Free Web NovelChapter 823: Chapter 823: Sorry, I Couldn’t Help Myself
Zhen Lingling was directly rejected by Gu Jin, yet her expression didn’t change.
She wore a faint smile as she spoke joyfully, "We share the same parents, and you’re older than me by a few years. If I don’t call you sister, should I call you a bitch instead?"
The girl in front of her had a delicate makeup, appearing innocent and harmless, yet she unabashedly uttered obscene words.
If Gu Jin had the mentality of someone her age, she would surely be emotionally affected at this moment.
However, the experiences from her past life made her as steady as a rock, unfazed.
Gu Jin tilted her head slightly and spoke playfully, "Your surname is Zhen, and as a member of the Zhen Family, you indeed have more rights to insult people. In my view, the Zhen Family is indeed full of bitches; no one but you is more suited to say such things."
"How can you talk like that!" Zhen Lingling widened her eyes, staring at Gu Jin incredulously.
She seemed shocked that Gu Jin even involved her parents in the insult.
Clearly, her words didn’t mean that; she was only targeting Gu Jin.
Gu Jin shrugged, "The way you talk is how I’ll talk."
Zhen Lingling’s eyes turned red.
She could no longer remain calm, glaring at her biological sister in front of her with indescribable disgust, "I didn’t expect you to be so sharp-tongued and mean, truly a wild girl with no manners from the countryside!"
"Right back at you, compared to you I’m far behind. When it comes to being mean and sharp-tongued, you, Zhen Lingling, are second to none. When it comes to being ill-mannered, you’re at the forefront. After all, not everyone greets someone for the first time with ’bitch.’
Gu Jin’s voice was filled with glee and teasing.
Her voice, laced with laughter, sounded indescribably sarcastic to Zhen Lingling.
Throughout the years, their parents had been searching for Gu Jin to come home, yet she never cared.
In her heart, she was convinced the so-called sister was just a countryside girl with no manners, dirty and stinky, not even comparable to their family’s servants.
However, upon their first meeting, Gu Jin’s appearance and demeanor made her so jealous it hurt.
Though born of the same parents, fate seemed so unfair.
In their exchange, she realized Gu Jin wasn’t the country bumpkin from her subconscious mind.
No matter what she said, Gu Jin could always counter with a smile.
This filled her with a sense of powerlessness and anger.
Zhen Lingling stared angrily at Gu Jin and asked, "Why did you come today?"
She didn’t believe Gu Jin came because of their grandfather’s birthday.
No matter how their parents invited Gu Jin over the years, she was unmoved.
Today was her engagement party with Liu Bochang, a nagging feeling in Zhen Lingling’s heart suggested Gu Jin was here to ruin it.
Facing Zhen Lingling’s angry gaze, Gu Jin lazily replied, "Me? I was just bored and came for a stroll."
"Afraid you came to snatch everything since you see I’ve found a good husband?" Zhen Lingling scoffed.
Her words made Gu Jin momentarily dazed, then she let out a low chuckle.
It seemed Zhen Lingling had told a hilarious joke, her laughter grew louder.
"What are you laughing at?!" Zhen Lingling felt humiliated again.
In her eyes, Gu Jin was impervious, unfazed by whatever she said or did.
"Sorry, I just couldn’t hold it in, hahaha—"
Gu Jin laughed until tears came out.
She gently wiped the corners of her eyes with her slender fingers, apologizing verbally, but with no sincerity in her tone.
