He Sui couldn't stand being pulled around, especially after learning that it was someone from the Cheng family. He became even more hostile and said indignantly, "If you don't call me, you're not welcome in my home. Please leave."
He Jing did not stop He Sui, but watched coldly. When Ye Shuping angrily scolded, "How did your mother raise you? You have no manners!" she immediately spoke up: "Showing off your power in someone else's home doesn't seem to have any aristocratic etiquette."
One sentence successfully shut Ye Shuping up.
Ye Shuping turned around angrily and looked at He Jing: "There's no need for aristocratic etiquette when dealing with boorish people like you! He Jing, you stole Xiaoyi's fiancé, and I want to ask Zhu Yurong if she has the face to see Xiaoyi."
He Jing chuckled and asked, "Yan Hanxi?"
"Still pretending to be stupid."
"What does the Yan family's decision to dissolve the engagement with the Cheng family have to do with the He family? If you're unhappy, you should go to the Yan family for an explanation. What are you doing here at the He family? Picking on the weak?"
Unfortunately, the He family is no pushover.
Ye Shuping angrily accused, "Back then, when you were in the Cheng family, it was understandable that you could enroll in Yin Gao and befriend Young Master Yan because you were the Cheng family's daughter. But now you are no longer a member of the Cheng family. This marriage contract belongs to Xiaoyi. He Jing, if you have any conscience, you should break up with Young Master Yan. Don't force me to call you shameless."
He Jing remained expressionless.
"Who are you calling shameless!" He Sui shouted. "Who cares! We wouldn't even want Yan Xiaogou if he were given to us!"
He Ning interrupted sharply: "Fourth brother, shut up."
He Chen smiled and said, "Madam Cheng, that's not how it works. The Cheng family has raised He Jing for many years, and our He family has raised Xiao Yi for just as many years. If we're talking about gratitude, both sides are equal. Young Master Yan and He Jing are in love, and Xiao Yi's interference will probably prevent them from being happy."
Ye Shuping laughed in anger, scoffing with disdain: "I think your He family just wants to curry favor with Young Master Yan to turn your life around, because you're eyeing the Yan family's status in City A. And you dare to talk about mutual affection? That's laughable. If it weren't for He Jing interfering, Young Master Yan would have already fallen for Xiaoyi."
She glared at He Chen with disgust, her eyes filled with loathing.
Of all the children in the He family, He Chen was the one she disliked the most. He was clearly just a child, yet he seemed to know a lot...
He Jing suddenly said vaguely, "Really?"
This caused everyone in the living room to look at her.
He Jing smiled, her radiant smile stunning her fair and beautiful face. She twirled a strand of hair between her fingers, saying casually, "No one knows better than Yan Hanxi who he likes. Perhaps Madam Cheng could ask him herself if he would have fallen for Cheng Yi if it weren't for me."
Ye Shuping said firmly, "Of course! Do you really think there are Cinderella-like miracles in this world? If you hadn't received a good upbringing in the Cheng family and cultivated an outstanding temperament, Young Master Yan wouldn't have even given you a second glance. And all that upbringing should have belonged to Xiaoyi!"
She raised her chin, looked down at He Jing with a pity in her eyes, and said, "It was the Cheng family that gave you knowledge and vision. Without these, you are nothing."
Still not satisfied after saying all this, Ye Shuping turned her anger back on He Chen, and said with a cold smile, "What you said is not wrong. The Cheng family raised her, and the He family raised her. They seem to be the same, but how much effort and money did our Cheng family spend to raise such an outstanding daughter? And your He family just gave her a meal and dares to say that they are even?"
"He Jing will always owe the Cheng family something. Our Cheng family may not want her, but if she dares to steal Xiao Yi's marriage, she's an ingrate!"
PS: I'll be adding an extra chapter tomorrow. The reason I've been writing slowly these past two days is because I've had writer's block. This is a transitional chapter. After that, the brothers will become big shots and become the group's darlings, and the romance between the female lead and Yan Xiaogou will begin.
