Jiang Lei never expected that Huo Jinxin had such a beautiful younger sister.
"Hello, Ningning," Jiang Lei said, deliberately softening his voice, trying to show his best side.
"We're not that close, don't call me that." Huo Jinning's tone was clearly displeased.
"I'm sorry, I..." Jiang Lei suddenly felt embarrassed and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
He had never encountered such a situation before. In the past, he had always been successful and had always been someone else's child.
However, Jiang Lei maintained a humble and polite demeanor, though he appeared slightly flustered.
But in reality, he had already begun to curse inwardly.
He thought to himself: So what if they come from a wealthy family? They're just lucky to be born into a good family, what's with all the arrogance! One day, I'll trample them all under my feet!
This further solidified his determination to win over Huo Jinxin and see how he would deal with those snobbish rich people.
“Sister…” Huo Jinxin gently reached out and tugged hard at Huo Jinning’s sleeve, while giving her a look that signaled her to control her emotions and be more polite.
Huo Jinxin pondered to herself, not understanding why Huo Jinning's attitude towards Jiang Lei could be described as extremely hostile.
It should be noted that Huo Jinning is not the kind of person who would embarrass others for no reason, so Huo Jinning firmly believes that there must be a reason for her doing so.
"Jiang Lei, I'm really sorry, my sister has always been outspoken, please don't mind her."
Jiang Lei still wore a warm, spring-like smile, and his tone remained as polite as ever: "It's alright, I was a bit presumptuous, please forgive me, Miss Huo."
His answer was impeccable, leaving no room for doubt.
It seems that no matter what situation he faces, he can maintain that composure and elegance.
[That scumbag is quite the actor.]
[Who would have thought he was such a despicable person?]
Upon hearing the word "scumbag," Huo Jinxin was so shocked that she forgot to hide the fact that she could hear Huo Jinning's thoughts and looked directly at Huo Jinning.
But no one noticed her unusual behavior.
[If he didn't know my sister was from the Huo family, would he still be so attentive, let alone run into me?]
[I'd guess it was most likely intentional.]
Only then did Huo Jinxin realize that the scumbag her sister was talking about was Jiang Lei, not Wei Zechen.
Her heart was filled with a complex mix of emotions, a mixture of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, but mostly joy.
"Sister, didn't you say you'd take me on a tour of your school? Shall we go now?" Huo Jinning's call pulled Huo Jinxin, who was lost in thought, back to reality.
So Huo Jinxin mechanically followed her sister, her mind still replaying Huo Jinning's words, and she had even forgotten the existence of Jiang Lei and Li Xiaolan.
"Sister, I don't think that Jiang Lei is a good person. He seems a bit pretentious and hypocritical."
As they walked away, Huo Jinning lowered her voice and said to Huo Jinxin.
"Whether he is a good person or not is none of our business. He and I are just ordinary classmates, and we don't need to care about his character."
However, Huo Jinxin's mind was still unable to break free from what she had just learned.
She thought to herself: I thought the scumbag Huo Jinning was talking about was Wei Zechen last time, but it seems I was wrong.
"Yes, you're right, but we still need to be careful. After all, people like that are ruthless and unscrupulous; they're capable of anything to achieve their goals," Huo Jinning reminded her seriously.
The reason she was so wary was because as soon as she saw Jiang Lei, she felt that he had ulterior motives and was too deceptive in appearance.
"Okay, don't worry, I understand, I'll handle it carefully!" Huo Jinxin replied cheerfully.
She knew in her heart that her sister was concerned about her.
"Also, it's best to keep a certain distance from your roommate."
“Okay, no problem! I’ll do whatever you say, little sister.” Huo Jinxin nodded obediently.
"So if you find a boyfriend in the future, will you listen to me too?" Huo Jinning suddenly teased playfully.
"Uh..." Huo Jinxin blushed and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
She lowered her head, her cheeks burning, and thought to herself: This question is really embarrassing!
[Does this mean she has someone she likes?]
What about the male lead, Wei Zechen?
Huo Jinxin's eyes lit up when she heard Huo Jinning say that the male lead was Wei Zechen.
It really was him! That's great.
[I remember he wouldn't appear for another four years.]
[I hope I won't lose my wife then!]
[That poor, unlucky guy.]
No, I have to ask.
"Sister, do you have someone you like?" Huo Jinning asked with wide, curious eyes, full of doubt.
Huo Jinxin blushed instantly when her sister asked her that question, and nodded shyly.
She pondered to herself, unable to understand why her sister would say that Wei Zechen would not appear until four years later.
They were students at the same school and had known each other for a long time.
Huo Jinxin was at a loss, not knowing what the problem was, and she couldn't ask her sister, which made her very anxious.
This sudden situation left Huo Jinning somewhat at a loss.
Judging from the current situation, the eldest brother has become wary of Qian Chengfeng, the second brother has also taken the initiative to keep his distance from Chu Yingying, and the third brother has successfully brought the villain to justice. In addition, with his own system and prior knowledge of how things would unfold, the Huo family should not encounter any changes in three years.
In this way, Huo Jinxin would not need to compromise herself just to protect the Huo family, and Wei Zechen would lose the opportunity to help her, making it difficult for the two to develop feelings for each other over time.
However, knowing that Huo Jinxin already had someone she liked put Huo Jinning in a dilemma. She was unsure whether she should intervene to stop this relationship.
After much deliberation, Huo Jinning ultimately decided to leave the choice to her older sister, since it was her sister's life to decide.
As long as the other person isn't that scumbag Jiang Lei, it's fine.
Once she made up her mind, she stopped asking about it.
Afterwards, she and Huo Jinxin strolled around the campus together.
Huo Jinxin's mood became exceptionally cheerful, and she radiated a bright and charming glow, all the previous gloom disappearing.
Of course, watching the drama unfold is Huo Jinning's favorite thing to do.
As the saying goes, "everyone has a different face," and Huo Jinning certainly got to know a lot of interesting gossip while at school.
Meanwhile, Huo Jinxin secretly listened to her sister's thoughts and joined in the gossip.
Both of them were having a great time.
Some of them were people Huo Jinxin knew well, but their true selves were quite different from the image they usually presented.
This made Huo Jinxin sigh, "You can't judge a book by its cover."
