‘And…
‘Grandfather…
‘What brings him to General Manor?’
“Feng Lianqing, did you hear that?” Feng Ruqing smiled. “She said you were a fool because you didn’t recognize me in the first place, but instead, Yue’er was so smart that she had outsmarted everyone. If this girl was so smart, she wouldn’t have been used by others. ”
Without waiting for Feng Lianqing to respond, Helian Yue looked at Feng Ruqing sadly. “What does Xiao Qing mean? Am I not smart enough?”
“What do you think?” Feng Ruqing smiled, but for a moment, it made Helian Yue’s heart sink.
‘I’m smart, and I’ll get smarter from now on!
‘That’s the only way Xiao Qing will not kick me out!’
Helian Ying’s face turned pale, her voice trembled as she spoke, “Master Lianqing, I didn’t mean that. I didn’t…”
“Enough!”
Old Master Helian snapped and pointed at Helian Ying angrily. “You’re very well behaved in front of me… I never thought that you’re so jealous of Yue’er. If I hadn’t heard all this, I wouldn’t even have known how you’re making up stories about your sister out there!”
Helian Ying panicked and took a step forward, but a red fox stopped her.
This red fox stared at her with eerie eyes, frightening her into taking a few steps back; her face grew paler.
“Grandfather, I didn’t! You have to trust me. I didn’t mean any harm to my sister…”
“Helian Ying, do you think I’m stupid? What did you just say? What do you mean Helian Yue is pestering Master Lianqing, and that he hates her? You’re saying this as if my Yue’er is not welcomed!”
Helian Ying was dumbfounded. She bit her lips hard, tears flowing down her face.
‘How could Grandfather forget that I’m also his granddaughter…
‘Why does he have only Helian Yue in his heart?’
“You accuse Yue’er saying she already knew Young Lady Feng’s identity and deliberately tried to get close to her? I know Yue’er more than anyone else. She would never have such a thought and would never hurt someone who cares about her!”
Old Master Helian’s eyes were full of anger as he snapped at her in a stern voice.
His words stabbed deep into Helian Ying’s heart. She closed her eyes slowly.
‘Helian Yue has never had such a thought?
‘Why is only Helian Yue important to Grandfather?’
“Helian Ying…” Feng Lianqing’s face was expressionless and cold. “I rejected Yue’er not because I hate her. I just want to focus on my cultivation. I didn’t want to be disturbed by love, and I didn’t want to give her hope. That was why I did that to her, but as for you… I simply don’t like you!”
Initially, he could not say whether he liked or disliked Helian Ying. When he met her, he would not act like a stranger, but neither would he talk to her like a good friend.
However, after she said those words in front of him at Feng Lianyi’s banquet, he started to hate her…
If he had known that Helian Ying was this kind of person, he would never treat her as a friend and would have stayed away from her long ago.
Helian Ying’s heart raced faster, and what made her feel sadder than Old Master Helian’s words was Feng Lianqing’s last sentence…
‘I simply don’t like you!’
