"Pak!" A slap sounded clearly and the noise echoed over the banquet. Mu Rulan felt her cheek was in so much pain that it started to become numb, the rusty taste of blood filling up her entire mouth.


The onlookers did not show any sympathy for Mu Rulan. Dressed in magnificent dresses, elegant makeup, and holding delicate flutes of red wine champagne, hints of ridicule could be seen on various faces throughout the banquet.

"Say that again!" Mu Zhenyang was trembling with anger, nearly blinded by his wrath. Anyone not in the know must have thought that Mu Rulan was his sworn enemy, rather than his own blood-related daughter.

Mu Rulan was wearing her school uniform, a stain of red wine splattered down the front. She stubbornly tried to keep her back straight, trying to stand tall like a silver birch. Her eyes were shining and bright, her gaze obstinate as she clamped her fists tightly: "I'm not wrong!"

"You...!"

"Father... no, Uncle Mu, it's my fault! Don't blame sister, it's my fault for overestimating myself..." Bai Suqing said weakly, as she shook her head to emphasize a deep handprint on her innocent face. Even her sooty black hair couldn't hide the mark. Mu Zhenyang noticed the handprint immediately, more anger roaring up in his heart. He didn't hold back at all as he slapped Mu Rulan's face with all his strength. The hit was so hard that Mu Rulan fell to the ground.

At such a large, public occasion, he really held nothing back. This was her father, who slapped his own daughter twice because of an outsider.

Mu Rulan sat on the ground and chuckled lowly to herself, but her vision was blurring as her eyes teared up.

She felt wronged. Bai Suqing had only arrived just half a year earlier, but she had stolen her parents, her little brothers, and even her beloved.

She always thought that maybe she really had done something wrong, but that changed when Bai Suqing personally acknowledged that she had planned all these things.

At the time Mu Rulan had stupidly thought that she finally had a little sister to be fond of, to spoil, to dote on... But it seems like her sister had schemed mercilessly to get rid of her instead, watching her get raped by school hooligans, then acting like a kind person trying to comfort her to earn her trust.

However, Bai Suqing had posted the video of the incident on the internet the next day to embarrass her, and even her fiancé's family professed disgust at Mu Rulan's filthiness...

She had tried to explain the situation to her friends, parents and younger brothers, but all she'd received in return were their cold stares and their ridicule. They said to her: Mu Rulan, despicable people get their just desserts. Suqing treated you so well, but instead you spread such ruthless rumors about her. No wonder this happened to you, it must be God punishing you! Serves you right!

Yeah, it served her right... Served her right for not being able to see through Bai Suqing earlier. She had been stubborn ever since she was young, and couldn't accept being betrayed and forsaken by all her friends and family. After her first few desperate attempts to explain, nobody would believe her. She started to become distant and disdained those around her; she had lost it all but would not let Bai Suqing take her pride. She believe in this saying: Those who had you in their heart don't need your explanations, and those who don't have you in their heart don't believe in any explanations.

Since they didn't believe her, she would just throw them out of her heart. She was still stubborn and prideful. Even if she couldn't fight against a despicable weasel, she could hide herself from it. Her parents and brothers that could be stolen away, she disdained to retain them. Her beloved boyfriend and her friends that could be taken away, she disdained to keep them. But she had never expected that this black-hearted lotus didn't want to leave her with her life.
