Li Xing also stepped forward and stood in front of Zhou Xue. He frowned. “Xiao Wen, stop fooling around. If you don’t want to clean up, I’ll clean up for you.”
It was fine if he didn’t say this, but once he did, Han Wen became even angrier.
He mocked sarcastically, “You’re not even so proactive in front of my sister.”
At this moment, Zhou Xue walked out from behind Li Xing and said gently,
“Don’t quarrel over me anymore. Teacher Li Xing, I’m sorry. You have a family.
Don’t be misunderstood because of me. I’m fine.”
Zhou Xue’s appearance made the audience forget the rules of the game for a moment. They only felt that Zhou Xue looked so pitiful. Han Wen was really too much.
Zhou Xue walked up to Han Wen. Seeing that Yue Xin was almost done eating, she asked casually, “Does Xinxin need to me collect your bowl too?”
Yue Xin, who was focused on cooking, was speechless. Why was she always clinging to her? Zhou Xue had already asked this question, so it was wrong whether she gave it or not. However, this time, before Yue Xin could protest with silence, Yue Lingfeng said, “No need. Madam Zhou Xue, just do your own thing.”
This was one of Yue Lingfeng’s few polite words. But even so, Zhou Xue still looked like she had suffered a huge grievance as tears instantly flowed out.
She took a step back and sobbed. “I’m sorry. I was too abrupt. I understand that other than Teacher Li Xing, no one likes me and thinks that I’m very bad. However, I was too worried about Little Lei that day, so I didn’t understand the situation. I really want to get along well with Xinxin and everyone else..
Zhou Xue was sobbing uncontrollably as she spoke. The atmosphere in the room became a little strange as she cried.
Zhou Rong looked at the emotional Zhou Xue and was shocked. This was the first time she had seen her sister cry. Did she do something overboard?
Because she did not follow her sister obediently today, her sister was unhappy. She was so disobedient and even made her sister cry. When she returned home, her parents would definitely scold her. What should she do? She was so afraid…
Yue Lingfeng, on the other hand, frowned. He had not had many scandals in the entertainment industry for so many years. It was not only because he was clean and had powerful public relations methods. He seemed to be very casual with his words, but he knew what he could and could not say in his heart. He would never diss those who were respectful or had good morals. He would only diss the people and things he was dissatisfied with. As for those women who approached him with ill intentions, they would be scolded away by him mercilessly.
In the beginning, he turned a blind eye to Zhou Xue’s actions because he sensed that Zhou Xue’s target was not him but Yue Xin. At that time, his impression of Yue Xin was one of a troublesome burden. He would not care if he could. But now, his thoughts had changed. It was quite interesting to have a sister who spoke less, so…
“Madam Zhou, please don’t judge others based on your own imagination. We’re just doing what we should do. Please don’t do anything unnecessary.”
Zhou Xue had known what she wanted since she was young. When she was in kindergarten, during Children’s Day, the teacher had prepared gifts for every child, but the types of gifts were different. All the children rushed over to fight for their favorite gifts. Only she stood at the side so she would not dirty her dress. She waited for most people to finish choosing gifts before walking over to take one. After all, there was nothing she liked.
Unexpectedly, the teacher saw her actions and actually praised her. She said that she knew how to be humble and did not care about gains and losses. She was much better than those children who only cared about their own happiness. From then on, Zhou Xue understood how to make others like her. As long as someone was acting as a control, it was fine.
After having a younger sister at home, her parents had once placed all their time and energy on Zhou Rong. However, after Zhou Xue kept teaching Zhou Rong how to be naughty, mischievous, and even rude, her parents’ affection for her returned, and it was even more than before.
When Zhou Rong grew up, Zhou Xue would often say that she was stupid and that she could not do anything well. As time passed, Zhou Rong became less and less confident. She often lowered her head and spoke submissively. Her presence at home became weaker and weaker.
Everyone was biased. With Zhou Rong serving as a control, Zhou Xue became the best child in the family. Zhou Xue had always believed in this principle. She participated in the show because this was another way to highlight the contrast between the sisters. After playing enough, she wanted to find a new toy. Getting affirmation and praise from others was the only way to make her extremely happy.
Therefore, when Yue Xin first appeared in her field of vision, Zhou Xue targeted her. The sister of the superstar Yue Lingfeng, who had a very different personality, was rude and silent. She looked very easy to bully. As long as she could get closer to Yue Xin, she would definitely find an opportunity to make good use of her..
