He Yue was stunned and looked at the kneeling girl in front of her in surprise.
Looking up, he met Ituri's gaze. Ituri shook his head, clearly not knowing either.
He had only asked for the name before calling him over, so how could he know anything about the other person's family situation? He truly had no idea that such a thing would happen.
Yiduli walked back and was about to pull the girl away when the girl stepped forward and hugged Heyue's leg, her eyes red as she pleaded, "Girl, I know you're a good person, please help me, I'll do anything for you."
"How do you know I'm a good person?" He Yue blinked, seemingly asking innocently, but secretly found it amusing.
How does she look like a good person? She never admits to being a good person.
Even if the girl in front of me has great difficulties, what does it have to do with me?
She's not a saint, so why would she help everyone in trouble?
Moreover, this kind of drama is too cliché. You can find people like this everywhere, but I never thought I would encounter one myself.
“You seem like a good person. I’m willing to do anything as long as you’re willing to help. I’m not afraid of hardship.” The girl, who had been timid and weak just moments before, now had incredibly bright eyes and an extremely resolute tone.
He Yue suddenly felt a little dazed, as if she were seeing another scene through the girl in front of her.
The familiar gaze and words snapped a string in her heart.
She suppressed the trembling of her fingers and stared intently at the girl in front of her, trying to discern something, but she could not see any pretense or familiarity in her eyes.
She lowered her eyes with a slight sense of disappointment and gave a faint smile.
You're overthinking it. The girl in front of you isn't her at all; it's probably just a coincidence.
Heyue will always remember that summer afternoon when her little hand tugged at the beautiful girl's skirt, she looked up at her with bright eyes and a clear, resonant voice: "As long as you take me in, I'm willing to do anything, I can endure any hardship."
She herself was once like her, humbly crawling at someone else's feet. At that time, she could not have imagined that her life would undergo a dramatic change. From an orphan with nothing, she became that person's only sister, the most beloved sister, and from then on, she had an enviable life of plenty. Her original thought was just to stay with her and repay her.
Perhaps thinking of her past self, thinking of that person, He Yue was unusually moved and softly asked, "What do you want?"
Xiangyi's eyes lit up, knowing she had made the right bet, and she was overjoyed: "My mother is sick, and we have no money to treat her. My father is heavily in debt and said he would sell me to some boy." As she spoke, she couldn't help but sob again.
Yan Yue couldn't help but slam her hand on the table, stand up, and angrily rebuke, "How awful! How can there be such a despicable father in the world?"
Xiangyi was startled by her, stopped crying, and stared at her blankly.
Yan Yue met her gaze, blushed with embarrassment, sat down again, and tried to put on a gentle smile: "Did I scare you? Please continue."
Heyue was speechless for a moment, but she knew that Sixth Sister was always simple-minded and would naturally abhor such things.
Xiangyi said "Oh" and nodded. Thinking of her family's situation, she continued to cry, "I don't want to be sold to a child. My mother is sick and has no one to take care of her. My father only gambles, and my younger brother is too young. I really have no other choice. Girl, please have mercy on me and help me. As long as you keep me, I won't be sold to a child, and I'll have money to treat my mother's illness. I'll do whatever you ask."
Hearing this, Heyue was not surprised, but she didn't know if what she said was true or false, after all, the matter was too coincidental.
Better safe than sorry. He Yue looked up at Yi Duli and saw that he also looked hesitant. She was relieved. She figured that Yi Duli would find out the truth without her having to say anything.
Although Yiduli appears honest, he is not stupid.
He Yue nodded slightly to show that she understood, then looked up at her sixth sister and smiled faintly: "Sixth sister, shall we take her in?"
Yan Yue also felt sympathy for the girl and wanted to help her. After hearing He Yue's words, she didn't hesitate at all and nodded, saying, "Okay."
"Thank you, young lady, thank you, young lady." Xiangyi burst into laughter through her tears, overwhelmed with gratitude, and kowtowed repeatedly.
Heyue reached out to help her up, smiling as she said, "From now on, you'll stay with me. By the way, this name isn't good. I'll change it for you. How about Chunrui?"
She didn't want another person with a similar name to her sister around her.
"Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Miss." Xiangyi, no, Chunrui, smiled happily.
She looked much prettier when she smiled than usual, with a shallow dimple on her left cheek, barely visible.
She is quite attractive.
"Sixth Sister, let's go." Seeing that it was getting late and they had already lingered there for a while, Heyue suggested going back.
Yan Yue nodded repeatedly. She was already impatient to sit here, but Seventh Sister seemed very happy today, perhaps because she had an extra maid.
As long as Seventh Sister is happy.
The group left the restaurant and boarded the carriage that led them back. The carriage slowly drove away.
The Thirteenth Prince next door stared blankly into space. Only after the commotion subsided did he speak: "They came here just to see a few women? What is she trying to do? And who was that woman just now?"
He also sensed that the woman's words were inappropriate, but he didn't know what they meant.
As he asked a series of questions, the Thirteenth Prince noticed that his Fourth Brother's face was ashen, which startled him. The Fourth Brother slammed his teacup down on the table and gritted his teeth, spitting out four words: "What kind of behavior is this!"
Huh? The Thirteenth Prince opened his eyes wide, confused: "Fourth Brother, what's wrong?"
