Chapter 2: Prologue_2
Li Si straightened her back abruptly upon hearing the content of the voice. She turned around to look at the so-called "perfect couple" in front of her. The woman was wearing a pink haute couture evening gown from the C Family, her tall and curvaceous figure perfectly accentuated by the dress. She looked stunning, with her hair styled in an elegant updo adorned with sparkling diamond clips. Her delicate facial features appeared even more captivating under the crystal chandelier's light. The man, handsome and dressed in a tailored light gray Italian suit, cast a complicated gaze at Li Si.
"Li Si, I..."
Before he could finish, Li Fei interrupted in an exaggerated tone.
"Sis, this glass of wine is a gesture from Zijun and me to you. Let's let bygones be bygones, okay? From today onward, we're family. And as family, why draw lines between us, right? I know you might still have feelings for Zijun, but he's my man now. As the older sister, shouldn't you set an example and give way to your younger sister? Okay? As for what happened before, I won't hold it against you. Who hasn't been blinded by love at some point?"
Li Fei's smug expression flashed briefly before she resumed her pitiful, wide-eyed look as she held the wine glass.
Bai Shasha, standing to the side, was beside herself with anger. Damn it. If this isn't intolerable, what is? If even uncles could endure this, the aunts couldn't! This was shameless beyond belief—snatching someone's boyfriend and then acting high and mighty by asking the sister to give in? What the hell, are you insane?!
Li Si furrowed her brows, feeling extremely uncomfortable at Li Fei's words. She was just about to speak up when Bai Shasha beat her to it.
"Li Fei, are you drunk or something? Talking such nonsense! You of all people know very well what went on between you and Zijun. Stop playing the victim, will you? Meng Zijun used to be Li Si's boyfriend. It was you who played the third wheel and stole him—how do you even have the face to stand here and yap on like this?"
Li Si tugged at Bai Shasha's sleeve, signaling her to stop. Many of their former classmates were watching them, and making a scene wouldn't look good for anyone.
