Chapter 226 - 218: The Bloody Incident Sparked by Spring Rolls
Looking at Tian Lili, who bore a striking resemblance to Xu Jingwen, Tian Sisi let out a deep sigh. Is life even worth living if you can’t even peacefully enjoy a few spring rolls?
She took several deep breaths to calm the agitation inside her heart and said with a smile, "I’m eating spring rolls. Does Sister Lili want to have some?"
After saying that, Tian Sisi handed over her plate to Tian Lili, reluctantly eyeing the spring rolls left on it—damn it, she’d only had one!
In reality, Tian Lili was nothing more than a little girl spoiled by adults. Tian Aiguo was somewhat chauvinistic, adhering to the principle that he’d handle the boys while Xu Qianwen was in charge of the girls’ upbringing. As a result, Tian Lili ended up being raised improperly by Xu Qianwen.
From a young age, Xu Qianwen would instill in Tian Lili’s ears: "You are the genuine granddaughter of the Tian Family. That Tian Zhaodi is just an orphan girl picked up from nowhere, unworthy even of washing your feet."
Yet reality dealt Tian Lili a hard blow. Grandpa and Granny showed more fondness for that foot-washing maid than for her. The entire household pampered Tian Zhaodi to the point she was treated like a Princess, wearing finer clothes and eating better than her!
Greatly upset, Tian Lili couldn’t make sense of it and sought Xu Qianwen for answers, to which Xu Jingwen responded, "That little orphan girl has stolen things that should belong to our Lili. Your grandparents have lost their minds!"
From then on, Tian Lili began to despise Tian Sisi, picking on her at every opportunity, and feeling uneasy until she confiscated whatever nice things Tian Sisi had. That’s why, whenever Tian Lili returned home for the New Year, Tian Sisi’s wardrobe would inevitably be short a few pieces.
The original protagonist was gullible and could be easily swayed by a few sweet words from Xu Qianwen, who would willingly hand over the items that Tian Lili fancied. Although the current Tian Sisi was no pushover, she also didn’t want to argue with Tian Lili over a few pieces of clothing and upset Old Man Granny Zhao. As long as it wasn’t too excessive, she generally didn’t make a fuss with Tian Lili, which fueled Tian Lili’s mistaken belief that Tian Sisi was afraid of her, leading to even more frequent quarrels.
When Tian Lili saw that Tian Sisi handed over the spring rolls, her expression improved a lot. Humph, at least you know your place! She reached out to take the plate, grabbed a spring roll, and began to eat with relish.
