Anyway, he didnât want to stay there.
Cheng Yi was so angry that she was almost in tears. No, to be precise, she really cried. Her tears wet her eyelashes.
They actuallyâ¦
They actuallyâ¦
He Ning and He Sui panicked and quickly comforted her. âXiao Yi, donât think too much. Youâre the most important to us. If He Jing gets lost, Mom and Dad will be angry with us.â
Cheng Yi cried, âYou guys go.â
The many years of affection she had with them actually lost out to He Jing, who had just become their sister.
She was so confident that they would unhesitatingly choose her over He Jing.
He Ning cupped her face in his hands. He Sui wiped her tears and apologized sincerely to her. He repeatedly assured her that He Jing was not as important as her before she eventually felt better.
After finally coaxing her, He Ning asked, âXiao Yi, did He Jing bully you at school?â
Cheng Yi stopped sobbing and looked up at He Ning with tears in her eyes. She pretended to be puzzled. âSecond brother, why are you asking?â
âYesterday, the Cheng family called and said that He Jing bullied you,â He Ning said calmly. âFourth brother even quarreled with He Jing. Did such a thing happen?â
Cheng Yi lowered her head and hemmed and hawed, looking embarrassed. After a long time, she said in a low voice, âNo, Sister He Jing takes good care of me at schoolâ¦â
He Sui instantly exploded. âDonât be afraid. Tell us honestly â did she bully you? Did she?â
Cheng Yi lowered her voice even more. âShe really didnâtâ¦â
He Sui turned around and left, looking like he was going to fight someone. He Ning called out to him, âFourth brother!â
He didnât manage to stop him.
In the blink of an eye, he had walked away, leaving the two of them alone. He Ning pursed his thin lips and said seriously, âIf He Jing bullies you, we will definitely educate her well. Donât take it to heart.â
Cheng Yi noticed that He Ning said âeducate herâ instead of âteach her a lessonâ. Her face stiffened slightly and she pretended to be disappointed. âSecond brother, I miss you all so much. Is it that you no longer treat me as your sister?â
âHow could that be?â He Ning asked.
âBecause you have Sister He Jing.â Cheng Yi clutched the hem of her dress and bit her lower lip, saying, âSister He Jing is so outstanding. I canât match up to her in anything. Our classmates like her, and so do the teachers. I only have the identity of a rich daughter, but in the eyes of others, Iâm just a joke.â
He Ning immediately interrupted her. âNo matter how outstanding she is, youâre the only one in my heart. Donât think too much. Iâll make her apologize to you.â
Cheng Yi didnât say anything. Her beautiful eyes glowed, revealing that she was deeply moved.
He Ningâs heart softened, so much so that it was a mess. He gently stroked her hair.
He Sui had just reached home when He Ning also arrived.
In the dark corridor, He Sui had just taken out his keys and looked at the person beside him in surprise. âSecond brother, why are you back so soon?
Whereâs Xiao Yi?â
He Ningâs attractive eyes were cold. âXiao Yi asked me to come back first, saying that she was afraid that He Jing would be unhappy.â
He Sui raged, âHe Jing, He Jing⦠He Jing is simply our familyâs jinx.â
As he spoke, he twisted the handle and kicked the door open. He strode in and then shouted, âHe Jing, get out here.â
As soon as he finished speaking, He Jingâs room door opened. The beautiful girl was like a princess in an oil painting, set in the door frame. She had just changed into furry slippers and was still holding a school bag in her hand.
However, her cute outfit did not match the expression on her face. Her pretty face was too blank. He Jing asked, âWhatâs the matter?â
He Ningâs tone was frosty. âHe Jing, no matter how you were in the Cheng family in the past, in the He family, you have to be responsible for your own actions if you do something wrong.â
âApologize to Xiao Yi..â
