Chapter 5 A Family Of Wolves

  • Yixi and Jianguo ran as if they had seen a ghost.
  • They breathed a sigh of relief only after they were sure they had escaped from Futingshen's sight.
  • At the entrance of the private room, a cool female voice came from behind, "Just a minor role, does he really think he's a top star? Wearing sunglasses."
  • Yixi turned around when she heard the voice and saw her half-sister, Yi Anran.
  • Yi Anran's lips curled slightly, "Long time no see, sister. Why are you still dressed so poorly?"
  • Yixi lazily smiled, "It's best if we never see each other again."
  • Yi Anran raised an eyebrow, "That might be difficult. Jin Zhe invited me to dinner tonight, and in the future, we'll definitely have more opportunities to meet."
  • Yixi's expression instantly turned ugly. How did Li Jinzhe and Yi Anran know each other? She had no idea.
  • Yang Pei and Li Jinzhe arrived together, and Yang Pei's smile towards Yi Anran was unusually enthusiastic.
  • Yixi had never seen such a smile from Yang Pei before.
  • Yi Anran noticed their increasingly warm smiles and her voice became even softer, "Jin Zhe, I was just talking with my sister. It seems like she's not very happy about me coming today. Should I leave? I don't want to disturb you."
  • Li Jinzhe looked at Yi Anran with tender eyes, as if they were filled with affection, "Why would that be? This meal tonight is also an opportunity for you to get to know my family. They will definitely like you..."
  • Yixi's face turned pale, and she angrily questioned Li Jinzhe in front of everyone, "Li Jinzhe, do you know what you're doing? When did you become so close to her? Why wasn't I informed?"
  • Li Jinzhe had always been aware that Yixi's family was a sensitive topic for her, something she didn't like to discuss.
  • He calmly explained, "Isn't your sister also my sister? Is there a problem with that? Today, all our relatives are here. Yixi, let's not make a scene."
  • Yixi angrily called out Li Jinzhe's name.
  • Li Jinzhe impatiently glanced at her, "Just enjoy the meal. I'm not feeling well, and if you make me angry again, you'll be the one suffering."
  • Li Jinzhe pushed open the door of the private room and let them in.
  • Yi Anran's lips curved into a faint, mocking smile as she followed behind.
  • After everyone entered, she whispered in Yixi's ear, "Sorry, I took your things again! Yixi, you always complain about living such a miserable life, always living in my shadow. I'm not interested in your boyfriend, I'm just playing around."
  • Yixi trembled with anger, glaring at Yi Anran.
  • Her mind went blank, and she couldn't think anymore.
  • Yi Anran sneered, "You found a loser and treated him like a treasure. This is your fate. Look at how your boyfriend grovels before me, I feel embarrassed for you."
  • "You..." Yixi couldn't find the words to express her anger.
  • Inside the private room, Yi Anran naturally surrounded herself with the Lee family and sat in the center.
  • They all knew that Yi Anran was the precious pearl in the hands of the wealthy Yitian Luo in the city.
  • Yi Anran acted obedient and gentle, greeting the Lee family warmly.
  • Yixi stood at the entrance of the private room, without anyone inviting her to sit down.
  • "Sister, why don't you sit?" Yi Anran waved at Yixi, pointing to the empty seat beside her.
  • Li Jinzhe glanced at Yixi with annoyance, "She hasn't experienced much of the world. It's her first time dining in such a high-end hotel. She's too embarrassed to come in."
  • Yixi looked at Li Jinzhe's current expression, and she still couldn't believe that all of this was really happening.
  • She suppressed the impending emotional breakdown, not wanting to appear hysterical and disheveled in front of others.
  • She entered through the door and sat next to Yi Anran.
  • "Anran is really beautiful." Yang Pei looked at Yi Anran and liked her more and more.
  • After all, she was a rich man's daughter.
  • Look at Yixi, she looks so gloomy, no wonder her son got sick, it must be because of her.
  • The relatives of the Lee family were also very enthusiastic towards Yi Anran, constantly complimenting her.
  • They completely forgot about Yixi's existence, as if she had become an outsider.
  • Li Jinzhe's sister looked at the bracelet on Yi Anran's wrist with envy, "Sister, this bracelet is so beautiful, it must be expensive."
  • Yi Anran generously took off the bracelet and put it on Li Jinzhe's sister's wrist.
  • His sister was thrilled and couldn't help but sneer, "Yixi, the hair tie on your wrist is about to break. Spend some money and buy a new one."
  • Yixi propped up her face, glanced at her, and smiled faintly, "I don't have the money for that. I've spent it all on your brother's medical treatment."
  • As soon as Yixi spoke, the entire private room fell silent.
  • Li Jinzhe's face turned as dark as a pot.
  • Yang Pei defended her son, saying, "Do you still feel wronged? With your background, do you think there is any good family that would want you besides ours? My son took pity on you... We didn't force you to take money, you willingly gave it."
  • Yi Anran looked at Yi Xi with a contented expression and smiled sweetly.
  • Yi Xi's heart ached as the hurtful words shattered her.
  • This family was ungrateful.
  • Her eyes reddened slightly, but she didn't cry. They just glistened with unshed tears.
  • She suppressed her emotions and smiled, saying, "You're right, because of my humble background and being all alone, I am subjected to your bullying. It's one thing if you treat me like a stranger, but you even bite the hand that feeds you."
  • Li Jinzhe felt his dignity as a man being trampled on by Yi Xi.
  • She seemed to constantly remind him that she was his savior.
  • Li Jinzhe sneered, "Yi Xi, are you trying to ruin everyone's appetite? Your petty and narrow-minded behavior is disgusting."
  • "Yeah, why is Yi Xi like this? She didn't pay for Li Jinzhe's surgery, yet she has the audacity to say such things."
  • "Li Jinzhe has already been good to her, she should be grateful."
  • "People can't be compared. Look at Yi Anran, the difference between the two sisters is so vast."
  • The relatives of the Li family criticized Yi Xi one after another.
  • Yi Xi desired to overturn the table, but it was too large for her to move.
  • She yearned to slap Li Jinzhe, but before her hand could make contact, Li Jinzhe splashed her with alcohol, remarking, "Wake up and cease causing trouble."
  • Yi Anran initially found this gratifying scene admirable, but her interest quickly diminished.
  • When playing with her boyfriend, there was no sense of challenge whatsoever.
  • The door to the private room swung open as a young waiter entered, balancing a tray with one hand.
  • Li Jinzhe caught sight of the high-quality wine on the tray and nervously swallowed, stating, "We did not order this wine."
  • Li Jinzhe had previously encountered the premium wine. One bottle cost tens of thousands, which exceeded his financial means.
  • The waiter kindly smiled and said, "Hello, sir. This wine is Mr. Fu's treat for Miss Yi Xi."
  • Yi Xi was taken aback, Fu Tingshen?
  • The waiter placed the wine on the table and added, "Mr. Fu has already paid for this table. Miss Yi Xi, please enjoy."
