As the noise grew closer, Jun Jinxi coiled her hands tightly around those of Jiang Yuzhu's where they stood, not too far away.
Her face grew increasingly pale, trembling ever so slightly.
She had always only felt comfortable speaking freely with Jiang Yuzhu, often finding herself at a loss around others.
And the barrage of insults before her felt like an assault on her very being.
Jiang Yuzhu leaned down, whispering soothing words to Jun Jinxi. "Xixi, there is nothing to fear, your sister is here."
Gu Yanran and her entourage didn't notice the two, continuing their discussion.
"Isn't she just an orphan with no background? How can she be deserving of the Jun Family?" Gu Yanran shrugged her shoulders with a dismissive look.
Her accomplices sneered, "Exactly, how can someone like her even dare to associate herself with the Jun Family. She is clearly out of her league!"
At this moment, Jun Jinxi suddenly released Jiang Yuzhu's hand, her eyes filled with anger.
