"Sister Miaomiao, are you telling the truth?"
After Zhou Man left, Wen Yanshan couldn't hide the curiosity on his face. Is Sister Manman really a genius in cultivation?
Shi Miao nodded slightly. "She's very talented. If she were to learn, she'd get twice the result with half the effort compared to an average person." Her luck was there, and her physique was better than an average person's. If she were to cultivate, she'd have fewer detours than others. Of course, Zhou Man wouldn't be willing to sacrifice her own life. Shi Miao knew this, so he deliberately offered to teach her.
Well, even this ancient secret technique for krypton life, if anyone wants to practice it, she can also teach it. However, because of her powerful soul, she can't die no matter how much she sacrifices her life force, but others may not be able to die.
As the saying goes, one man's meat is another man's poison.
Before Zhou Man left, she didn't take the two pieces of jewelry she had brought with her. When Wen Yanshan saw this, a hint of annoyance appeared on his face. How could Sister Manman give Sister Miaomiao jewelry that she herself didn't like?
Even though she herself didn't know it, she had indeed taken over the happy life that should have belonged to Sister Miaomiao. Thinking of this, she felt even more sorry for her cousin Shi Miao. She took her hand and said, "Come on, Sister Miaomiao, my mom said she wants to customize some beautiful jewelry for the two of us. Let's go together and choose the styles we like."
Shi Miao was okay with the jewelry, but since this was a good intention from her cousin and aunt, she didn't refuse.
She was thinking that once she had more money, she would go to Province Y to buy some jade and use the spiritual energy in it to practice.
…
When Zhou Man returned home, she was still a little angry.
She actually walked away dejectedly in front of Shi Miao like a loser. Even more heartbreaking was that she discovered that her aunt and cousin treated Shi Miao more affectionately than her, even though they were the closest relatives.
However, when her mother asked her about it, she had to pretend nothing had happened and keep the peace.
The news that the Wen family was going to hold a welcome party for Shi Miao at Siqing Garden spread throughout the upper class, and all the wealthy families, both first- and second-tier, received invitations, which showed that the Wen family was taking this matter very seriously. The wealthy families, who had previously been indifferent to Shi Miao's presence, also hurried to inquire about his preferences, hoping to use this opportunity to befriend the Wen family.
Zhou Man was also bombarded with messages from friends in the circle.
[Manman, are you going to have another sister? ]
[I heard that your uncle's family plans to use Siqing Garden to hold a banquet. I remember that the garden was reserved for your birthday party, right?]
"Your eldest aunt even used her connections to invite Aisha Lin back to style her. Your two aunts were really too devoted to her. Was Miao really not a legitimate daughter of the Wen family at that time?"
Aisha Lin is currently the most sought-after designer abroad, and is particularly good at designing elegant dresses. I thought it was just my younger aunt who was overly enthusiastic, but I didn't expect that even my older aunt would be so caring towards Shi Miao.
Her coming-of-age ceremony had just passed, and if even hers was outshined by Shi Miao's banquet, wouldn't her title as the most famous socialite in S City be trampled underfoot? If it had been anyone else, it would have been fine, but it had to be Shi Miao, who clearly had ill intentions towards her.
The feeling of grievance was like a river flowing back, making her eyes misty. Tears fell one by one like pearls. She lay on the bed and sobbed. Because she was crying so hard, Zhou Man didn't even notice when the door opened.
"Manman, why are you crying? Who bullied you? Tell me and I'll take care of it for you!"
When Zhou Yuntang, the eldest son of the Zhou family, opened the door and saw his precious sister crying bitterly, his heart was tied into a ball and he looked like he was ready to charge into battle for her at any time.
Zhou Man wiped her tears. Her nose was red from crying and she looked pitiful. "No one bullies me. Everyone loves me very much."
"You won't tell the truth to Big Brother?"
Zhou Man pursed her lips, her voice tinged with tears, "Brother, are my uncle and the others blaming me? They say they don't care, but they definitely blame me in their hearts for almost killing Yan Zi."
She thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out the reason why her uncle and the others had changed their attitude towards her, so she guessed that it was because of Yan Zi's matter.
"I really didn't expect Yanzi to encounter this. I was wrong. I shouldn't have called Yanzi's driver away. I was too selfish. I didn't expect that to happen." Zhou Man's voice was a little aggrieved when she talked about this. She was dressed up beautifully at the time, and the driver had something urgent to do. She didn't think too much about it and called her cousin. Who knew that her cousin had such bad luck and happened to meet a suspect with bad intentions. Besides, isn't her cousin fine? Zhou Man couldn't help but wonder if her aunt was behind the recognition of her relatives, just to save her face.
Wasn't it enough that she had been servile to her cousin and aunt recently? She had never been so humble in her life.
Zhou Yuntang hugged his sister, feeling her delicate body trembling in his arms because of fear and sadness. He couldn't help but hug her tighter, letting himself be surrounded by the fragrance of his sister.
"You're not wrong! If Yan Zi really got into trouble, it was because she was too careless. She's fifteen years old, not a child anymore, and she's still so stupid."
These days, Manman has been under much more pressure than her cousin. She has even had nightmares for several days. Zhou Yuntang has seen his sister crying several times, which makes him feel heartbroken.
If my aunt and cousin hold a grudge against me for this, it only shows that they are narrow-minded and have let down my sister and the friendship they have had for so many years.
Zhou Man showed a hesitant expression, unsure whether to tell her elder brother about this.
