"Whether I'm worthy or not is my business, what does it have to do with you?" Shi Xinxin yelled, unable to stand it anymore, "In short, I will absolutely not break up with him!"
Shi Jiayu raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised that she dared to yell at him, "Tsk, I really raised a disobedient sister."
Shi Xinxin took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm her anger, "I'm hungry."
"Wait, the food will be ready soon."
Shi Xinxin looked at Shi Jiayu's busy back, and her nose suddenly felt sore.
Although Shi Jiayu's words were sharp, he always prepared a sumptuous breakfast for her to eat her fill.
For so many years, from childhood to adulthood, besides her father, her brother was the person who treated her the best.
He was harsh to her, but he had never spoken to her so directly as he had today.
Shi Xinxin bit her lip and slowly lowered her head.
She didn't blame her brother, because she knew he was doing it for her own good.
But... she liked Sheng Chenjin, and there was no doubt about it. Even though her brother had said it so cruelly, it couldn't change this fact!
Shi Xinxin wiped herself clean and changed into her pajamas, sitting in front of the dressing table to blow-dry her hair.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
The abrupt knocking startled her. Shi Xinxin, holding the hairdryer, shouted towards the door, "Who is it?"
"Xinxin. It's me."
It was Sheng Mengyi!
Shi Xinxin immediately dropped the hairdryer and rushed to the door to open it.
Sheng Mengyi held a breakfast tray and smiled, "I made chicken soup and cooked white porridge, and brought it over for you to try."
"Thank you." Shi Xinxin took the tray, "You didn't have to bother."
"Why be so polite with me?" Sheng Mengyi smiled and said, "Come on, try it and see how it tastes?"
Shi Xinxin scooped a spoonful and tried to feed it into her mouth.
It was smooth, rich, and appetizing.
"How is it?" Sheng Mengyi asked expectantly.
"It's very good." Shi Xinxin looked up, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Sheng Mengyi pursed her lips, looking at Shi Xinxin with a complex gaze.
Shi Xinxin noticed her gaze, lowered her head, and pretended to be nonchalant, continuing to eat.
"Where did you go yesterday? We searched the entire hotel, but we couldn't find you."
Shi Xinxin looked up, "Oh, I was a little tired yesterday, so I went home to rest. Sorry, I didn't tell you."
"So that's how it is." Sheng Mengyi's smile was strained, "If you're not feeling well, you should rest well."
"Yes, you should go eat breakfast too."
Sheng Mengyi nodded, picked up her chopsticks, and casually picked up a piece of chicken.
Then, she suddenly slammed her chopsticks on the table, the "bang" startling Shi Xinxin.
"What are you doing?" Shi Xinxin glared at her, "You eat your food."
Sheng Mengyi gritted her teeth, "The chicken I just ate is what you left behind!"
Shi Xinxin blinked in surprise, "I... I didn't mean to, it was an accident..."
"Shi Xinxin, what do you mean! Are you trying to disgust me on purpose!" Sheng Mengyi stood up agitatedly, raising her hand to slap her, "How dare you treat me like this!"
Shi Xinxin quickly dodged, and Sheng Mengyi's hand missed. She then kicked Shi Xinxin.
Shi Xinxin fell to the ground, her elbow skinning and bleeding.
"Waaah—" she cried, "Why are you treating me like this!"
"You're still crying?" Sheng Mengyi walked to her, grabbed her hair, and dragged her up, "Shi Xinxin, aren't you just relying on having a rich dad? If it weren't for him, you wouldn't even have the chance to study abroad!"
"Yes, yes..." Shi Xinxin was terrified, crying even harder, "You are a noble young lady, and I am just a girl from an ordinary family. But please don't bully me, okay?"
"Heh." Sheng Mengyi sneered, let go of Shi Xinxin, and sat back in her chair, "Shi Xinxin, remember this, if there's a next time, I won't let you off!"
Shi Xinxin flinched, tears streaming down her face, "There won't be a next time."
Sheng Mengyi snorted coldly, picked up her bag, and left.
After she left, Shi Xinxin sat on the floor, hugging her knees, burying her head in her lap.
She was not reconciled, not reconciled to losing to Sheng Mengyi like this...
No matter what method, she would not lose!
...
Banshan Villa.
When Shi Jiayu pushed open the bedroom door, he saw a bulging curve under the quilt on the bed.
He walked in, lifted the quilt, and indeed saw Sheng Chenjin lying on the bed, fast asleep.
Shi Jiayu stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly revealed a charming smile, walked to the window, and drew the curtains.
Then, he took off his shirt and went straight into the bathroom.
Warm water from the shower poured down, drenching the man's sturdy body.
He closed his eyes, feeling the hot water wash over him.
He had gotten drunk last night, and when he woke up, it was already noon.
After showering, Shi Jiayu came out wearing a black silk robe, with a black belt tied at the waist, exuding a sexy charm.
"Knock, knock, knock." A knock sounded, "Young Master, are you in the room?"
"Come in." Shi Jiayu sat on the sofa, his long legs crossed elegantly.
"Young Master." The servant walked in, handing him an iPad, "We just received an anonymous email."
Shi Jiayu glanced at it, and his expression changed drastically.
The content in the email was a recording, which was the words he had put into the car CD player last night...
"Sheng Chenjin, I love you, I will never forget you. You are the only love of my life, and I will strive to be a qualified wife."
"Sheng Chenjin, I love you..." xxs12
"Sheng Chenjin, will you marry me?"
"..."
"Young Master, who sent this email?"
"Sheng Mengyi." Shi Jiayu's expression was terrifyingly cold, "She blocked me at the police station."
The servant exclaimed, "Is she crazy?"
"Not only that, she bribed the police officers to secretly take photos and threaten me." Shi Jiayu narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint in their depths, "She wants to ruin my reputation and force me to break off the engagement!"
The servant frowned, "What should we do?"
"The fact that she could come up with such a despicable trick shows that she's at her wit's end." Shi Jiayu hooked his lips, "Since she wants to play, I'll play with her."
The servant worried, "If this matter is exposed, the Sheng family and the Sheng family will unite to deal with our Shi family."
"It's okay." Shi Jiayu said lightly, "As long as it doesn't involve my father, I'll handle everything else myself."
"But, Young Master, should we consult Mr. about this matter?"
Shi Jiayu paused, "Forget it, my dad is busy now. Besides, he doesn't need to worry about such a small matter."
"..." The servant hesitated, "But Young Master, this is, after all, a scandal of the Sheng family."
"It's alright, I'll resolve this matter." Shi Jiayu waved his hand, "You can leave now."
Shi Jiayu leaned back on the sofa, falling into silence.
Sheng Mengyi was truly persistent.
He had clearly rejected her pursuit, yet she still pestered him relentlessly, pushing closer and closer, as if she would never give up until she achieved her goal.
To force him into marriage, she was even willing to ruin his reputation.
He had to admit, this was a very vicious move.
