The matter concerning Boss Sheng was just a minor episode.
Xinghe's emotions came and went quickly, and she soon put Boss Sheng out of her mind.
Instead of wasting your own time, put pressure on others.
She wanted to make these proud sons of the Sheng family realize that there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding.
The aroma of hot pot wafted from the backyard, and Xinghe quickly walked over.
"Little sister, come here quickly, you're the only one we're waiting for."
Sheng Heng, with his sharp eyes, spotted Xinghe immediately and waved to him.
Sheng Qian thought of getting up, but awkwardly sat back down in her original seat.
Sheng Hongyang and his entire family arrived.
Shi Shulan held the bound exam papers, her eyes gleaming with pride. "Not bad, you didn't disgrace our family."
“My classmate’s younger brother is in the math department at University A. He said the final exam last semester was very difficult, and almost half of the students failed. His sister got a perfect score, which is really amazing.”
He gave a thumbs-up to the Milky Way.
"Come on in, sit down quickly, the pot is boiling, we can start eating now."
"Come on, let's raise a glass to congratulate my sister on getting into the mathematics department of University A with excellent grades."
Congratulations!
"Congratulations, Miss."
Sheng Heng smiled and said, "I forgot to say, welcome home, little sister."
"Thank you, Brother Shengheng."
"That's too formal. Just call me brother, it doesn't matter."
Xinghe's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Okay, brother."
The second and fourth brothers of the Sheng family felt a pang of jealousy, as if they were soaking in a jar of vinegar.
At the same time, they felt increasingly anxious, realizing that if things continued like this, there would truly be no place for them by Xinghe's side.
They are clearly Xinghe's biological brothers, but Sheng Heng, that shameless guy, came here to steal their sister away.
Because he was so happy, Xinghe drank some wine.
She had never drunk alcohol before, and it was a bit spicy, with a strange taste.
Not long after drinking it, Xinghe's head began to spin, and everything around him became blurry. He felt dizzy and a little uncomfortable.
She felt a little hot, so she stopped eating and sat obediently in place.
Shi Shulan and Ye Ning had endless topics to talk about as soon as they met, while Sheng Xiuwen and Sheng Hongyang also whispered about company matters.
Sheng Lao Er's attention was always on Xinghe.
He was worried that what Boss Sheng had said earlier might have affected Xinghe's mood, but it seemed that Xinghe was unaffected.
He was the first to discover the situation of the Milky Way.
Xinghe's face flushed crimson, and her large, round eyes welled up with tears as she gazed ahead.
They sat obediently and demurely.
Sheng Lao Er slowly dawdled over to Xinghe's side.
He called out softly, "Little sister."
Xinghe looked up, her gaze seemingly focused on him, yet also seemingly not.
She subconsciously hummed in agreement.
Sheng Lao Er called out again, "Sister."
"Um!"
Xinghe nodded heavily, his voice a little louder than before.
Sheng Lao Er's heart was soaking in the hot spring, swaying violently.
He pointed to himself, "Me, my second brother."
Xinghe's hazy gaze focused on Sheng Lao Er, and she tilted her head as if she was thinking about something.
Sheng Lao Er took out the diamond bracelet that he had prepared long ago but never had a chance to give away, and waved it in front of Xinghe. "Call me Second Brother. This is a gift from your Second Brother."
Each pink diamond was cut to the same size, strung together, and allowed light to pass through.
Xinghe liked these sparkly things, and her little cat eyes sparkled too. She called out, "Second Brother."
Sheng Lao Er paused for a moment, and for some reason felt a lump in his throat.
He placed the bracelet on Xinghe's hand, "Good little sister."
"Second brother, what are you doing?"
Sheng Lao Si looked curiously in the direction of Sheng Lao Er and Xing He.
Sheng Lao Er blocked Xinghe.
"It's nothing, your older brother hasn't arrived yet, go and check on him."
Sheng Lao Si: "Okay."
Sheng Laosan picked up his wine glass, twirled it in his hand, and then drank it down in one gulp.
“I feel so sorry for Yueyue. She’s lying in the hospital while we’re here celebrating for the person who took her place.”
He chuckled, "I didn't see them this happy when Yueyue got into A University."
Sheng Laowu said, "Third Brother, that's a bit much. When Yueyue's grades came out, the graduation banquet lasted for three days. Who in the entire capital didn't know that?"
Sheng Laowu also held up his wine glass and clinked it with Sheng Laosan's. "Things have developed to this point, and all we can do is accept it."
He smiled casually, "Xinghe Liuluo has only just returned after so many years away, so naturally Mom and Dad cherish her. If we go against her, we're just pushing Mom and Dad to the opposite side."
His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed the red wine in his glass. "The current situation is unfavorable for Yueyue and for both of us."
Sheng Laosan was heartbroken and disappointed. "Yueyue almost lost her life. Nineteen years of friendship can't compare to a light blood tie."
Sheng Laowu glanced at Xinghe and smiled, "I'd like to know how long Xinghe can maintain this facade in front of Mom and Dad."
Is it really possible for someone to be like Xinghe, proficient in everything and without any flaws?
Moreover, he was a child who grew up in the mountains and in a Taoist temple.
All of this is too suspicious.
Sheng Laowu didn't believe it.
Sheng Lao Er wanted to coax Xinghe to call out a couple more times, but he didn't know when he would have another chance after Xinghe woke up.
He poured Xinghe a glass of warm water. "Little sister, call me 'Second Brother' one more time."
Xinghe felt even more dizzy, her eyes filled with tears, and she sat there staring at Sheng Lao Er, unable to hear what he was saying.
"Sheng Lao Er?" Sheng Heng led the golden boy and jade girl on a wild trip, and when they came back, they saw Sheng Lao Er, who didn't look like a good person.
