The guests were in an uproar and all looked toward the source of the sound.
"Pei Nian?" Bai Zhijin deliberately raised her voice, "What's wrong with you? Why are you shouting so loudly!"
"No... I'm not Pei Nian!" Pei Shasha screamed, turning sharply to look at Jiang Mianmian. "Tell me! Did you recognize me just now? I'm not Pei Nian at all! Explain this to everyone!"
"Niannian, what are you talking about?" Jiang Mianmian smiled calmly and sarcastically, pushing her hand away with an air of nonchalance. "Did you just have a little to drink? Are you a bit drunk?"
"Jiang Mianmian!"
Jiang Mianmian stepped forward and took her hand, looking at her pitifully, "Niannian! We're sisters, can you please not cause trouble here? Today is the Lu family's day, and my daughter is here too... You, please tone it down!"
"No……"
"Nian Nian!"
"I'm not, I'm not!" Pei Shasha covered her ears and backed away. "I'm not Pei Nian! How many times do you have to tell me before you believe me!"
Bai Zhijin laughed out loud, hooking her arm around Pei Shasha's and saying casually, "Hey Pei Nian, what's wrong with you? If you're really not yourself, then how come you look like this? But... if I had to point out a difference between you and Pei Nian, I think it would be your wrist, right?"
"Get away!" Pei Shasha pushed her away fiercely and ran quickly onto the stage.
Pei Nian stood there calmly.
The moment has finally arrived.
She took a deep breath. Facing Pei Shasha, she felt no warmth of a reunion with a sister. The person before her, who looked exactly like her, seemed like a demon who had walked out of hell.
Pei Nian thought, perhaps Pei Shasha really was a devil. Humans are two-sided, half angel, half devil. And their mission as twins was to amplify this aspect of humanity, to display it vividly to the world.
"Who are you?" Pei Shasha gritted her teeth. "Who exactly are you! I am the eldest daughter of the Qin family, and this family fortune should be inherited by me!"
"Are you crazy?" Qin Yu narrowed his eyes and sneered, "This is my own sister, who do you think you are?"
"Qin Yu!" Pei Shasha glared at him. "You know I'm not Pei Nian! I'm not!"
"Then who are you?"
Enraged, Pei Shasha yelled and lunged forward, tearing off Pei Nian's mask!
A gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd.
Everyone watched with their breath held; the air seemed to freeze.
These are two identical faces...
The only difference is that one face is filled with rage, while the other is calm and indifferent.
"Pei Nian!" Pei Shasha's eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost. "You... how did you get here?"
Pei Nian stared coldly at her without saying a word, while Qin Yu stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "What, do you think she should be dead?"
Pei Shasha's lips twitched a few times as she looked at them incredulously.
Everyone was shocked by this scene, and the hall was completely silent until a sudden sound broke the silence.
Police officers quickly entered the venue, and before Pei Shasha could react, cold handcuffs were on her wrists.
"No...you have no right to arrest me!" Pei Shasha struggled fiercely. "I am the eldest daughter of the Qin family!"
"Ha, our Qin family has no daughter like you!" Qin Yu smirked. "Pei Shasha, stop daydreaming! Do you think you can replace Pei Nian?"
"Let me go! Let me go!"
"Pei Nian!" Pei Shasha's voice changed. "I...I'm your sister! We're twins, both Mom's daughters, you can't treat me like this!"
"Sister?" Pei Nian sneered, "When you locked me in the dark room and tried to kill me, did you ever think that I was your older sister?"
"Pei Nian..."
"We should have been the closest people in the world. But Pei Shasha, you ruined all of that!"
"Excuse me for disturbing everyone." The police officer's expression was stern, and his voice was firm and powerful. "After investigation, it has been found that this Ms. Pei Shasha impersonated someone else to commit fraud and had premeditated murder. The evidence is conclusive, and we are now taking her back to the police station for questioning in accordance with the law!"
After speaking, the officer presented an arrest warrant.
"No, you can't!" Pei Shasha was still making a last-ditch effort to argue. "Pei Nian, no! I... I didn't mean to do that to you! I just wanted to get some money from the Qin family, and then... and then after I got the money, I would share it with you! I know maybe my way of expressing it was wrong, but... but we are sisters, how could I harm you?"
“Pei Nian, Pei Nian! You can’t do this to me! If Mom sees this, she…”
“If Mom saw this, she would approve of me.” Pei Nian glanced at her blankly, her voice trembling slightly, “Pei Shasha, you know we are sisters, but what have you done to me?”
Pei Shasha's face turned deathly pale, and tears welled up in her eyes. "I was just momentarily blinded by greed, please forgive me..."
"impossible!"
"Pei Nian, don't you care about your mother anymore?!"
"You were the one who stopped caring about your mother first!" Pei Nian roared, and Pei Shasha froze in place, too scared to move.
The few seconds of silence felt as long as centuries.
Pei Nian turned away from her, and the police officer signaled to take her away immediately.
Pei Shasha screamed like a madwoman, but her screams grew fainter and fainter until they disappeared at the end of the corridor.
"Niannian!" Jiang Mianmian rushed over immediately and hugged her tightly.
However, she felt Pei Nian's slightly trembling body and icy hands. She rubbed her back back and forth, hoping to make her feel better. Pei Nian took several deep breaths, but in the end, she couldn't hold back, and her eyes quietly reddened.
She had no sympathy for Pei Shasha.
She just felt a tightness in her chest, as if a heavy stone was pressing down on it.
That was her only family in the world, her own sister. It's said that twins have a telepathic connection; when Pei Shasha screamed so wildly, her heart actually felt a slight pang.
She can avenge a wrong, but she can't sever blood ties.
"It's alright," Qin Yu patted her shoulder, "It's all over now."
“Yes, it’s all over now!” Jiang Mianmian grasped her hand and glanced at a certain spot where Huo Jingnan was standing anxiously looking in their direction, hesitating whether or not to come over.
