Lu Xingzhi completely treats Huo Jincheng as an elder, and naturally believes that Huo Jincheng just sees her as a junior.
So, she no longer opposes holding hands with him.
He probably doesn’t treat her as an adult woman yet.
Is this actually suggesting he’s old?
However, in Lu Xingzhi’s words, he really couldn’t find any reason to refute.
Seeing Huo Jincheng hold Lu Xingzhi’s hand as they walk downstairs, with a hint of indulgence and fondness in his expression, the servants decided to take good care of Lu Xingzhi and to be obedient from now on.
Moreover, Lu Xingzhi has never made things difficult for them.
It was only because of the housekeeper that they had been somewhat neglectful towards her.
Now, after hearing Huo Jincheng’s words, they dared not underestimate her at all.
Anyway, it’s none of their business whom the boss wants as a wife. Why should they bother about that? As long as they do their jobs well, Mr. Huo certainly won’t treat them badly.
Unlike them, Zhuo Yixiang thought Huo Jincheng was only momentarily fascinated by Lu Xingzhi.
When Helian Yi returned home, he found Shen Xinzhu there as well.
"Sister Xinzhu, why did you come over today?"
"I came to see you." Shen Xinzhu said, and then added with a hint of loneliness, "Little Yi, I went to Brother’s house today."
"You went to Brother’s house?!!" Helian Yi was surprised and asked, "Did you see Brother then?"
Shen Xinzhu shook her head, "No, I went to see Lu Xingzhi."
"Why did you go to see her?" Helian Yi was slightly displeased, but it was not directed at Shen Xinzhu.
Actually, it wasn’t so much directed at Lu Xingzhi either; his hostility towards her really stemmed from Shen Xinzhu’s affection for Huo Jincheng.
"Sister Xinzhu, maybe you should give up on Brother! You two..." Helian Yi pursed his lips; these words were somewhat hurtful, but he couldn’t help but say, "Sister Xinzhu, if Brother liked you, he wouldn’t have waited until Lu Xingzhi became his fiancée."
"Little Yi, do you also think I’m not worthy of Brother? I’ve been trying very hard to make myself more outstanding." Shen Xinzhu started crying while talking. "Little Yi, you know, I liked him from the first time I saw him."
"Sister Xinzhu, don’t cry!" Helian Yi was a bit frantic, "Sister Xinzhu, there are so many good men in Hua Country, you only see Brother. But Brother..."
Brother will never like you!
Brother said he likes those who are good-looking.
Looking at Shen Xinzhu, Helian Yi hesitated, but eventually chose not to say anything that might hurt her.
Shen Xinzhu is not bad, but she is still a bit lacking in making a man fall for her at first sight.
On the other hand, Lu Xingzhi - forget it, why mention her.
Lu Xingzhi really isn’t worthy of Brother either.
Just one Lu Xingzhi, now making many people unhappy.
"But I only love Huo Jincheng. From the first time I saw him, my eyes could see no one else." Shen Xinzhu clutched Helian Yi’s clothes, "Little Yi, if it were someone truly worthy of him, I would accept it. But, Lu Xingzhi is only after Brother’s money."
She looked pitifully at Helian Yi, "Little Yi, Lu Xingzhi said it herself, she is vain, greedy, and lustful. How can someone like her be worthy of the dignified and elegant Huo Jincheng."
