"Haoxue, you go back first."
Manman's voice was always soft and tender, but like Wen Yuan, Haoxue loathed, or rather, was terrified of Manman's voice because it was akin to a needle wrapped in cotton.
"Sister Manman, I—"
"If I let you continue to embarrass yourself here, Uncle and Aunt will blame me for not educating you properly, letting you go out and lose face without self-awareness."
Manman articulated each word, her tone seemingly free of any reprimand, yet each word drove a nail into Haoxue's heart.
Haoxue truly feared that if Manman told other members of the Wen Family about this, it wouldn't just be about whether she lost face, but rather the shame of causing Manman to lose face would mock her even more among the Wen Family members.
As a sister, she had always been deemed more proper and better than Sister Manman by the family, and she couldn't ruin that reputation.
