07. Insult

Shen Ji still lowered her head with incomparable feelings of shame. I don't know what the color on his face is now, and what is clear is that his body is starting to shake.

Shen Ji really regretted coming to this hell. She wanted to dive into the deepest depths of the ocean to get rid of her shame.

She glanced at Shi Qian who was sitting very gracefully. Her hands were clasped together in her lap. The second lady of the Shi family wore a pale light green chiffon hanfu, part of her hair was tied in a bun decorated with a cai in the shape of a tiny white flower, making her look even more beautiful.

Shen Ji became increasingly insecure and very embarrassed. She really regretted attending the banquet which was just the most painful place on this earth.

"Shen Xu, I didn't expect you to have such a twin sister. Could it be that you have been unfair to her. You took all the beauty and left only ugliness for her," said Xiao Si Tian as he threw orange peel at Shen Ji.

The orange peel hit Shen Ji's cheek and made the girl wince in pain because the stinging sensation hit her face. Apparently, heavy make-up still can't protect the itching on her face properly.

"Aaaah!" Shen Ji groaned in pain as dhe held her face with both big hands.

"Shen Xu, look! Just like that, she's screaming like he's going to die. You're weak!" Xiao Si Tian sneered.

Shen Xu became furious, She got up from his seat and stepped towards Shen Ji hastily. "Ji'er, didn't I tell you from the start? You don't have to come to this banquet, it'll just embarrass me!"

"But, Sis. I don't want to disappoint mom and dad." Shen Ji answered in a hushed tone.

"But you saw for yourself in the end, right?" Shen Xu asked with her hands on her hips with a red face.

"Yes, Sis. I ... I understand," answered Shen Ji while massaging her own palms which were wet with cold sweat.

"Ji'er, get out of here quickly! You're just embarrassing me!" Shen Xu approached her sister and with her tiny feet wearing red shoes, the girl kicked Shen Ji on the back. The fat girl fell and fell onto the food and drinks on the table.

Shen Ji's face was now covered in vegetable soup.

"Older Sister!" Shen Ji shouted loudly while holding back the pain in her eyes.

Shen Xu seemed to be smiling with satisfaction and still had his hands on her hips with a haughty face, but that was not enough for Shen Xu to vent her frustration. The beautiful girl pushed her sister to the side again and made her roll over once again.

Shen Ji felt very insulted by the actions of her older sister who hated her so much. Shen Ji asked while crying bitterly. "Brother, why are you so heartless with me? What did I do wrong to you, Sis?"

"Your fault?" Shen Xu squatted beside Shen Ji's face. "Your fault is, why were you born after me? Until you were the one betrothed to him!"

"I'm not asking for all that either, Sis! If you like him. Then, take him! But don't embarrass me here. Can't you say it at home? And not in a public place like this." Shen Ji said with tears in her eyes, causing her makeup to start to fade.

"Do you think, if I say it at home, mom and dad will agree?" Shen Xu asked in a sharp tone.

"Then, with this method, will father and mother approve?" Shen Ji asked while sobbing.

"Shut up, Ji'er!" Shen Xu slapped his sister with a ceramic plate dhe had just taken.

"Aaaahh!" Shen Ji screamed in pain. The girl's face suddenly turned red from the impact of the plate that hit her. Fresh blood flowed from Shen Ji's nose.

The young people who witnessed it burst out laughing at the incident. They felt like they were watching a very interesting show.

Yes! Two twin sisters who were as different as ice jade and mountain stone were fighting until the older brother injured his younger sibling.

From a distance, a young man watched the ladies' treatment of Shen Ji, while another handsome young man remained silent without paying the slightest attention to the ladies who were belittling his future wife.

"Zhen'er, look! Your future wife is being made fun ofDon't you want to defend and save him?" Yu Ling asked while nudging Yu Zhen's arm, her younger brother, with her elbow.

"Mmhh." Yu Zhen muttered small and flatly.

Yu Ling glared, pointing towards the commotion. "What is that, mmhh? Look! Your goddess, your beloved fat angel is being cornered...."

"Shut up, Brother! You're just like them!" Yu Zhen snapped at his brother.

"You!" Yu Ling felt that his brother was getting bolder towards him. The young man glared at Yu Zhen. "Hey, Stinky Boy, I was telling you, but you're being rude to your handsome brother, aren't you?"

"How insolent? Brother just indirectly mocked she too, didn't she?" Yu Zhen of course didn't want to lose to Yu Ling. "How is Brother Ling different from them?"

"Of course I'm different. At least I can still keep my mouth shut and not behave badly like them." Yu Ling casually drank his wine again.

Yu Zhen irritably hit the tea cup he was holding onto the table. "Nonsense!"

"You!"
