Free Web NovelChapter 1155: Chapter 1155: Reminding Her How She Rose to Power
Helian Xi’s words sounded like she was praising the old lady, but in fact, she was reminding the old lady of things she herself wanted to forget.
Reminding her of how she rose to power.
Helian Xi never thought of herself as kind, nor would she bully people for no reason.
Unless that person provoked her.
Just like before, even though she liked Cheng Zhiyan, his sister provoked her, their family was taken down by Third Brother, and she didn’t say a word for them.
The old lady, upon hearing Helian Xi’s words, felt a jolt in her heart and threw a teacup at her.
Of course, Helian Xi didn’t let her hit her.
She wasn’t stupid. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
She dodged it easily.
But even though she dodged, the show must go on.
"Grandma, I know you don’t like me. But I respect you. What exactly did I say wrong for you to want to scar my face? If I hadn’t dodged quickly, this cup would have hit my face." Helian Xi said with a grievance, her head lowered, but she was laughing inside.
She really didn’t like playing the white lotus; it’s truly tiring.
She preferred being the little devil.
"Grandma..." Gu Jin Yan was a bit angry too.
He knew that Grandma wasn’t going to be around for much longer, and she felt upset.
But Xiao Xi didn’t provoke her.
"Brother Jin Yan, please don’t be angry with Grandma! Miss Helian, please don’t upset Grandma either. She’s not in good health and can’t handle it." Shen Jiao quickly patted the old lady lightly.
And poured her a cup of water.
"Since you’re Grandma’s god-granddaughter and call my husband Brother, then you should call me Saozi! Your name is Jiaojiao, do you have a boyfriend?" Helian Xi didn’t seem angry at all, but inside, she was very annoyed.
Even Third Brother doesn’t have this many women around him!
No, Third Brother doesn’t have such a messy family.
Except for Little Zhi Liao, he wouldn’t let other women get close.
"Not yet," Liu Jiao said, instinctively glancing at Gu Jin Yan as she spoke.
"If you don’t have one, you don’t have one. Why look at my husband? It makes me think you like him." Helian Xi said jokingly.
"No, no, Miss Helian..." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Before she could finish, Helian Xi said, "I already told you to call me Saozi, no need to be so formal, I’m joking with you! Since you don’t have a boyfriend, why not let me introduce one to you?"
"No need, I don’t want a boyfriend for now," Liu Jiao said shyly, "I still want to spend more time with Grandma!"
"Jiaojiao, go wash some fruit for Grandma!" the old lady didn’t want Liu Jiao to feel awkward, signaling for her to leave.
She had that intention, but she couldn’t say it directly in front of Helian Xi.
"Okay." Shen Jiao happened to want to leave too, she remembered the old lady mentioned wanting her to be with Gu Jin Yan.
At the time, she refused, after all, Gu Jin Yan was married with children.
What would that make her?
But after meeting Gu Jin Yan and seeing him every day, her heart fell for him.
Moreover, the Gu Family had a good background.
If she could marry in, she’d be set for life.
Helian Xi stopped commenting, sitting quietly to the side, Gu Jin Yan held her hand, seemingly to comfort her.
The old lady looked at the two of them, her face betraying her displeasure.
