Chapter 166: Slap in the Face(1)_1
So, only a fatal blow delivered at an event like this would ensure that Shangguan You would disappear from her sight forever, never again drawing the attention of Young Master Han and Young Master Lan. That’s why she suddenly yelled out in anger in such a setting.
No one could accept being stepped on over and over again, especially by someone inferior in every way. Why should such a person trample over her? That’s why Shen Jia suddenly lashed out, bringing up Shangguan You’s past embarrassments. With that move, she successfully attracted everyone’s attention, pushing Shangguan You into the spotlight and once again ruining her desire to keep a low profile.
Shangguan You let out a cold laugh and pulled the angry Shangguan Qing to sit down. She insisted she could handle her own affairs without anyone’s help. Since this was what Shen Jia hoped to see, she would naturally grant her wish. She admitted that since her rebirth, she had acquired a space and obtained some things that were coveted by others. She had become more discreet and mysterious because she didn’t want to be known or attract unnecessary attention.
But now that someone had provoked her on her own turf, she naturally wouldn’t hold back. Some people would never recognize their place unless they were taught a harsh lesson.
There’s a limit to tolerance; beyond it, one should not endure.
However, with someone like Shen Jia, currently irrational with jealousy, there was no need to reason. Sometimes, facts spoke for themselves; placed before everyone, all lies would crumble on their own.
Arguing was likewise ineffective. Such demeaning behavior was beneath her dignity, and she had no wish to stoop to that level.
If a mad dog bites you, would you bite it back out of spite and risk contracting rabies? The answer is no.
Shen Cheng’s brow furrowed deeply. In such a setting, Shen Jia was being too reckless with their family’s reputation. Even if her goal was to embarrass Shangguan You, there was no need to be so direct and offend them in such a manner. Besides, her voice was too loud, drawing everyone’s attention.
Wanqian’s expression was equally troubled. Duan Mei was gripping Shen Jia’s hand tightly, urging her to sit down and stop being the center of attention—it was too shameful. And there was no need for Shen Jia to be so ruthless.
