He Zhou frowned: "Okay, then I'll take you to a piano lesson."

He Xiaoguo nodded obediently: "Mm."

Cheng Yi was stunned. Were they really not tempted at all by the cake and drinks? Knowing them as she did, they would definitely go if there was such a good deal.

Two months ago, He Sui and He Xiaoguo were drooling over the cake models in the pastry shop, unable to move. At that time, He Sui made a bold statement: "When I have money in the future, I will definitely eat ten cakes a day."

He Xiaoguo's round, chubby face clearly showed a big "greedy" expression, but she still reminded He Sui in a soft, sweet voice, "Fourth Brother, eating too many sweets will cause cavities. Just eat nine."

How long has it been!

He Ning, He Zhou, and the others used to look at the sparklers in other people's hands with envy during the New Year. After they grew up, they stopped playing with sparklers because they wanted to save money.

But now there are even grander and more dazzling fireworks, so why would they refuse?

“But…” Cheng Yi said, her voice tinged with grievance, “I’ve already asked my classmates for invitations and even had dresses custom-made for you. Don’t you want to go to the ball and see what Sister He Jing looks like in her gown?”

Um?

The He brothers were instantly invigorated. They looked at each other, their eyes revealing a mixture of excitement and hesitation.

Cheng Yi lowered her head and said sadly, "I know my brothers don't want to participate in this kind of boring activity. I just wanted you to glance at me while you were looking at Sister He Jing."

“I don’t think I’ve ever worn a dress in front of my brothers, and I’ve never seen them in a suit.”

Her tone sounded so disappointed, so disappointed that it made you feel like you would be committing a crime if you said "no" again.

The He brothers finally stopped considering He Jing for the time being and felt guilty towards Cheng Yi. Cheng Yi had kindly asked her classmates for invitations and even bought them formal wear, but they refused without any gratitude.

She was so humble; all she wanted was for them to see her in a dress. What's wrong with that? Girls will always love to look beautiful.

If it were He Jing...

Forget it, they couldn't imagine He Jing looking so aggrieved as she asked them to see her in a formal dress. If it were her, she would probably just swirl her wine glass and give them a cold look after putting on the dress.

Cheng Yi continued, "If the brothers don't want to go, then they don't have to. I won't mention it anymore. Let's continue eating."

He Yi pondered, "Going isn't out of the question. We can deal with the junk at home after we get back from the ball."

He Chen sighed: "Xiao Yi, it's really hard for us to refuse you."

Whenever she made a request, they would submit as long as she softened her voice.

He Zhou suddenly asked, "How much is a dress?"

Cheng Yi was taken aback, then bit her lip: "A few tens of thousands of yuan, Third Brother. Don't worry, the Cheng family has prepared it for me..."

He Zhou replied solemnly, "No, the dress is too expensive for He Jing to afford."

Immediately, Cheng Yi's expression froze. It took her a long time to suppress her urge to explode, and she said indistinctly, "Third Brother, Sister He Jing is very capable. She has a way to solve this kind of thing. Moreover, she has a good relationship with her classmates. If she wants to borrow it, she can probably do so."

He Zhou raised an eyebrow and raised his voice: "Borrow?"

"Third Brother..."

"No, the He family should not borrow things from others unless absolutely necessary."

Cheng Yi hesitated and said, "If we can't afford it, we'll have to borrow it. Of course, I don't think Sister He Jing will borrow it. She made a lot of money selling notes in class before, and this year the scholarship from Yin Gaofa has been doubled."
