When Lin Mengchen was thrown out, Lin Mengyao and Xu Ke stood among the crowd, witnessing everything firsthand. "Do you think I was too harsh on her? But has she considered what those words would mean to you if others heard and remembered them? She's no longer a child; she knows how much gossip this will stir against you in Locheng, yet she still said it. Compared to the harm she's caused you, what I've done to her is only a fraction."
Xu Ke held Lin Mengyao's cool fingertips and whispered softly in her ear.
"I know, I'm just a little sad. I never thought our paths as sisters would lead to this."
After all, Lin Mengchen had been her sister for over a decade. Watching her be dragged away in front of the entire high society, losing all face, Lin Mengyao felt indescribably distressed. She blamed Xu Ke for being too ruthless, but his words dispelled her resentment, leaving only endless melancholy.
