After hearing this, Feng Chengjie leaned back slightly and narrowed her eyes to look intently for a while. She confirmed that her vague sense of something being off was accurately pointed out by her third brother. When she turned her face again, there was an added touch of a smile. Though the smile retained a cool aloofness, making one feel perpetually distant. With an imperious glance, she swept over the woman standing calmly and quietly beside her, undeniably beautiful and refined beyond words. She raised her chin slightly, "What about you? What do you think?" Gu Zixuan was suddenly caught by the question and looked up to meet those deep, sharp eyes of Feng Chengjie, deeply realizing that the members of the Feng family all possessed eyes that extremely penetrated the soul. Feng Chengxuan was keen and gentle, although he didn’t say much, mostly smiling, yet everything seemed to be understood by him without needing to utter a word. The second sister, Feng Chengjie, was astute yet cold, carrying an artist’s high-minded aloofness, but wasn’t the assertiveness of her words also a reflection of knowing everything at heart? The intelligence of the youngest sister, Feng Chengyue, needed no further elaboration, amongst a group of socialites, the most radiant and quick-witted one was undoubtedly Feng Chengyue. As for Feng Chengjin... that kind of cunning and emotional intelligence... Gu Zixuan no longer wished to describe. Gu Zixuan caught sight of Feng Chengjin’s constantly smiling eyes out of the corner of her eye, paused briefly, and then offered a light smile, looking over at Feng Chengjie. She spoke, reserved yet graceful, "I think Cheng Jin is right, the lower left jaw is crooked." This composed and unperturbed agreement made Feng Chengjie give Gu Zixuan a deep look, and with a slight laugh, something finally relaxed in her expression. The simple invitation made Feng Chengjin’s eyes bend deeply. ... ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel✶fire.net When exiting Feng Chengjie’s sculpture studio. Sitting in the car, Feng Chengjin gently held Gu Zixuan’s hand, smiled lightly, "Second sister has always been this way, no malice intended. Her words are just a habit of stating the ugly truths upfront, not targeted at you, no need to take it to heart. Spend more time and you’ll get used to it. If you really can’t get along, after all, we’re not spending our lives with her, we just won’t go back to the old house as often." Gu Zixuan thought about the time when Feng Chengjie came down and accompanied them for tea, and the words she said before they left. "Regarding yours and Cheng Jin’s situation, I won’t interfere, but if you want to enter the Feng family, you have to be clean. This clean doesn’t mean our Feng family is old-fashioned, insisting women hold onto vain titles, but a clean woman brings fewer troubles, and our family seeks nothing but tranquility. The reputation of a prestigious family is built on generations of forebears living a lifetime of integrity and self-restraint, not something any younger member can whimsically trample upon. Your family is also from a scholarly and high official background, you understand these things." Faced with her nod, Feng Chengjie said, "So, don’t mind if I, as the second sister, speak harshly. Considering you’ve divorced before, and now caused quite a stir. Cheng Jin says it was an accident, I’ll temporarily count it as such. After all, it was before marriage, and I don’t want to delve into it further. I believe in his ability to handle it, it’s just a matter of time. However, if you marry into our family, and there are endless entanglements that disturb our peace, don’t blame me, as the second sister, for not being able to accept you. Especially you, Cheng Jin, if you’re hurt again, I won’t have kind words for you..." The last sentence was truly unexpected for Feng Chengjin. Feng Chengjin’s expression froze. He always thought, apart from his father and elder brother, no one else in the family knew he once liked Gu Zixuan. But unexpectedly, his second sister... So, at that moment, Feng Chengjin’s emotions were a mix of amusement and deep sentiment, "Second sister..." he called her.
