After hanging up the phone, Huo Jincheng started talking to Lu Xingzhi about the matter.
"Do I need to prepare anything?" Lu Xingzhi was already calm, after all, they were seniors she had already met, so she wasn’t nervous anymore.
"No need. You just need to dress pretty and beautifully."
This wasn’t a problem, Lu Xingzhi thought she could manage. After all, since that shopping trip, Huo Jincheng knew her sizes and had bought her lots of clothes.
Her once empty dressing room was now almost full of clothes.
As Lu Xingzhi walked into the Helian family villa hand in hand with Huo Jincheng, she couldn’t help but marvel at the wealth.
When could she ever own such a big villa?
In the Capital City, owning such a villa in such a location, with such a large ground, and such luxurious decor.
Forget it, she might as well dream!
Lu Xingzhi clearly knew her own worth, she would never make that much money in her life.
However, her nominal fiancé could.
Sensing Lu Xingzhi’s gaze, Huo Jincheng looked over. Although she was looking at him, there was not a hint of admiration in her eyes, it seemed more like envy.
What was she envious of?
Lu Xingzhi shifted her gaze, not caught in the awkwardness, she simply touched her ear.
"Little Zhi Liao, Third Brother, you’re here!" Helian Xi was the first to notice them and quickly moved to greet them.
"Xixi." Lu Xingzhi called out to her, her gaze then attracted by a white piano in the hall.
Unconsciously, she moved towards it, her affectionate and bright eyes gently curved downwards, as if seeing her loved one, cautiously approaching, a sweet and happy smile outlining her lips.
She reached out, just about to touch it, when Helian Yi’s angry voice rang out.
"Stop! Lu Xingzhi, what are you doing? This piano is Sister Xinzhi’s most treasured possession, don’t touch it carelessly. Do you think you’re worthy of such a piano? If you break it, can you afford to pay for it?"
Lu Xingzhi’s hand stiffened in mid-air, she awkwardly withdrew it, a hint of sadness flashing through her eyes, lowering her gaze, her voice somber, "I’m sorry."
Helian Yi usually had a sharp tongue, especially when facing Lu Xingzhi.
However, with her sudden apology, he felt no sense of accomplishment, rather a bit uncomfortable.
"Helian Yi!" Huo Jincheng’s voice carried anger and warning, he chuckled mockingly, "This piano must be really valuable. It seems you think the worth of me, Huo Jincheng, is less than a piano."
"Third Brother, I didn’t mean that. I just..." he was just habitually criticizing Lu Xingzhi a bit.
"No need to say anything else, it seems I shouldn’t have brought Zhi Zhi here today." Huo Jincheng took hold of Lu Xingzhi’s hand, softening his voice significantly, "Let’s go home."
"Third Brother, Little Zhi Liao, don’t go! Dad, please come down quickly!" Helian Xi clung to Lu Xingzhi’s hand, refusing to let go, looking at Helian Yi with disdain, "Helian Yi, you really went too far, why don’t you go be with Shen Xinzhu!"
"What’s going on here?" Helian Cheng and Wen Ruya both came out from the kitchen.
They were not yet aware of the situation outside.
"It’s still about Brother, Little Zhi Liao just wanted to touch Shen Xinzhu’s broken piano and he spoke so harshly. Little Zhi Liao, don’t mind him." Helian Xi sulked, her face flushed, yet adorably cute.
