Chapter 194: Chapter 194: He Just Feels Sorry for Her Chapter 194: Chapter 194: He Just Feels Sorry for Her Zhou Ci hadn’t expected things to turn out . His face, a mottled mix of dark and purple hues, he finally managed to say, “Sorry!” and then he tried to leave.
But he was stopped by Shen Zhaozhao who said, “Wait a minute, we’re not done talking, are we?”
“What else do you want to do?” Zhou Ci glared at her.
Shen Zhaozhao said, “I told you Wei’an cares a lot about Ye Zhen, but you didn’t believe me. Now, Wei’an is right here; you can just ask her yourself.”
Zhou Ci really wanted to say she was equivocating–she had clearly said earlier that the sisters had a good relationship.
“Zhou Ci, what’s going on?” Ye Wei’an looked at Zhou Ci.
“Nothing!” Zhou Ci subconsciously wanted to avoid the topic.
Shen Zhaozhao, with wide-open eyes and a “how can he be ” expression, said, “Just now, you kept insisting that Ye Wei’an really dislikes Ye Zhen, that their show of sisterly affection is all fake. Now that you are confronted face to face, you say nothing.”
“When did I say that?” Zhou Ci was about to explode with anger; this girl was simply making things up and distorting the truth.
Shen Zhaozhao: “Everyone heard it.”
“That was clearly what you said,” Zhou Ci gritted his teeth.
Shen Zhaozhao nodded, “Yes, I said it, but I was merely translating your implication. Besides, you didn’t deny it, did you?”
“I…” Zhou Ci found himself at a loss for words and suddenly regretted it. He hadn’t expected the girl to be so troublesome; he wished he hadn’t impulsively spoken those words.
He looked at Ye Wei’an and said, “I just think it’s too hard for you to always be cleaning up after her!”
He was just feeling sorry for her.
Especially since the family learned Ye Zhen was back, they all reminded him and Ye Wei’an to keep their distance and to interact more with Ye Zhen, who was the real Ye Family princess.
Everyone thought of Wei’an as just an adopted daughter. Now that the biological daughter was back, this adoptive daughter lost her status.
Before, they had instructed him to get along well with Ye Wei’an, saying she was the only girl in the Ye Family, and he absolutely needed to forge a good relationship.
But everything changed because of that girl’s return.
Zhou Ci thought the elders were too pragmatic, and he felt increasingly sorry for Wei’an. She was so good, but just because she was adopted, everyone thought she should step aside for the biological daughter.
In his eyes, however, the wild girl they found outside couldn’t compare to a single finger of hers.
While Ye Wei’an internally cursed Shen Zhaozhao for making trouble, she looked at Zhou Ci and said, “Looking after my sister is my duty; I do not find it exhausting at all.”
“But you shouldn’t always have to clean up after her.” Zhou Ci defended her.
Ye Wei’an said gently and generously, “It’s okay. My sister just returned, and she’s still unfamiliar with everything at home. It’s only right that I look after her.”
The more she said this, the more Zhou Ci felt sorry for her.
He felt that her current situation in the Ye Family must be very challenging.
When Ye Zhen was mentioned, his tone could hardly hide his disdain: “She’s been back for a year now and is clearly helpless.”
Ye Wei’an feigned anger and interrupted him, “Zhou Ci, stop it, or I will really get mad. You all misunderstand my sister; she’s actually a very nice person.”
Shen Zhaozhao, not one to avoid stirring the pot, added, “See, I told you you’re presumptuous, making conclusions without understanding the situation. That’s not acceptable.”
Zhou Ci was so angry he felt like spitting blood, but being not good with words, he couldn’t outtalk the other party and could only hold it in, hurting himself internally.
