"What nonsense are you talking about! So what if Mu Zeyu doesn't buy me a 'One and Only' series ring? I'm still his wife, and I'll be his wife for life! What rings we buy is none of your business!"
"And you guys..." She turned and pointed at another group of young men: "You say my sister is prettier than me... How shallow! You men are all shallow! Ji Zhinan is a slut, that vixen face of hers has seduced countless men, and she even stole my Zeyu away..."
The older sister's outburst calling her younger sister a vixen immediately attracted the attention of the guests present, creating a noisy scene as everyone discussed the relationship between the Ji sisters.
No wonder the Ji family has only publicly acknowledged one daughter, Ji Zhixia, all these years; it turns out the two daughters don't get along...
"Ji Zhixia!" Mu Zeyu's forehead veins bulged as he hissed, "What nonsense are you spouting? Come back to the lounge with me to sober up!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward to grab Ji Zhixia.
"What are you doing!" Ji Zhixia shoved him hard. "You still have feelings for her, don't treat me like a fool, I know it all!"
After she finished speaking, she giggled, a chilling laugh that sent shivers down your spine.
"You all think Ji Zhinan is pretty, a high and mighty little princess... She's a princess my ass! She's a bastard, an orphan my grandfather brought into our family twenty years ago!"
"Whoosh!"
Ji Zhixia's sudden revelation shocked everyone present, and even the Ji and Mu families, who had just arrived, had their expressions change drastically.
Ji Zhixia, oblivious to her own mistakes, continued, "My parents only have me as their daughter. I'm their only little princess. Ji Zhinan is just a bastard... My dad said that all our family's assets will be mine from now on, and Ji Zhinan won't get a single penny..."
"Have you said enough?!"
A violent shout rang out from the crowd, and everyone turned their attention to it.
It was the old master of the Ji family.
Old Master Ji's face turned ashen, and he grabbed a cup and smashed it hard against Ji Zhixia.
"Shut up!!!"
The glass still contained red wine, which was then smashed onto Ji Zhixia's head.
Red wine was poured on her face, and the glass fell to her feet and shattered.
The sudden pain brought Ji Zhixia to her senses. She looked at the stunned crowd around her and the pale-faced members of the Mu and Ji families, and staggered.
"I...what did I say..."
She never expected that she would blurt out the truth while drunk, revealing the Ji family's secrets that had been hidden for so many years.
"grandfather……"
Ji Zhixia was eager to explain herself, but she dared not utter a sound because of the glare from Old Master Ji.
“Brother Zeyu…” she hurriedly reached for Mu Zeyu’s hand, “I didn’t mean to, I didn’t mean to…”
Mu Zeyu shoved her away with a look of disgust.
"Mom..." Ji Zhixia was truly frightened and looked at Madam Ji for help.
Madam Ji felt sorry for her daughter, but dared not step forward.
Ji Zhixia really made a mistake this time...
Revealing Ji Zhinan's background in front of so many people is a slap in the face to both the Mu and Ji families, and to Ji Pengfei.
The mother and daughter were on tenterhooks from the very beginning, fearing that Ji Zhinan might say or do something that would ruin the engagement party.
In the end, Ji Zhixia herself destroyed her own engagement ceremony.
"..."
In fact, Ji Zhinan had imagined this day when the truth would come out and everyone would know that she was not Ji Pengfei's daughter.
She had also considered that she might receive disdain, ridicule, or pity...
Now that all of this has come crashing down on him, Ji Zhinan realizes that he is not as strong as he thought...
