Chapter 949: He Will Help You
There was a robot watering the plants, a robot sweeping the floor, and a robot that approached her. These robots were of varying heights but they all looked like astronauts.
“Hello, Ms. He, would you like to drink coffee or tea?” a robot suddenly said and its eyes that were as large as grapes blinked at her. A green light flickered on the screen in front of its chest and there were two choices, coffee or tea.
He Xiyan selected tea via the screen and soon, the robot walked away and came back with a cup of piping hot tea several minutes later.
“Thank you,” she said awkwardly. She felt strange being in a house that was filled with robots.
She looked around the house and decor of this mansion was slightly different from most houses. It was decorated in a Scandinavian style and the entire house was decorated in three shades, white, gray, and blue. It was clean and stylish, unlike the usual opulent decorations that adorned most mansions.
“Sis…” a familiar voice rang out.
Shu Man waved at her sister.
She wore a light yellow dress paired with a white pair of heels. Her long brown hair flowed down in waves down her back and was tied back with a hair ribbon. For someone who usually dressed casually, this was one of the rare occasions that she actually dressed up. Her outfit made her seem like a demure maiden from a good family.
She was 28 years old but she looked very young and beautiful because of her smooth skin and also because she rarely put on makeup. She looked a lot like her sister; they both had small and photogenic faces and their eyes and nose looked particularly similar. However, Shu Man was taller and with her slender curves, she was the kind of woman who seemed to become more beautiful over time.
The sisters hugged and under the lamplight, these two silhouettes overlapped.
They might not have grown up together and didn’t really spend a lot of time with each other, but they sincerely treasured the familial bond they shared.
“Sis, I would have never expected you to return to Ye City,” Shu Man said excitedly with her arms around her sister’s shoulders.
She had already known that her sister was still alive two years ago thanks to Su Ye’s investigations. She found his words hard to believe at first, so she personally made a trip down to a small city named Liyan where she saw her sister selling vegetables in the market. She spent the whole day mulling over it but she ultimately chose not to reconcile with her sister because she knew that her sister had been rescued by human traffickers after attempting to commit suicide by jumping into the ocean, then she was sold to a village after losing her memory. Although her sister was leading an average life, she noticed that her sister was smiling happily and no longer seemed so troubled. This was the first time she had seen her sister smiling so happily.
She had chosen to keep this knowledge a secret because she didn’t want her sister to discover her sad past and hoped that her sister would continue living happily and peacefully. Unfortunately, reality had come crashing down.
“Man Man…” He Xiyan called her sister’s name and there was a faint smile on her lips as she looked at her sister. She felt very comforted to know what she was doing well.
“Sis, let’s head inside,” Shu Man said as she led He Xiyan to the living room and they sat side by side on the sofa.
Soon, two robots served them drinks and a fruit salad.
“Sis…” Shu Man started when she saw how troubled her sister seemed. She patted her sister’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve already told Ye about the trouble you’ve faced in engaging a lawyer. He’ll do his best to find you a good lawyer and will also do his best to help you win these two cases.”
