s.h.i.+ Yi looked at Lu Weichun and held her hand. Even if she was his lover, he just can"t allow her to bully his sister like that. Before he could even speak out, Lu Mello interfered.
"What you say may be true." Lu Mello knew that if decided to side on s.h.i.+ Enxi too much, they might be surprised by his sudden change. "But just like what Xi"er said, I have agreed with this arranged marriage. It will benefit both of our family."
Aside from that, he would be able to watch s.h.i.+ Enxi closely and stop her from whatever schemes she had. He knew what s.h.i.+ Enxi was capable of. If she wanted to destroy his family, she could do that without any reluctance. Even if Lu Weichun was her brother"s lover, she could turn the tables and make s.h.i.+ Yi hate Lu Weichun.
Lu Mello could already see how s.h.i.+ Yi was looking at Lu Weichun. He sighed inwardly. Sometimes, his sister should stop her mouth from saying whatever comes in her mind. If she continued on being that way, it might just be the end of her. Even if s.h.i.+ Enxi was smiling, Lu Mello could already see the disapproving look in her eyes.
She was probably thinking about how her brother was able to fall in love with a woman like Lu Weichun.
"I know that you are doing this for our family but brother Mello you don"t have to-"
Lu Weichun was cut off when she saw the look on s.h.i.+ Enxi"s eyes. She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
s.h.i.+ Enxi was smiling at her but her eyes were cold like that of a predator.
Lu Weichun never liked s.h.i.+ Enxi so she didn"t back down when she saw her that way. If there was someone who didn"t believe s.h.i.+ Enxi"s kind and gentle facade, it was Lu Weichun. What she hated the most were those double-faced people. She may be close to s.h.i.+ Enxi when they were kids but ever since she saw that s.h.i.+ Enxi was faking her kind act, she started distancing away from her.
s.h.i.+ Enxi never worried about showing her true self to Lu Weichun. Who would believe her if she told them that she was a fake person?
The smile left s.h.i.+ Enxi"s lips and tears started breaming on the side of her eyes. "X-Xiao Chun... Do you hate me? I know that I shouldn"t be accepting this. Xiao Yao is like a sister to me, I don"t want to come in between her and Mello."
Lu Weichun rolled her eyes at the act that s.h.i.+ Enxi was showing. "Oh really? Aren"t you already doing that?"
s.h.i.+ Enxi turned her tearful gaze to her brother.
"That"s enough, Chun"er." s.h.i.+ Yi said with a serious look on his face.
"I have already talked about this matter to Xiao Yao." Lu Mello didn"t want to make things worse for s.h.i.+ Enxi and his sister. He could already feel the animosity between them and if this went on, it wouldn"t be good for his sister"s part.
s.h.i.+ Enxi was like a sleeping tigress, if waken up, she would attack her enemies ruthlessly. If she was hunting her prey, her patience was something that should not be taken lightly.
"Ah, let"s not deal with this anymore. Mello and Xiao Xi has already agreed to it and it seems like Mello has already settled things with his woman." Bai Min said. She didn"t know who Fan Xiao Yao was but all that mattered to her was that everything was already good between s.h.i.+ Enxi and Lu Mello."
Xia Meilin agreed to what Bai Min said. Since her son has already agreed to it, there was no point in dragging it any further. It was true that she preferred Fan Xiao Yao but s.h.i.+ Enxi was a nice and kind girl. s.h.i.+ Enxi was right, it was just a matter of time before the two would fall in love with each other.t It was a good thing that Xia Meilin decided to let Lu Tingxiao and Lu Yang to her mother-in-law.
"The food is getting cold, we should just enjoy our dinner right now."
Lu Weichun was so annoyed when she saw how everyone sided on s.h.i.+ Enxi. She watched as s.h.i.+ Yi comforted his sister.
Can"t they see how fake she was? What a pretentious b.i.t.c.h!
After dinner, Lu Mello brought s.h.i.+ Enxi to the garden.
"I know that I shouldn"t be saying this but... Xiao Chun seems to hate me." s.h.i.+ Enxi lowered her head. "I wonder if I did something wrong to her."
"Xiao Chun is always like that, just ignore her." Even Lu Mello didn"t know why her sister was acting so distant from s.h.i.+ Enxi. Could it be that she found out s.h.i.+ Enxi"s real colors?
s.h.i.+ Enxi and Lu Mello were both quiet for a while as they walked inside the garden maze, their minds busy thinking of different things. It was s.h.i.+ Enxi who broke the silent atmosphere around them first.
"Tell me, Mello, why did you agree on this when your mother gave you a chance to change your mind?" s.h.i.+ Enxi asked curiously.
Lu Mello chuckled lightly, "If I told you the reason, I don"t think that you will believe me."
"Try me."
"Well... I dreamed that if I married you, Xiao Yao will have a peaceful life and she will be able to live happily with the man that is really fated for her."
s.h.i.+ Enxi looked weirdly at him. "You agreed on this marriage just because of a dream?"
He laughed lightly, "See? I told you that you wouldn"t believe me."
"Don"t you love her?"
"I did and because of that, I want her to be happy."
s.h.i.+ Enxi stopped from walking, her face was now serious. Did he know about her plans against Fan Xiao Yao? Was he trying to keep watch on her by marrying her?
"Wow, I didn"t know that you"re such a martyr." She chuckled a bit, " Anyway, did you find anything about the culprit behind uncle w.a.n.g"s accident?"
