227　　Peng Shizhong said: "I don't quite understand it either, but it's good to listen."

　　"By the way, why did you bring this up?"

　　Upon hearing this, Chen Jie paused for a moment, thinking about how to start the conversation. The First Intelligence System must not be exposed.

　　Secondly, he knew that Feng Xuan had not been holding back his fart, but in Peng Shizhong's eyes, his eldest son had learned well. If he said something bad about Feng Xuan, he would become the villain who was trying to sow discord.

　　Thirdly, Hua Die herself didn't know how far her relationship with her adoptive father had come.

　　There is a saying: distance does not separate close relatives. If two people are very close, then if you accuse her of having ulterior motives, it might backfire.

　　After thinking for a while, Chen Jie found a breakthrough and said, "Adoptive father, this is the case. I passed by the Chunfeng Theater these few days and found that there were many suspicious people there. When I investigated, I found that these guys were sent by the gang leader. I was afraid that they had evil intentions and would secretly harm you."

　　"So I came to report to my foster father, can we not watch the show tonight?"

　　Chen Jie expressed his thoughts.

　　"To assassinate me?"

　　Peng Shizhong frowned, then laughed, "Hahaha... No, even though I'm seriously injured, Nan Batian wouldn't be so stupid as to assassinate me in the theater. You're overthinking it."

　　Peng Shizhong waved his hand.

　　Chen Jie said: "Foster father, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others!"

　　"Our relationship with Nan Batian is so delicate, he might take advantage of your injury to do something, so you can't take any risks!"

　　Peng Shizhong said, "Haha, Jiusi, you are overthinking. The matter between me and Nan Batian was mediated by Darughachi. We can fight each other, but we cannot attack each other directly. Otherwise, if anyone is hurt, it will be a loss for the court."

　　"Otherwise, after all these years, why would he wait until now to ambush me in the theater? He can't ambush me when I go out to eat or drink?"

　　"Don't worry, he won't dare!"

　　Seeing Peng Shizhong so confident, Chen Jie said, "Foster father, some things may change. Just give me some face and don't go tonight, okay?"

　　"this?"

　　Peng Shizhong looked at Chen Jie, feeling a little embarrassed.

　　Just then, Ying Er came in and said, "Master, Miss Huadie is here!"

　　"Oh, why is she here!"

　　Hearing the word "Hua Die", Peng Shizhong's eyes lit up, and he stood up and said, "Tell her to wait for me in the living room."

　　"yes."

　　Ying Er responded.

　　"Ninety-four."

　　Peng Shizhong looked at Chen Jie and said, "Okay, I'll consider this matter. I'll go see Miss Huadie first."

　　Chen Jie frowned and said, "Godfather, I'll go with you to meet him."

　　After hearing this, Peng Shizhong asked, "Hey, have you had breakfast?"

　　Chen Jie had eaten it, but now he said, "No."

　　"Then let's eat together."

　　"good."

　　Chen Jie felt something was wrong. Hua Die came here at this time?

　　In the living room, Hua Die was wearing a plain dress today. When she saw Peng Shizhong, she immediately bowed and said, "Hello, Mr. Peng."

　　Peng Shizhong laughed and said, "Haha, Huadie, why are you here?"

　　Huadie said, "I heard that Master Peng was ill. I didn't sleep well all night and couldn't help but come to see him."

　　Peng Shizhong said: "Hahaha, let me introduce you to my fifth son, Chen Jiusi."

　　Huadie immediately bowed and said, "Meet Master Wu."

　　Chen Jie also returned the greeting and said, "Hello, Miss Huadie."

　　After Chen Jie finished speaking, he immediately said, "Godfather, it's so early, Miss Huadie must have not had breakfast, let's eat and chat at the same time."

　　"Okay, let's eat and talk."

　　"By the way, what do you want to eat?"

　　Chen Jie glanced at Hua Die and said, "Godfather, let's have something light in the morning. Three bowls of coriander noodles, please!"

　　Coriander, also known as cilantro, doesn't this butterfly eat cilantro?

　　There is nothing we can do now, we can only hope for this.

　　Upon hearing this, Hua Die glanced at Chen Jie with a complicated and somewhat resentful look.

　　Peng Shizhong heard this and said, "Okay, Huadie happens to like coriander, so let's have coriander noodles."

　　Chen Jie heard this and said, "Okay, put more coriander in the three bowls of coriander noodles!"

　　The three of them sat and chatted for a while, while the noodles in the kitchen were ready. They just had to be put into the pot and served quickly, and more coriander was added as requested by Chen Jie.

　　Seeing the bowl of noodles, Chen Jie and Peng Shizhong started eating right away.

　　Huadie stared at the noodles for a long time, finding it hard to eat. As for coriander, only those who like it really love it, while those who don't like it can't eat even a single bite.

　　This big bowl of coriander noodles made Huadie almost vomit.

　　Chen Jie ate a few bites and said, "Hey, Miss Huadie, why don't you eat? Don't you like it?"

　　Peng Shizhong also looked over and said, "If it doesn't suit your taste, then you won't eat it, right?"

　　Hua Die forced herself to smile when she heard that. In the script she got, she was a character who loved coriander very much, because Peng Shizhong's junior sister couldn't live without coriander.

　　In order to recreate the little junior sister in a one-to-one ratio, she had no choice but to eat it.

　　"It fits, it fits, how can it not fit?"

　　"Slurp, slurp~"

　　Huadie ate the noodles with a smile, and Chen Jie said, "Don't just eat the noodles, eat more coriander. We like coriander, so we eat coriander first."

　　Hua Die looked at Chen Jie and wanted to eat him alive, but she still gritted her teeth, stuffed a big mouthful of coriander into her mouth, chewed it twice, and forced herself to swallow it without chewing it thoroughly.

　　Chen Jie looked at her and realized how cruel she was to herself.

　　At this time, Huadie also said, "Master Peng, I came here for another matter today."

　　"Oh, what is it?"

　　"It's like this. Today, the boss of the theater found Lincheng's big blue-clothed Qingque to challenge me. I originally came here to ask Master Peng to support me, but when I heard that I was injured, I came to tell him not to go today and to stay at home to recover. Everything else will be discussed after I recover."

　　Huadie said with concern.

　　Peng Shizhong heard this and said, "If we want to fight, then I'll go. I won't let you lose to others."

　　"Mr. Peng, I know you love me, but you are injured and I don't want you to be dragged down because of me."

　　"But I won't go. You'll be so sad if you lose!"

　　"That's fine. It's just a fight between us actors. If I lose, I can just cry and that's all. It's fine."

　　Huadie said pitifully everywhere.

　　Peng Shizhong said, "That won't work. You are my man, Peng Shizhong. How can you lose to that Blue Bird from Lincheng?"

　　"Greenbird."

　　"Don't worry about it, I'll be there on time tonight to cheer you on!"

　　"Godfather!"

　　Chen Jie was watching from the sidelines with his head raised, and he quickly said, "Foster father, Miss Huadie is right. You are injured, so don't go. I will go to support Miss Huadie on your behalf and make sure she wins gloriously."

　　"That won't work. Why don't you go and figure it out?"

　　Peng Shizhong glared at Chen Jie.

　　If you try to please the woman I already favor, won't our generations be messed up? Besides, is Huadie just an ordinary girl? She is the incarnation of my junior sister. Although you are my beloved son, you can't touch her!

　　When Chen Jie saw this, he was also shocked. It seemed that Huadie held a very important position in Lao Peng's heart!

　　Didn't Lao Peng think that he was going to seduce his stepmother?

　　After thinking this through, Chen Jie knew that it would be useless even if he said everything today.

　　Moreover, in this situation, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make. If Peng Shizhong really misunderstands that you want to seduce your stepmother, you're done.

　　After figuring this out, he stopped talking and ate the coriander noodles with big mouthfuls.

　　I no longer forced Huadie to eat because it was meaningless and the matter was already a foregone conclusion.

　　Huadie sat for a while and said, "Master Peng, it's almost time. I have to go back and make some arrangements. I have to perform an opera in the evening."

　　"Oh, okay. I'll take you there."

　　"Master, please stay."

　　Hua Die stopped Peng Shizhong from sending her off, followed Peng Fu out the door, got on the carriage, and then picked up the spittoon beside her.

　　"Ugh~"

　　He started to dry heave.

　　Hearing the retching sound inside, the coachman asked, "How is it?"

　　"Go back and tell your master that it's done. Peng Shizhong must go tonight."

　　"That's good. Thank you for your hard work."

　　"Gee, gee, gee…"

　　As he spoke, the car slowly drove away.

　　At this time, in the courtyard, Chen Jie looked at Peng Shizhong and said, "Adoptive father..."

　　"Jiu Si, you've seen it too. I've already promised the girl. If I don't go, it would be embarrassing, so don't persuade me."

　　"But don't worry, it's okay. Although my foster father is injured, he doesn't have the strength to transform energy, so he can't hurt me. And Nan Batian and others don't dare to attack openly because of Daruhachi, so it's okay."

　　"Just focus on managing the White Tiger Hall. Your foster father is old now, and the White Tiger Hall will be yours from now on."

　　After saying that, Peng Shizhong said, "Okay, just do your thing and don't worry about me."
