He Sui was furious, and even He Ning's face was extremely ugly!

Needless to say, He Zhou's handsome face was almost entirely covered in gloom.

He Yi and He Chen had grim faces and unconsciously clenched their fists.

Zhu Qian, however, was not afraid of the simmering anger in the air. She glanced at them with her almond-shaped eyes and sneered, "I'm just stating the facts. If you're not happy about it, the Zhu family won't bother with you."

He Sui roared, unable to contain himself, and was about to rush up and beat someone up.

Sudden--

"They're trash, so what are you?"

He Jing's extremely clear, cool, and melodious voice rang out.

"A student who fails every exam... a pig?"

In an instant, the living room fell silent.

The He brothers were both stunned.

This was the first time they had ever heard He Jing swear...

Zhu Qian's face contorted with rage. She turned to look at He Jing, gritting her teeth and spitting fire in her eyes.

That look was enough to make anyone want to devour He Jing.

He Jing looked at her calmly: "That's also true."

Zhu Qian retorted, "What's so great about good grades? You can't even afford skincare products."

He Jing remained remarkably calm: "I don't need to apply it."

"puff--"

He Sui couldn't help but laugh.

A hint of a smile appeared on He Ning's beautiful eyes.

This was the first time He Zhou had ever found He Jing so pleasing to the eye.

He Yi's lips twitched.

He Chen couldn't help but chuckle, looking quite pleased.

Zhu Qian's face turned pale with anger, and she clenched her fists: "You're all talk and no action. In the end, you still have to listen to the Zhu family."

He Jing didn't reply, her eyes filled with coldness, which she felt now, but would soon not.

Zhu Qian had no idea what He Jing was thinking. She just assumed that He Jing had been rendered speechless and laughed happily. She snorted triumphantly and went back to her room.

The living room fell silent again. After a while, He Sui walked to He Jing's side, lowered his head and said dejectedly, "I'm sorry, He Jing, I've made you suffer."

She could have avoided this mistreatment; it's all their fault for not being firm enough and bringing her here.

He Jing smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? I believe Fourth Brother will definitely be successful in the future. It's not like what she said."

Normally, He Sui would be overjoyed to hear such praise, but right now he only felt guilty.

He silently vowed that he would study harder when he got back, make something of himself, and make He Jing able to hold her head high in front of others.

He Ning remained relatively calm: "Let's go back first."

As the Zhu family's door opened and closed with a loud thud, leaving a slight echo, Qian Lizhen and Zhu Qiang emerged from the room.

Qian Lizhen was a little worried: "Those little brats won't come tonight, will they?"

Zhu Qiang replied calmly, "No, that won't happen."

They'd been scolded for so long and hadn't been driven away, so Zhu Qian's few words were nothing to them.

This gave Zhu Qian a chance to vent her anger.

As Zhu Qiang expected, He Jing and He Ning came that evening, but He Yi and He Chen did not.

He Ning chose them to stay at home to take care of He Xiaoguo. He Zhou, who didn't want to come, was repeatedly asked to come by He Ning. He had a cold face the whole time and it wasn't a pleasant experience.

Especially when he saw Zhu Qian and Zhu Rui at the food stall, his already icy handsome face darkened even more, which annoyed He Zhou.

He looked at He Ning and sneered, "You specifically called me here to be bullied?"

He Ning said indifferently, "The fifth and sixth brothers have been helping their aunt for so many days, they must be very tired."
