Nie Lingshan originally had no real interest in Chen Sheng, much less any intention of fighting her younger sister for a husband.
She had come only to ask for help, hoping Chen Sheng might do her a small favor.
Her earlier, seemingly considerate words were merely a way to tease her ever-so-proper sister.
But she never imagined that after she had acted so considerate and charming, Chen Sheng would still choose Nie Lingxi right in front of her.
How was that any different from a slap in the face?
Nie Lingshan and Nie Lingxi were twin sisters, like twin lotus blossoms on a single stalk. Since they were children, they had competed over everything—from clothes, food, and toys to the praise of their elders.
Her aim wasn't to be superior, merely never to be outdone.
To be rejected so bluntly in front of her sister made Nie Lingshan's cheeks burn, and a sudden, nameless anger flared within her.
Her composure shattered instantly.
"That's not quite it."
