Out of the corner of her eyes, Sheng Lin saw that He Ruiting had walked far away, so she slowly stopped crying as well. The two streams of tears on her face had also been wiped away by her.
It was Su Jinyi who disturbed her every time she was about to succeed, causing her plans to fail again and again. If possible, Sheng Lin hoped that Su Jinyi would disappear from this world forever.
"Su Jinyi." He Ruiting growled through gritted teeth, afraid that the nearby He Ruiting would hear him.
He retracted the expression on his face slightly. Naturally, he was unwilling to allow Su Jinyi and her to scratch out any sparks, and followed in his footsteps.
At the corner where she went downstairs was the dining table. She saw the two of them having di er together in whispers, as if there really was a couple. Naturally, her hands on both sides of her body tightened slightly, but she was unable to release her anger.
If the eyes were daggers, Su Jinyi would have already been riddled with holes.
The moment she saw He Ruiting raise his hand up to give Su Jinyi food, she couldn't hold it in anymore. Furthermore, standing at the corner of the stairs and peeking at them while they ate made her feel uncomfortable.
He walked over with a slight smile and said with a look of surprise, "You guys are eating."
She didn't mind what she ate during di er at all. Coincidentally, there was a spot beside He Ruiting where she brought the plate that was originally far away in front of her and said while gri ing: "You don't mind me eating with you guys, right?"
Although it was a question, she had already sat down before she could ask. She had a serious expression on her face as if she was the mistress of the house.
Immediately after, He Ruiting's face darkened. Just as he was about to reprimand Sheng Lin, he saw that Su Jinyi had opened her mouth earlier.
"What's the matter?" Su Jinyi looked at Sheng Lin who was about to grab a pair of chopsticks and start preparing to eat di er. Although she was extremely impatient at Sheng Lin's shameless performance, she still suppressed the feelings in her heart and asked with a friendly face.
The hand Sheng Lin used to pick up the chopsticks trembled slightly, and her lowered eyes were covered by her long eyelashes;
It was just acting. She was the best at this skill.
He also put down his chopsticks and smiled at Su Jinyi, as if she did not have her previous temper. The two of them acted like sisters that had been playing for a long time: "Nothing much, I just want to eat with you guys, is that not okay?"
Seeing that she was about to start acting again, Su Jinyi couldn't help but to hold her forehead, regretting in her heart that she had agreed to let him stay with her last night.
Although the expression on her face was extremely gentle, the words she spoke seemed to have stabbed into Sheng Lin's heart bit by bit, "If I remember correctly, Miss Sheng was forcefully left behind without a care in the world last night. If you know your own limitations, you should be the first one to leave this morning and not naturally eat breakfast with us."
What Sheng Lin did not realize was that the hand holding the chopsticks she was using was trembling, her face was pale, and just as she was about to call for reinforcements to look for He Ruiting, he saw that he was looking at Su Jinyi with a smile.
"Oh, right." Su Jinyi seemed to have suddenly recalled something, and said with a smile that was yet not a smile: "Miss Sheng, I hope you can understand your status here, the force of the situation is not sweet, the reason why your plan failed is your own personal question, don't bother us with your empty dreams again."
"I??" She opened her mouth a few times, wanting to explain herself, but no words came out. She hated Su Jinyi more and more in her heart.
"Miss Sheng, we have yet to reach the point where we have no other choice but to call you Miss Sheng, but if you still persist in doing so and have those shameful thoughts, don't blame us for being impolite."
Su Jinyi's expression became more and more vicious, as if she was secretly somewhat similar to He Ruiting when she was angry. Her tone of voice carried a threatening tone, but it was enough to make Sheng Lin feel fear.
Sheng Lin's face turned pale white. Actually, Su Jinyi knew everything, and just had not said it out loud, but in her eyes, every time Su Jinyi ridiculed her, she was overestimating herself and using her strength to ridicule her.
At this moment, she had always wanted to tell He Ruiting about the grievances she had suffered. She looked at the man beside her, but he looked at Su Jinyi with eyes filled with praise.
She shook her head, firmly believing that as long as Su Jinyi was not present, He Ruiting would long ago be her, and push all the sins she had committed onto Su Jinyi, causing a trace of hatred to arise in her heart.
The collision between the corner of the chair and the ground produced a "Sizzle" sound. Before even He Ruiting could react, Sheng Lin was already standing beside him.
She pushed Su Jinyi down to the ground with all her might. Although Su Jinyi knew that her injuries weren't serious, she still managed to drag her down to her wounds.
She pursed her lips, seeing Sheng Lin like this, she knew that Sheng Lin was too emotional, and upon seeing that she was about to slap him, she closed her eyes.
In that instant, before He Ruiting could even react, he had already grabbed Sheng Lin's hand. He flung her hand hard, and not far away, a "Putong" sound could be heard.
Secretly regretting that she had been distracted just now, she checked Su Jinyi's injuries, seeing that there were no major issues, but she turned to look at Sheng Lin fiercely, the look in her eyes was one of fear, and every time she saw his gaze, she felt that he was a demon from hell, her entire body trembling, her hand was injured from He Ruiting's last struggle.
When the servant heard such a commotion in the living room, he hurriedly came out to check, only to see his mistress lying on the floor, crying out in alarm.
Receiving He Ruiting's gaze, he anxiously roared out: "What are you still standing there for, quickly call the doctor."
The servant who had been in a daze called back to him. His entire body trembled, but he quickly replied, "Okay, I'll go now."
Su Jinyi looked at the man in front of her, who was so afraid that something was wrong, and couldn't help but feel her heart ache. She forced him to look her in the eye, and saw the undisguised guilt and panic in his eyes, and smiled.
"It's okay, I'm not that delicate. I just fell down."
What she should have made Sheng Lin feel fortunate was that Su Jinyi was fine. If there really was a chance, he would have wanted her to disappear forever. Originally, she had been extremely magnanimous to let her stay at home all night, but she discovered that she was still as willful as before.
He stood up and walked towards the woman in the corner with a look of disgust on his face."Get up and get out of here!"
His face was extremely dark, and even his tone was not as calm as before. Although his voice was usually calm, this time, a hint of anger was added to his tone.
