On the painting boat, Ping Zhao was scrutinizing Chen Ji with great interest.
On the dock, Yuan Xing, Jiang Chai, and the others were dumbfounded, not knowing what Chen Ji was up to, suddenly calling out for his mother.
The only one who knew what was going on, Old Ears, laughed out loud beside him, but didn't defend him; he just mocked, "Kid, others get close by calling someone elder brother or sister, but you go straight to calling her mother?"
Chen Ji ignored him, looked up at Ping Zhao. The other party's black clothes and hat were obviously those Mrs. Lu often wore. Not only did the style and fabric match, but their figures were also very similar, which was probably why Mrs. Lu borrowed Ping Zhao's name.
He cupped his hands to Ping Zhao and said, "Sorry, that was a slip of the tongue."
