Zheng Yu was already indifferent, and faced with such large, falling tears, he was even more at a loss. He could only stand there silently, staring at He Yi.
There was no hope in relying on this blockhead. After crying for a while, He Yi realized that Zheng Yu was unreliable, so she could only slowly and tentatively reach towards him. Then she grabbed his waist and pressed herself against him, trembling all over.
"Brother, I'll do whatever you say, please don't kill me."
"I've finally made it home. I don't want to die. I want to be with you and Daddy."
"If my brother is angry with me, I'll apologize to my sister tomorrow, okay?"
Without any hesitation, He Yi wiped all her tears and snot on Zheng Yu's body.
I almost softened when I saw it.
Yeah, even though I know the female supporting character isn't a good person, what can I do? I still feel so sorry for her right now!
[The author keeps using this to test the cadres; can the male protagonist handle it?]
Clearly, Zheng Yu couldn't hold on any longer.
He already felt guilty, and seeing He Yi like this, he was completely moved by her tears.
"Don't be afraid, your brother will protect you."
Zheng Yu took a towel from the side and gently wiped away all the tears on He Yi's face. Her tone of voice finally softened.
"Brother, I'm scared."
"You'll stay here and sleep with me, okay?"
He Yi grabbed Zheng Yu's hand, clearly pushing her luck.
Normally, Zheng Yu would have pulled her hand away and scolded her for being insensible.
But when he met those watery eyes today, he could only sigh helplessly and nod: "Okay, go to sleep."
As expected, the female supporting character rules the world!
[The male lead has fallen for the female supporting character; what is the female lead going to do?]
The female lead naturally has her merits; once the male lead sees her, he will definitely see the error of his ways.
The mudslide is coming, and the female supporting character's mask is about to fall off.
The comments section was buzzing with noise, but He Yi didn't care. She just lay on the bed, clutching the corner of Zheng Yu's clothes, and fell into a deep sleep.
She was certain that Zheng Yu wasn't there to kill anyone, so there was nothing to be afraid of, and this was also a good opportunity to strengthen their relationship.
He Yi is now determined to preserve her wealth and status at all costs, so she naturally needs to develop in multiple areas.
The next day, early morning.
Lin came over to offer comfort to He Yi and inquire about her situation, but she never expected to see her beloved son sitting by her bedside as soon as she entered, while He Yi was fast asleep on the bed.
What... what's going on?
Lin was completely stunned. She strode forward and frowned at Zheng Yu: "What are you doing?"
Zheng Yu immediately made a shushing gesture, but it was too late; He Yi had already woken up.
She subconsciously tugged at Zheng Yu's sleeve and murmured, "Brother."
It was this sweet, coquettish "brother" that completely enraged Lin.
She almost instinctively dropped what she was holding, then stepped forward, grabbed He Yi's sleeve, and dragged her down.
"You shameless little whore, you even prey on your own brother! I'll beat you to death, you shameless bastard!"
"You dared to seduce my son!"
Zheng Yu was Lin's last hope. If she really went down the wrong path because of such a lowly woman, then she would have no hope for the rest of her life. Her rationality was almost completely extinguished in that instant.
"Mother!"
Zheng Yu quickly stepped forward, stopping Lin's actions, and then protected He Yi on the ground.
He Yi scrambled to her feet and curled up in the corner, hugging herself and trembling, seemingly unable to understand why the Lin family would treat her this way.
The supporting actress's acting was so good; even seeing it with our own eyes, I still felt she was so innocent.
Was Lin blinded by rage?
[Let's fight! Let's tear this apart! Don't let this vicious female supporting character get away with it!]
Mrs. Lin looked at her son, who was blocking her way, in disbelief.
"You actually stopped me?"
"Are you... asleep?"
Lin's eyes were bloodshot as she stared intently at her son.
Zheng Yu's eyebrows were tightly furrowed!
"Mother, be careful what you say!"
"We're just siblings!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Lin finally calmed down. She knew her son well enough to know that he wouldn't do something so outrageous.
"I know that Madam has never liked me very much, but a young lady's reputation is so important. How could you say that, Madam?"
"I was terrified yesterday. My brother just came to keep me company. There were no dirty things like you described."
He Yi huddled in the corner, crying as she tried to defend herself.
She stood up and walked up to Madam Lin: "If Madam really can't tolerate me, I'll go and talk to Father. I'll go back to the countryside!"
After saying that, she actually started to walk out.
Of course, Madam Lin knew how much Minister Zheng valued this daughter, so how could she possibly let her file a complaint?
Madam Lin grabbed He Yi's hand: "Of course that's not what I meant. I'm doing this for your own good. Although you're not related by blood, you are still siblings. It's not good for you to be too close, don't you think?"
"Yes, it's all He Yi's fault."
He Yi didn't argue, but just lowered her head in a wronged manner and complied with Lin's statement.
Originally, Lin thought that He Yi was a smooth talker and would definitely argue with her, which would leave a bad impression on Zheng Yu. However, she never expected that He Yi would become so obedient, which made Lin seem even more aggressive.
"What brings Mother here so early in the morning?"
Zheng Yu stepped forward and changed the subject.
He couldn't understand what was wrong with his mother and sister lately, and why they kept making mistakes.
Madam Lin then realized what was happening and placed the things she had brought on the table: "I came to see Miss. I know you were injured yesterday, so I brought you some tonics. By the way, would Miss like to come along today?"
"Of course I'm going. I've made an appointment with the county princess to shoot rabbits today."
He Yi immediately complied, smiling slightly at Lin Shi. Anyone who didn't know better would think the two had a very good relationship.
The supporting actress's acting was superb.
[Ms. Lin is really getting old; she's no match for the female supporting character.]
The reason the female supporting character succeeded was because the male lead was biased towards her.
[Male lead, tell me, how could you possibly do this to the female lead?]
Lin's smile was a little stiff. She looked straight at He Yi and said, "If you are not feeling well, it is fine if you don't go. The county princess will not blame you."
