The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

After getting on the carriage, the woman looked at Situ Yaorao and smiled: "Sister, speaking of what happened before, Hong Lei still wants to apologize to you."

"Have you done anything to let me down?" Situ Yaorao asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Before... my younger sister played some tricks on me, but you have to believe me, I have no ill intentions at all. I'm just afraid that Brother Dongfang will be taken away by you. You have everything, but I only have Brother Dongfang's love. If I lose even this little love, I really won't be able to live anymore." Situ Honglei said in a low voice.

As she spoke, she began to cry. Her voice was filled with tears. If it were any other time, Situ Yaorao would have believed it. But Situ Yaorao hadn't forgotten the venom in Situ Hong's eyes when she was getting into the sedan chair just now, and the malicious invitation now.

Today was the Chamber of Commerce's grand ceremony, and anyone with a discerning eye could see she was going to participate in the Chamber of Commerce's grand ceremony. And as the future daughter-in-law of the Dongfang family, Situ Honglei would obviously be with the Dongfang family. If she were dragged along, she wouldn't be embarrassed.

If she did something like the day she got engaged, it would be a disgrace to her grandma. Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao couldn't calm down. However, no matter how much you don't want it, it will eventually come.

The sedan finally landed at the famous Fengguilou in the capital. This restaurant was one of the venues for the Chamber of Commerce and was already packed. After Situ Honglei got out of the sedan, she said to Situ Yaorao, who was reluctant to get out, "Sister, shall we go in?"

Situ Yaorao certainly didn't want to be tricked like this, so she smiled and said, "Sister, can I know where this is?"

"This is Fenggui Tower. Didn't you come here today to see the Chamber of Commerce?" Situ Honglei said bluntly. Hearing this, Situ Yaorao cursed her inwardly, "You're joking, sister. I've already said that I'm here today just to go shopping and have fun. As for the Chamber of Commerce... I'm a girl, what's the big deal if I don't see it?" Situ Yaorao said, got out of the sedan chair, turned around and was about to leave.

Now that everyone is here, how could Situ Honglei let her go? Seeing Situ Yaorao about to leave, Situ Honglei hurriedly shouted, "Sister, why are you leaving? Didn't you just say you wanted to meet the legendary Third Young Master of the Situ Family? Didn't you say you've been thinking about him all the time?"

What the hell!

Situ Honglei's words were like a bomb. It exploded, and everyone nearby looked in Situ Yaorao's direction. Seeing Situ Yaorao, the men were disgusted, and the women were disgusted. They almost threw rotten eggs at her.

For a moment, Situ Yaorao became the object of everyone's attention, and a vacuum zone formed around her.

"Miss." Lian'er protected Situ Yaorao behind her, her brows furrowed tightly, as if facing a great enemy. And Situ Yaorao sneered: "Lian'er, please step aside."

"But Miss, these people..."

"I'm the eldest daughter of the Situ family. These people can only look at me. Do they dare to attack me?" Situ Yaorao said, looking at everyone coldly and said, "Have you seen enough? If so, get out of my way. Don't dirty my way." After saying that, Situ Yaorao really walked out of the crowd. Perhaps because of her indifferent attitude, or perhaps because no one dared to do anything to her, she walked safely to Situ Honglei.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? You look like you want to eat me. I, I just told the truth. You said before that you wanted to meet the Third Young Master, and it was only after your repeated requests that I brought you here. Why are you leaving now that you're here?" Situ Honglei looked at Situ Yaorao with a look of grievance.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao looked at her for a long moment and chuckled, "Haha."

"Sister, what are you laughing at?" Situ Honglei was a little afraid of Situ Yaorao, because she had suffered a lot from Situ Yaorao in recent days. But she still held the mentality that maybe Situ Yaorao was not a big deal, and provoked her again.

Looking at Situ Yaorao's appearance at this moment, Situ Honglei really felt a little regretful.

"I remember I warned you before, right?" Situ Yaorao's voice was not loud, and only Situ Yaorao and Situ Honglei heard it.

"What are you talking about, sister? I don't understand."

"Don't understand? Haha, that's fine. Since you don't understand, then I'll put it another way. I won't offend others unless they offend me. Since you have already bullied me, don't blame me, your sister, for being cruel." Situ Yaorao said.

"My sister brought me here out of kindness. Are you threatening me?"

"How could that be? Lian'er, you must have misunderstood me. Let's go inside," Situ Yaorao said with a smile. Situ Yaorao's life was already extremely beautiful, and her enchanting teardrop mole made her even more charming when she smiled. One casual glance at her would make people fall in love with her.

A person's temperament is very important, and Situ Yaorao can be said to have made the most of this appearance. Every frown and smile is captivating. Not to mention men, even Situ Honglei, who can't stand Situ Yaorao, has to admit that Situ Yaorao is very beautiful. A beauty that makes people jealous.

"Sister, why don't you leave?" Situ Yaorao asked with a smile, looking at Situ Honglei who was standing still at the door. Situ Honglei gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go in now." Then, she took Situ Yaorao to the place that the Second Young Master Dongfang had told her before.

At the same time, on the second floor.

The man was dressed in white, holding a feather-shaped folding fan. His eyes were narrow, his thin lips were slightly raised, and his long hair was tied up with a white jade crown. He looked very elegant and dashing. His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was unhappy about something.

"What happened to Third Brother?" A handsome young man in khaki robes asked in confusion. The man shook his head and said, "Nothing serious, I just saw something interesting."

"There aren't many things that Third Brother finds interesting. Why not talk to me, your elder brother?" Another man stepped forward. This man was none other than the Second Young Master Dongfang who had just asked Situ Yaorao to break off the engagement two days ago.

The man in white was the famous Third Young Master of the East. He glanced at his second brother, shook his head, but said nothing.

"You're being mysterious again." Young Master Dongfang frowned and said with some disgust.

"Okay, second brother, you know that the third brother has always been taciturn."

"Yes, yes. He's younger, and we should all give in to him. Seriously, this mindset hasn't changed. How old is he? He always looks so mysterious. If you don't know him, you might think the third son of the Dongfang family is a psychopath."

"Stop talking nonsense! Third brother just doesn't want to say more." The eldest son frowned and scolded coldly.

Just as the Second Young Master Dongfang was about to say something, the man in white said, "The two young ladies from the Situ family are here. Second brother, take care of yourselves." The man fell silent again. However, the Second Young Master Dongfang's expression changed. He sat up straight, pretending to be conscientiously reading the account book.

Sure enough, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" The one who asked the question was Young Master Dongfang.

"My name is Situ Honglei. I have been invited here today."

"It's the second young lady of the Situ Mansion. Come in quickly." As the voice fell, Situ Honglei happily pushed open the door. Then she pulled Situ Yaorao forward and said to the second young master Dongfang, "Brother Dongfang, I'm here. My sister... wanted to come and see too, so I brought her along. It shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

The Second Young Master of the East had always been concerned about Situ Honglei's situation. So, he nodded naturally and said, "It's nothing. It's just that Honglei, could this woman be threatening you again?" Upon hearing this, Situ Honglei's eyes welled with tears. Her expression of being wronged yet afraid to cry was heartbreaking. Situ Yaorao watched silently, and for the first time, she felt the urge to find a hole to crawl into.

Just as she was looking around casually, she happened to meet a pair of playful eyes.
