This fate is really...
"Miss, isn't this dress too plain? What if..." Bai Zhi saw Jiang Li had spent a long time choosing and finally picked the plainest moon-shaped skirt. She was going to meet the Qin family later. What if the lady thought that Miss had lost face?
Jiang Li shook her head. "That's good."
In the past, the original owner was PUA-ed by Zhou's mother and daughter. Whenever she went out, she would wear fancy clothes like a nouveau riche. No wonder she became "famous".
"Sister, hurry up, Daddy will be angry soon."
Tsk, what an unlucky sound.
The door was pushed open, and sweet and soft voices were heard, but the tone was full of disdain and questioning.
When Jiang Li stood up, she saw a petite and lovely woman with fair skin. She looked very innocent and harmless. However, when she pursed her thin lips, her sarcasm was revealed.
Jiang Li raised an eyebrow, "Oh, so what?"
The person in front of her is her half-sister Jiang Shengsheng, the heroine of the original book and her natural rival. However, Zhou was promoted to the second wife ten years ago and is now considered the legitimate daughter.
Jiang Shengsheng was stunned, obviously not expecting Jiang Li to say that.
Thinking of her mother's instructions, a gloom flashed in her eyes, and she said with a bit of sarcasm: "Brother Qin has come in person, so don't keep the guests waiting for too long. Don't let others say that our Jiang family doesn't know how to entertain guests because of you."
"Second Miss, you..."
Jiang Li raised her hand to stop Bai Zhi who was about to argue for her and sneered, "Brother Qin?"
She walked up to Jiang Shengsheng with light steps and said, "Since you care about him so much, do you want this marriage?"
Not wanting to continue talking nonsense, Jiang Li glanced at Bai Zhi and walked out directly, "Let's go, don't keep the guests waiting for too long."
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Shengsheng frowned and stepped forward, "What are you trying to do now? Didn't you get enough of biting people like crazy yesterday? The Jiang family raised you for so many years, not to let you embarrass yourself as the eldest daughter!"
Jiang Li glanced at her without stopping, "Jiang Shengsheng, do you still remember that I am your elder sister?"
As Jiang Li digested the original owner's memories, she felt increasingly disheartened. The book only described her tragic end, but did not mention a single word about how she had no status at all in this family.
Jiang's father is busy with his business and ignores her. Her stepmother Zhou plays the role of a vicious stepmother to the extreme. And her half-sister, the darling of the original book, is the king of tea who looks sweet but is actually a vicious snake.
If the original owner's biological mother had not died to save Jiang's father when he was traveling for business, and Jiang's father was worried about being criticized, his stepmother Zhou would have killed her long ago.
"By the way, I heard that you often tell your sisters outside that I bully you? What would happen if I beat you up in front of your brother Qin today?"
Jiang Shengsheng was stunned.
It was indeed she who ruined Jiang Li's reputation, but so what?
In the past, whenever her face turned black, Jiang Li would try her best to coax her, otherwise her mother would always scold her for all sorts of trivial matters. It was common for her to be punished by being made to kneel in the ancestral hall and not being given food. Anyway, there was a reason for everything, and even her father could not find fault with it.
I didn't expect that she would dare to talk back at this moment. Could it be that her madness from yesterday has come back again, or did the tea bowl that Chunmei smashed her brain?
"I think you're crazy," Jiang Shengsheng grabbed Jiang Li's wrist, "Everyone here today is an honored guest. You'd better play your role as the eldest daughter well, otherwise..."
Jiang Shengsheng's eyes darkened, filled with malice, "You probably don't want to experience the punishment of family discipline again."
The scene of the original owner, covered in wounds, curled up in the corner of the ancestral hall, flashed through Jiang Li's mind. A cold smile appeared on Jiang Li's lips, like a blooming poppy. She flipped her wrist and patted Jiang Shengsheng's hand, which was tightly holding hers. "Don't worry, sister. I won't let you down."
