Xia Shi Xue saw that it was He Yun calling Fu Yan Ting, and she couldn't let Fu Yan Ting come into contact with He Yun the moment he woke up. Xia Shi Xue took the phone and answered.
He Yun had not expected Fu Yan Ting's call to be answered by Xia Shi Xue.
Hearing the woman's crying, He Yun was stunned for a moment, then reacted. This crying was likely not Yan Xi's, but Xia Shi Xue's.
Although He Yun already had a definite answer in his heart, he still cautiously asked, "Shi Xue, is that you?"
"Big Brother, what should I do? Fu Yan Ting he... he... me..."
Xia Shi Xue decided to play the victim first.
Anyway, He Yun was devoted to his sister. One could tell from his attitude towards Yan Xi how protective and fond he was of his sister.
Xia Shi Xue's tearful complaint would only evoke more pity from He Yun.
He Yun would also help Xia Shi Xue seek justice from Fu Yan Ting.
"Alright, I understand this matter. Where are you now? Hurry back here."
Xia Shi Xue naturally dared not stay any longer. Although she wanted the servants of the Fu family to see her sleeping with Fu Yan Ting, she couldn't afford to disregard the bigger picture.
If Fu Yan Ting woke up after she had so meticulously plotted against him, he would surely kill Xia Shi Xue.
Despite her unwillingness, Xia Shi Xue still left Fu Yan Ting's residence as He Yun had instructed.
Upon returning to the He family, Xia Shi Xue confronted He Yun with a dramatic display of tears and protest. She knew He Yun might not believe her, but she tried her best to portray herself as a victim. She believed that He Yun, who doted on his sister, couldn't just stand by and watch his own sister suffer.
With this thought, a slight smile curved Xia Shi Xue's lips.
However, He Yun was not so easily fooled. Xia Shi Xue had gone to Fu Yan Ting's home, slept with him, and even made it onto the trending searches. The whole situation didn't seem simple at all.
He Yun and Fu Yan Ting had known each other for many years, and Fu Yan Ting had grown up with Xia Shi Xue. If Fu Yan Ting had any intentions towards Xia Shi Xue, he wouldn't have waited until now to act.
Fu Yan Ting could have confessed his feelings to Xia Shi Xue when he was single and followed the normal course of action.
He wouldn't have gotten entangled with Xia Shi Xue while still being ambiguous with Yan Xi.
This was clearly a conspiracy, and the answer to who was being set up was obvious.
However, Fu Yan Ting had many guards around him and was highly vigilant. He Yun couldn't understand how Fu Yan Ting could be manipulated by Xia Shi Xue without realizing it.
Now, He Yun didn't believe Xia Shi Xue was innocent.
But Xia Shi Xue was crying, so he had to calm her down before making any further plans.
Xia Shi Xue was unaware that her malicious scheme was full of flaws, and her portrayal of herself as a victim was unconvincing. After hanging up the phone, she returned to the He family, her mood exceptionally good throughout the journey. She even hummed a tune along the way. Upon reaching the He family, she didn't rush to get out of the car. In the car, she tore her clothes and then dripped eye drops into her eyes, causing tears to fall instantly.
Xia Shi Xue was still not satisfied, feeling her tears weren't flowing enough.
She simply poured the entire bottle of eye drops into her eyes. This time, her tears flowed uncontrollably, leaving her eyes watery and red.
Only then did Xia Shi Xue, with a frail demeanor, return to the He family.
He Yun had not yet gone to bed and was still in his study. Due to Yan Xi's whereabouts being unknown and her phone being unreachable, He Yun was worried that Yan Xi might do something rash. He also didn't know if Yan Xi had seen the trending news about Xia Shi Xue and Fu Yan Ting.
Although He Yun had already sent people to handle the matter, the news had already gone viral.
He Yun was still very concerned about Yan Xi's reaction upon seeing such news.
So worried about Yan Xi, He Yun had lost all desire to sleep and remained in his study.
Xia Shi Xue saw that the light in the study was on and assumed He Yun was waiting for her to return.
Without a second thought, Xia Shi Xue seized the moment while the eye drops were still effective and her tears hadn't dried.
She quickly pushed open the study door and went in.
Upon seeing He Yun, Xia Shi Xue's tears immediately flowed like a breached dam, uncontrollable.
He Yun was already worried about Yan Xi, and seeing Xia Shi Xue burst into tears before him made his expression extremely grim. Xia Shi Xue's crying only made He Yun more agitated.
He Yun asked in a low voice, "Where did you come from?"
"I came back from outside."
"Xia Shi Xue, you've known Fu Yan Ting for a long time. Today, you've caused such a huge mess. If you don't want Fu Yan Ting to retaliate against you, you'd better tell me the truth. Otherwise, even I can't help you if Fu Yan Ting gets serious."
"Big Brother, what do you mean by that? Are you implying that this was all a self-directed act, that I voluntarily went to him and then sent pictures to the paparazzi?"
He Yun gave Xia Shi Xue a knowing glance.
However, he said aloud, "I didn't say that. I just want to know the truth so I have something to say to help you when Fu Yan Ting questions me."
This put Xia Shi Xue at ease.
No matter what, as long as He Yun didn't know the truth, Xia Shi Xue fabricated a long story for him.
After listening, He Yun frowned slightly and looked at Xia Shi Xue, saying coldly, "When Fu Yan Ting called me tonight, he was at home. He also told me that Yan Xi hadn't returned home. You're telling me now that you met Fu Yan Ting at a club. Xia Shi Xue, are you suggesting that Fu Yan Ting deliberately went to the club just to sleep with you?"
Xia Shi Xue was surprised that He Yun not only wasn't helping her but was also blaming her. Her face turned extremely ugly.
However, Xia Shi Xue didn't dare to push He Yun too far. After all, she was also worried about what would happen if Fu Yan Ting found out the truth after waking up and decided to kill her.
He Yun had a point: Fu Yan Ting, if he was ruthless, wouldn't spare anyone.
Seeing Xia Shi Xue like this, He Yun had a pretty good guess of what had actually happened.
However, Xia Shi Xue was his sister. Although she didn't share the surname He, she had grown up in the He family.
He Yun had previously doted on his sister, Xia Shi Xue, immensely.
But at some point, Xia Shi Xue had become this way.
She would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
She even resorted to lying constantly.
He Yun was truly and utterly disappointed in this sister of his.
