Xinghe was eating breakfast. These past few days, Sheng Xiuwen and Ye Ning had been busy with company matters.
The cooperation we agreed on last time needs to be reviewed and approved by them.
I haven't had time to eat breakfast with Xinghe these past few days. They've already left when Xinghe wakes up, and they haven't come home when Xinghe falls asleep.
This benefited the second and fourth sons of the Sheng family.
These past two days, I've been hogging the space around Xinghe every day, vying to have breakfast with her.
The second brother, Sheng, would keep putting food on Xinghe's plate, while the fourth brother, Sheng, was the type who would make conversation even when there was nothing to say.
Forcing a conversation when there's nothing to say.
Xinghe was a little annoyed by them, but the two of them hadn't done anything else, so she couldn't find a reason to lash out.
The third and fifth brothers of the Sheng family sat at the other end, remaining very silent.
Sheng Yue sat with them, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Sheng Yue smiled broadly, "Third Brother, I remember you like steak. The steak this morning was pretty good, have a taste."
"Fifth Brother, you too."
Sheng Laosan remained silent.
Sheng Laowu took a bite of the bread in his hand. "The eldest brother likes to eat steak, but the third brother doesn't like any beef."
Sheng Yue's eyes showed a hint of panic. "Did I...did I misremember? Then I'll have Wang Ma make a new breakfast."
Sheng Laosan: "It's nothing."
He drank the porridge in his hand.
Sheng Yue seemed about to cry, "Third Brother..."
She stared at Sheng Laosan with teary eyes.
These people are so annoying! They're so particular about food, not eating this or that. They would never have done this before.
Sheng Yue was seething with anger, but she still had to appease the two of them. Those two ingrates, Sheng Lao Er and Sheng Lao Si, sided with Xing He.
She tried several times but couldn't change their minds.
Those two are such ingrates! It's all because the useless thing in the jade pendant was too incompetent and didn't kill them.
Sheng Laosan said, "Yueyue, it's okay. You eat your food and don't worry about me."
He paused for a moment, then said, "The variety show I told you about before is going to start filming in the next couple of days. Since it's a live broadcast, you might need to take a few days off."
Sheng Yue's eyes lit up slightly, and she deliberately raised her voice, "Is it that wildly popular show, 'Our Family'? That's great, Third Brother! Don't worry, I'll definitely do my best and won't let you down."
After such a long time, something has finally happened that makes her feel better.
She has quite a few fans online, and she'll gain even more fans after appearing on this show.
Even if her identity is exposed, she can play the victim, and those sycophants will naturally target Xinghe relentlessly.
Sheng Yue was in a much better mood, and she couldn't hide it as she glanced at Xinghe several times.
He was smug and excited, with a hint of scheming in his eyes.
"Are your eyes twitching? What are you looking at me for?"
Xinghe glanced at Shengyue a few times, his expression somewhat meaningful. "I'm in a good mood today, so I'll do a divination for you. You're about to be ruined."
The connection between Xinghe and Shengyue is quite deep. Originally, she couldn't have calculated anything related to Shengyue, but Shengyue's appearance changed quite drastically.
The bridge of his nose was low and shrouded in a dark cloud, and a small pimple had appeared at the end of his eyebrow.
Sheng Yue's mood, which had just improved somewhat, instantly turned sour again. "Xinghe, I know you don't like me, but this variety show is related to Third Brother's career. You've gone too far."
"No matter what, Third Brother is still your brother."
Xinghe reached out, "Stop, can you stop trying to scam me? I feel like throwing up my breakfast."
To show her dislike, Xinghe moved the plate in another direction.
"Third Brother~" Sheng Yue's voice sounded a little aggrieved.
Sheng Laosan said, "Yueyue, eat quickly, or we'll be late."
The third son of the Sheng family did not follow Sheng Yue's script, and the anger in her chest gathered even more intensely.
"I'm full, I'm going to school now."
Sheng Yue dropped her cutlery and ran out.
As she approached the door, she deliberately slowed her pace, glancing at the others out of the corner of her eye.
In the past, they would have come to coax her long ago, but this time, Sheng Lao Er and Sheng Lao Si didn't even look at her.
The third and fifth brothers of the Sheng family stared at her for a few moments, hesitated, and then did nothing.
This time, Sheng Yue was even angrier and ran away completely.
[Trash! Useless! You can't do anything right! Xinghe still came back alive! What use are you to me?]
Why don't they just die? The Sheng family is a bunch of hypocritical ingrates! If I hadn't saved them, they wouldn't be in this situation today!
[Damn it, they all deserve to die! Xinghe and Ye Ning, those two bastards, deserve to die the most! And everyone else too!]
The demon inside the jade pendant had a face full of mockery.
A lie repeated a hundred times will eventually be believed by the person involved.
His voice was almost coaxing, "Give me another chance. Xinghe is indeed strange; we underestimated her."
【You always say the same thing! You haven't done anything right so far, what am I supposed to do with you?】
Sheng Yue's expression twisted as she held the jade pendant, her eyes shifting between light and shadow.
I can't touch anyone connected to her, but I can help you become the most powerful master of mystical arts and crush her under your feet.
The demon's voice rose at the end, full of seduction.
He painted an incredibly beautiful world for Sheng Yue, and Sheng Yue began to yearn for it. "I'll trust you one more time. If you still can't do it, I'll smash you right now. This time, I mean it."

Boss Sheng, who rarely gets up late, had just come downstairs when he saw several people in the restaurant.
"Young Master, get up. I'll go to the kitchen to get your breakfast right away."
Boss Sheng recalled what Xinghe had said last night.
He pursed his lips. "No need, I'm in a hurry to get to the company, I won't eat."
"You don't need to prepare dinner for me either."
As he passed Xinghe, he paused slightly, said nothing, and then continued on his way.
Sheng Laowu nudged Sheng Laosan, "Third Brother, what's wrong with Big Brother? He doesn't seem to be in a good mood."
Sheng Laosan: "Eat your food properly."
Today, Sheng Lao Er has to take his students out to collect samples, so he can't send Xinghe. This task has fallen to Sheng Lao Si.
Xinghe, "I—"
Sheng Lao Si's eyes lit up. "Don't worry, I will definitely complete the mission well and get my sister to school safely."
Xinghe, "I—"
"Come on, little sister, we'll be late if we don't leave now. What kind of car do you like? A sedan, a sports car, or an SUV?"
Xinghe: "Never mind, whatever."
After thinking for a while, Sheng Lao Si picked out the pink supercar that Ye Ning had given to Xing He from the underground parking garage.
It's a custom-made model; there's only one like it in the entire city of Beijing.
He stopped at the door, thinking himself quite dashing, and said, "Little sister, get in the car."
It was finally his turn. Today, he wanted everyone to see that he was the one who took Xinghe to school.
If it weren't so difficult to do, he would have loved to take a picture and post it on his WeChat Moments so that the people at the research institute could see it.
Even now, the people at the research institute still don't believe he is Xinghe's biological brother.
The research institute has circulated more than a dozen versions of how he offended Xinghe, and they have become increasingly outrageous.
