"Hmph, what do you think will happen to anyone who dares to cross me?" Yu Mao'er's voice sounded inherently sarcastic, carrying an arrogant, holier-than-thou tone mixed with contemptuous mockery, as if Li Dai were nothing more than an insignificant little bug she could crush at will.
Lian He, who was considerably more scheming, did not respond to Yu Mao'er's remark, but Lian Qiao chimed in eagerly: "Exactly! Sister Yu'er, that woman named Li has such a repulsive face. I couldn't stand the sight of her the very first time I met her. You have no idea, she actually hooked up with Lan Xiangfeng, that scumbag who abandoned my sister. If those two have nothing to do with each other, I'll spell my name backwards!" Lian Qiao never forgot to champion her sister, still brimming with righteous indignation.
When Lian Qiao brought up how Lan Xiangfeng had abandoned her, Lian He's eyes flickered and her expression turned unnatural for a fraction of a second. She had fabricated that story because she didn't want word to get out that she had abandoned her relationship out of fickle affections because she had taken a fancy to Deng Hu. Although Deng Hu was usually selfish, he was very generous to his own woman. Furthermore, she didn't like slender men like Lan Xiangfeng; Deng Hu's brawniness was much more appealing to her.
