"Who is she?"
Shu Lei looked at Little Jie walking past as if she was very surprised.
"Shu Lei, you better leave now."
With a dark face, Shu Zimo pulled her behind him.
"Hello, beautiful young lady. I am Shu Zimo's half-sister."
However, Shu Lei ignored him, as if she had found a new target.
"Hello, I'm Zimo's girlfriend."
This was the first time that Xiao Jie was speaking to an outsider as her girlfriend.
"Hehe, big brother, you have the money to hide your charms, but you don't have the money to raise your father. If sister-in-law knows that you're unfilial, say …"
"Zimo, what happened?"
Although she could hear some clues from the conversation between the Shu siblings, Xiao Jie pretended not to understand anything.
"Nothing, Xiao Jie, did you cook tonight? Let's go out and eat. "
Shu Zimo held onto Xiao Jie, one hand holding onto Shu Lei as he dragged her towards the door.
"Zimo, since it's your sister, then let's eat together tonight."
Xiao Jie said with an extremely gentle voice.
"No, since the two of you have lived in two different worlds, then I won't disturb you anymore. Big brother, you should accompany sister-in-law well. We'll chat another day."
Shu Lei said as she reached out her hand towards Little Jie.
Xiao Jie hesitated for a second and shook her hand back.
"Alright, you can leave now."
Shu Zimo looked at Shu Lei in annoyance. As a younger sister, this younger sister was truly annoying.
Xiao Jie gripped her hands tightly.
It turned out that Shu Lei had actually placed a name card in her hand just now.
What was Shu Lei going to do? What did she mean by "pay"?
No matter what was going on between the siblings, this Shu Lei gave her too many doubts, especially regarding that 'father'.
That night, Little Jie was exceptionally silent.
In the evening, she repeatedly looked at Shu Lei's name card, wondering if she should make a call in the evening.
It was another sleepless night. On the second morning, after Shu Zimo went to work, Xiao Jie held onto Shu Lei's name card and stared blankly into space.
After staring blankly for an hour, she finally pulled out Shu Lei's phone.
"Hello, is this Miss Shu?"
Xiao Jie was a little nervous. Although she had thought of transferring the hatred from Shu Lei to Shu Lei, she had never had the chance to do so.
Today's opportunity had come. In the midst of her ecstasy, she also felt a little worried.
Surprised, Shu Lei actually took the initiative to make an appointment this time.
Her previous plan that she had always been keeping in her mind now stirred again. This was a rare opportunity, and she definitely wouldn't let it go this time.
The day they agreed upon with Shu Lei, Xiao Jie purposely arrived five minutes late.
From the reports, he found out that Shu Lei had always played a lot of cards. He didn't expect that she didn't get angry today and instead got up with a smile to welcome him.
"Miss Shu, what can I do for you?"
At this moment, Xiao Jie looked like a docile little daughter-in-law.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. Since you're Zimo's girlfriend, that means you have a high chance of becoming my sister-in-law. There are some things that I might want to tell you."
Shu Lei's smile was very brilliant, it was the same as the image on the screen.
"Miss Shu, please speak."
"You can call me Xiao Lei, since it's sister-in-law, we'll be family from now on, no need to be polite."
Shu Lei smiled gently, she really acted like a sister-in-law of Xiao Jie.
"Miss Shu must be joking. Everyone knows Zimo's character. Have you seen him being serious?"
"It's not the same. He did it with a purpose, it was just a facade, to let my dad relax his guard."
A sneer finally appeared on Shu Lei's face. Their surname was Shu, and none of them liked Shu Zhenhui.
"Why? Doesn't Zimo love his father? "
"Love! "Sister-in-law, you seem to be living a blissful family. None of the children in our Shu Family love and hate him. We'll just treat him as our father."
Shu Lei lit up a cigarette and said with a mocking expression.
"I don't understand."
Xiao Jie's hazy eyes appeared to be in a daze.
"Hehe, that means you still haven't gotten close to Zimo's heart. If one day he tells you everything about the Shu Family, that would mean he's fallen in love with you."
Initially, he had just called her sister-in-law, but this time, he poured a bucket of cold water on her.
"You should just call me Little Jie."
Xiao Jiexi's heart sank to the bottom. Why hadn't she thought of this for so long?
Originally, there were many questions that she wanted to ask Shu Lei. But now, a single sentence from Shu Lei caused her to lose all mood.
He had even forgotten about Shu Zhenhui.
After breaking up with Shu Lei, Xiao Jie returned to the Shu family in a daze.
She was blaming herself for being blinded by love. Why hadn't she achieved such a simple truth?
Now it seemed that Shu Zimo's proposal was a joke.
If he really loved her, he would tell her about the family, but he never mentioned it.
In the evening, when Shu Zimo came back, Xiao Jie asked unwillingly.
If Shu Zimo didn't answer, she told himself, she would give up, give up this love, and proceed according to his original plan.
Dinner time
"Zimo, was your previous proposal sincere?"
Little Jie grilled a mouthful of food and asked in a low voice.
"Of course, that is the first time I proposed to someone, but you rejected it. Little Jie, you can't still be suspicious right now, right?"
Shu Zimo's chopsticks stopped in midair.
"No, I was just thinking that you've never told me about your family. Could it be that the child last year was also fake?"
"Child? You mean Ann? "
Shu Zimo was momentarily at a loss as to who the child Xiao Jie was talking about.
"Yeah, I remember you said last year that you were your sister's child, but her mother's surname seems to be He."
Xiao Jie tried to probe.
"Xiao Jie, is it because of what happened with Shu Lei that day?"
Xiao Jie lowered her head and did not say a word.
"Shu Zhenhui is also my father. He has a natural disposition, and the women he has played with don't count. Just taking an illegitimate child as an illegitimate child is something he probably doesn't even remember."
Shu Zimo put down his chopsticks. He really didn't want to say it, but since Xiao Jie asked, as a couple, he should say it.
"You mean, Miss He is also your half-sister?"
Xiao Jie pretended to be shocked.
"That's right, not only is it Little Wan, Shu Lei, and the others who live in the Shu Family Mansion, there are also those who aren't related to each other. Among these people, only Little Wan can be considered to be a legitimate child. Sigh, Xiao Jie, those matters have nothing to do with us. With my mom gone, I am just a single person. "
Shu Zimo gave a simple explanation, and then said, "Nothing has anything to do with them."
"But he's your father after all?"
"No, I don't have such an animal father. Eat your food and don't talk about him."
Ever since the day Shu Zimo had mentioned the family, the relationship between the two of them had clearly turned stiff.
Although Xiao Jie still stayed at Zimo's house, making food and waiting for Zimo to come back, she usually wouldn't take the initiative to speak as long as Zimo didn't say anything.
And for a month, Xiao Jie did not seem to have a smile on her face.
Many times, when Zimo went out, Xiao Jie would also leave.
She didn't go shopping, but to look for Shu Lei.
Who knew what Shu Lei An's intentions were, she actually asked Xiao Jie to be her assistant.
Naturally, Xiao Jie agreed, but she did not tell Shu Zimo.
Before the Spring Festival, Xiao Jie finally spoke with Shu Zimo.
Zimo, I'm going back to my hometown for a trip. I'll leave tomorrow.
Zi Mo was dumbfounded by Xiao Jie's sudden request to go home.
After being together for such a long time, he had never heard Xiao Jie talk about it.
"Xiao Jie, where is your hometown? How come I've never heard you say it before? "
Shu Zimo asked doubtfully.
"In Guangxi, although my parents are gone, I still have an uncle. A few days ago, I received a call from my uncle, he was looking for me."
Lying was a common occurrence for Xiao Jie, and she did not feel guilty about it.
"Are you sure it's your uncle?"
"Yeah, when I was young, I saw him before. Plus, he had our family fortune, so it can't be wrong. Uncle said that all these years, Grandmother had been talking about me, telling me to go back this year to celebrate the Spring Festival no matter what."
"Is that so? Then wait for me for a few days, I'll accompany you back."
Shu Zimo pondered for a moment.
He had to take care of things in the company. After all, it was not the same as before.
"No need, I'm still young. If I suddenly bring a man back, I'm afraid Grandma won't be able to take it."
Little Jie quickly refused.
"But I'm worried about you alone."
Shu Zimo seemed very worried.
"It's fine, I've already booked a plane ticket. I'll be arriving soon. Uncle said that he will pick me up at the airport."
Xiao Jie smiled.
This was the first time in a month that she had laughed. Shu Zimo actually believed this to be true.
One week before the Spring Festival, Shu Zimo personally escorted Xiao Jie back to the airport.
Xiao Jie did not board the plane that day. Instead, she waited for a clock inside the plane after the gate was closed. After confirming that Shu Zimo had left the airport, she came out.
Leaving the airport, Xiao Jie flew straight to Shu Lei's residence.
From today onwards, she was going to be a heartless, vengeful woman.
Although she knew that Shu Zhenhui was bankrupt, but since he was still alive, she couldn't let him go.
Furthermore, Shu Zhenhui's children were all better off than her.
Even though she had gone bankrupt, no one in her children had suffered, especially Shu Zimo, Shu Lei, and that He Xiaowan.
She was a little resentful, after knowing Shu Lei, the one who heard the most from her was He Xiaowan.
She was jealous of the woman's good fortune. She was jealous that she would meet a good man.
Not only did that man give her everything, he even avenged her. The reason why Shu Zhenhui was in such a sorry state today was all because of that man.
Ever since she knew that Shu Zimo did not like her as much as she had imagined, she had become insane.
She could not meet a sweet person, nor could she meet a man who was infatuated with her.
From before the Spring Festival to now, a month had passed. Other than a few phone calls, Shu Zimo never said that he would pick her up from the text.
Although he had mentioned asking her to leave, he believed her when she said that her grandmother was sick and needed to stay and take care of her.
She hated him. She hated him.
She had already seen Shu Zhenhui a few times.
Every time he came to ask Shu Lei for money, she always stopped him.
She admitted that she had some sort of poison.
After meeting Shu Zhenhui a few times and gaining her trust, she made a move on him.
She used Shu Lei's money to find him a woman.
And a real HIV carrier.
He had toyed with women all his life, and she wanted him to have the worst of it.
Of course, before that, she had already encouraged Mommy Shu Lei to divorce that slut.
Although she hated all the men with the surname Shu, she still showed mercy towards women.
If she had to climb into his bed after the divorce, it would have been her own fault.
Everything had been arranged very well. No one had discovered her, but she wasn't happy.
Her heart seemed to be missing something. The more she did bad things, the emptier her heart became.
She knew that she had completely fallen. She let Shu Lei use her body as a bargaining chip to take over the show, and even told Shu Lei to seduce the man that was He Xiaolan's lover.
She had done everything she could. It had been eight months since she left Shu Zimo.
She had cursed herself and even slapped herself, but she still missed him.
She had thought of his sudden appearance in front of her, but there was nothing.
Except for the infrequent phone calls, the text messages, and the week after that, she seemed to have lost all meaning.
At this moment, she finally began to understand what her mother felt like all those years ago.
Love is not wrong, it is wrong to love the wrong person.
That day, when Shu Lei came back, she became very angry and destroyed many things.
"Have a drink, will you be in a better mood?"
Xiao Jie waited until Shu Lei finished throwing the stuff, then poured a glass of wine and passed it to her.
"My mood will never be good. Little Jie, I worked so hard and paid all of my effort, including my body, to achieve what I have achieved today. Why does she always get everything so easily? "
Shu Lei gulped down the liquor and asked Xiao Jie to pour it.
"Who is she?"
Xiao Jie asked carefully.
Shu Lei's temper was very bad, but there were very few people who could make her hate them that much.
"Other than He Wan, who else can it be?"
"Didn't she already go abroad?"
