That banquet was the first banquet that Ji Qingrui attended.

There are stars like a starry light, shining silver tableware, food that exudes an attractive fragrance, and people wearing various gorgeous dresses.

She had never seen such a luxurious scene, standing there blankly, her slender hands tightly holding them, and her palms were almost sweating.

"Jinyao, you are here too."

A nice sound suddenly sounded in my ears, and it seemed as nervous as hers.

Ji Qingrui raised her eyes and saw a boy of about her age standing in front of her. Her hair was pitch black, her skin was white, and her eyes were deep like a dazzling galaxy.

Her heart hopped gently. The men she had seen since childhood were so vulgar. The first time she saw such a clean boy, although his eyes were a little cold, he could see a little tenderness inside.

At this moment, he was looking at the elegant and beautiful girl beside Qingrui, and the tenderness in his eyes was only blooming for her.

"Well, it's so boring. I didn't want to come at first, but fortunately you are here too. By the way, Lin Luowei, this is my sister, Qingrui."

Ji Jinyao suddenly introduced Qingrui to Lin Luowei, and his eyes floated over, and then he saw this mediocre girl.

She seemed to be by Jinyao's side all the time, but she had no sense of existence at all. It was not until Jinyao introduced him that he discovered her.

"Your sister?" Lin Luowei was a little surprised, "When did you have a sister? Why don't I know?"

"Qingrui was adopted by my father. She is very pitiful. Her parents died in an accident, and she is the only one left."

As Jinyao said, she began to feel sad. She grabbed Qingrui's hand and said to Lin Luowei: "I will treat her like my own sister in the future, and you should be kind to her too."

Lin Luowei nodded, stretched out his hand to Qingrui, and said politely: "Hello, I am Lin Luowei."

His fingers were slender and delicate, his voice was clear and nice, and everything about him was unremarkable.

Ji Qingrui looked down at his hand, as if she didn't react. It was not until Ji Jinyao pushed her that she woke up like a dream and hurriedly stretched out her hand.

Lin Luowei held her hand. Her hands were very cold, but his hands were very warm, just like... the brightest sunshine in the morning...

Ji Qingrui was dazed and forgot to let go. She felt a little nostalgic about this warmth that did not belong to her.

But Lin Luowei quickly let go of his hand and his eyes turned to Ji Jinyao, as if he had only her in his eyes.

They are really good, Ji Qingrui thought with some envy.

"Lin Luowei, I'm so hungry. Let's go there to eat something!" Ji Jinyao grabbed Lin Luowei, took two steps and remembered something again. He turned around and showed a sweet smile like a lily at Qingrui. "Qingrui, you have not attended such a banquet, you can walk around and see, there are many new things."

Ji Qingrui nodded without saying anything. She looked at Ji Jinyao's back, and even walked so delicately and elegantly. The blue and white lace dress was so beautiful that she looked like a noble little princess in her body. The blue bow ribbon on her two ponytails were gently shaking. Qingrui saw her shadow from the floor-to-ceiling glass. The lace dress and two ponytails were exactly the same as Jinyao, dressing up like a pair of twin sisters. But she was not as beautiful as Jinyao. She only looked inappropriate when dressed like this.

Ji Qingrui pursed her lips and lowered her head even deeper.

This is not her world, and she doesn't like it either.

But, where else can she go...

Ji Jinyao is always liked by all kinds of boys and praised by all kinds of elders. She is the pride of the Ji family.

Qingrui also wants to try her best to get the likes of others, but she is not as beautiful as Jinyao. She has not learned musical instruments and dance since she was a child. Compared with the perfect Jinyao, she looks stupid and ugly.

No one in the new school liked her, and others didn't even remember her name, and just used "heat" to replace her. She gradually disliked her talking and became more gloomy.

That day, she escaped from Ji Rongyan's room, and her arm seemed to be sprained by him, and it hurt so much. Her face was pale and sweaty on her forehead, but she did not dare to talk to anyone.

Yao Moqi was dressed beautifully and just came back from outside. Seeing Ji Qingrui pinching her arm with a weird expression, she put down the bag in her hand and walked over and asked softly: "Qingrui, what's wrong?"

Ji Qingrui looked up at her. The torn pain in her lower body made her lips white and her arms hurt very much, but she didn't dare to say anything, just shook her head.

Yao Moqi noticed something was wrong and took Qingrui back to the room. She rolled up Qingrui's sleeves and saw that the joints had already swollen.

"Oh, you won't tell your mother if you are injured. Wait a while, mom will get you the medicinal wine."

Yao Moqi did not ask her how she was injured because she knew it well.

She brought medicinal wine and rubbed it on Qingrui's arm, her movements were gentle like a kind mother.

"You didn't tell Jinyao, did you?" The calm voice vaguely felt a suppressed nervousness.

Ji Qingrui shook her head.

Yao Moqi touched her head, and her tone was slightly relieved, "Well, don't let Sister Jinyao worry about you. Just tell your mother if you are injured in the future."

My mother's actions were so gentle that Qingrui suddenly felt a little moved. She mustered up a faint courage and asked in a low voice: "Why, Dad wants to treat me like that..."

"Because Dad likes you." Yao Moqi said without hesitation. Her beautiful phoenix eyes bent in a beautiful curve and said with a smile: "That's why Dad adopts you. If Dad doesn't like you, he will not adopt you. You have to go out to wander. It's very messy outside, you can't go to school, and you can't eat. You will be abused when you meet bad people. Mom has seen those who abuse children in the news, baked with tongs, scalded with boiling water, and beaten with iron wire, and are injured all over. Although Dad sometimes has a bad temper, Dad has never done such a bad thing to you. You said, is Dad treating you very well?"

She was hypnotizing Qingrui. She said this from her mouth, her face was not blushing, and she was worthy of being a popular movie star with first-class acting skills.

Ji Qingrui lowered her head, grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands, and said nothing, her eyes gradually dimmed.

It turns out that my mother is also a bad person, and she doesn't really care about her.

Even she knew that Ji Rongyan had done something bad to her, but it seemed like a great gift from Yao Moqi.

She didn't know nothing, and she didn't live in a pure and beautiful greenhouse like Jinyao. She had heard vulgar and dirty jokes from men and was molested and beaten by her stepfather.
