"He seems to be a man who loves his sister, but when he was a child, he didn't give in to me at all and often teased me. He was so annoying."
This was Xu Yunhe, whom Catherine had never heard of before. However, she was in a state of refusing to listen and only allowed Xu Li to relieve her boredom.
The two of them walked and suddenly came to a big tree.
The big tree looked strange, with lush branches, and Catherine looked over.
"What kind of tree is this?"
She had never seen it before, so she was a little curious.
Xu Li heard her words and looked over. The moment she saw behind the tree, her expression became a little unnatural.
Catherine, who had a keen mind, noticed something was wrong and asked: "Does this tree have any allusion?"
Xu Li couldn't deceive her friends, so she said directly: "Huo Yun planted this tree."
Catherine already had an answer for this tree. She thought that apart from this explanation, no one else could explain the strange look on Xu Li's face.
"Qiqi...are you angry?"
Xu Li stared at her.
Catherine smiled: "How could I be angry? This is something that happened in the past and has nothing to do with me."
Xu Li said: "This tree was planted a long time ago. After she planted it, our family... basically didn't take care of it."
"Your brother must love her very much."
"No, no, it's just the opposite. She loves my brother very much, but my brother——"
After hearing these words, Catherine moved her eyes away from the tree and looked at Xu Li. Her tone was filled with confusion: "How could that be?"
Xu Li didn't want to go into details: "In short, the matter is very complicated. It's not important. What's important is that the person my brother likes now is you."
Xu Li didn't want to say more, so Catherine naturally didn't ask any more questions.
She just hummed slowly.
Just when Catherine and Xu Li were standing in front of the tree, no one moved, a voice came from behind them: "Why are you standing here?"
Catherine turned around and saw Xu Yunhe and Yu Ming standing behind them.
Xu Yun's eyes fell on her.
Xu Li looked a little panicked: "Brother, we are taking a walk in the garden."
Xu Yunhe naturally noticed the tree with his eyes, but he just glanced at the tree, and then his eyes focused on Catherine: "Why didn't you go elsewhere and stayed here?"
“I saw a tree that looked very strange, so I stopped to look at it.”
When Xu Yunhe heard what she said, he walked towards her and asked with a smile: "Did you learn anything from watching it?"
"no."
Xu Yunhe's hand fell on her shoulder: "A tree is not a big deal. Let's go and go somewhere else."
Yu Ming walked up at this time and said: "There is a parrot with beautiful fur in front. Miss Catherine can go and have a look."
When Catherine heard Yu Ming's words, she looked at Yu Ming, and she thought in her heart that he was really on the rise now.
"Thank you, let's go take a look now."
So four people, two couples, walked forward to see the parrots.
Xu Yunhe was talking to Catherine in a soft voice the whole time. Catherine didn't hear a word, and her thoughts still stayed on that tree.
Of course, Yu Ming on the side has been taking care of the pregnant Xu Li, constantly telling her: "Walk slower."
Xu Li has always been out-tempered, so even when she was pregnant, she was always walking in a hurry. In response to Yu Ming's words, she kept replying: "No, don't worry, just walk, nothing will happen."
"There are cobblestones here, so be careful and you'll fall down."
"I'm not a child, I know how to read the road."
"I think you are worse than a child."
Catherine listened to the conversation of the people around her and found it quite interesting. She thought that Yu Ming and Xu Li were really good now, and the two of them got along unexpectedly.
Their previous relationship seemed more like an attempt to achieve this marriage.
"arrive."
The two words Yu Ming said directly brought Catherine back to her thoughts.
She looked forward. There was a birdcage hanging under a small tree in front of her. Inside the cage was a parrot with white feathers.
The parrot was quite lively and was pecking its feathers in the cage.
When Xu Yunhe was about to speak, a servant of the Xu family walked up to Xu Yunhe: "The eldest master asked you to come over."
When Xu Yunhe heard this, his eyes paused slightly, and then he looked towards the servant.
The servant's eyes didn't reveal anything, just looked at him.
Catherine also looked at Xu Yunhe.
In just one second, Xu Yunhe said to the people around him: "Are you looking over here first?"
Of course Catherine knew that Xu Yunhe's father asked him to come over, probably because of her affairs. She was quite sensible: "Okay, you go."
Xu Yunhe laughed and left her.
Xu Li stared at her eldest brother walking away. She thought for a long time, and suddenly she thought of something: "Ah, I seem to have forgotten to drink today's nutritional supplements."
After she finished speaking, she hurriedly grabbed Yu Ming's hand: "Come with me quickly."
But after Xu Li said it, she felt it was inappropriate. If she left with Yu Ming, what would Qiqi do?
She thought for a while and then let go of Yu Ming's hand: "Forget it, you stay here with Qiqi and take Qiqi around for a while. I'll go take some nutrition first and then come back."
Xu Li was very fond of this child. In order to provide the child with comprehensive nutrition, she found a nutritionist to prepare a lot of nutritional supplements that would help the child's development, and strictly enforced the time period for taking these nutritional supplements.
Xu Li left in a hurry without any hesitation, and Catherine thought that Yu Ming would follow her. After all, she was a pregnant wife, but Yu Ming stood there without moving.
Catherine turned her face and looked at him.
Facing her gaze, Yu Ming looked at her and asked, "Then shall I continue to take Miss Catherine for a walk?"
Catherine didn't want to be alone with him. After all, the relationship between the two was not appropriate before, and it was even worse now.
He has become a father and the husband of her best friend, and she has become his sister-in-law.
This complicated relationship is not suitable for being alone.
So Catherine said: "No, I'm a little tired. Let's go and rest for a while."
Catherine wanted to leave, but at this time, Yu Ming said: "Go back to the hall of the Xu family? Miss Catherine."
Catherine stopped again when she heard his words.
Yu Ming didn't look at her, but walked towards the parrot. He was holding a bird-teasing stick in his hand: "Why avoid suspicion? Now that you and I both have a good match, avoiding suspicion will be a bit deceptive."
When Catherine heard this, her intention to leave stopped again, and then she looked towards him.
The bird was very excited and kept chirping under the teasing stick in his hand.
"I can't find any shadow of the past in you."
