Didn't run away with the ball

Chapter 41-60

　However, Jiang Li was trying to reduce his presence as much as possible and pretending not to know Huo Mudong, and he didn't notice the confrontation between the two brothers at all.

　　"It's good for young people to have some emotional experience. Unlike me," Huo Mudong glanced at Jiang Li indifferently, "I have never been in a relationship. I am a blank slate, too clean."

　　Huo Chixia: "I'm not dirty either!"

　　Everyone: "..."

　　Older people are more experienced. Being five years older, a person becomes more cunning. During the rest of the meal, Huo Mudong found various angles to expose the embarrassing things that happened to his cousin when he was a child. In the end, there was nothing left to say, even the old things about wetting his pants in the last year of kindergarten were brought up, which made Huo Chixia blush and she wanted to crawl under the table.

　　What's even more damaging is that every time he belittled Huo Chixia, he would inadvertently elevate himself.

　　Mr. Huo spent an entire lunch hour casually reshaping his image in front of Jiang Li. He used the hardships of his childhood, adolescence, and even when he just started his business to flesh out his image, portraying himself as hardworking and majestic. The employees applauded frequently. Jiang Li, forced by the environment of flattery, was afraid that if he didn't show some expression, he would seem out of place, which would expose his close relationship with Mr. Huo. So he symbolically echoed, "Mr. Huo is awesome."

　　Hearing that Huo Mudong was finally pleased, his cloudy aura turned sunny, forming a sharp contrast with the lifeless face of his brother who had been demoted to nothing.

　　The atmosphere at the dinner table finally became lively, and everyone ended their lunch with relaxed laughter. Only Huo Chixia was as listless as an eggplant hit by frost.

　　But it was finally over. As his brother, he couldn't continue to follow them on walks and buy snacks. That would have to scare a few random employees.

　　Huo Chixia was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and made an invitation to Jiang Li: "Let's go buy yogurt together."

　　Huo Mudong frowned: "Isn't there yogurt in the cafeteria?"

　　Young Master Huo said confidently: "The yogurt provided by the cafeteria is too cheap. The first ingredient in the list is milk powder, not milk. It's not healthy. Come on, Jiang Li, accompany me to the small supermarket."

　　In fact, Jiang Li didn't dislike the yogurt in the cafeteria. It was free and produced by a regular manufacturer. But Huo Chixia felt a little pitiful after being scolded by his eldest brother today, and... He touched his belly. If Duoduo was there, he had to drink something good and couldn't treat the child badly.

　　Jiang Li: "Okay, let's go."

　　Huo Mudong: "..."

　　After an afternoon, the little smile that Mr. Huo had managed to accumulate disappeared without a trace, and his face became gloomy again.

Chapter 32

　　"Wait." Huo Mudong stared at Jiang Li's back and called them.

　　Jiang Li paused but did not turn around. While he was hesitating, Huo Chixia beside him asked unhappily, "Brother, what's wrong?"

　　"Don't go." Huo Mudong still looked at Jiang Li.

　　Jiang Li said softly to Huo Chixia: "You have something to do, then we will go over first."

　　After saying that, he disappeared around the corner of the stairs with Wu Tao and his group of people.

　　"..."
