The two brothers were silent for a moment, then He Sui walked to He Jing's side and said to her, "Hold out your hand so I can see it?"
He Jing refused, mimicking Cheng Yi's previous coy demeanor by turning her head to the side.
He Sui pulled her hand over and said, "Take a look."
You wouldn't believe it until you see it; what you find is shocking. There's a large bruise on the inside of He Jing's arm, and it looks extremely serious.
He Jing stubbornly withdrew her hand and said, "Don't worry about me, go and take care of Cheng Yi. She just fell, and her bottom must hurt."
Without a second thought, He Sui said, "How much pain can it cause from a fall on her bottom? She's fallen all the time since she was little."
Cheng Yi opened her beautiful eyes wide in disbelief.
What kind of talk is that!
She looked at He Ning, thinking that He Ning was so smart that he would definitely see through He Jing's trick and speak up for her. But to her surprise, his handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he asked her, "Xiao Yi, did you really say those things to He Jing?"
"I don't!"
Cheng Yi was devastated; they actually believed He Jing's words instead of hers.
He Ning remained noncommittal, releasing her hand that was about to wipe away He Jing's tears, and instead handed the tissue to He Jing: "Don't cry, it looks awful."
He Jing took the tissue, wiped her tears, and sniffled, saying, "Second brother, you're so kind."
Immediately, He Ning's expression softened considerably. He said to He Sui, "Take her back and apply some ointment first. I have something to say to Xiao Yi."
He Sui glanced at Cheng Yi, originally wanting to tell her about how her best friend Zhang Man was a scoundrel, but then, remembering that He Jing was still injured, she quickly led He Jing away.
After He Sui and He Jing left, He Ning solemnly called out, "Xiao Yi, I have something to tell you."
Cheng Yi's heart skipped a beat.
He Ning rarely has such a serious moment...
Cheng Yi suppressed her panic and lowered her head to ask, "Second Brother, what do you want to say?"
He Ning looked at her, his gaze calm and indifferent: "No matter what He Jing did to you, she is still our blood-related younger sister. I hope you will not hold it against her for the sake of our eldest brother, the third brother, the fourth brother, the fifth brother, the sixth brother, Xiao Guo, and our parents. I know you are sad to leave the He family, but He Jing is too. Don't say those things again."
Cheng Yi was on the verge of tears: "Second brother, I really didn't say such a thing."
It was all He Jing who slandered her!
He Ning then asked, "The girl who posted the defamatory messages about He Jing on the forum is named Zhang Man. Isn't she your friend?"
Cheng Yi froze, her pretty face turning pale. She hurriedly grabbed He Ning's sleeve and said, "This has nothing to do with me. Did He Jing say something to you?"
He Ning: "No, she didn't say anything. I found out myself. You shouldn't associate with her anymore."
Cheng Yi couldn't even cry anymore; her heart was empty, like a tattered sack letting in the wind. She had lived with them for over a decade and had never experienced such doubt and hardship. She felt that their sibling bond was rapidly deteriorating, like a spider web on the verge of collapse.
All because of He Jing!
What's so great about He Jing?
She was clearly the noble heiress, she clearly lived with them longer, so why did everything change in such a short time...?
Cheng Yi's eyes were red: "Are you going to say that it would be best if I never came to see you again?!"
He Ning certainly didn't mean that. He didn't know why Cheng Yi would have such a thought. Just as he was about to explain, Cheng Yi stepped on his foot, covered her face, cried, and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
