“It’s not that I’ve changed; rather, my identity and standing are now different. I like who I am today. This is what makes everyone in the clan like me.” Ruan Ruyun said. “You will help me, right? You’ve helped me in the past and you can help me again.”
Feng Jiu shook her head. “I cannot and do not wish to help you. Please leave!” Instead of looking at her, she drank the wine. She intended to leave after the banquet and after giving the beautiful woman a birthday gift.
Ruan Ruyun stepped forward abruptly. “No, you can help me! All you have to do is accompany me to the Ruan Manor. Wouldn’t it be better to go to our Ruan’s Manor instead of being the head steward of their Xie family?”
Feng Jiu was preoccupied with her food and completely ignored her. The silver wolf, who was lying in a courtyard corner, watched the scene with a ferocious look.
This human was so brazen as to speak to its master in this manner.
“If you don’t leave, I’ll send someone to escort you out. At that point, I’m afraid you will lose face.” Feng Jiu muttered, shaking her head secretly. People’s hearts are fickle and insatiable.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Ruyun’s expression changed. She was a little agitated and her eyes turned hostile. “Why won’t you help me?” She demanded, her voice shrill and angry. “It’s obvious that you can help me. You should help me!”
She suddenly screamed harshly out of anger and agitation, which made Feng Jiu stop and look at her in shock. It’s normal for her to be fickle. But, how could her mentality get so twisted and abnormal? Could someone change so much in just a few days?
Could it be said that her low self-esteem and depression were only one side of her character, but what she revealed now was her true self? Now that she had the clan’s protection and the Patriarch’s special treatment, her other side began to emerge gradually?
What made her even more perplexed was that she was staring at her with an enigmatic smile. She suddenly reached out and ripped her own dress.
As the ripping sound continued, the high-quality fabric was torn apart, destroying the brand-new dress.
Ruan Ruyun smiled gently at Feng Jiu, who looked at her with astonishment and perplexity. “Even though you are the head steward, you are still a servant. Say, what will happen if they saw you tear up my dress and intend to harm me?”
As she spoke, she loosened her upper garment, tore off one of her sleeves to reveal snow-white skin, and messed up her coiled hair. She finally smiled with satisfaction after taking a good look at herself.
“Doesn’t it look convincing? The last time I was home, I saw my Third Sister frame a person she didn’t like. That person refused to listen to her and eventually had his legs broken and thrown out of the city.”
She added, glancing at Feng Jiu with an innocent look. “You are so smart but you refuse to use it to help me. You also refuse to join my Ruan family, so I can only come up with this solution. I believe that as soon as I call for help, all the people at the front will rush over. You bullied me and took advantage of me. My family will not let this matter go. Brother Little Jiu, would you agree?”
Feng Jiu looked at her strangely. She was now certain that the girl’s mental state was seriously twisted.
