Miss, Take Responsibility for Me

Xu Siyu rolled her eyes and pretended not to hear, "..."

Today she was working, she couldn't risk losing her big sister's job.

Moreover, there was no reason to bother with someone like Xu Siyan, who'd hated her from childhood. Their relationship as sisters was like being in boiling water.

Excessively made-up at such a young age, elder sister, you're here to attend a high-society banquet, not to prostitute yourself in high-society!!!

Seeing Xu Siyu remain silent, Xu Siyan escalated her attacks, "This outfit suits you, forever the poor woman who can't make it."

"Enough!! Siyan !!" Qin Tianming reprimanded Xu Siyan.

This further angered Xu Siyan. Pointing at Xu Siyu's nose, she shouted, "Did I say anything wrong? She's the one our Mummy Xu picked up, she's the unwanted goods. Her real parents didn't want her, that's why she's been homeless…"

"Big sister! It's okay to be foolish, nobody despises you, but please don't flaunt your stupidity before us. The reason why I'm homeless is that my real parents passed away, not because they didn't want me." Xu Siyu couldn't help but interrupt Xu Siyan's words.

The Xu family had been very kind to her. Mummy Xu and Daddy Xu loved her dearly.

When she first came, Xu Si, the eldest sister, even let Xu Siyu stay in her room. They treated her extremely well, like their own sister.

As for brother Xu Siyun, he favored Xu Siyu the most. Whatever she wanted, Xu Siyun would do everything he could.

But Xu Siyan always hated her. When they were young, no matter what Xu Siyu did, Xu Siyan despised her.

At first, Xu Siyu tried hard to win Xu Siyan's affection, but as time went on, she no longer bothered to please Xu Siyan. Let her hate, it didn't concern her anyway.

"Everything you eat, wear, use, including your tuition, are provided by my family. Do you have the right to speak to me!!" Seeing Xu Siyu's response, Xu Siyan instantly got furious and pushed Xu Siyu.

Xu Siyu wanted to fight back, but remembering that she was just working, she clenched her fists, "Yes, it's true that my food and clothing are provided by your family, but they do it willingly. That's better than some people, compromising their dignity for a designer dress."

"You!!!" Xu Siyan, eyes bulging, gave her a hard slap when she could not argue with Xu Siyu.

Everyone, "..."

The sound of the slap was so loud that everyone immediately turned their gaze toward them.

Xu Siyu clenched her fists tightly, "..."

Xu Siyan, just you wait!!!

Seeing that Xu Siyu did not fight back, Xu Siyan finally laughed, "What? Not fighting back now??"

Xu Siyu "..."

She held back, not wanting to get into a petty fight with a shrew.

"You're such a waste!! You've always been bullied by me since childhood, and now even your boyfriend has been stolen by me. What use are you ??"

Xu Siyu glanced at the embarrassed Qin Tianming and chuckled. "

You can have it, I don't care.

"I heard from big sister that your parents died in a car accident on your birthday, didn't they!!"

Xu Siyu's face stiffened, her previous nonchalant demeanor completely vanished, and she looked at Xu Siyan with a somewhat rigid expression.

Those who knew Xu Siyu were aware that this was her taboo. No one could mention the cause of her parent's death.

"No wonder your grandfather didn't want you. If I were him, I wouldn't want you either, you bringer of bad luck!!"

Xu Siyu's hand was trembling, "..."

"After you came, Mummy Xu has been unwell!!"

"Enough!!" Seeing Xu Siyu's distress, Qin Tianming shouted at her.

This didn't stop Xu Siyan from continuing, instead it enraged her further. She turned to face Qin Tianming and yelled angrily, "What? Did I say anything wrong?"

Qin Tianming looked painfully at Xu Siyu, then turned his face away angrily, "That's your sister!"

"I only have one sister, that's Xu Siai, I don't know this person! She was picked up by Mummy Xu!!"

Xu Siyu's face was extremely grim, but she still managed to stand there with a façade of happiness. Only the sorrow in her eyes was unable to be concealed.

She wanted to flee, but because of her work, she had no choice but to stand there.

...

Three men stood not far from Xu Siyu. All were suit-clad, tall, handsome and emanated an overwhelming aristocratic aura. So prestigious that everyone couldn't help but notice. Some people, using the commotion as an excuse, quietly moved closer to them.

The tall, at least 6'1", mixed-race man leading the group was known as Ou Tiandao. He was the son of Ou Junsan, the host of this banquet, and the existing CEO of LAS in the Asia-Pacific region, also the largest shareholder of LAS. He was known for his indifference, acerbity, efficiency, and loathed dallying. Anyone in LAS or even the entire financial sector who knew him, knew his distinct way of distinguishing between reward and retribution. It was far worse to offend him than to offend the king of hell.

The man standing next to him was Nangong Wuyi, the heir to the Nangong Financial Group. The male lineage of the Nangong family had always been gentle in appearance, but he appeared to have regained some vigor for the family, at least looking more manly than his father. Because of this, the president of Nangong Financial Group had been smug since his birth and after he came of age, he showed photos of Nangong Wuyi everywhere, fearing that others might not know that he was his son. The Nangong Financial Group held sixty percent of the global economic lifeline, making Nangong Wuyi a real rich, handsome, and well-built heir.

The man who had been leaning against the wall without saying a word is the protagonist of today's meeting, Diers Hilbert, the leader of the Italian RC Mafia, and the president of RC Industrial Corporation. In this era, ninety percent of the mafia do not engage entirely in illegal businesses. They conduct some legitimate business on the surface, while smuggling and illegal deeds occur in the background. The RC Corporation is involved mainly in industrial development, including oil, and a small part of the arms trade.

Diers himself inherited European characteristics, being very tall. His barefoot height itself was 6'3", and when wearing shoes he appeared to be a head taller than Nangong Wuyi and Ou Tiandao. Although he was leaning against the wall, his domineering presence loomed amidst the crowd.
