Chapter 340: He Could Not Forget and Move On, He Still Loves Her!

Helan Xiuse blushed and said, “Mom…”

Helan Xiuse felt annoyed by her mother’s comment. Her mother’s proclamation of her unconditional love was only to fulfill her own selfish desires and materialistic needs through her daughter.

Helan Fangnian’s mind was filled with images of Yan Qingsi. He drowned himself in work to distract his mind from thinking about her. He wanted to numb himself and desensitize his mind from any emotions just to forget about Yan Qingsi. He thought it was working until he met her again. All of his efforts in repressing his emotions and feelings went down the drain. His repressed emotions came flooding back to him with a vengeance.

He could not forget about her and move on. He still very much loved her.

Their car had just pulled up at their home.

“Mom, Xiuxiu, go on home without me. I’ll need to head back to my firm for some work,” Helan Fangnian said.

Hearing this made Helan Xiuse pout as she simply said, “You’re always busy with work and I barely see you around anymore. Since we’re already home, why don’t you come inside and take a break.”

Helan Fangnian patted her head and said, “Just give me a few more days alright. Go on home.”

Helan Fangnian left after saying that, leaving both mother and sister to enter alone.

Upon entering their house, Helan Xiuse asked while biting her lips, “Mom, why do I feel like when brother came by for lunch earlier he was only paying attention to sister Qingsi and not brother Tingfeng?”

Mrs. Helan gave a parcel to one of her maids as she elegantly fixed her hair. She answered, “My dear Xiuxiu, you’re the star of our family. Our pride and joy. You have a high social status and some people are just like toys, only good to look at.”

Hearing her mother’s answer, she blinked her eyes and nervously said, “Mom… are… you… talking about… Sister Qingsi?”

“My foolish, innocent girl. You need to learn to not trust everyone you meet. Learn to keep your guard up. You have a great cousin so there’s no need for you to have another sister,” Mrs. Helan said as she gently pats Xiuse’s hand.

Helan Xiuse felt extremely cornered. She nervously said, “But she is… I think I understand. Oh right, was what I’ve said earlier correct, Mom?”

If her own daughter could so easily see through her facade, Mrs. Yue must have caught on too.

“So what if he pays attention to her?” Mrs. Helan said with a cold smile.

“Mom, how could you not worry about brother and why he only paid attention to her? He had a very weird look on his face earlier right?” Helan Xiuse added.

“My foolish girl… Remember what I said just now; don’t waste anymore effort on someone like her. It’s only a matter of time before Yue Tingfeng tosses her aside. Just like clothing, only to be tossed away after two days of being worn. Anything that’s thrown away would be broken or worn-out. Completely unusable. You wouldn’t pick up worn-out clothing from the trash now, would you? She’s only good for having a pretty face, it’s completely normal for a young man to be attracted to pretty faces. She’s completely empty on the inside without her good looks,” Mrs. Helan ranted.

“But what if… What if brother has a crush on her? Isn’t she dating Yue Tingfeng now?” Helan Xiuse asked further.

“Dating? Oh Xiuxiu, you’re too naive. You actually believed what Mrs. Yue said? Hmph, no one in the entirety of the Yue family will accept someone like Yan Qingsi. She can try getting married into the family but a family so lavish and pride themselves on their luxurious lifestyle would never be tainted by the likes of Yan Qingsi,” Mrs. Helan ranted further.

“But she said…” Helan Xiuse said.

“I thought it was true at first. However, after giving it much thought, I finally understood everything. She only did that to spite me. It was all an elaborate show, and she had the audacity to compare that girl with your cousin. Mrs. Yue treated her like a precious child of her family. Even after all these years, she could never change her habit of being blind to reality,” Mrs. Helan added.

“Mom, why are both of you like this? Did something happen between you two to have caused such a deep-rooted hatred between both of you? Weren’t everyone just getting along pretty well before?” Helan Xiuse asked nervously with a sheepish tone.

“Not hatred. It’s just that seeing her miserable makes me happy,” Mrs. Helan replied with a laugh.
