The Sheng family has found their long-lost daughter, and soon made an official announcement, letting everyone know that the Sheng family has a second young miss.
During this time, Sheng Xiaorou's living expenses seemed to skyrocket.
For food, she would have five-star chefs use the freshest and most expensive ingredients to prepare her meals. For clothing, she would have high-end designers make custom outfits, each costing up to a million, and these were just basic clothes. The extravagance of it sometimes left me speechless.
Although our family is wealthy, it was all earned by my parents over the past decade. Deep down, they are still frugal and do not approve of Sheng Xiaorou's extravagant ways.
But because she had just returned home, it wasn't appropriate to say much. They just privately asked me to advise her more.
I did as told, but Sheng Xiaorou just dismissed it.
"Isn't the money my parents earn meant to be spent on me? Besides, as the future heir, shouldn't I be spending money?"
I didn't say much more, turned around, and continued selecting the clothes to wear to the banquet tomorrow.
Tomorrow, there is a gathering organized by the rich second-generation in the circle, essentially a social event for us younger generation to network. Sheng Xiaorou heard about it and repeatedly tried to persuade me to take her, but this event required real-name registration and an invitation to enter.
"Sis, just take me with you, didn't Dad ask you to take me out more?"
"Please, please, sister."
She continued pleading, and I pretended to be reluctantly agreed, "Well, remember to dress up nicely and don't embarrass the family."
Seeing my agreement, Sheng Xiaorou was overjoyed and eagerly went to choose her evening gown.
The next day, the rich second-generation at the club looked at Sheng Xiaoran, who was dressed like a peacock, and started discussing.
"Is she the twin sister that the Sheng family found? Why is she dressed like this?"
"Is the Sheng family some nouveau riche? Wearing all that gold and silver, it's so tacky, today is just a regular game night."
...
The surrounding discussions made Sheng Xiaorou blush, holding her big skirt, feeling awkward standing there being scrutinized by everyone.
Someone laughed, "So ugly, and what's on her face?"
Looking around, no one was dressed as extravagantly as Sheng Xiaorou. What was supposed to be a boring party became livelier because of her arrival.
I squinted, remembering my past life, which was even worse than this, being deceived by Sheng Xiaorou into wearing a bikini and coming to this party, enduring countless sneers and ridicule, and almost being exposed by her group of sisters.
"Xiaoran, is she really your twin sister? She doesn't seem anything like you, she looks so tacky, does she think being expensive means wearing gold and silver?"
One of the rich family's daughters who I got along with well came to my side and quietly complained to me.
I smiled and didn't say anything, then turned to play games with them.
