"Did she really say that?" Helian Yi’s voice bore traces of anger. He knew Lu Xingzhi wasn’t a good person, yet Third Brother seemed to have made up his mind about her.
"Little Yi, do you think I would make up these stories to deceive you?" Shen Xinzhu looked up, deeply distressed.
"Sister Xinzhi, that’s not what I mean. I already talked to Third Brother about this a while ago, but he doesn’t care." What more could he do? He’s advised, he’s done everything he could.
"Whoa! Who’s this? What a pure white lotus flower! My Third Brother’s proper fiancée, she says she’s vain, greedy, lustful, and she told you that—she was just teasing you! Only a fool like Helian Yi would believe you."
Just as Shen Xinzhu was about to say something, a girl walked in from outside and interrupted her.
Rolling her eyes, Helian Xi mockingly said, "She isn’t worthy, but you are? Have you forgotten that you started with nothing, lonely and forsaken? If Helian Yi hadn’t decided you saved him, do you think you could have stayed at our house?"
"Helian Xi, what are you saying? Sister Xinzhi may have the surname Shen, but she’s our sister. Stop yelling ’Sister Xinzhi’ so rudely. Where’s your etiquette? How are you speaking?" Helian Yi scolded sternly.
"Where was your etiquette when you targeted Third Brother’s fiancée? Did she wrong you? Jeez! Talking to me about etiquette, Helian Yi, why don’t you learn how to open your eyes and see people first! My manners are reserved for the right people, for this white lotus, let’s just say I have no manners."
Helian Xi glanced dismissively at Shen Xinzhu, shrugged, and went upstairs to her room.
However, she hadn’t met Third Brother’s fiancée yet!
She planned to check her out tomorrow.
It’s not fair that everyone else has met her but she hasn’t!
"Helian Xi, stop right there! Apologize to Sister Xinzhi immediately." Helian Yi glanced at Shen Xinzhu, and seeing her about to crumble, knew Helian Xi’s words had hurt her again.
He originally wanted Shen Xinzhu to change to the Helian surname, but the parents didn’t agree. They were willing to adopt her but not change her surname.
Especially since Shen Xinzhu liked Huo Jincheng, the matter didn’t progress.
He knew Shen Xinzhu had no sense of security living under someone else’s roof.
However, for some reason, Helian Xi seemed to dislike Shen Xinzhu, despite being amicable to others.
"Helian Yi, I’m telling Mom and Dad you bullied me." Helian Xi was the family princess, especially to Helian Cheng, who never had the heart to say a harsh word to her.
"Little Yi, don’t be . You’re siblings with Xiao Xi, don’t hurt your relationship because of me. I... I’ll just leave for now..." Shen Xinzhu wiped her tears and ran outside.
But she hated Helian Xi to the core, that wretched girl was always targeting her.
"Helian Xi!!" Helian Yi glared at Helian Xi and went after Shen Xinzhu.
"Indeed a white lotus." Helian Xi pouted in anger, nearly throwing up yesterday’s meal.
Helian Yi, the idiot!
What kind of vision is that!
A handsome guy wasted.
Blind at such a young age.
As Lu Xingzhi was heading back up the stairs to her room, she suddenly stopped and said to Huo Jincheng, "Oh yeah, Uncle, Shen Xinzhu came to your house today during the day."
