Chapter 89: It Would Be a Shame Not to Perform on the Big Stage
Shen Xinzhu could only pin her hopes on Helian Yi; only he would truly care about her.
"Sister Xinzhi, how do you want me to investigate? Lu Xingzhi’s father has already passed away, and no matter what, she is my third brother’s fiancée, my future third sister-in-law." Helian Yi no longer wanted to do such things.
Originally, he didn’t have any deep hatred toward Lu Xingzhi; he simply thought Lu Xingzhi wasn’t worthy of his third brother. In reality, when it comes to matters of the heart, as long as his third brother likes her, that’s enough.
"Little Yi, are you unwilling to help me? Do you also look down on me?" Shen Xinzhu’s tears came easily, "I knew it, you all look down on me, but I’ve tried so hard. And Lu Xingzhi? She’s just lucky, that’s all."
"Sister Xinzhi, can’t you hear it yet? You’re professional; don’t you know what level Lu Xingzhi’s piano skills are at? She can rearrange the composition; does it matter that her father is Master Jin Cheng? Is that important? My third brother likes her, and that has nothing to do with whether her father is Master Jin Cheng."
Helian Yi wasn’t completely ignorant; he actually understood. From the beginning, he carried a subjective bias against Lu Xingzhi.
In reality, if anyone here is the most innocent, it’s her.
No matter how much of a jerk he might be, he didn’t want to keep bullying a girl over and over again.
"Little Yi, you..." Shen Xinzhu was startled; she relied on her life-saving favor to repeatedly ask Helian Yi for help.
But if Helian Yi was tired of her too, then what did she have left?
Tears of grievance fell down, "Little Yi, do you think I’m annoying? I don’t want that; I just... I don’t want to lose to Lu Xingzhi. I have nothing left to lose. Do you acknowledge her as your third sister-in-law too? Do you believe she deserves Huo Jincheng? Then what does all my effort over the years mean?"
