As soon as the words left his mouth, He Jing laughed. It was unclear whether she was laughing out of anger or because she was amused. Her eyes curved into crescents, as charming as the crescent moon, yet tinged with sarcasm.
This was the first she knew of someone in the world who apologized. She could not help but be curious. “What if I say no?”
He Sui suddenly became like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He said sharply, “He Jing, don’t go too far!”
He Jing raised her eyebrows. “So what if I go too far? Chase me out of the He family and bring your precious Xiao Yi back if you can. Let’s see if Big brother and Mom and Dad agree.”
It would have been fine if she hadn’t mentioned Big brother. However, the moment she mentioned him, He Sui thought of He Yuan. He furiously stomped off to look for the landline to give He Yuan a call.
If He Yuan also agreed to chase He Jing away, then He Jing would definitely leave. They did not want to give her another look.
He Ning looked at He Jing. “Big brother dotes on Xiao Yi. He won’t be on your side.”
He Jing did not panic at all. She coolly curled her red lips up. “Even if Big brother doesn’t help me, there’s still Mom and Dad. I don’t believe that there’s no reasonable person in the He family.”
Whatever it was, she was not used to their habit of framing others.
The call went through very quickly. He Sui complained to He Yuan in front of He Jing. His tone was not exaggerated at all. He made He Jing out to be heinous and unforgivable, as if there was no one more abominable than He Jing in existence.
He Yuan listened patiently and asked, “Then what happened between He Jing and Xiao Yi?”
He Sui abruptly choked. He instantly realized that he did not seem to understand the situation, so he turned his head and shouted at He Jing, “Hey, tell us honestly how you bullied Xiao Yi in school.”
He Jing found it funny. “If I speak when you want me to, won’t I be losing face?”
He Sui was so enraged that his blood boiled. He immediately turned back and continued to gripe, “Brother, you heard it too. In short, if she stays in this family, I’ll go. If I stay, she goes.”
He Yuan then said, “Alright, I got it. I’ll get a clear picture of the situation. I’m doing a part-time job. I’ll hang up first.”
Then, with a beep, a busy tone was heard.
He Sui put down the phone, as if he could already see the day He Jing was sentenced to death. He turned back and said smugly, “He Jing, you’re finished.”
He Jing laughed. “I’ll be waiting.”
With that, she swung her hand and closed the door.
The living room returned to silence. He Sui was silent for a while before he cursed softly, “F*ck!” He Ning frowned as he looked at He Jing’s room door, his eyes dark.
The next day, He Sui got up to make breakfast. He deliberately did not make He Jing’s share. He wanted to teach He Jing a lesson and let her know what she should and should not do.
He Xiaoguo secretly used a spoon to swipe his portion, preparing to leave it for He Jing.
Although it was indeed annoying for the new sister to bully the previous sister, his mother had said that it’s not good to skip breakfast.
Unexpectedly, after He Jing washed up, she glanced at them and the breakfast in front of them and went downstairs expressionlessly.
Five minutes later, she returned and sat down before the three of them with a bowl of steaming ramen in her hand.
This was not a bowl of ordinary ramen. It was a luxurious version of ramen with He Xiaoguo’s favorite fried eggs, He Ning’s favorite coriander, and He Sui’s favorite braised beef.
The fragrance of meat, eggs, and coriander filled the entire living room. He Ning’s fingers, which were holding the spoon to scoop the porridge, paused. He Xiaoguo stared intently at the fried eggs in He Jing’s bowl and swallowed…
This was f*cking…
He Sui suddenly felt that the breakfast before him did not smell good anymore..
