "It's like this, last night there was an event selling alcohol, and she tried a glass out of curiosity, but she couldn't hold her liquor and passed out after just one glass. On her way to get a taxi, she encountered a stray cat, and she held onto it tightly, so she brought it back."

Apart from Mr. and Mrs. Chen, everyone present knew that he had gone to a bar to fool around, but they all tacitly refrained from exposing him.

He Qiaoyun was quite satisfied with Chen Jingzhou's white lie, because she knew her own daughter well and knew that it was definitely Chen Jingzhou who had dragged her to the bar.

Relieved, Chen's mother scolded her son, "Oh dear, really, you didn't even know to stop him."

Chen Jingzhou smiled faintly, "It's just homemade rice wine in a scenic area. The shopkeeper said it had little alcohol content, and we believed him."

Mr. Chen said, "You actually believe that? Honestly, let alone a young girl like her, you'd be drunk if you drank that much."

Chen Jingzhou: "I've learned my lesson."

The topic of drinking was quickly dropped.

Then Chen Ma asked, "What are you going to do with the kitten?"

He Qiaoyun said, "She said she wants to adopt it, and she'll take the cat to the vet for a check-up later."

Aunt Chen smiled and said, "That's good, that's good. She has a sense of responsibility."

After listening to everyone, Tian Tian's mind was filled with thoughts of kittens. She took out her tablet and sent a WeChat message to Xu Hemei: "Sister, I want to see kittens too."

This action made everyone laugh. Feng Jiashu said helplessly, "Let's finish breakfast first before we watch it."

Tian Tian nodded seriously, "Okay."

The group finished breakfast amidst laughter and conversation. As they walked out of the restaurant, they bumped into Xu Hemei bringing her kitten downstairs. Tian Tian immediately went over to her, exclaiming, "Kitten!"

Xu Hemei took the cat out of her bag. "Be careful, don't get scratched."

Tian Tian nodded, "Okay."

The nanny also squatted on the ground, keeping a close watch on the kitten, fearing that it might be in danger.

Fortunately, the kitten was very well-behaved, and even jumped up to rub against people in a very friendly way.

Xu Hemei subconsciously looked up and saw Chen Jingzhou raise an eyebrow at her. Immediately, embarrassing scenes flashed through her mind, her face flushed, and she turned her head away.

"Tian Tian, ​​your sister is taking the kitten to the vet for a checkup," she said hurriedly.

Tian Tian nodded, "Oh, goodbye, sister."

Xu Hemei picked up the kitten and put it in her bag. Then, she stopped smiling and said goodbye to the elders, "Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen, Uncle Feng, Uncle Liu, I'll come to play with you after I've taken care of the kitten."

They readily agreed, "Okay, go ahead."

With that, Xu Hemei carried the kitten out of the hotel.

The group went upstairs to rest and prepare for a while before heading out.

Chen Jingzhou, one of the remaining young men, had made an appointment to meet someone and did not join them.

In the car, Chen's mother shook her head and joked, "Really, he said he was coming out to play with us, but actually he was on a business trip and brought us out for fun on the side."

He Qiaoyun comforted them, "It's a good thing that the children are busy. At their age, they should be working hard and striving for success."

Mr. Chen nodded, "That's true. He bought such a big house, so he has a lot of pressure to pay off the mortgage. He should be busy."

Before long, they arrived at the foot of a mountain.

The first attraction was a mountain climb.

There were just as many people as usual today. To prevent He Qiaoyun from getting lost again, Uncle Feng Jia had Tian Tian hold her hand. Keeping the child in sight meant keeping her in sight too.

Liu Biao utterly despised his behavior. He bought a stick, held one end himself, and handed the other end to He Qiaoyun, saying, "Qiaoyun, hold on, I'll pull you up."

He Qiaoyun said, "No need, I have hands and feet, I can walk by myself."

Liu Biao reluctantly put down the stick. "Tell me again if you can't walk anymore."

He Qiaoyun frowned, feigning displeasure. "Such a small hill, you underestimate me?"

Liu Biao quickly admitted defeat and denied it, "No, no, I am, I am..."

Aunt Chen chuckled and continued, "He just wanted to show he cared about you."

Liu Biao smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "Yes."

He Qiaoyun snorted twice, pulled Tian Tian over and took Chen Ma's hand, "I can't be bothered with you, let's go."

Wang Ma quickly followed.
