"What ’inspirational goddess’? That’s clearly the result of the Helian Family throwing money at her achievents."
Helian Xi has always been a sensible person, which is why her parents are more forgiving and doting towards her.
"Helian Xi, what kind of benefit has Lu Xingzhi given you for you to speak so highly of her?" Helian Yi was practically suspicious that Lu Xingzhi had drugged her.
"Is any benefit needed? Do you think Third Brother is a fool? Wouldn’t the person Third Brother likes be exceptional? Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law are a legitimate engaged couple, with tokens and a marriage contract. If she forcefully took Shen Xinzhu’s marriage contract, and you were to teach her a lesson, I wouldn’t say anything."
Helian Xi really wondered if Shen Xinzhu had cast a spell on Helian Yi, how could he be so obedient?
But it was just a life-saving grace, which their family had repaid long ago over the years!
"Little Yi, your sister isn’t wrong. No matter how much you care about Xinzi, you shouldn’t vent your anger on Lu Xingzhi. Moreover, what did you do today? You slapped her and ended with a ’serves her right’, without even an apology. You’ve really disappointed , I don’t have such a son who can’t distinguish right from wrong and lacks responsibility."
Wen Ruya could hardly believe it when her daughter ntioned these things today; how could her son have turned out like this?
As parents, they hadn’t demanded he inherit the family business; they hadn’t hindered his pursuit of his dreams. But bullying innocent girls truly broke their hearts.
"Mom, I... I truly didn’t do it on purpose... She was the one who ca over."
"That’s enough! No matter what mindset you had for hitting her, you must apologize tomorrow, and repay tenfold," Helian Cheng declared directly.
Helian Yi couldn’t believe it and said, "What? Why should I? I definitely won’t go apologize to that country bumpkin!"
"This is what Jin Chen said. This is just a warning. If you dare to cause any more trouble for Lu Xingzhi, prepare for the Helian Family to sever ties with you first!" Helian Cheng rarely spoke so harshly.
"Dad, does Third Brother really want to humiliate , his cousin, for a woman?" Helian Yi felt his worldview was about to be overturned today.
"The won of the Huo Family are not yours to bully. Moreover, she’s not an ordinary woman; she’s the one your Third Brother treasures most." Helian Cheng really wanted to pry open his head and see why he felt he was so important.
Helian Yi didn’t understand why things had gotten so serious and mumbled quietly, "What a troublemaker, a vixen, in such a short ti she’s completely enchanted Third Brother."
Helian Cheng, in anger, forcefully threw a cup from the table at Helian Yi.
"Helian Yi, if you keep talking like this, I’ll have to sever ties with you ahead of ti. Before that, I’ll make sure to destroy Shen Xinzhu. Otherwise, the Helian Family’s century-old business will eventually be ruined by the two of you. Consider yourself lucky that you’re cousins; otherwise, do you think things would be so simple?"
"I’ll go, alright?" Helian Yi felt utterly aggrieved, wondering why no one in the family was on his side.

The next morning, as Lu Xingzhi ca downstairs, she saw Huo Jincheng sitting in the hall reading a newspaper.
The golden sunlight cast a glow on him, giving him an aura of radiance, making him look like a Heavenly God descended to the mortal world for training.
