Shen Xinzhu, with a sobbing tone, said, "Little Yi, I didn’t expect to be humiliated by Lu Xingzhi today. I merely said she shouldn’t be so shamelessly wasting Brother’s money. I just think one should rely on oneself."
"Sister Xinzhu, it’s natural for men to spend money on women. Brother gave her a supplementary card, meaning she’s free to use it," Helian Yi didn’t know how to continue, "Sister Xinzhu, when it comes to matters of the heart, I genuinely can’t help you."
"Little Yi, I’m not asking you to help me. I’m just..." Shen Xinzhu said, then started sobbing again, "I’m just feeling awful. If you haven’t fallen in love with someone, you won’t understand that feeling of unrequited love."
"Sister Xinzhu, you are excellent. In this Imperial City, you can find other outstanding men. But Brother doesn’t like you. For the past six years, I’ve been trying to create opportunities for you. If Brother had any intentions toward you, he would have been with you long ago. Lu Xingzhi wouldn’t even stand a chance."
Helian Yi felt he must make things clear to her, "Sister Xinzhu, for you to be with Brother, I’ve almost become estranged from everyone. Even though Brother doesn’t like Lu Xingzhi, he now cherishes her deeply, worried about her unhappiness, scared she gets bullied..."
"I know Brother doesn’t like me, but I also want him to be with a more remarkable woman. Lu Xingzhi is truly unsuitable; you know, a girl so vain and materialistic doesn’t deserve to be with him."
Shen Xinzhu continued to persuade Helian Yi, hoping he would sabotage the relationship between Huo Jincheng and Lu Xingzhi.
"So what? Brother likes her. Asking me to ruin it, are you telling me to die?" Helian Yi was already furious.
"Little Yi, what are you saying? You’re breaking my heart! Is that how you see me?" Shen Xinzhu questioned tearfully.
"If I do anything more to Lu Xingzhi, Sister Xinzhu, the Helian Family will be ruined by my hands. Of course, you would fare worse; you wouldn’t stand gloriously on the stage. Huo Jincheng would tarnish your reputation, making life a worse than death experience. I need to rest. Please don’t talk to me again about Lu Xingzhi and Brother."
This was the first time Helian Yi had so assertively rejected Shen Xinzhu; these words weren’t intended for her.
But he couldn’t cross the line.
Lu Xingzhi never did anything wrong; she was the most innocent one from start to finish.
Although he didn’t like her, he wouldn’t do anything to hurt her.
That Lu Xingzhi is truly annoying, never letting anyone have peace of mind.
Why did she have to have such a striking face for no reason?
It’s all her fault, causing him so much trouble.
Shen Xinzhu heard the ’beep beep’ sound from the phone, and inexplicably panicked.
All her reliance was on the Helian Family, but her biggest support was Helian Yi.
She must not let Helian Yi resent her, hearing Helian Yi utter those heartless words, she was scared.
But she herself couldn’t make a move.
Only Helian Yi was the most suitable.
Lu Xingzhi was awakened by the pain in her stomach in the morning, and Huo Jincheng came knocking to call her for breakfast, only to find her face ashen white.
"Zhi Zhi, what’s wrong? Is your stomach uncomfortable?" Huo Jincheng was anxious, not sure what to do, "Let me take you to the hospital!"
