Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Beat Once at a Time

“Sister, don’t be in such a rush.” She said with a smile, resting her chin on her hand. “I’m very curious, hadn’t you already succeeded in climbing into He Shaoye’s bed? Why do you still look so undignified? Staying in a dorm, eating at the cafeteria… Tsk, could it be that He Shaoye doesn’t fancy you, so he abandoned you after getting his way? Oh, that’s truly pitiful.”
Su Lianxi showed a look of pity.
Originally, after hearing from her mother about that morning’s event, she was indeed a bit worried. After all, it was the He Family, and even though Yichen was temporarily no match for the young master of the He Family.
But seeing Su Zixi at school eased Su Lianxi’s mind.
Come to think of it, He Shaoye had seen all kinds of women, why would he take Su Lianxi seriously? Even if they slept together, for He Shaoye, it was probably just a freebie brought to his doorstep.
Su Zixi took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. “Su Lianxi, where on earth are my mother’s ashes?”
“Speaking of your mother… It seems she was just like you, destined to never win a man’s heart.” Su Lianxi laughed lightly, the pity and disdain on her face deepening.
Su Zixi felt a surge of anger rush to her head!
She trembled with rage, stretched out her right hand, and swung it fiercely towards Su Lianxi’s face!
Unfortunately, her hand was caught midway by a hot, large hand. On the opposite side, Su Lianxi replaced her expression with a pitiful and panic-stricken look.
“Yichen, you’re here!” She hugged Ning Yichen’s waist as if she was terrified.
Ning Yichen coldly glanced at Su Zixi, shook off her hand, then patted Su Lianxi’s back soothingly. “It’s okay, I’m here.”
Su Zixi stared blankly at the suddenly appearing Ning Yichen, her eyes growing hot.
Back then, she had taken care of Ning Yichen without complaint for three years, all for that unwavering commitment.
To strangers, Ning Yichen could risk his life to save them. So for people he cared about, he must certainly do the same.
The feeling of being protected in someone’s palm was something she’d almost never experienced before, so she couldn’t help but yearn for it. That’s why she foolishly took care of Ning Yichen for three years.
In hindsight, her intentions weren’t entirely pure. But this longing, she had quietly kept in her heart, never intending to leverage it against Ning Yichen. Back then, all she thought was, as long as he woke up, it would be fine.
He finally woke up, but the attention and unwavering commitment she’d once hoped for ended up with Su Lianxi.
Perhaps they were a match made in heaven after all. Otherwise, why else would Ning Yichen save Su Lianxi back then?
“Su Zixi, Lianxi is your sister. Even if you’re dissatisfied with her, you shouldn’t resort to violence.” Ning Yichen suppressed his anger as he spoke to her.
Su Zixi stared at him blankly.
His anger and his concern for Su Lianxi were written all over his face.
Su Zixi now knew that Su Lianxi had just used an excuse to bring her here. She must have planned it all along with Ning Yichen, choosing the perfect moment for him to appear and saying those things deliberately to provoke her.
She suddenly burst into laughter, looking at Su Lianxi, and said word by word, “Because she deserves to be hit!”
Su Lianxi continued to lean against Ning Yichen as if in fear and stammered, “Sister, I’m sorry…”
“Su Lianxi, I don’t care what you say about me. But if you dare to insult my mother, every time I see you, I’ll hit you!” Su Zixi threatened.
