Chapter 42 Don't think I like You

Yinghua did not respond, just insisted to give Lucas the aquamarine bracelet. “Lucas, you cannot accept this.” I didn’t give any instructions but Jacky Hua gave his order. Lucas then turned around and stopped his hesitation. Now Lucas was very obedient to Jacky very much, I couldn’t help thinking, Jacky must have taught Lucas something, that Lucas completely be on his side. Ying Hua’s excited face faded a little and said, “Why is that? You think it’s not expensive enough?” This was obviously not for Lucas, it was said to Jacky Hua. “This bracelet is too important to give to a child, I suggest that you shouldn’t collect it either.” Jacky’s tone was still cold. He said ‘important’ instead of ‘expensive’, it meant that this was not about money, but seems to have more important meaning for Ying Hua. “Do you think this dirty, or is meant bad? Or, is there anything else that makes you unhappy? If you don’t accept it, I will just throw it away." Ying was saying that, and about to smash the bracelet on the ground. I quickly grabbed it and said, "Wait, I want it. I will receive this for the child. Lucas, say thank you." I definitely don’t understand the meaning and value of this bracelet, but when I saw Ying Hua’s getting angry and about to smash it, I had to accept that. To be honest, people gave something to your child with kindness, and if you refused it with a cold face, no one will be happy. I accepted it and needed to return something back is way better than letting her angry or let the bracelet being smashed. Jacky Hua glared at me, and I looked straight back and said, "This is for Lucas, not for you. You don’t have any rights to refuse it for my child. Ying is kind-hearted, why should you refuse? Though you don’t want it, me and my child will keep it." I was hoping that our conflict would replace theirs by stirring Jacky’s anger. Although I didn’t understand where their conflicts started. It appeared to be a bracelet on the outside, but it is obvious that the bracelet is just a carrier for the conflicts between. Jacky Hua looked at me with coldness and did not say anything but one word, “Stupid!” “I think the stupid one is you! You are so arrogant and self-righteous. People called you Fourth Brother, do you really think you are some big boss? You just use money to raise a group of people who flatter you, because you have money, they call you brother, do you really think you are amazing? You always think your decisions are right, who do you think you are? God?” My assault was like a cannon, my intention was to divert their conflicts, but after I finished speaking, I found that it was extremely pleasant. I really held these words back for too long, I had long wanted to scold him. “Is there an end for your speech?” Jack Hua looked at Lucas and stopped talking. People like him still care about Lucas’ feelings, that was unexpected. “Alright, alright. we should put an end to this. It’s time to eat.” Ying Hua’s mood was also getting better. She told me before, why Jacky Hua lost his power in front her. That is because she is fiercer than him. Now that I understand, normally she’s lively and smiling. Once she was angry, her face would change in a flash, to smash the bracelet with out hesitation. These two siblings not only share the character of good-looking, but also a bad temper. After this arguing, the atmosphere at the dinner table was becoming dull and awkward. When the Braised Tofu was served, Ying pushed the plate in front of Jacky Hua. "I'd like to see how a person who hates Tofu most suddenly likes to eat it. I will see you eat it." Jacky was like a child who had been wronged, wanted to say something but didn’t. And did want to eat that tofu. “This is my mother’s favorite dish, not daddy Hua’s favorite.” Lucas said. After hearing this, all of us was silent. I didn’t understand why are they, but I was shocked by Lucas’ words. I thought Lucas always calls Jacky ‘Uncle Hua’, when did it become daddy Hua? A child could not change the address, he must had taught by Jacky. “So. You did not order tofu for yourself, it’s for Kiki? You told me you don’t like her but you remember her favorite dish?” Jacky Hua could not lose his prestige, said, “I ordered it for myself! It’s not for her! She’s no one to me!” “You said you ordered it for yourself, then eat it!” Ying insisted. Jacky could not put up with this, he would not admit that he ordered it for me. He picked up a piece of tofu and swallowed, and a weird expression appeared on his face. Ying started laughing, “This is so interesting, keep on eating. I will just sit here and watch how you going to finish a dish that you hated the most.” Looking at Jacky’s awkward face, I began to gloat and then felt a little guilty. If he ordered for me for real, and to put him through this is really not that kind. Though he was annoying from time to time, he did not deserve this. It is too hard to eat something you dislike. I pulled that dish in front me, and said, “I ordered this tofu, why give it to him?” Jacky seemed released and the embarrassed expression eased a little. "Ah, this is to help him out? So, this is showing your lovey-dovey? Both of you still told me you don’t like each other and still pretending. Just save it, you sleep in a same bed, you should have known each other the best " Ying said. “Sister, it is not good to use these words in front of children, it is too soon for him to learn, don’t talk like that.” said Jacky Hua unpleasantly. Ying suddenly covers her mouth and chuckles, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that, but it’s a boy, not a girl, it doesn’t matter that much.” By Ying's teasing, the atmosphere is active again. It's a lot easier for everyone. Lucas is very cute, called Aunty and Daddy a lot. Everyone surrounded and laughing, there's a sense of happiness for family reunion all of a sudden. Since I was 16 years old, I had an anxiety of lacking love. When this anxiety was relieved, I really sensed of happiness and felt relieved. After the meal, Ying was still in the mood. She suggested taking Lucas for another walk. Lucas also likes Ying a lot. They get along very well. When they were finally tired, Ying drove herself back. I saw the face of Lucas, followed Jacky to his car. I didn't expect that as soon as he got in the car, he reached over his hand and said, "Give it back.” I was shocked and asked, “What?” “You cannot keep that bracelet, give it back to me.” What Ying gave to me, he asked it back as soon as she left, doesn’t he ever feel shameful?
