The news that Xinghe used Sheng Yue's photo as her profile picture spread throughout the entire Sheng family that very afternoon.
This was the first time Wang Ma and the others had seen Sheng Yue like this in all the years they had worked for the Sheng family.
They dared not say anything openly, but they had some reservations in their hearts.
The aunties often dealt with Sheng Yue and already knew her true colors in private.
However, this is the first time I've seen it look so grotesque and twisted.
As Sheng Yue stepped out of the room, she felt as if she were being ridiculed. She felt like everyone was laughing at her and mocking her.
A bunch of lowly creatures. If it weren't for the Sheng family giving them food, they would all be begging on the streets.
How dare you laugh at her!
When she returns to the Sheng family, she will make these people kneel on the ground and serve her!
Sheng Yue's face was gloomy; she absolutely could not let Xinghe continue using this avatar.
She first called Sheng Laowu.
"Yueyue, what's wrong?"
"Fifth Brother," Sheng Yue said, her voice trembling with tears, "I cooked some chicken soup for my eldest brother and third brother this afternoon."
"Xinghe came downstairs and wanted me to give her the helicopter and cruise ship that my parents had given me. I... I couldn't bear to part with them, and my expression changed a little. She took a picture of me and used it as her profile picture."
Her sobs grew louder. "I know I look ugly after I got hurt, but Xinghe... she went too far."
"What should I do if these photos get circulated?"
Sheng Laowu frowned. "Xinghe really did that?"
Sheng Yue didn't answer, she just cried into the phone.
Sheng Laowu said, "I have some things to take care of here. I'll talk to her when I get back. Don't worry."
"But Fifth Brother, they all saw it, more and more people saw it."
Sheng Laowu pressed the wound on his arm, and blood oozed out. He frowned; the people who had captured him were almost there.
He was still trying to comfort Sheng Yue, saying, "Yueyue, it's okay, it's just a photo."
"I'll hang up now, we'll talk about it when I get back."
When Sheng Yue heard the dial tone on the other end of the phone, she was so angry that she almost threw her phone away.
She knew it; they were all hypocrites.
She took a deep breath and called Sheng Laosi again, giving the same answer.
Sheng Lao Si: "Ah? Xinghe, is there some misunderstanding? Xinghe isn't that kind of person."
Sheng Lao Si secretly thought, "Why don't you ask Xinghe to add me? I'll have a good talk with her."
Sheng Yue's hands, gripping her phone, turned white as she spoke, each word distinct, "I don't have Xinghe's contact information; she won't add me."
"I see." There was a hint of disappointment in Sheng Lao Si's voice. "Alright then, I'll talk about it when I get back."
Sheng Yue threw her phone away, and it shattered into pieces on the ground with a loud crash.
Her face was gloomy, and she bit her lower lip hard before getting up to find Boss Sheng.
Boss Sheng has been busy lately, and he only managed to squeeze in time to pick up Sheng Yue from the hospital today.
He was holding a video conference in his study.
Sheng Yue barged in.
"Big brother." A mournful voice came through the computer.
Boss Sheng frowned in displeasure, but his expression softened slightly when he saw Sheng Yue. "What's wrong with Yueyue?"
He said to the screen, "The meeting is paused."
Then the microphone was turned off.
"Big brother, Xinghe really used my photo as his profile picture, what should I do?"
"Let's have a good talk with her later. Xinghe is a person..."
Boss Sheng recalled the recent events and was unsure of what to do. "I've dragged you into this. Xinghe is targeting me."
Sheng Yue's eyes welled up with tears. "Big brother, I have never appeared in front of anyone looking like that before."
"Could you talk to Xinghe and ask her to delete the photos? You're the older brother, she'll listen to you."
Boss Sheng was in a dilemma. Xinghe would never listen to him. He had never gained the upper hand when he fought Xinghe.
Sheng Laoda patiently coaxed Sheng Yue for a long time, but Sheng Yue kept crying.
They wanted Boss Sheng to intervene.
The people on the other end of the video call were waiting for him; this meeting was very important, but Sheng Yue showed no sign of leaving.
Boss Sheng frowned. "Why don't you take a picture of her and use it as your profile picture?"
Sheng Yue was furious.
It's only been a short time since we last saw each other, and they've changed so much. They even said they'd treat her well for the rest of their lives.
Boss Sheng glanced at the meeting interface; some people on the other end of the meeting were already starting to get impatient.
The meeting was with his business partners, and leaving them waiting for too long would not be good for either the company or him.
He patted Sheng Yue on the shoulder, "Yueyue, go back to your room and wait for me. I'll come find you in a bit."
Sheng Yue's anger continued to build in her chest. She lowered her eyes, hiding the expression in them. "Fine, I'm fine, big brother. Let them laugh at me."
"You're busy, I'll be going now."
She doesn't want to touch Sheng Laosan for the time being. Sheng Laosan is an idiot who only knows how to argue with Xinghe.
If he intervenes, things might get even worse.
Sheng Yue didn't want to give up on Sheng Lao Er's side either.
She repeated all the same things she had said to Sheng Lao Er, putting on her best act of looking aggrieved and pitiful.
She even deliberately showed off the scars on her arms.
Sheng Lao Er remained unmoved and ignored her feigned pitifulness.
"As long as you don't provoke Xinghe, Xinghe won't target you."
"In Xinghe's eyes, my existence is a mistake. What can I do to make Xinghe accept me? Second brother, tell me what I did wrong?"
Sheng Lao Er put down his book and said casually, "Then just avoid Xinghe and you'll be fine."
Sheng Yue left in tears.
She was in the corner, clutching the jade pendant around her neck, [Kill Xinghe now, right now!]
I can't take it anymore, I never want to see her again!
Even the evil spirits were getting impatient. "I told you, Xinghe is very strange; we can't touch her for now."
Sheng Yue threatened, "[It's always the same thing you say. What are you even capable of? Believe me or not, I'll smash you right now!]"
The evil spirit inside the jade pendant curled its lips in disdain.
He coaxed, "It will take some time. Once you can win back the hearts of your brothers, I will be able to deal with Xinghe."
[A bunch of hypocritical bastards.] Sheng Yue recalled her earlier encounter, her eyes filled with obvious hatred. [Then let's teach them a lesson first, otherwise, how can I trust you? How can I cooperate with you?]
The demon smirked. "Of course, I'll grant your wish right away."
However, you may need to pay a small price.
Sheng Yue waved her hand, "It doesn't matter. I want to see them suffer as soon as possible, then I'll step in to save them."
Don't worry.
The evil spirit burrowed into Sheng Yue's body and took a big bite out of her soul, causing Sheng Yue to tremble in pain.
Upon closer inspection, the edges of her soul were pitted and uneven, with almost a tenth missing.
