"This child is always so hasty," Wen Ruya smiled slightly, elegantly sipping her water, and looked at Shen Xinzhu, "Xinzhu, how are the wedding preparations going?"
"Almost done," Shen Xinzhu looked up at Wen Ruya, her tone indifferent, and her complexion wasn’t good.
She loathed the Helian Family now.
These people obviously knew she liked Huo Jincheng. Even though she was her son’s lifesaver, they never spoke a word on her behalf.
If they, as elders, had spoken to Huo Jincheng about being with her, she wouldn’t have to marry Cheng Zhiyan now.
She’s not a biological daughter, after all, she’s no match for Helian Xi.
Helian Xi could casually ask for a car worth millions, and Wen Ruya would nod in agreement.
Saying they treated her like a daughter, and in the end?
They want her to marry a man she doesn’t love.
She has seen through it all.
They talk about being a lifesaver, is this how you treat a lifesaver?
"If there’s anything missing, just tell the family. I’m tired; I’ll head back to my room," Wen Ruya was always warmly indifferent and distant towards Shen Xinzhu.
As an elder, naturally, she disliked girls full of calculations.
Only because Shen Xinzhu had saved her son, did she choose to ignore it. Initially, Wen Ruya had subtly mentioned these things to Shen Xinzhu; young people shouldn’t be overly calculative.
Put your thoughts in the right place.
However, Shen Xinzhu never listened, or she thought that whenever they disciplined her, it was full of malice.
Over time, Wen Ruya stopped mentioning these things.
So, it wasn’t that they were cold to Shen Xinzhu from the start, but rather that Shen Xinzhu herself didn’t want to fit in.
"Sister Xinzhu, let me refill your water!" Helian Yi took the cup from Shen Xinzhu’s hand and poured her another half glass of water.
"Third Brother is really generous to Lu Xingzhi," Shen Xinzhu said mockingly.
The man she had liked for years treasured another woman so much. It was just a birthday and Valentine’s Day, and he lavishly gifted items worth billions.
Helian Xi held the cup, not really wanting to answer Shen Xinzhu’s question.
How should he say it?
Say that it was Third Brother’s own choice, and no one forced him?
"Sister Xinzhu, don’t think about Third Brother anymore. Since Cheng Zhiyan likes you, he will treat you like a treasure as well." Helian Yi didn’t want to say much more, because everything now could be said to be Shen Xinzhu’s own doing. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⟡fire.net
"How can he compare to Huo Jincheng? He’s not even on par with you." Having liked someone like Huo Jincheng, how could she look at anyone else?
The brothers around Huo Jincheng were all excellent, but they had no vision either.
And Amanda, that bitch.
She actually dared to set her up.
She even became friends with Lu Xingzhi, and ended up with Qin Shihuai.
When Shen Xinzhu found out about this, it was infuriating.
Why does Lu Xingzhi always have such good luck?
"Does it matter if he compares to Third Brother? Wasn’t he your own choice?" Helian Yi’s voice was flat but carried some sarcasm, "Wasn’t it you who deliberately enticed him? Otherwise, how would things end up ?"
Shen Xinzhu could have married better, with the Helian Family backing her. But she didn’t cherish it.
She chose all of this herself.
