Chapter 157: Reading Letters From Home (2) (1/2)

After using a bag of pork jerky to keep that gluttonous Laiyue away, He Changdi was finally able to enjoy some peace and quiet in his room.

He gently placed the bag of snacks off to the side before sitting down by his desk and taking out his letters.

He read the letters from Matriarch He and his eldest brother He Changqi first, then those from Countess Jing’an and his best friend Prince Jin.

When he noticed that every family member had sung praises of Chu Lian, for the first time, He Changdi wasn’t filled with contempt. He gripped the letters in hand, lowered his gaze, and pursed his lips, seemingly lost in thought.

After being distracted for a good while, He Changdi put the letters from his family aside and opened the letter from Prince Jin.

However, the moment he read Prince Jin’s two-page letter, the hard-won sliver of guilt and bafflement from before vanished into thin air, without leaving a single speck behind!

Chu Lian! That wicked woman! How dare she!

So it was true — it was easier to move mountains and rivers than change a person’s nature!

He had truly been too naive, thinking that she had actually turned over a new leaf just because she was a bit different from the previous lifetime. Who would have thought that… Hmph! So a leopard really couldn’t change its spots!

Xiao Bojian, Chu Lian… One day… He’ll make that cheating couple pay!

By the time He Sanlang recovered from his episode of overwhelming hatred, Prince Jin’s letter was all crumpled up into a ball. When he released his grip on it, the bits of torn paper slipped between his fingertips and scattered, just like snow.

He Sanlang leaned back against the chair and closed his grudge-filled eyes, only to open them a few moments later. His eyes had darkened, and his aura also changed, becoming colder and stern.

He Sanlang’s gaze lowered, locking onto the huge leather envelope on the table. The sight of it now conjured a sense of ridicule instead of warmth.

An icy, mocking snort slipped out from between his lips.

He Sanlang reached out and tore open the massive envelope with his long, nimble fingers.
