[Zhiyan, how about I speak to Third Brother for you? We’re good friends, and even though Xiao Xi is like a sister to me, I don’t want to see you suffer for the sake of the Cheng Family.]
Cheng Zhiyan’s expression softened a bit, his furrowed brows slowly relaxing, [You don’t have to worry about me. You’re having a hard time yourself. Don’t create tensions with the Helian Family because of my issues.]
Shen Xinzhu saw his message and smiled faintly. Of course, she wasn’t going to help him. It was none of her business.
What she wanted wasn’t just this.
Cheng Zhiyan rubbed his forehead, opened a drawer, took out a keychain, and looked at it for a long time, lost in thought, before putting it back in.
Helian Xi knew nothing about these things.
All these people underestimated her. She’s not stupid. Even if she really ended up with Cheng Zhiyan, she wouldn’t speak to Jin Chen for their family.
When she returned to her room, all she could think about was tomorrow’s National Style competition.
Actually, she hadn’t told Lu Xingzhi that there was a program. Their National Style Societies were always at odds, none willing to yield to the others, but each had many fans.
It wasn’t that she didn’t tell; she just didn’t quite understand it herself.
But she felt that with Lu Xingzhi there, it would definitely be a sweep.
How should she talk to Little Zhi Liao tomorrow?
When on stage, just let her sing a song or read a poem; that’s fine.
In this looks-driven world, she just needed to stand there with a book to win.
With these thoughts, she slowly drifted off to sleep.
As for Cheng Zhiyan, sorry, he was already forgotten by her.
She used to like going to Cheng Zhiyan with everything, sharing good things with him. But later on...
Let’s just say time is the best thing.
Early the next morning, Helian Xi got up; she still had to pick up Lu Xingzhi.
But she was surprised to see Helian Yi.
"Helian Yi, why are you home today? And up so early?"
"Helian Xi, get it straight, this is my home too. What’s wrong with me coming back? Also, I’m your brother." Helian Yi’s good morning mood was spoiled by Helian Xi.
"Who knows! I thought your home was with Shen Xinzhu." Helian Xi rolled her eyes and headed straight to the dining table.
"I don’t live with her, thank you very much." Helian Yi was really annoyed. What did she mean his home was with Shen Xinzhu? They had never lived together.
"Not my business." Helian Xi shrugged, sitting next to Wen Ruya, "Mom, today I’m going to a National Style competition with Gu Jin Yan and Little Zhi. Do you want to come watch?"
"You restless child. You must have asked your sister-in-law to help again!" Wen Ruya smiled, "I won’t go. Just send me videos when you can."
"Helian Xi, want me to come with you?" Helian Yi was free, but he was just offering casually.
As a big celebrity, if he showed up there, who would watch the stage?
Everyone would crowd around him instead.
"No, thanks." Helian Xi didn’t need his help.
This brother of hers had never been of any help to her. He’s even less useful than that annoying Gu Jin Yan!
After breakfast, Helian Xi went to the Huo Family to pick up Lu Xingzhi.
Lu Xingzhi was already up and greeted her with a gentle smile, "Xixi, you’re here early."
