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. âWhat if I say no?â
He Sui suddenly became like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He said sharply, âHe Jing, donât go too far!â
He Jing raised her eyebrows. âSo what if I go too far? Chase me out of the He family and bring your precious Xiao Yi back if you can. Letâs see if Big brother and Mom and Dad agree.â
It would have been fine if she hadnât 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. âBig brother dotes on Xiao Yi. He wonât be on your side.â
He Jing did not panic at all. She coolly curled her red lips up. âEven if Big brother doesnât help me, thereâs still Mom and Dad. I donât believe that thereâs no reasonable person in the He family.â
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, âThen what happened between He Jing and Xiao Yi?â
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, âHey, tell us honestly how you bullied Xiao Yi in school.â
He Jing found it funny. âIf I speak when you want me to, wonât I be losing face?â
He Sui was so enraged that his blood boiled. He immediately turned back and continued to gripe, âBrother, you heard it too. In short, if she stays in this family, Iâll go. If I stay, she goes.â
He Yuan then said, âAlright, I got it. Iâll get a clear picture of the situation. Iâm doing a part-time job. Iâll hang up first.â
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, âHe Jing, youâre finished.â
He Jing laughed. âIâll be waiting.â
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, âF*ck!â He Ning frowned as he looked at He Jingâs room door, his eyes dark.
The next day, He Sui got up to make breakfast. He deliberately did not make He Jingâs 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 itâs 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 Xiaoguoâs favorite fried eggs, He Ningâs favorite coriander, and He Suiâs favorite braised beef.
The fragrance of meat, eggs, and coriander filled the entire living room. He Ningâs fingers, which were holding the spoon to scoop the porridge, paused. He Xiaoguo stared intently at the fried eggs in He Jingâs bowl and swallowedâ¦
This was f*ckingâ¦
He Sui suddenly felt that the breakfast before him did not smell good anymore..
