In the end, He Jing dismissed this absurd idea. She looked at the person sleeping soundly beside her and said, "Wake up, stop pretending to be asleep."
The textbook slipped down the boy's face, revealing slightly sleepy eyes, and he said lazily, "How did you know I was awake?"
He Jing said, "Your Adam's apple moved just now."
When Shen Qiuyu said the words "princess dress".
Yan Hanxi unconsciously sat up straight, staring intently at He Jing, and smiled, "I didn't expect you, a model student, to be so observant of me."
He Jing: "Really? Oh."
Yan Hanxi: "..."
We can't have fun anymore.
A complete conversation killer.
He Jing asked, "Anything else to say? If not, I'm leaving."
Yan Hanxi said helplessly, "No, I'll take you back."
He Jing was about to say "No need" when Yan Hanxi added, "Leave the school gate."
He Jing had no choice but to swallow her words.
...
He Ning called He Yuan to tell him about the falling out with the Zhu family, and He Yuan managed to squeeze out half a day to take leave and come back.
In the living room, the He brothers sat in a row on the sofa. Except for He Xiaoguo, who was at the very back and had no idea what was going on, blinking her big, grape-like eyes in confusion, everyone else looked solemn.
He Yuan moved a chair and sat down opposite them, asking, "What happened?"
His mature and handsome face bore the weariness of someone struggling to cope.
He Ning said in a nonchalant tone, "It's exactly as I said on the phone."
He Yuan didn't believe it, his tone cold and serious: "Tell the truth."
He Ning repeated what she had said on the phone: "My aunt insulted us in public, and I couldn't stand it, so I turned against her. We will never go to the Zhu family again."
After listening, He Yuan glanced at He Sui, who lowered his head. He then looked at He Zhou, whose face was dark. He then looked at He Yi and He Chen, who were both calm and silent.
He said, "The Zhu family and the He family cannot sever ties, otherwise Mom will be heartbroken. I will go to the Zhu family to negotiate this matter. You have been wronged, and I will try my best to get an explanation."
He Zhou immediately let out a cold laugh: "For so many years you have told us to endure, and we have endured, endured, endured for so long, but the Zhu family still doesn't treat us like human beings. Who cares about an explanation? Ask Second Brother if he needs one, ask Fourth Brother if he needs one. We don't need one. We just don't want to go to the Zhu family anymore. That was never our job. Now that we're not doing it, is that wrong?"
“That’s right.” He Yuan stared intently at him, his demeanor extremely rational. “Then aren’t you going to take care of Mom?”
He Zhou pursed his thin lips and fell silent.
He couldn't answer with a single "no".
Mother He was their Achilles' heel.
He Chen said gently, "Big brother, I'll go with you."
That day, he and He Yi were at home taking care of He Xiaoguo and didn't know what had happened. Although he didn't want to have any more contact with the Zhu family, there was nothing he could do; not everything in this world goes as planned.
He Sui stood up abruptly from the sofa. He couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "What are you going to do? Even if we go, the Zhu family won't reconcile with us. He Jing has already ruined the Zhu family. From now on, the Zhu family should be behaving like us."
He Yi's expression changed.
He Yuan was shocked: "What?"
He Sui had completely forgotten He Ning's repeated instructions that "this matter has nothing to do with He Jing," and said boastfully and proudly, "The Zhu family has no business at all now, and they're probably crying at home right now."
