The argument between the harmonious cousins did not escalate too much, but it continued for a few minutes. Hu Lei could not help wondering why they were so comfortable quarrelling like that in her presence. However, she did not mind. It was interesting, and she gathered a few bits of information from the conversation.
Apparently, Ting Wan was an adopted child of a sort-of distant aunt. She did not belong to the Bei Gong family in Supreme City, but the ever-kind Miss Jiu had helped her get adjusted. However, though they got along on the surface, they were not-so-secretly dissatisfied with each other.
Ting Wan obviously thought that her rich cousin was dumb, and her show of kindness was just a way to be condescending while looking good. As for Bei Gong Jiu, she was not clear as they quarrelled. She kept insisting that she had helped Ting Wan and been betrayed. Then, she burst into tears.
