Although she said so, it was not a tone of discussion. The sense of superiority, which she wanted to conceal, could not be hidden.

I covered my mouth with my hand, looking surprised.

"Huh? Really? Do you think that as the wrongly embraced true daughter, I have been living miserably all these years?" I said.

Upon hearing me say this, Song's mother immediately frowned.

"Song Siruan, I am giving you a way out. If you have any requests, just say it directly. I will discuss it with your father. Don't give me any ambiguous remarks." Song's mother said displeased.

I felt that she was not sincerely coming to acknowledge me as her daughter.

She probably saw me attending with the Shen family and thought that I was getting close to them, even if I was inferior, it wouldn't be a loss to have a relationship with the Shen family through me.

I am not a fool. I am not willing to be a stepping stone for them, to be taken advantage of:

"I simply do not want to be involved with your family. Please do not use the fact that you are my birth mother to morally blackmail me."

I got up and went to the bathroom.

They were really speechless. Couldn't they pretend to be strangers with me as they initially said?

As I came out of the ladies' room, unexpectedly, I ran into Song Lichuan.

After seeing me, he immediately straightened up and walked towards me, it seemed like he came specifically for me.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say, fart quickly if you have gas." I said, wiping the water droplets off my hands.

Song Lichuan looked at me casually, "I was not very polite to you before, that was my mistake. Now, I apologize to you."

I just responded with an "Oh," without saying anything else.

Seeing my indifferent attitude, Song Lichuan looked very impatient:

"Song Siruan, because you are my real sister, I am willing to talk to you more. Seize this opportunity to return to the Song family now, or you will regret it later."

If the Song family's reputation ranked second, absolutely no one dared to compete for the first place.

As I walked away, I replied to him, "Don't bother me, please have some sense of boundaries."

Heavens, are they all acting like fools who just walked in? Each one of them seems to be acting like a fool.

Back in the main hall, I tried to appear very busy, not giving the Song family a chance to insert themselves in front of me to assert their presence.

However, Song Ning bounced in front of me again.

"Do you think our parents really want you to return? They just think that even if you are trash, as long as you can bring them benefits, it's fine." Song Ning said:

"And I am the recognized legitimate daughter of the Song family. I have received a high education since childhood and have been carefully cultivated into a socialite by them. Even if it's fake, so what? I can enhance their reputation. In their eyes, I am real."

"So don't think you can compete with me, you can't."

My gaze fell on the auction item in front of me, not giving her a second glance.

"Had enough? Find a corner to crouch in." I said.

Song Ning was so angry that her face turned red and her neck thickened:

"Song Siruan, you really have no shame!"

Song Ning looked fierce.

I turned and left, not wanting to listen to her barking anymore.

But she was not honorable, she stuck out a foot to trip me, and I bumped into the charity auction item in front of me, splashing a glass of red wine on it.

"This is a rare piece of Suzhou embroidery. This kind of needlework is already lost. A good cheongsam was ruined by you. It's a sin."

Song Ning's gloating voice came.

Our commotion was not small, and soon a group of people gathered around, including Song's father and mother.

Seeing me lying on the cheongsam, everyone showed a hint of disdain.

Even the socialites who had clinked glasses with me earlier looked at me with disgust.

In the upper-class circle, my current behavior was considered vulgar, inelegant, and contemptible.
