“Huh, that’s strange…” The bunch of rich kids shook their heads and only thought that they just had too much to drink, looking at the thin silhouette walk further and further away.

 To not be able to get to know such a beauty was quite a shame.

 Gu Xijin gripped on the wine cup until her knuckles became white as she looked at their collective expressions of disappointment. The day Gu Xiqiao was accepted into their family, she already knew that this illegitimate younger sister of hers would be trouble. That being said, she only had a pretty face, and in this world, people like her could only become playthings.

 After thinking of this, Gu Xijin’s loosened her grip on the cup, but the frost in her dark gaze remained.

 The young woman next to her couldn’t help making comments on the situation. “Xijin, you’re being too nice to that so-called younger sister of yours! Look at that vixen, who knows what Grandpa Gu thought when he brought her back…”

 Gu Xiqiao’s origins weren’t a secret, and a lot of the people that were at the party today knew about it. She was the daughter of a porn star and was raised in the countryside. She seemed like a country bumpkin who hadn’t even learned the basics of the four arts—Music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

 “There’s nothing to be afraid of anyway, she’s just a stupid girl from the countryside. We’re going to let her know that N City is completely different than that ditch she came out of!” The young woman continued.

 “…”

 Yes, N City was completely different from what she imagined, and she had already learned that at the cost of her life. Gu Xiqiao smirked and looked back at the grand building with a mocking gaze, and the building was plunged into chaos.

 “Xijin, what’s wrong with your clothes!”

 “Ahhh!!!” A piercing scream rang out from inside of the room.

 Gu Xiqiao stretched lazily and walked away with a cold expression. Making clothes tear telepathically was quite a handy skill to have if she said so herself.

 The servants that saw her knew that the family had accepted an illegitimate daughter, and this young girl didn’t seem to even have any gratitude toward them. She was either gloomy or depressed every day like her pet died! They stared at her with disgusted gazes as they quickly made their way into the room.

 How would they understand the difficulty of a child that appeared suddenly in a place that she didn’t belong at, and under the deliberate rejection of the family and having to deal with death threats all day, how strong would she have to be to maintain a sense of morality and survive?

 Gu Xiqiao didn’t really mind the habit of the servants that sucked up to Gu Xijin and stepped on her because she was already used to it.

 And so, she calmly left the suffocating building.

 But still, it was unbelievable that she came back to this point in time when she first arrived at the Gu family, back when she was eighteen years old.

Gu Xiqiao stopped in her steps and raised her hands without being able to wait any further, and looking at her beautiful and slightly callused hands. She was so ecstatic that her hands had been returned to their original state that she started chuckling softly. Not everyone was this lucky, after all.

 Suddenly, a piercingly bright ray of light shone in her direction.
