He Jing smiled and crossed her arms over her chest. âWhat do you think I can do to her?â
He Sui clenched his fists in anger and gritted his teeth. âYouâre not allowed to bully Xiao Yi in school!â
He Jing clicked her tongue and pulled out a chair beside her. She sat down and said, âShe only cried for a while, and the Cheng family called to blame me. You guys also see me as an enemy. We were both switched at birth, but why is the difference so big?â
It was as if fate had mercilessly grabbed her throat.
She couldnât blame Cheng Yi for running home crying for not scoring better than her for the exams. When she cried, everyone coaxed her and sided with her. This feeling was explosive.
It was time for her, the vicious supporting actress, to sacrifice herself for pleasure again.
He Sui was already furious, and when he heard her nonchalant tone, he became even more enraged. He tossed his clothes aside and rushed forward, accusing her, âYou bullied Xiao Yi, and you still dare to make sarcastic remarks!â
He Jing looked at him with bright eyes. âWhy wouldnât I dare to? Isnât that the truth?â
He Sui slammed his fist on the table. He looked infuriated and on the verge of strangling her. âYouâre so vicious. Iâll never treat you as my sister!â
In an instant, He Jingâs face went blank. Her beautiful eyes were numb and indifferent, as if she had never had any feelings for him.
Suddenly, He Sui felt a little flustered.
After a second or two of silence, He Jing smiled again. It was sweet, but not as warm as before. âAlright, then I wonât treat you as my brother.â
He Suiâs heart stopped and he suddenly regretted what he had said. However, on second thought, He Jing had done something wrong. Why was she so confident? He was right to do this!
He Jing had already stood up and walked around him. She returned to her room and closed the door.
He Suiâs anger was inexplicably extinguished by more than half. He pointed at the door and said, âSecond brother, look at her attitude. It was she who bullied
Xiao Yi first.
He Ningâs eyes grew colder as he walked away without saying a word.
The next day, the atmosphere was clearly much colder when the three of them went to school together. In the morning, when everyone was together in the living room, He Jing only said âgood morningâ to He Xiaoguo. As they ate, she didnât say a word either.
He Suiâs expression was dark, as if someone owed him eight million. He Ning was still wearing his earphones, his eyes closed, and his entire body was emitting a cold aura that kept people away.
When the bus stopped and the three of them got off, He Sui loudly said, âHey,
Iâm warning you again. Youâre not allowed to bully Xiao Yi in school.â
He Jing turned a deaf ear and stepped into the school. As soon as she entered the classroom, she saw Cheng Yi talking and laughing with her new deskmate. There were also several girls surrounding her.
She seemed to have sensed something and looked at her with a meaningful smile.
He Jing only took a glance before she withdrew her cold gaze and returned to the first seat in the first row. After a while, a graceful figure appeared in front of her.
Cheng Yi stood in front of the desk and said in a condescending and caring tone, âHe Jing, are you okay? Iâm really sorry about yesterday. Dad and Mom were too concerned about me and wrongly accused you. Iâve already explained it to them.â
He Jing did not even lift her eyelids and said in a dull tone, âAre you done? If youâre done, I have to revise.â
Cheng Yiâs face stiffened, and then she couldnât hide the joy in her eyes. She pretended to be worried and asked, âMy brothers didnât make things difficult for you, right? Especially Fourth brother. He has an explosive temper and always speaks harshly, but he doesnât have any bad intentions. Donât take it to heart.â
He Jing finally looked up at her and clearly stated, âPlease correct your words. Those are my brothers, not yours. If thereâs a conflict, weâll resolve it behind closed doors. It has nothing to do with you..â
