If it were the old Helian Xi, she might feel aggrieved enough to cry.

But now, that’s impossible.

She really doesn’t want to see Gu Jin Yan now.

The next day, when Gu Jin Yan was about to leave, he wanted to say something to Helian Xi.

However, thinking about how much she currently detests him, he could only knock on the door and say, "Xiao Xi, I’m going to work now."

Helian Xi didn’t respond. She got up in the morning and took her son to Xingchen Pavilion.

"Why are you here so early today, and with a suitcase? Are you planning to stay here?" Lu Xingzhi picked up Little Crab, "Little Crab, you’re getting more handsome!"

"I’ll stay here for a while! I really don’t want to see Gu Jin Yan. Honestly, Little Zhi Liao, I doubt I have much patience for him anymore. I feel even the love is almost gone. Really." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Lu Xingzhi looked at her in surprise and asked with concern, "What happened? Is there a problem?"

"It’s like this..." Helian Xi told Lu Xingzhi about yesterday’s incident and couldn’t help but complain. "Don’t you think it’s outrageous? Just because someone has heart disease, does that mean they can steal someone else’s husband?"

"That’s not right!" Lu Xingzhi was also angry, "That’s just so shameless."

"Right! You think it’s shameless too, don’t you? I’m so fed up with it. Anyway, I don’t want to see Gu Jin Yan’s disgusting face for now." Helian Xi sat there with her, "Little Zhi Liao, don’t let Gu Jin Yan know I’m here. Brother has a way, doesn’t he?"

"Sure!" Lu Xingzhi agreed without thinking, letting Gu Jin Yan realize the severity of the situation. "Don’t worry! I won’t tell Gu Jin Yan."

Lu Xingzhi even changed how she addressed him, showing how angry she was.

"Little Crab, what are you laughing at?" Lu Xingzhi saw Little Crab grinning at her and laughed as well.

"You little flirt, smiling when you see a pretty lady."

"Hehehe..." Little Crab laughed even harder.

"Little Zhi Liao, I want to study abroad. I don’t want to feel so defeated anymore. I originally just wanted to finish college. But after seeing you, I suddenly want to put in more effort. I still quite like painting."

After saying this, Helian Xi added, "Actually, it doesn’t necessarily have to be abroad. I just feel my life is worthless now."

Helian Xi sighed, "A woman really shouldn’t have kids too early. Divorce is possible, but it’s hard to let go of the kids."

Lu Xingzhi didn’t know how to respond.

She didn’t know how to comfort Helian Xi, either.

When Huo Jincheng came back, he found that Helian Xi was there again, and it seemed like she planned to stay.

"Honey, Xixi has been staying with us lately!" After Lu Xingzhi said this, she whispered something in his ear.

Huo Jincheng frowned. No matter how much he disliked Helian Xi, she was still his cousin. He could dismiss her, but when did others get the chance to bully her?

He looked at Helian Xi with disdain, "How useless, getting bullied outside to the point of running away from home."

"Brother, what can I do? The person has heart disease! I can’t exactly beat her up, can I?" Just the mention of heart disease made Helian Xi feel nauseated.

"Leave this matter to Uncle. He wouldn’t just watch his daughter get bullied."
