He Jihong stared with hatred at the innocent-looking Chu Qiao. He Jihong entered the kitchen with an ugly face. The chopping board and kitchen knife were slammed. Chu Yuanzhi couldn’t hear the TV clearly, so he had to turn the TV to the loudest.

“Xiao Chu, are your ears not good? Why do you have to set the TV so loudly? The neighbors will complain.” He Jihong came out with a bad tone.

“I will turn it down now.”

Chu Yuanzhi hurriedly lowered the sound to the minimum and smiled blandly at He Jihong. “Now there is no voice.”

“What kind of TV do you watch with such a small sound? Are you protesting silently?”

He Jihong was even more unhappy. It was not good to provoke Chu Qiao. People would hear that she treated her stepdaughter badly, so she could only provoke Chu Yuanzhi.

“I’m going to read a book.”

Chu Yuanzhi had no choice but to turn off the TV and simply stopped watching it. He honestly went into the room to read a book. In this family, He Jihong was absolutely Number 1, with a high status. Chu Peng was the second, Xu Bilian was the third, Chu Yuanzhi was the second from the last, and Chu Qiao was the last one. She was at the end of the chain, and anyone could step on her.

Chu Qiao was too lazy to go into the room. Even if there was a fan in such a small room, it would still be very stuffy. She preferred to blow ceiling fans in the living room to cool down. She turned on the TV without scruple. With a 14 inch black and white TV, she could only manually turn the button for FM. The sound was very loud.

She found the Shanghai TV station. On weekends, foreign dramas would be shown in the morning. Only two episodes would be shown every week. The actors were very beautiful, and the dubbing was also very nice, but the number of episodes were too few.

Chu Qiao sat on the sofa watching TV. She took out a watermelon from the refrigerator and cut it into pieces. Now the watermelon was sweet, sandy, and cold. The wind blew over her head, and her whole body cooled down.

Looking at her enjoyment, He Jihong in the kitchen felt like gasoline was poured into her heart, and her anger escalated to the top of her head.

She was so busy to the point that she didn’t even have time to drink water. But this stepdaughter ate iced watermelons and watched TV with a fan. She just had a fever. How could this Chu Qiao become like a different person? 

Her skin was getting thicker and her courage became bigger and bigger.

“Chu Qiao…”

He Jihong called, she wanted Chu Qiao to help in the kitchen. But Chu Peng’s door opened, and a tall, thin boy came out. He wore a plaid shirt, blue jeans, white sneakers, and a sports watch on his wrist, very fashionable style.

Although this boy’s facial features were not particularly outstanding, he had a sunny personality, handsome appearance, and a smile on his face. Such traits make him very attractive and popular with girls.

It was Tang Weiguo, who had copied his homework and came out to eat watermelons. Just as soon as he went out, he saw Chu Qiao sitting leisurely on the sofa. He was suddenly dumbfounded, and opened his mouth in amazement.

This… was this beautiful girl Chu Peng’s ugly sister?

Tang Weiguo rubbed his eyes and saw more clearly. He was not wrong, it was auntie old-style clothes, but her face had changed. No, it wasn’t that…. He had never seen Chu Qiao’s face before, because it was covered by bangs. He only saw the lower half of it, which was gloomy. And he didn’t want to take a second look after one glance. Unexpectedly, the sister of Chu Peng’s true face was like this.

So beautiful!

Tang Weiguo wanted to describe the beauty of Chu Qiao with some gorgeous and beautiful ancient poems, but he was so ignorant with his study that he couldn’t think of it for a long time. He simply gave up and said hello to Chu Qiao with a smile, “Chu Qiao!”

Chu Qiao glanced at him and was a little puzzled. He used to call her Chu Peng’s sister, but today he called her by name. So impolite.
