Hearing his sneer, Meng Nianchu cast a sidelong glance at him, her expression extremely frigid.
Jin Hui put his hands on his hips and scoffed. "I'm afraid those fans who haven't had the chance to interact with Miss Meng think you're a kind person. It's all an act from start to finish. Aren't you worried that one day someone will expose you when you wake up, Miss Meng?"
"None of your business."
When it came to someone she loathed, Meng Nianchu didn't even bother to explain.
The arc of Jin Hui's mouth widened, and the light in his eyes turned even colder. "I really didn't want to interfere. But since you, Miss Meng, have the audacity to bully someone under me, I have no choice but to step in."
Meng Nianchu pressed her red lips tightly together, not understanding who he meant by the person she had bullied.
"If it weren't for your connection with Mu Junze, I definitely wouldn't let you off so easily! But don't worry, I'll surely settle this score with you!"
Jin Hui stared directly into Meng Nianchu's eyes as he spat out these words with full force.
A sense of unease welled up in Meng Nianchu's heart.
Suddenly, Jin Hui shifted his gaze to Zhang Chengcheng, who was hiding behind Meng Nianchu. He wiped the malevolence off his face and deliberately put on a kind smile. "Chengcheng, if you hang out with this woman, she'll lead you astray. Why don't you come with big brother? Big brother has a lot of delicious food. Whatever you want to eat, big brother will get it for you. How about that?"
"No!" Zhang Chengcheng refused without hesitation.
Undeterred, Jin Hui continued to tempt her. "I heard you love salmon the most. Big brother has a lot of fresh salmon. I'll make sure you have your fill. Come with big brother."
He stepped forward and was about to grab Zhang Chengcheng.
Thankfully, Meng Nianchu was quick. She dodged and pulled Zhang Chengcheng to her left side. "Didn't you hear Chengcheng say she doesn't want to go with you? Do you still want to take her away by force?"
Meng Nianchu's cold words rang out. Jin Hui looked at her with a frigid expression, every feature on his face exuding malice.
"Get out of the way!"
Meng Nianchu forced herself to suppress her fear. She straightened her chest and tightened her grip on Zhang Chengcheng's little hand to give herself courage. "There are cameras on every floor here. If you try to take Chengcheng away by force, I'll call the police right away!"
"Ouch." Jin Hui let out a cold laugh. He stroked the stubble on his lip and sneered. "I just want to have a chat with Chengcheng. Is Miss Meng really making such a big deal out of it?"
"Who wants to chat with you!"
Suddenly, Zhang Chengcheng stepped out from behind Meng Nianchu. Despite her small stature, she stared directly into Jin Hui's eyes and shouted angrily, "Stop flattering yourself. Even if you offer me all the delicious food in the world, I won't go with you! If you keep blocking my way, I'll go back and tell my dad. Get out of here!"
At such a young age, she already knew how to assert her rights, which surprised Meng Nianchu a little.
With her words, perhaps Jin Hui didn't dare to take any more extreme actions.
Meng Nianchu glanced at Jin Hui. Sure enough, even though the fat on his face trembled with anger, he didn't dare to step forward rashly as before.
Seeing his reaction, Zhang Chengcheng felt quite proud. She raised her chin and said even more acidly, "You've been so nice to me just because you want my dad's project. A ugly guy like you, I'll never let my dad give the project to you. Stop daydreaming!"
"You're not allowed to come to our house anymore. If I see you once, I'll kick you out. Then see how you can bully my dad!"
"You little brat, you're really..."
Unable to hold back his anger any longer, Jin Hui glared angrily and strode forward to grab Zhang Chengcheng.
Meng Nianchu quickly pulled Zhang Chengcheng behind her to protect her.
Missing his target, Jin Hui sized Meng Nianchu up and down. Then his face turned lecherous. He stuffed his hands into his pockets and let out a "humph".
"Miss Meng is so eager to stand in front of me. Could it be that Mu Junze can't satisfy you and you're throwing yourself at me? If that's the case, you might as well just say so. I don't have many virtues, but I'm always happy to help. I can help with this little thing anytime."
His words were so filthy that Meng Nianchu instinctively reached out to cover Zhang Chengcheng's ears. But before her hand could touch Zhang Chengcheng, she saw Zhang Chengcheng run out from one side and stomp hard on Jin Hui's foot.
Jin Hui cried out in pain and anger, and was about to grab Zhang Chengcheng to teach her a lesson.
Meng Nianchu quickly grabbed Zhang Chengcheng's collar and pulled her into her arms.
"Shut your stinking mouth! You look like the ugly frog in the book, and your words are just as annoying! Get out of our house right now. I don't want to see you again!"
"Fat pig!"
No one knew why Zhang Chengcheng harbored so much malice towards Jin Hui. After scolding him angrily, she took Meng Nianchu's hand and led her towards the kitchen.
Although Zhang Chengcheng was young, she had a strong kick. Leaning against the wall, Jin Hui was in so much pain that his forehead was covered in sweat. He glared angrily at the corner where Meng Nianchu and Zhang Chengcheng had disappeared. If he could still walk over, he would surely not let them off!
A bunch of damned people!
After all, Zhang Chengcheng was still quite young. Once she started making a cake with cream, her attention was diverted. The incident of scolding Jin Hui seemed insignificant and was soon forgotten.
Meng Nianchu slowed down and patiently taught her how to make a cake.
"Grab the other end of the bag and carefully squeeze the cream onto the cake. That's right! You're so amazing! You can make a lace pattern on your first try!"
Seeing that Zhang Chengcheng had successfully squeezed the cream onto the cake, Meng Nianchu ruffled her hair and didn't spare any praise.
Zhang Chengcheng was very happy to be praised. She grinned and looked at the cake she had made from side to side.
Taking the opportunity, Meng Nianchu asked softly, "You seem to dislike that fat uncle very much. Did he bully you before?"
To make sure Zhang Chengcheng knew who she was talking about, Meng Nianchu deliberately emphasized the word "fat".
Perhaps the word had an effect. As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Chengcheng understood. She pouted and looked unhappy. "That ugly frog came to our house the day before yesterday. He even brought a lot of people with him. I heard them being very rude to my dad outside. It seemed that if my dad didn't give them the project, they would be rough on him!"
"They're just a bunch of bad guys, taking advantage of my dad's kindness! If my dad hadn't told me that there were many uncles and aunts here today and I shouldn't cause trouble, I would have beaten him up. Do they think my taekwondo training is for nothing!"
Hearing her passionate speech, Meng Nianchu pursed her lips and smiled. Looking down at this little child who was so sensible, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
"Your dad will be very happy if he knows what you've done for him today. That man is not a good person. You must stay away from him."
