He Sui didn't think it was a big deal. All the children in the He family were independent and could find their way home even if they got lost. Besides, she had luxury cars and bodyguards to pick her up and drop her off!
Yan Hanxi swept away the messy situation and said casually, "I didn't expect that Cheng Yi is so old and still needs her parents to take care of her. He Jing has always taken care of herself before."
Upon hearing this, everyone at the table was stunned.
How could this be...?
She used to be a pampered young lady in the Cheng family, surrounded by drivers and nannies.
He Jing was speechless, because she suddenly remembered that in the original novel, the fake heiress seemed to spend most of her time alone in order to pursue Yan Hanxi. She thought Yan Hanxi didn't care about these things, but she didn't expect him to know so much.
“Xiaoyi is also very independent and we don’t usually have to worry about her.” He Zhou didn’t want to ruin Chengyi’s image in Yan Hanxi’s eyes, so he coldly changed the subject, “Let’s eat.”
That's what they say, but the He brothers all know that Cheng Yi is quite pampered in life. Apart from washing her own underwear, they basically do all the other chores for her. When she was in junior high school, she needed someone to pick her up and drop her off at school.
Of course, they wouldn't say these things aloud, so the conversation ended there, and no one brought it up again.
However, something else stirred within them: a feeling of pity for He Jing.
They originally thought that someone like He Jing would never need anyone to protect her, but now they realized that her strength was forged in solitude. Although she was wealthy, she was extremely lonely.
The meal was eaten in a lackluster manner; after Yan Hanxi said those words, no one had any appetite left.
The atmosphere eased a little when Yan Hanxi specially asked the chef to come up and explain the cooking steps. He Sui secretly ate two meatballs when no one was looking.
He Jing noticed immediately that the atmosphere between He Yi and He Chen was not good, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother?"
He Yi didn't even bother to look at He Chen, and said, "It's nothing."
He Chen answered truthfully: "There was a disagreement in the secret room, but it's nothing, it will be fine in a while."
They are always at odds and can't tolerate each other even a little bit more.
He Jing found it somewhat amusing and couldn't help but tease, "Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother may look alike, but they're completely different people."
He Yi immediately looked up at He Jing. He Chen's heart was like a stone thrown into the water, creating ripples, but he still pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Why do you think that, He Jing?"
"Fifth Brother is more composed. If I had to describe him with a word, he'd probably be like a stone. Sixth Brother, in terms of both his speech and demeanor, is more like the wind, gentler. It's hard for the wind and the stone to resonate with each other, isn't it?" He Jing paused for a moment, then added, "Anyway, that's what I think. Just my personal opinion. Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother, don't take it to heart."
After listening, He Yi and He Chen fell silent, then exchanged a glance.
For some inexplicable reason, He Yi's anger, which had been building up for so long, subsided. He uttered an affirmative syllable, "Hmm."
He Chen touched his face: "Is it that obvious?"
If it's so obvious, why has she been the only one to notice it for so long?
He Jing nodded: "It's quite obvious. If it weren't for the similar appearance, it would be hard to connect the two of you. Even if you are similar, it would be hard to treat you as the same person."
He Yi said calmly, "We were never the same person to begin with."
He Chen smiled: "That's true."
No wonder she prepared different gifts for them; it turns out she really didn't treat them as the same person.
