It was better than crying and wailing to win the sympathy of others.
Look! She was already pitiful enough to be roaming for so many years. Now that she had found her biological parents, she still had to be cautious and be bullied by her biological sister.
“That is the newly found daughter of the Song Family, right?”
“Tsk tsk…I thought the Song Family’s eldest daughter had a good personality. I didn’t expect her to have such a bad temper!”
“That girl is too pitiful. Look, she’s too scared to cry even though she wants to. If she can be treated like this in public, I wonder how badly she must be bullied in private!”
“I heard that the living conditions for that girl wasn’t so good in the past. That’s why, in this new environment, she’s afraid that she would be abandoned again if she makes one wrong move. That’s probably why she’s too scared to cry. She’s working hard to please everyone, right?”
“Sigh, she’s so cautious that it makes my heart ache!”
“Where is the Song couple?”
As they were talking, Song Rui and Zhou Manli heard the news and quickly squeezed through the crowd and walked in.
Before he could say anything, Zhou Manli had already cried out in shock.
“Oh my God! Weiwei! What’s going on?”
She quickly walked over and pulled Song Weiwei into her arms. She wiped her face with a handkerchief, feeling sorry for her. “Who did this?”
As soon as Song Weiwei leaned into Zhou Manli’s arms, her tears immediately fell and she looked at Song Jingwan timidly.
Song Jingwan was so angry that she laughed and gritted her teeth. “Mom! It wasn’t me…”
“Slap!”
A loud slap sounded as if a pause button had been pressed.
The entire banquet hall fell silent.
Song Jingwan covered her face in disbelief. “Mom, did you hit me because of her?”
Ever since she was young, Zhou Manli had never laid a single finger on her. Even Song Wenchuan could not compare to her status in Zhou Manli’s heart.
Yet now, she was being hit, not because she had made a mistake, but because of Song Weiwei’s trick!
“I…”
Zhou Manli regretted it after hitting her. Looking at the marks on Song Jingwan’s small face that were rapidly swelling up, she turned away guiltily.
“What did I teach you before coming here? I told you to take good care of your sister, but this is how you take care of her? Jingwan, you’re meant to be the older sister!”
“But I didn’t splash the wine on her! She did it to herself on purpose!”
At first, Zhou Manli was still feeling heartache, but when she realized that Song Jingwan had reached the point where she was stubbornly refusing to come to her senses, her heartache disappeared. She sneered and looked at Song Jingwan. “You’re still trying to deny it even now. Did she do it on purpose, or are you putting on an act in front of me? What’s wrong with you, child? You were clearly not like this in the past!”
“You weren’t like this in the past either! Why has everything changed since she came? Is she the only one in your eyes? Does it matter no matter what happens to me?”
Song Jingwan’s hands were clenched tightly by her side as anger lingered in her eyes.
Song Rui felt a splitting headache. He rubbed the space between his eyebrows, and before Song Jingwan lost control, he quickly stepped forward and pressed on her shoulder.
“Jingwan…”
“If that’s the case, then I’ll leave!”
Song Jingwan did not give Song Rui a chance to speak. She pushed his hand away, turned around, and squeezed through the crowd, wiping her tears as she quickly left.
However, her words caused endless contemplation.
In fact, all of them more or less knew that Zhou Manli was biased. The elder daughter was too outstanding, and the light from her body covered the younger daughter that was not obvious. As a result, no one had much of an impression of Song Yaoyao.
They did not even know what she looked like.
And now, Zhou Manli’s bias had fallen on the newly found daughter. Naturally, she ignored the elder daughter’s feelings.
