"Sister, you might as well go back now, stop embarrassing yourself here,"
Lan Jiaojiao approached and tugged at Lan Jin's sleeve, whispering in her ear with a voice dripping with sarcasm.
Despite the biting tone, her face bore a sweet, harmless smile, and she deliberately widened her eyes to appear watery and touching, eliciting sympathy from onlookers.
Unexpectedly, Rong Huo and Qin Yin didn't spare her even a glance of pity, focusing their attention solely on Lan Jin.
Lan Jiaojiao bit her lip, finding it intolerable that for the first time she was ignored by men, who preferred to watch a 'useless' person instead. This only intensified her resentment.
But Lan Jin paid her no heed and, left with no other choice, Jiaojiao sullenly and aggrievedly retreated to the side.
With her eyes slightly reddened and her lower lip tenderly bitten, she looked pitifully wronged as if she had been bullied.
