Quick Transmigration: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack, A Guide to Cunning Strat

Weekend at Sheng Residence.

Early in the morning, Sheng's mother pulled Sheng Shuwan out of bed and showed her and Sheng Nian (Sheng's parents had discussed the matter of changing her surname with Su Nian, and she immediately agreed, so she would be called Sheng Nian from now on) the two dresses she had ordered, one pink and one blue.

When Sheng Nian saw the pink dress, she couldn't take her eyes off it. The strapless dress gradually transitioned from pink to purple, covered with a layer of tulle. The tulle was adorned with tiny diamonds that shimmered under the lights, like a dreamy and beautiful galaxy.

While the blue dress next to her was also exquisite and unique, it appeared somewhat ordinary when contrasted with the pink dress.

"Mom, can I choose this pink one?" Sheng Nian asked eagerly, wishing she could put the pink dress on right away.

“Niannian, Mom thinks this blue dress next to you might suit you better.” Sheng’s mother was a little embarrassed. She had chosen this blue dress because she had considered that Sheng Nian’s skin was not fair enough and her figure was slightly inferior. It would better highlight Sheng Nian’s advantages.

"But Mom, I really love this pink outfit. Sister, please let me have it, considering how many years I've been away from home."

Sheng Nian felt a little resentful. She thought that only her mother was good to her in the family, but she didn't expect that she was still no match for Sheng Shuwan. But what did it matter if she bowed her head to Sheng Shuwan once in order to outshine her at the party?

"Whatever, take it if you want it."

"Thank you so much, sister. I'll go upstairs and try on the clothes now."

Madam Sheng was somewhat disappointed and wanted to say something more, but seeing that Sheng Shuwan had agreed, she gave up.

Watching Sheng Nian cheerfully direct the maids to take the dress upstairs, as if afraid she would change her mind, Sheng Shuwan curled her lips, cursed the fool in her heart, and then hugged her mother's arm, resting her head on her mother's shoulder: "Mom, if she likes pink, just give it to her. Anyway, I like any clothes that Mom chooses for me. I love Mom the most."

Mother Sheng affectionately patted Sheng Shuwan's head: "You've been wronged, Shuwan."

"What's wrong with that? I'm so pretty, I look good in anything." Sheng Shuwan tilted her head back playfully.

"Narcissist," Sheng's mother said with a playful laugh, gently pinching Sheng Shuwan's nose.

She just felt a bit resentful towards Sheng Nian. She thought that someone who wasn't raised by her side wasn't as caring as she thought. She didn't care what Sheng Nian would look like in the dress. She patted Sheng Shuwan's hand and said, "Come on, Mom will take you to pick out some jewelry. I remember I have a sapphire necklace that would go perfectly with this dress."

"Hey, is that the Ocean Heart amulet that Dad gave you before? Mom, you're letting me bring it along. Dad won't be angry, will he?" Sheng Shuwan teased.

"You naughty girl, you even dare to tease your mother. It's that one. Besides, hasn't your father bought you enough jewelry? When I get old, won't all of these still belong to you?"

"Mom isn't old at all..."

The mother and daughter went upstairs together affectionately.

Before the banquet, Sheng Nian looked at herself in the mirror in surprise. She looked noble and beautiful, a sight she had never imagined before.

She came out of the room excitedly, intending to show off to Sheng Shuwan. Just then, Sheng Shuwan also came out of the room, and Sheng Nian's words suddenly stopped, and she fell silent.

Sheng Shuwan wore a blue dress that made her skin look as white as snow. Her long, seaweed-like hair was slightly curled in front of her chest, which complemented the necklace between her collarbones. She looked simple and elegant, like a real princess. Compared to her, Sheng Nian was like the ugly duckling next to a swan.

Seeing that it was almost time, Sheng's mother came upstairs to call them and immediately spotted Sheng Nian.

Although her skin had regained a little fairer after a week of rest and she had been styled by a makeup artist, it still looked quite dark against the pink dress. Coupled with her slightly hunched back, the beauty of the dress was halved. Standing next to Sheng Shuwan, she looked even worse.

Mother Sheng sighed inwardly, but ultimately said nothing more.

"Alright, now that everything is ready, let's go downstairs. Your father and brothers are waiting down there."

“Okay, Mom, let’s go down quickly.” With that, Sheng Shuwan took her mother’s arm and led her down the stairs. Her mother followed her and turned back to call out to Sheng Nian, “Nian Nian, hurry up and catch up.”

Sheng Shuwan gave Sheng Nian a provocative smile, then turned to her mother and acted coquettishly, taking the opportunity to steal her attention: "Mom~, how old is she? Can't she even walk up the stairs? Don't worry about her. Instead, pay attention to your baby Wanwan. She's starving. I've been getting ready all day. I could eat a whole cow by now."

"I already told the kitchen to make you something to tide you over, but don't eat too much and develop a tummy."

"Mom! I know my limits, so please don't make fun of me about what happened in the past."

……

Sheng Nian, who remained where she was, clenched her fists, her fingertips digging into her palms. She endured it for a moment, then forced a smile and followed them downstairs.
