White Lotus

[Well..., let's just say that girl is actually his biological daughter but not completely...]

The system only replied vaguely, infuriating Ming Yue to the point of wanting to kick it away.

Alas, the system wasn't a physical entity or it would really be subjected to immense amounts of pain for its frustrating actions.

'Ahhhhhh! Just goddamn say it!' Ming Yue cursed exasperatdly, curious about the half-daughter issue and angry at being kept at bay.

The system really knew how to stoke one's nerves.

[Hmm. In simple terms, she is his daughter, but she needed gene replacement therapy and bone marrow replacement alongside several other medical procedures just to be born and live past a few years.

However, without her father being there, the donor couldn't be found. Naturally, her mother did pass some compatibility tests, but it was impossible for her to undergo such procedures unless she wanted to say goodbye to her life...]

'That's strange...? Why would anyone do that for a child that was forced upon them?'

[Sadly, she lost the ability to have children post-birth and that girl is all she could ever have, so, in her desperation, resentment and hatred, a single flower of love bloomed with the caring consolation of her attending doctor who sympathized with her and introduced her to a suitable donor...]

'Let me guess,' Ming Yue interrupted with a feeling of speechlessness.

'That donor is his sister-in-law and so this girl is half her daughter?'

[Yes! But that's not where things end!]

The system was finally excited after going through the rough phase of one's life.

'Uh, ah? Say what now?!'

Ming Yue had all her attention stolen away so she couldn't care less about the people greeting her and just passed by with a polite fake smile.

Though Shen Pei'er and her brother thought she had never seen such a big scene as she seemed to be in a daze.

In a matter of seconds they deemer her an embarrassment to them, not realising Ming Yue was busy eating melons.

[...then, the two met often and started to open up and lamenting their bad luck with men... And just like that, feelings developed before a night of passion led them discover their true likes and the two started living together against their families!]

'Oh.'

Ming Yue really didn't know how to feel about this tragic story that seemed to at least have somewhat of a good end.

It was just that she couldn't be sure that this was the end yet.

[Well,... the girl in question knows he is her father and wants to get revenge for her poor mothers.]

'Oh?'

Finally, Ming Yue had a hint of smile and liveliness in her eyes as she secretly stole a glance at the big sister swirling red wine elegantly.

'Wow, so pretty!' She couldn't help but comment, ignoring the guy standing opposite her.

Just as he was getting impatient, he saw her look away and his face couldn't help but turn red in anger.

He was the only son of the director of Tianfu Electronics, so when had he been ignored by a girl?

Tianfu Electronics was a big name and being able to invite their impetuous young master showed the standing of Shen Family in Yu Province.

Of course, Tianfu Electronics was just a top 3 in the Yu Province, but couldn't even be mentioned in the top 20 across the nation.

Not to mention, any company in the top 50 from the neighbouring provinces could equal it.

Yet the man was just a youg stubborn arrogant young master who didn't know how high the heavens were.

"You...!" He spoke through gritted teeth, catching the attention of Shen Pei'er and her brother, who were too shocked to respond for a second.

And all it took was that one second for him to rush over at Ming Yue to slap her and get her to focus on him.

It would be a major humiliation to the Shen Family who just introduced her, but he couldn't care less.

However, before his hand could even start descending, he was kicked down in an instant.

The one to kick him down was a stunning beauty with somewhat matching features to Ming Yue, which were masked by her make-up.

"Isn't that...?"

"Yes!! The Youngest Movie Queen!"

"The popular one with one of the best acting skills in recent years!"

"I heard she has a powerful sponsor..."

Amidst those whispers gossiping about her, the woman in question with elegant black hair and almond shaped brown eyes stayed calm, as if indifferent to everyone around her.

It was the sort of innate nature she had grown accustomed to ever since young.

Suddenly, her expression almost crumbled as she heard an excited echo in her head.

[Oh my god!! So cool!! Big sister, I am your fan!!]

Before she could understand where the sound came from, she felt an intense gaze lock onto her and almost let her perfect expression crack.

Is... that her?

Suddenly, a strange notion took form in her mind as she saw the excited and reverent look in Ming Yue's eyes, not knowing the name of the girl she just saved.

[Oh no! How could that be! How heartless! Men really are beasts!]

Abruptly, the voice sounded again, taking away her focus, but this time she kept her calm and asked, "Are you fine?"

Naturally, no guest thought she was asking the guy she kicked down.

They inwardly snickered, believing he deserved it for trying to hit a woman for no reason.

While others thought this woman was interfering for no reason and would end up catching trouble.

She was completely indifferent to the man she hit earlier.

She had just been casually attending the banquet before the announcement came and she went to greet the newcomers, only to see such an infuriating scene.

Raised by her parents with a good upbringing, how could she accept such a scene?

In the end, her sense of justice prevailed and she ended up moving before she could think.

Though she didn't regret her actions, the sudden voice she heard made her curious towards the speaker before her mind froze.

"I-I am fine, thank you!"

Ming Yue said with a weak, pitiful voice as if she'd been aggrieved and bullied with two teardrops on the corner of her eyes.

Before the beautiful girl opposite her could react, another voice echoed in her mind.

[Hehe, how's that!? Aren't I the perfect white lotus?]

[Big sister would surely get angry for my sake and give that scumbag a few more hits, yeah? Hehe~]
