"Why should this young lady apologize? Your shaless mother ran off with so random man, you’re nothing but a motherless wretch. Even if you want to hit now, that’s a fact you can’t change!" In the courtyard, a girl in her teens dressed in red pointed at Xin Er and said sharply, her eyes releasing a disdainful light that was infuriating.
The girls standing behind the girl in red felt that her words were too malicious, but since it didn’t concern them, none of them spoke up to stop her.
"You bully, don’t you dare pick on Sister Xin! You’re welco here, you leave, get out now!" Shengsheng was desperately holding back Xin Er, who was about to retaliate, her little face flushed red with anger as she ordered the girl in red to leave, clearly furious.
If they weren’t outnumbered, if it weren’t for it being a day of great joy where they couldn’t afford to make a scene, she would’ve definitely joined Sister Xin Er to drive all these people away, they were too an!
"Hmph, I am the guest, and if you dare to drive away today, tomorrow I will let everyone in the capital know of this incident!" The girl in red looked down on Shengsheng, blatantly threatening her: "There is an old saying—bad lands breed hard people, it sure is true for those who co from nowhere land. You even dare to drive away a guest, huh, is this the Mo Family’s way?"
"You, you’re talking nonsense, it was you who were bad first, you were the one bullying Sister Xin first." Shengsheng’s eyes reddened in frustration, holding back her tears with great effort.
She was only an eight-year-old girl, gentle and soft, and to have managed to tell the girl in red to leave was already her limit. Now, being pressured by the girl in red’s contemptuous words, she felt both angry and anxious, but didn’t know how to make her shut her mouth and stop saying such hurtful things.
"I’m bullying her? How have I bullied her? Isn’t it true that her mother ran off with so wild man? Isn’t it true that her mother doesn’t want her? Isn’t it true that she has no manners? Hmph, even if I am bullying her, so what? If you’re capable, then bully back!" The girl in red looked at the two sisters with satisfaction, venting her spite.
They were nothing but a bunch of bumpkins who ca from so godforsaken place, only here today because of sheer dumb luck, at best they’re just nouveau riche. Yet, a country girl who once couldn’t even eat her fill was now living better than her, a young lady from a great family. Why should that be?!
Thinking of the ruby the size of an egg she had inadvertently seen in the Jewelry box, the girl in red’s eyes flashed with intense jealousy and discontent.
"Let go, stop holding back, I want to kill this wench!" The girl in red’s words, like Sharp Swords, pierced Xin Er’s heart, which was already scarred.
At this mont, Xin Er was like a Firecrackers about to explode, her gaze fierce as she stared at the girl in red, her eyes threatening to tear her to pieces. If it weren’t for Shengsheng and Second young lady Han desperately pulling her back, she might have already rushed forward, recklessly tearing the mouth of the girl in red.
Ever since she learned of her father’s decision to remarry, even though Xin Er had co to accept this fact, she still harbored so resentnt. In her heart, no other woman, no matter how good, was her own mother, and her own mother, no matter how bad, couldn’t just be replaced so easily.
Her mother had done such a thing that led to their family being ridiculed for so many years, and the three sisters had been bullied for so many years, enduring so much humiliation. She couldn’t forgive, but the hatred buried deep in her heart had gradually begun to dissipate.
From that point on, her life no longer included the term ’my mother.’ But why bring that up on such a day? She was obviously trying to forget, so why did soone have to ntion it? It was their family’s most unbearable mory, why bring up that matter to humiliate her again?
People engulfed in anger often possess more than double their usual strength. Consud by rage, Xin Er had lost all reason, only thinking about getting her revenge on the girl in red who had exposed her scars.
"Sister Xin Er, today is your father’s happy day, you must not act impulsively, take this as if you were bitten by a mad dog. Surely, if a mad dog bites you, you wouldn’t bite back, would you?" Seeing that they were about to lose their hold on her, Second young lady Han was beside herself with anxiety as she pleaded, her years of upbringing also challenged by the girl in red’s offensive words.
Xin Er turned a deaf ear, her mind set on retaliating fiercely.
