15 Chapter 15: The 'Beast in Human Clothes' Chu Peng

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Tang Weiguo quivered. This beast, Brother Peng, looked refined and polite. He was an obedient student in the eyes of the teachers. In the hearts of the students, he was the idol and role model. In the eyes of the adults, he was a good child, but only he knew... how ruthless Chu Peng was. He was a beast who dared to kill people.

"I was just joking. What are you really doing? Cough cough... I was almost strangled to death by you!"

Tang Weiguo rubbed his neck, his heart still palpitating with fear. Just now, he really seemed to have seen the King of Hell, scaring him to death.

"You can't even joke about it!" Chu Peng warned coldly.

"Fine, fine, fine, I won't joke about it," Tang Weiguo replied repeatedly, but he was still unwilling to accept it. After all, she was such a beauty that could bring disaster to the country and the people. He asked in a low voice, "That... What if your sister likes me?"

"Impossible!"

Chu Peng looked at him coldly. He felt that this kid was daydreaming. After observing Chu Qiao for a few days, he realized that this stupid sister of his had indeed changed a lot after her fever. Her brain had become smarter, and her heart had become more vicious... This kind of Chu Qiao was very suitable for him, and he had some qualifications to be his sister.

How could she possibly like this idiot, Tang Weiguo?

Chu Qiao, who was outside the room, had no idea that the two brats in the house had almost fought because of her. She had already eaten a plate of watermelons and was a little full. The television had also finished showing an episode, and He Jihong had also prepared the dishes. She saw Chu Qiao enjoying the cool and refreshing air and called out unhappily, "Bring out the dishes!"

"Okay!"

Chu Qiao answered obediently. Her attitude had to be respectful, and she could not let outsiders pick out any mistakes. She would not do the work, but she could still carry a few bowls of dishes.

The kitchen was like a steamer, and she was almost dizzy from the heat. She glanced at He Jihong, whose shirt was soaked through. Chu Qiao's mood was even better. It was indeed more comfortable to be a lazy person.

"Carry out these dishes."

He Jihong gritted her teeth and gave the order. Her eyes were burning with anger. Ever since Chu Qiao came, she had never been so tired. In the past five years, she had always stayed comfortable and stretched out her arms. Food came to her mouth, and Chu Yuanzhi bought the dishes. Chu Qiao did all the daily meals and housework. Her son was good at his studies, so she didn't have to worry about anything. Who in the office didn't envy her?

But these days, she was so busy that she felt dizzy. She had to cook three meals a day, clean the floor, wipe the table, and go to work. She was as tired as a dog after working from morning to night.

Chu Yuanzhi was quite sweet, but he didn't know how to do anything. He made the house a mess by mopping the floor, and in the end, she had to clean it up. Chu Qiao, this little b*tch, pretended to be dead every day. It was painful, but she couldn't scold her. Otherwise, if the neighbors heard, they would definitely say that her stepmother was ruthless.

He Jihong's heart was filled with fury. She sucked in a belly full of anger, and her appetite was exhausted. Now, she only wanted to quickly marry this little b*tch off. Out of sight, out of mind, and she could earn another sum of money as a betrothal gift.

Chu Qiao held a plate of fried prawns. As soon as she walked out of the kitchen, she heard Tang Weiguo's exaggerated fawning voice. "It's hot, I'll hold it. Chu Qiao... Sister."

Under Chu Peng's cold gaze, Tang Weiguo reluctantly added a 'sister' and received the dishes from Chu Qiao. The rest of the dishes were also served by him, Someone who didn't even help when the oil bottle fell at home, at this time, was being especially diligent, like a hardworking little bee.

"Thank you."

Chu Qiao was quite grateful. She didn't expect Tang Weiguo to be so diligent. She didn't realize it in the past.

"What are you thanking me for, Chu Qiao... Sister, you're welcome."

Tang Weiguo's smile was even brighter than the sun. He was a sweet talker and had a good relationship with people. In his previous life, he started a company with Chu Peng. Chu Peng was in charge of strategizing, and everything related to the outside world was handed over to Tang Weiguo. The two worked together seamlessly. The company was very big, but in his previous life, Chu Peng was basically abroad and rarely went home. He was a little cold, even to his own mother, He Jihong.

Chu Qiao quite liked Tang Weiguo's personality. He was cheerful and sunny, and he was quite handsome. Although he was the last, the teachers all liked him. Moreover, Tang Weiguo was also very promising in his previous life.

When she had nothing to do at home, she liked to read all kinds of books. The books said that people with high EQ were more likely to succeed than people with high IQ. This sentence was quite suitable for Tang Weiguo.

"Be careful, it's hot."

Chu Qiao reminded him. She was in a good mood and smiled so much that her eyes curved. Tang Weiguo couldn't help but be stunned, and the soup on the plate in his hand almost spilled.

"Cough, cough..."

Chu Peng coughed heavily a few times, and Tang Weiguo's face became hot. He didn't dare to look at her anymore, but he was thinking in his heart, 'This looks really brings disaster to the country and the people. No wonder the ancient emperor was so infatuated that he even forgot to attend court.' If his beloved concubine was like Chu Qiao, and he was the emperor, he wouldn't even attend the bullsh*t imperial court either. He would just abdicate the throne and give up his position to a good man, hugging a beautiful woman and enjoying himself to death.

Chu Yuanzhi came out of the room, and when he saw the sumptuous dishes on the table, he immediately praised, "The dishes are really good. They look and smell delicious. The dishes in the big hotel can only be of this standard."

The stern-faced He Jihong's expression softened a little, and she smiled a little more. She liked Chu Yuanzhi's sweet words and his beauty. Otherwise, she, as the eldest daughter of the He family, wouldn't have married Chu Yuanzhi even if it was her second marriage. She wouldn't have married a useless man like Chu Yuanzhi, who had no family background and was also a burden.

"Weiguo, eat the prawns."

He Jihong used the public chopsticks to pick up the prawns for Tang Weiguo. She was amiable and warm.

"Thank you, Auntie He."

Looking at the prawns in his bowl, Tang Weiguo felt a little headache. Actually, he didn't really like to eat prawns, but for some reason, He Jihong always felt that he liked to eat prawns. Every time he came to the Chu family for a meal, He Jihong would constantly pick up prawns for him. He actually wanted to eat some braised meat more.

Chu Peng glanced at him. When He Jihong wasn't paying attention, he put all the prawns in Tang Weiguo's bowl onto his plate and even gave some to Chu Qiao. Tang Weiguo heaved a sigh of relief and happily picked up a piece of braised meat with his chopsticks to eat. The taste was barely passable, but it wasn't as good as his mother's cooking.

Chu Qiao looked at her cheap little brother in surprise. Chu Peng was focused on peeling the prawns. His profile was almost exactly the same as Chu Yuanzhi's, but his temperament was completely different; one cold and one warm.

Chu Qiao couldn't understand what her brother was thinking, so she couldn't be bothered to think about it. She focused on eating the prawns. She didn't like meat, but she liked to eat prawns and crabs. She wouldn't get sick of them even if she ate them every day. Unfortunately, He Jihong didn't like them, so Chu Yuanzhi rarely bought prawns and crabs.

"Weiguo. have some more prawns!"

When He Jihong saw that the prawns on Tang Weiguo's plate were gone, she thought that he had finished eating. She immediately arranged a large plate of prawns. Most of them were given to Tang Weiguo by her, and the rest were given to Chu Yuanzhi and her son. Of course, Chu Qiao wouldn't even think about it. How could a child like her deserve to eat such expensive shrimp?

"Chu Qiao... Sister, help me eat some." Tang Weiguo saw that Chu Qiao liked to eat shrimp, so he took the initiative to pass the shrimp in the plate to her.

"Okay."

Chu Qiao didn't reject anything. The shrimp that Chu Yuanzhi bought was quite fresh, tender, and sweet. She could eat a large plate alone.

"Why doesn't Weiguo eat shrimp? Isn't it delicious?" He Jihong was very dissatisfied, but she couldn't vent her anger on Tang Weiguo. She could only secretly glare at Chu Qiao.

Tang Weiguo was about to say that he didn't like eating shrimp, but his foot was kicked hard. It hurt so much that he had to change his words. "It's delicious. Aunt's shrimp is the best. It's just that I ate too many watermelons just now, so I'm a little full."
