Tang Yaxuan clutched the candy in both hands, her eyes red with grievance.
A burst of mocking laughter erupted nearby. Tang Yaxuan looked over to see Wu Meina, Wu Meiting, and Wu Meijing. The three sisters had finally returned to the old Wu Family residence in Beijing, and they found everything new and exciting—even their own alley seemed beautiful. They loved running out to the entrance to watch the pedestrians go by. As they stood on the steps cracking melon seeds and chatting, they witnessed Tang Yaxuan's attempt to curry favor fall flat. They couldn't help but laugh and seized the chance to hurl some insults.
"Well, well, if it isn't Miss Tang, finally brought down a peg! When you used to visit, you'd guard our cousin Hao Hao like he was some precious Ginsengfruit. You wouldn't even let us get close, acting as if a single glance would make him lose a piece of flesh. How's that working out for you now? Hao Hao wants nothing to do with you. This is what you call karma!"
