When Chu Xinyue came out after changing her clothes, Ji Fei wanted to say something but didn't know how to begin.

Having just learned about Chu Xinyue's experiences through the Gossip System, Ji Fei felt a lump in her throat.

Ji Fei had grown up without a family and thought her life was miserable, but she never imagined that Chu Xinyue, who had both parents and came from a wealthy family, would live a life even more painful than her own as an orphan.

Though they were twins, just because Chu Xueqi was born weak and sickly, the Chu couple had to take their child abroad for treatment and recovery.

Chu Xinyue was also brought along, but the couple had limited energy and devoted all their attention to Chu Xueqi, who was often in critical condition.

Several times they completely forgot about Chu Xinyue, and although she was cared for by servants, it inevitably led to various problems, big and small.

At that time, the family matriarch was Chu's Grandma. When she heard that her eldest granddaughter was being neglected like this, she immediately decided to bring the child back and raise her personally.

So Chu Xinyue left her parents at a young age and was raised by Chu's Grandma, naturally becoming distant from her parents.

Chu Xueqi, on the other hand, received abundant love from childhood, even to the point of being spoiled. With her sister rarely around, she grew accustomed to having everything to herself.

When her health improved and she was brought back home, she couldn't tolerate someone who looked like her clone taking away what belonged to her.

And so began Chu Xinyue's tragic life.

It seemed that since that family of three returned, Chu Xinyue had never truly smiled at home. The fact that she didn't become depressed was a testament to her inner strength, as she immersed herself in study and research.

The two of them went downstairs together.

Ji Fei couldn't help but ask, "Are you really determined to break off the engagement with Qin Zhao?"

According to the gossip provided by the system, Chu Xinyue had had Qin Zhao in her eyes and heart since she was five years old.

Although Ji Fei couldn't understand what was so great about that arrogant guy.

But this time, Chu Xinyue nodded without hesitation.

She had given up.

Ji Fei thought for a moment and said, "That's good. He doesn't deserve you. You're so outstanding, you'll be happier if you break away from these awful people."

Chu Xinyue was startled and looked at Ji Fei in surprise. She hadn't expected Ji Fei to hit the nail on the head.

Not just Qin Zhao, but her father, mother, and sister - she had completely given up on all of them. She planned to find an opportunity to sever ties with her family and have no further contact.

In this life, she only wished for her own life to no longer be disrupted by Chu Xueqi.

"Thank you, I will," Chu Xinyue said with a faint smile.

Arriving at the banquet hall, it was just the Chu family's turn to congratulate Qin Yan.

However, that family of three seemed to have forgotten they had another daughter.

Mr. and Mrs. Chu supported Chu Xueqi on either side.

"Congratulations on finding little Xi. Our elder niece has finally found happiness after suffering. Congratulations, congratulations."

"Sister Yan, little Xi, congratulations to you both. When I heard about this from Brother Qin earlier, I was so upset I cried. Thankfully, heaven has eyes and blessed good people like Sister Yan."

"Oh, and Xueqi brought a gift..."

Mr. and Mrs. Chu tried their best to put Chu Xueqi in the spotlight, but because of the lie about the life-saving benefactor, the Qin family felt somewhat uncomfortable facing them.

"Oh? Where's Xinyue?" Qin's Mother asked.

Mr. and Mrs. Chu were taken aback, as if they had just realized Chu Xinyue wasn't there.

"This girl, she's so ill-mannered. Who knows where she's run off to," Mrs. Chu said impatiently, feeling that Chu Xinyue had embarrassed them and reluctant to mention this ungrateful daughter.

Chu Xueqi looked at Qin Zhao in the distance. Since Qin Zhao had returned earlier, he had been wearing a gloomy expression. Chu Xueqi knew him well enough to understand that his mood was very bad at the moment.

She suspected that Chu Xinyue might have shamelessly clung to Qin Zhao, causing a conflict, and now didn't dare to show her face.

Thinking of this, Chu Xueqi couldn't help but feel smug inside. She curled her lips slightly, but her tone was concerned as she said, "Should I go look for my sister? She must be upset. I'll go find her and bring her back."

Her obedient manner made the absent Chu Xinyue seem unreasonable by comparison.

"Our Xueqi is so good. Don't worry about your sister, she's always throwing tantrums and sulking. Your foot injury hasn't healed yet, don't move around," Mr. Chu said lovingly, patting Chu Xueqi's head.

But the next second, a voice rang out.

"Oh my, I just took you to change clothes, how did it..." Ji Fei's voice trailed off, causing everyone to look over.

They saw Ji Fei, the hostess, standing beside Chu Xinyue.

Chu Xinyue's modest black dress had been replaced by a sky-blue cocktail dress that perfectly complemented her snow-white skin.

Chu Xinyue looked expressionlessly at her family members who had just been criticizing her.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

It was then that Qin Xian spoke up, "A guest's dress got wet by accident, so I asked my wife to help her take care of it."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Qin's Mother asked.

Qin Xian glanced at the three members of the Chu family and said, "I couldn't get a word in."

This statement immediately made the three Chu family members blush with embarrassment.

After all, they had been the ones talking non-stop earlier, directly accusing Chu Xinyue without giving anyone else a chance to speak.

Feeling the curious and mocking gazes around her, Chu Xueqi wished she could dig a hole and bury herself.

Why had everything gone so wrong since coming to the Qin Family?

It was all Chu Xinyue's fault.

Chu Xueqi glared at Chu Xinyue as she approached, and could only try to save face by saying, "Sister, so you were just changing clothes. I thought you were angry with me."

Mr. and Mrs. Chu also blamed this embarrassment on Chu Xinyue, thinking it was her fault for changing clothes.

But this time, when Chu Xinyue returned, she coldly stared at Chu Xueqi, the anger in her eyes seeming about to burst into flames.

Chu Xueqi's heart trembled. After some thought, she wondered if Qin Zhao had discussed the engagement with Chu Xinyue, which was why Chu Xinyue was so angry now.

Chu Xueqi could barely suppress the smile at the corners of her mouth, only subtly flashing a smug expression at Chu Xinyue.

If it weren't someone else's party, Chu Xinyue probably wouldn't have held back anymore.

What had happened in the bathroom just now, Chu Xinyue was certain it had something to do with Chu Xueqi. She didn't know when she had been forced to take the blame for Chu Xueqi again.

Chu Xinyue suppressed her anger and sat down without a word.

The Chu family ignored her and continued socializing.

Qin Zhao, who had been distracted earlier, only came to his senses when he saw Chu Xinyue.

Qin Zhao's expression kept changing, his mind in complete chaos.

It's impossible, the person who saved me as a child was clearly...

"Hey, what are Mr. and Mrs. Chu's first names?"

Qin Zhao turned his head to see Ji Fei quietly asking Qin Xian.

After Qin Xian answered, their whole family, except for Qin Xi, sat up straight. Although they were still making small talk on the surface, their eyes couldn't hide their burning curiosity. Their bodies even unconsciously leaned towards Ji Fei's direction.

What were they doing?

[I see, I was wondering how they could have mistaken the life-saving benefactor. So it was that family of three working together to deceive people.]

The Qin family members also speculated that this was the case, but it didn't make sense. How could Chu Xinyue not know?

Qin Zhao's expression changed several times as he secretly glared angrily at Ji Fei. He wanted to see how Ji Fei would spread rumors.
