Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 573 - Chapter 573 Chapter 573 Little Sweetheart_1

Chapter 573: Chapter 573 Little Sweetheart_1 Chapter 573: Chapter 573 Little Sweetheart_1 He Rongxi was keenly aware of Wei Xiaogang’s character; he only mentioned him to He Jinlan as a form of revenge. Right now, introducing him to He Shasha was the last thing he wanted to do.

But he still had his reputation to uphold and he couldn’t cause a scene yet.

“Xiaogang! This is my eldest daughter, He Shasha, who also happens to be the niece of the Leng Family.”

“Shasha, this man here is your younger sister’s fiance, Wei Xiaogang.”

He Jinlan felt humiliated. Technically, she was older than He Shasha and she should be the rightful daughter of the He family.

“Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!”

“Hello, hello!”

He Shasha was holding her chopsticks and glanced at He Jinlan, catching the look of hatred in her eyes. “Oh! Younger sister, you also took the university entrance exam and even attended the best high school in the provincial capital. I guess your exam results must be pretty good, right?”

He Jinlan’s hand gripped the chopsticks tightly, her knuckles turning an unnatural shade of white.

After what happened to Jing Tong, and then being hounded by Wei Xiaogang, her mind had not been on her studies. As a result, her grades had plummeted and she had struggled with many of the exam questions. Naturally, she had not passed.

“Ah! Enough.” He Rongxi let out a sigh, “I am planning for your sister to repeat a year.”

“Ha-ha-ha…” He Shasha laughed coldly and taunted, “When He Jinlan was in our class, she was the almighty class monitor and even had the top student in our province accused of copying her works. How could she possibly need to repeat a year?”

He Jinlan bit her lip, suppressing the resentment in her heart.

If she wasn’t already so good at keeping her composure, she would have loved to tear apart He Shasha’s detestable face.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk… I must call our teachers and classmates in Qi Li Town and inform them about your exam results, little sister. That’ll expose your true colors.”

He Jinlan felt a pain in every organ – her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys – with hate. She had always been the pride and joy in Qi Li Town, the perfect child in the eyes of parents and teachers. How could she bear such humiliation?

Admitting that she was inferior to Jiang Nanfei was something she would rather die than do.

Suddenly, He Jinlan’s eyes welled up with tears that fell in big droplets, making Wei Xiaogong’s heart ache.

He was always one to have a soft spot for women.

“Dad, I am full! I am going back to my room.” He Jinlan stood up pitifully and left, feeling utterly heartbroken.

If it was like before, He Rongxi would certainly have been patient and comforting. But now, her behavior was too reminiscent of Jing Tong’s, and it made him sick.

“Uncle He, I’ll go check on Jinlan.” Wei Xiaogang hurriedly followed her out.

He Shasha had intended to provoke He Jinlan, and now that her target had left, she no longer felt the need to continue the act. “I’m also full! I’m leaving!”

“Wait, I want to discuss with you about a celebration dinner for your excellent exam results. What do you think?”

“Sure! How about the day after tomorrow?” She had also planned to host a grand celebration.

“Alright! I will arrange it now.”

In her room, He Jinlan collapsed onto her soft bed, her heart filled with hatred. Her fingers tightly clutched her blanket. She heard the sound of the door opening and closing behind her and with a flicker in her eyes, she started sobbing uncontrollably.

“Boo hoo hoo…”

“Maybe I just shouldn’t have been born, boo hoo hoo…”

The more she cried, the more her heart ached. Her sobbing was so melodious and delicate, it enchanted Wei Xiaogang. He pounced on her from behind, his hand slipping under her clothes.

While He Jinlan may not be breathtakingly beautiful, she was indeed enticing.

“Sweetie, don’t cry. Big brother is here to comfort you!”
