Chapter 7: Change of Face
Perhaps stunned by the voice in her mind, the pretty sister stood with a stiff smile, trying to calm her emotions and not make any mistakes.
This... could the voice she be bearing was this girl's thoughts??
Inner Voice!
Taking a few seconds to adjust her emotions, she hardened her face and turned towards the still disoriented man, who was on the verge of going berserk.
Yet before be could even stand up, he felt another kick land on his chest, making him almost go crazy from hatred.
He couldn't understand how could this woman treat him this way!?
He was handsome!
He was rich!
He was the heir to the Director of Tianfu Electronics!!
He was everything a girl could dream about, yet, yet he was treating as if he was a pig!!
[What the hell! This guy is so damn narcissistic!]
Startled by the sudden voice the beautiful big sister suddenly turned to look at Ming Yue with a frown of concern.
[This... This!! How could there be such a thing?!]
Yet Ming Yue just continued exclaiming in her mind, unable to come back to reality as her system let out explosive news!
[This big sister is actually the daughter of a wealthy family and no one knows it!? She hid it to prove herself!! What an admirable big sister!]
[Yet... She's stubborn as an ox! Not listening to her second brother, who is the bigboss and the capital itself. He seemed to have discovered issues with her agent but she wants to repay her agent, so she doesn't want to change it and her brother didn't dare show evidence?!]
[What kind of drama is this?! That brother is so stupid and so is this pretty sister!]
Startled to the point of almost stumbling on her feet, the big sister wore a heavy expression, while looking icily at the man being helped up and his father rushing forward.
And he seemed to be angry before looking at her and was stunned speechless.
Due to his years of experience in the field, he had met various partners and even low-key wealthy families from the capital.
It was to the point he had a hunch regarding this girl and her identity, choosing to tread the safe path and suppressed his son.
Meanwhile the concerned bigshot was busy hearing the gossip about her own talented agent.
Turns out he was indeed a good person who gave everything to her carreer until a year ago when he realised there were some things that couldn't be helped.
He wanted to convince her to participate in the unspoken rules of the industry, but perhaps afraid of her vehement refusal, knowing her personality, he chose to keep quiet.
[That was until... he was approached by her rival and slept with her!? WTF! Just to satisfy his lust, he is willing to sell her off and has the nerve to think he is doing her a favor as it would also land her a role!]
[No matter! I have to wanr this kind and cool big sister!]
Hearing Ming Yue's thoughts and feeling her concern, the cool big sister smiled bitterly, wanting to her, 'I already know...'
Sadly, she didn't know anything about this strange phenomenon and wanted to see proof before believing it.
However, the seed of doubt once planted always sprouts without any surprise and she began to doubt his recent movements.
Just as she was about to go deep into her memories, she heard the Tianfu Director polite voice.
"Miss, I deeply apologize for the transgressions my young son caused. It was out of his hot-tempered nature due to his youth."
[Wow, what a wordspell! Truly twisting the incident onto him being a youth and it's a mistake made out of it!?]
Just the thought of it appaled Ming Yue and she wanted to break it, but her "brother" seemed to have different thoughts.
"No, no, how could we ask an esteemed person such as yourself apologise!" He said and helped him up, acting on behalf of Ming Yue, disregarding her completely.
The scene made the cool big sister frown and remembering Ming Yue's kind nature, she wanted to help the girl.
Just as she was about to open her mouth, she heard an excited voice.
[Isn't it just an performance? Who doesn't know how to act?]
"Yes, b-big brother is r-right," Ming Yue said slowly, stammering, on the verge of tears as if she'd been wronged.
Alonside her minimal make-up and style, it created a picture of a pitiful bunny being wronged.
The cool big sister was actually amused by this and almost smiled before she caught her expression and maintained it.
No can do! I mustn't make mistakes and enjoy the performance thoroughly!, she thought.
"T-thanks to the kind s-sister saving me," Ming Yue added in a low voice, making it almost inaudible yet with all eyes on her, it was definitely perceptible.
It changed the way they looked towards Brother Shen, being almost unfriendly.
Unable to bearthe burden, he wanted to curse and could only look at Ming Yue with hidden resentment.
However, he was quick to recover and along with the pinch on her forearm, he knew his lost sister felt insecure.
He couldn't let that wrretched fake steal his sister's spotlight, could he?
But before he could do anything, a woman suddenly slapped the director's son opposite him, stunning him speechless.
"Is that how you apologise?" She said with gritted teeth, barely holding back her anger.
"Mom!" The boy shouted aggrievedly yet he only got a cold, unfriendly look from her mother.
[Wow, is she a hero? To dare slap her own son? Is her heart made of steel?]
Ming Yue really admired the young lady and wanted to praise her more before she saw an unnatural look pass through the old Director's face.
[Huh? Why does he look so worried and his face... it's pale? As if drained of color? Lemme check!]
With that Ming Yue asked the system about the reason while the cool big sister also noticed the change in his expression, curious to know what caused.
It was definitely not out of regret.
She'd seen his shameless face glaring at Ming Yue with veiled disdain.
