Chapter 70: Stolen love is worthless.

Upon hearing this, Hu Mianmian immediately pushed the box forward.

"Give me what others don't want? Then I don't want it either!"

The third young master Chen Dingshi became anxious. He stamped his feet and looked like he couldn't argue clearly.

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? It was Yao'er who insisted on snatching it from me. She cried and made a fuss, and I refused to give it to her no matter what."

Chen Dingming raised his eyebrows: "Really? Why do I remember that you asked her to call you brother, but she refused, and you were unhappy."

Chen Dingshi looked anxious.

He quickly ran to Hu Mianmian and explained to the little guy.

"Sister, don't listen to what elder brother says. He knows nothing at all. I've only met Su Yao'er once. She came back to visit her relatives with her aunt. I saw she was young, so I wanted to tease her. But this box of things is my treasure. Even if she calls me brother a hundred times, I can't give it to her. I want to give it to someone I like, or my sister I like!"

Seeing Chen Dingshi so anxious, Hu Mianmian covered her mouth with her hands and burst out laughing.

"Third brother, don't be nervous. I can't take your box of things anyway."

"Why not? Don't you like it? Tell me what you like and I'll get it for you."

Hu Mianmian: "These are all Third Brother's treasures. I can't take them all. Well, I'll pick one and treat it as a meeting gift from you."

As she spoke, she stretched out her little hands and rummaged around in the box.

Finally, she picked out a necklace made of South Sea pearls and the little one tried it on herself.

"is it nice?"

"Beautiful!" Chen Dingshi smiled like a fangirl, "My sister is so cute, she looks good in anything she wears."

As he spoke, Chen Dingshi looked at his older brother Chen Dingming standing beside him and said, "Brother, I have given you the gift. Where are the things you prepared for your sister? Take them out quickly."

Chen Dingming paused and said, "I didn't prepare anything."

"You still want to hide it from me? A few days ago, I heard from your servant Adong that you went to the silver shop in the city and made a set of Ruyi bracelets. They are made of pure gold. Hurry and take them out!"

Hu Mianmian blinked her big eyes and looked at him curiously.

Chen Dingming lowered his eyes slightly and had to explain: "That is prepared for Yao'er. As for Mianmian, I will prepare another one later."

Chen Dingshi was stunned, fearing that Hu Mianmian would be embarrassed, so he tried to smooth things over by saying, "Tsk! Since you are not prepared, I will be the eldest brother Mianmian and you will be the third brother from now on."

As he spoke, he pulled Hu Mianmian and took her to see the calligraphy he had practiced.

Hu Mianmian didn't say anything, but the little guy knew everything in his mind.

She also realized that her step-grandmother's daughter, Chen Luhua, had taken away half of the love her uncles had for her mother, Chen Qingyin.

Now Chen Luhua's daughter, Su Yaoer, is more liked by her brothers than she is.

Hu Mianmian shrugged, indicating that it didn't matter.

As a member of the fox clan, it is not difficult for her to make others like her if she really wants to.

However, she didn't want to compete with others.

Love that is stolen is worthless.

I hope my mother thinks so too.

After that, Hu Mianmian was busy playing with the third young master Chen Dingshi, and didn't talk much to her eldest brother Chen Dingming.

On the contrary, Chen Dingming did not leave. He sat quietly beside them, watching his younger brothers and sisters.

I would pour them some water from time to time and ask Hu Mianmian if she wanted to eat some fruit, that was all.

Soon, it was noon.

The maid came to call a few young masters and young ladies to go to the main hall to have dinner.

It turns out that Prime Minister Chen and Brother Chen Qingyin are back.

Chen Dingshi quickly patted his robe and held Hu Mianmian's little hand.

"Come on, sister. Grandfather misses you so much. He keeps asking why you haven't come yet."

Hu Mianmian naturally also likes this grandfather.

Children are actually very smart. They can tell right away who really likes her and who is just pretending to like her.

For example, today, Hu Mianmian actually doesn't like her step-grandmother very much.

The Chen family is much bigger than the Hu family.

Passing through numerous corridors, through three large courtyards and a garden, maids and servants can be seen everywhere, and they bow their heads and greet them.

Hu Mianmian was brought by her two brothers to the flower hall where they had their meal.

I heard Prime Minister Chen's voice asking from inside: "Where's Mianmian?"

Tang Yinqiu smiled and said, "Qingyin, look at your father. He goes to look for Mianmian as soon as he gets home. Among the younger generations, Mianmian is the one he loves the most."

As they were talking, Chen Dingshi had already pulled Hu Mianmian into the flower hall.

Prime Minister Chen had not yet changed his official robe, and his majestic face was filled with smiles the moment he saw Hu Mianmian.

"Grandpa!" The little guy immediately let go of Chen Dingshi's hand, opened his arms, and ran towards Prime Minister Chen.

Prime Minister Chen smiled and said, "Oh, Grandpa's Mianmian!"

He also ran over, picked up the little guy in his arms, and spun him around twice.

Chen Dingshi's mouth twitched: "Does this count as a two-way rush?"

He had never seen his grandfather look so warm!

Hu Mianmian and Prime Minister Chen were cheek to cheek, and both of them were grinning from ear to ear.

Chen Qingyin couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, Mianmian, it's time to eat, get off grandpa quickly."

Tang Yinqiu also said, "Yes, Master, the children are hungry when they get home. I have arranged a seat for Mianmian. Please sit between you and me."

"It just so happened that the children's chair that I specially asked a craftsman to make when Yao'er came back last time was still usable. I have asked the servants to clean it."

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Chen waved his hand and said, "I'll just hold Mianmian."

Tang Yinqiu was stunned and said, "How can that be appropriate? It's not convenient for the master to have dinner."

"It doesn't matter if I need it or not, the most important thing is that Mianmian is full," he hugged Hu Mianmian, as if he couldn't let go, "Our Mianmian has come here with great difficulty, grandpa will hold you and feed you, okay?"

Hu Mianmian nodded immediately and agreed softly: "Okay~ I like grandpa the most~"

Prime Minister Chen laughed heartily.

No one noticed that Tang Yinqiu's smile was a little stiff.

Before eating, everyone washed their hands and rinsed their mouths.

Hu Mianmian discovered that to the right of Tang Yinqiu sat a handsome man with clear features.

Her temperament is as calm as black jade, exuding a cold aura.

Tang Yinqiu introduced enthusiastically: "Mianmian, this is your uncle, Chen Hanmo."

Hu Mianmian's elder brother Chen Dingming is his son.

If Chen Dingming's attitude towards Hu Mianmian was a forced smile, then the look in the eyes of his uncle Chen Hanmo when he looked at Hu Mianmian could be described as cold.

He looked at the little guy expressionlessly, paused, then hummed and looked away.

"Eat more." That's all he said.

Prime Minister Chen pursed his lips, seeming a little displeased.

He had no intention of bringing the topic to Chen Hanmo.

After all, Chen Qingyin and Chen Hanmo had a very serious quarrel.

Chen Hanmo is the one who loves Chen Qingyin the most, but after the quarrel, Chen Hanmo threatened that he would never recognize this sister again.

The atmosphere during the dinner was awkward.

Chen Qingyin sat opposite his eldest brother Chen Hanmo, also looking a little gloomy.

She was like a stranger who was not welcomed home and seemed out of place everywhere.

It was Hu Mianmian who took the initiative to break the deadlock.

"Grandpa, I want to eat that chicken drumstick."

She's been staring for a long time!

Prime Minister Chen immediately waved his hand and said, "Bring the whole plate of chicken to our Mian Mian!"

The little guy couldn't ask for more!

Chen Qingyin said helplessly: "Father, you will only spoil the child like this."

Prime Minister Chen pretended to be serious: "I spoil you, I can afford to support you, don't worry about it. When you were a child, didn't I spoil you enough?"

Chen Qingyin was speechless.

Hu Mianmian had a chicken leg in her left hand and a chicken claw in her right hand, and her mouth was greasy from gnawing on them.

Chen Qingyin ate in silence. Her second brother Chen Hanjing sat next to her and kept putting food into her bowl.

"Okay, second brother, I have too much space in my bowl." Her second brother actually still remembered her favorite dishes.

Chen Hanjing was a military general. When he smiled, his white teeth were exposed, which made his sharp eyebrows and eyes look even more dazzling.

He said, "I just saw my father feeding Mianmian, and I thought about how my elder brother and I fed you when you were a child. Even though you are now a wife and a mother, in my heart, you are still the crying little kid when you were three years old. Eat more. When I saw you living that kind of life in the Hu family before, I might as well have supported you and Ning Guanzhou to go to the border."

Chen Qingyin's eyes suddenly became moist.

The eldest brother Chen Hanmo put down his chopsticks and said in a cold and warning voice: "Second brother!"
