Chapter 200 A Queen of Fake Faces
"If the hypocrisy in the world all have a mask, then Sky Song is definitely one of them. She can be called the Queen of Fake Faces."
Cathy pulled her trousers down and sat on the sofa, with her legs crossed. She was watching at the door angrily, as if the woman whom she called the Queen of Fake Faces was still outside the door. Jenny sat opposite to her, kind of confused, "Is your scar on your leg caused by her?"
"Nobody will believe me. When I was a kid, I liked to go to the places where there was fire. People cooked on the stoves, which was the place that I liked to stand near."
At that time, Cathy was a guest when she came back from abroad, while Sky Song and others were hosts, who were very familiar with these places. Therefore, everyone took care of Cathy -- the youngest sister among them.
Especially Luke. Cathy was his cousin, whom he paid much more attention and took extra care of. Thus, Sky Song, originally the center of them, was ignored by them.
"I remember that was on a Winter Solstice, when several family gathered together in Luke's home to make dumplings. Luke's father had not come home, and aunts were all in the kitchen making dumplings. We were in the hall playing, while my brothers and sisters were in the study room on the second floor. I was thirsty and wanted some water to drink, so I pulled her sleeves."
"Then?"
"She told me that the kettle was on the stove, and I needed to get the water myself. Otherwise, I would not have the right to eat dumplings."
Cathy at that moment was so obsessed with dumplings that she believed it. Then she ran towards the stove on which there was boiling water. She was to touch the handle of the kettle.
The water in the kettle was boiling, so the kettle was hot enough to harm hands. When she touched it, she screamed out, and the next moment, Sky Song rushed towards her.
"I thought she was rushing towards me to help me or ask me what was the matter."
"So she did not?" Jenny frowned.
"She was so selfish that she would not care about others." Cathy snorted angrily. "She should have come over to overturn the kettle."
"My God..." Jenny covered her mouth with her hands, feeling it unbelievable.
"There was something more serious." Cathy smiled coldly. "She bent over me, so that only my legs were hurt, but her back was hurt more seriously. My parents, aunts, and the servant maids in my home all thought that it was she who saved me..."
"Didn't you explain it to them?"
"I was too painful to say anything." Cathy lowered her head and was playing the tassels on her clothes. "If it was happening right now, I would tell everyone the truth even though I was hurt to death." After that, Cathy recovered, but she was inevitably scolded by her families. She felt wronged, ans told them the truth, but the elders in her family thought she was wronging Sky Song. After all, nobody would hurt herself to wrong another person. In addition, Sky Song had gone to France, her families just thought she was making up a story because Sky Song was not there to defend herself.
The early Spring in Beijing did not has the warmth brought by the season. It was still freezing, even more freezing than the wind in the winter.
Cathy also said that she herself was not sensible enough and she liked telling lies to not shoulder her responsibility, which made Sky Song play a trick on her.
Jenny could not help holding her hands, but she did not know what to say to comfort her.
"But every thing is fine right now!" Cathy's eyes flashes some lights. "She always thought that nobody but herself could match Luke. But you are here right now. I want to see how arrogant she can be. Well, my aunt has not come back yet. When my aunt comes back, she will not dare say anything, not even breathe."
"Your aunt?"
"Yeah, she is doing some research in
America. She is busy with some project right now, so she cannot come back. But when you are getting married, she might be able to come back. She will be super duper
happy if she knows that Luke does
not marry Sky Song."
At the noon, Cathy ate something with Jenny. Then she received a call from a Chinese friend, and she just went out in a hurry, before which she told others not to tell anyone that she was going outside. Since Jenny was a new friend to her, she thought she was not qualified to interfere too much with her personal life. Jenny just told Cathy to take care.
The dinner was arranged at 7:30 p.m. Luke came to pick up Jenny.
Sky Song was also there with them to go downstairs.
After Cathy When opened the door with Cathy and saw Sky Song there opposite them, she felt a little shocked, "Luke, will Sky Song go with us?"
"Yeah." Luke answered lightly.
"No." Cathy began to shout, "She was not one of us. With what identity will she go there? It is not proper. Luke, what position do you put Jenny? This is unacceptable."
"Do you know what is acceptable?"
Luke took a glance at her and then turn to look at Jenny, "When Sky's parents were alive, we were very
close friends. Now Sky Song is net
along in Beijing, we should take
moke care of her. We just need to add another pair of chopsticks when
having dinner, do you mind?"
Jenny felt a little shocked and then tried to smile, "Of course not."
This was your family dinner, you could invite anyone as you like. She -- Jenny, did not have a say.
Cathy felt angry and pulled Jenny's sleeves. She stared at Luke, "Luke, you are going too far. Jenny, let us go."
There were two cars in front of the hotel. Cathy stuffed Jenny into the car ahead, then she waited there for the two people behind. She was not natural.
"I think, if someone's legs went wrong, then she'd better stay here. Otherwise, she would drag us behind."
Sky Song smiled politely, "I was having a concert other day. So I danced too much in high heels and my legs indeed felt uncomfortable. I am so sorry for having kept you waiting." "Hypocritic..."
Sky Song did not care about what Cathy said. When Luke opened the door of the car, she just went forward and sat in it. It was not known what she told Luke into his ears, Luke just sat in the same car with he from the other side.
"Well..." Cathy patted at the door and shouted at the car behind, "What's the matter, Luke..."
Jenny was sitting in the car, and she knew what happened outside the car. She rolled the windows down and looked AT Cathy, "Get on, Cathy. We are to blame if we are late."
Cathy stared at the car behind angrily for a long time before getting on the car. When she got on, the sound of her closing the door seemed to make the sky hear.
The dinner was to be held at a famous international hotel, which was secretive enough. In a military family like Luke's, people would not dare go out if they did not have some safeguards and bulletproof cars. People in the booth were protected very well. Anyone who wanted to come into and went out the booth needed to be scanned by a metal scanner, as if they were passing the customs security check.
After they were scanned, Cathy said,
"Never mind, we need to go through
this every time we dine outside. It will be better when we eat at home next time. I am not in the mood to eat after all the tiring processes. I amonly thinking whether I will be assassinated."
