Lin Yaru stiffened her neck and glared furiously at Jie Jingwei. "You dare hit me? My parents won't let you get away with it."
Jie Jingwei sneered. "Your parents are the ones asking me for favors. Even if I did hit you, what could they possibly do? Run to my father and tattle on me? The most he'd do is give me a talking-to."
Lin Yaru gritted her teeth. Her parents had forced her to marry Jie Jingwei for the sole purpose of latching onto the Jie Family, hoping they would pull some strings and get her brother transferred back to the city.
"Lin Yaru, just look at yourself. The sight of you makes me sick. And you still fantasize about Jing Si giving you a second glance?" Jie Jingwei shot her a disgusted look, then stood up, grabbed the round mirror from the vanity, and tossed it onto her.
Lin Yaru didn't dare to look, instead flinging the mirror to the ground and smashing it. "Who's responsible for me becoming this hideous? You are! If it weren't for you, I'd still be..."
