The Reborn Aristocrat’s Daughter

"Xiao Xue, this isn’t Province C, please be a little more careful with what you say; some things can’t be mentioned carelessly," the boy called Brother by the girl furrowed his brows and admonished the girl beside him. His sister had been spoiled by their family, and back in Province C, their Liu Family could quite literally walk sideways without issue, and his sister was always held and pampered by everyone, which is why she developed the personality she has now.

But they were in the Capital City, where the Liu Family amounted to nothing. Therefore, before attending Old Master Yu’s birthday banquet, his grandfather had specifically reminded him to keep an eye on his sister and not to create a fuss at the banquet or offend anyone.

"What do I need to be careful about? I haven’t said anything," Liu Qianxue retorted, but the look she gave Situ Xin was filled with malice.

"Xiao Xue, let’s go over there and say hello as well," Liu Zhengyang remembered what his grandfather had said, about building good relationships with everyone at Old Master Yu’s birthday banquet. Seeing that everyone was heading over to Situ Xin’s group, he also stood up, calling his sister to go and greet others.

However, Liu Zhengyang’s sister ungraciously remained seated with her arms crossed, "Hmph, I don’t see why I should go over to greet her. Why doesn’t she come over to greet me?" Liu Zhengyang looked helplessly at his sister, who still didn’t understand her place, and shook his head. He knew trying to reason with her was futile at the moment, so he said to her, "Xiao Xue, just sit here and don’t wander off. I’ll go say hello and come right back."

With that said, Liu Zhengyang walked towards Situ Xin and the group.

After Liu Zhengyang left, Liu Qianxue felt extremely uncomfortable and mumbled to herself, "Just because she’s a bit prettier, why does everyone flock to her? My brother even wants me to go greet her. Why should I? And Brother Qihao, Auntie always says he should take good care of me, but the moment that girl shows up, they just leave me behind. It’s too much."

While Liu Qianxue was grumbling, a girl came over and sat next to her, saying, "You don’t like that Situ Xin either, right? I can’t stand her; she thinks she’s someone important, believes she’s a real Princess that everyone should revolve around."

Liu Qianxue, caught up in her own complaints, didn’t expect someone to sit down and agree with her. "Why do you hate this girl?"

"Because that Situ Xin took away all my happiness; my mother died because of her. And my grandfather and father, because of her, they hate me and neglect me. You don’t know, at home, even the servants dare to bully me." The one who had come over to speak with Liu Qianxue was Zhang Siya. She had arrived at the banquet hall earlier, but since she was not favored by her grandfather and father, everyone knew about it, and so she usually sat alone on the side. Today, when she saw that Situ Xin, who normally never appeared at such gatherings, showed up, she couldn’t keep the resentment in her heart from spilling out.
