Chapter 183: Not Living up to Expectations and Hating It
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was the happiest day of their lives. They had had enough of others evaluating them together, giving them the same gifts, mistaking them for each other… It was never He Yi or He Chen; it was always ‘them.’
They had so many male siblings, and more often than not, they were all lumped together. They only had a sense of themselves when they were alone. Ironically, the only way to stand out was to be together.
It was awful!
It seemed they were right. He Jing, this new sister of theirs, was special.
Compared to Cheng Yi, she was much better. Even He Yi had to admit that if it weren’t for knowing Cheng Yi for more than ten years, he would have liked He Jing as much as He Sui seemed to.
Unfortunately, he was as sentimental as He Zhou, so he struggled to warm up to this new sister.
He Chen looked at He Jing, his eyes shining slightly.
After the meal, everyone in the He family was satisfied. They sat at the table and enjoyed the afterglow of the delicious meal.
He Sui wiped his mouth with a tissue. From secretly eating to brazenly eating to being so confident, he could be said to be the fullest person in the room. “Let’s go back,” He Ning said. “We’ll call Xiao Yi when we’re home.”
They left Cheng Yi behind and followed He Jing to enjoy the feast in a luxurious restaurant. They felt bad about it.
He Jing took out her phone calmly and handed it over. “Why don’t we call her now? Maybe she’s already returned home safely. Let’s not jump to conclusions.”
The He brothers were stunned.
They thought that with He Jing and Cheng Yi’s poor relationship, she would never do such a thing…
Yan Hanxi smiled. “You can use my phone. We’re classmates, after all.”
The He brothers were deeply relieved. Yes, no matter what, they were still classmates. They saw each other almost daily, so it was only right for them to show concern for a fellow schoolmate.
Only He Ning, who was better attuned to He Jing’s personality, felt warmth in his heart. He knew that He Jing would never lend someone her phone just because they were classmates. He Jing only did so because she must have genuinely worried about Cheng Yi. He received the phone, sounding a little hoarse, “Thank you.”
He Ning immediately dialed the number he had memorized by heart.
However, Cheng Yi’s impatient voice came from the other end before He Ning could say anything. “Who is it? You’ve got the wrong number. Don’t call me again and disturb my sleep.”
Ра–
The cold, busy tone continued to echo.
Cheng Yi had hung up in a hurry.
He Ning held the phone in his hand, sighing in relief. The sudden flux of his emotions took him a while to calm down. “There’s nothing to worry about; Xiao Yi is fine. She’s already home sleeping,” he said, letting his words sink in for the others.
He Sui rolled his eyes. He felt that he had worried for nothing. “Of course, Xiao
Yi is fine! She is chauffeured in a luxury car and surrounded by bodyguards.
Why wouldn’t she be fine?”
“How can you say that? What if…?” He Zhou growled, furious.
He Zhou had not thought this would happen. He had thought Cheng Yi would seize the opportunity to act the part of a maiden in distress, winning back the hearts of her heartless brothers. That did not happen.
However, it was too late to say anything now.
He Yi saw that He Zhou was on the verge of exploding. He quickly stopped his sibling, saying, “No matter what, we should apologize to Xiao Yi the next time we see her. It’s our fault for losing her.”
He Sui had no way to refute him. He let out a low ‘ah’ and stopped talking.
He Zhou thought coldly, ‘If He Jing got lost, would they still be like this? They would probably be so anxious that they would rush out to find her.’
There was a huge difference..
