Zhang Mei's brother also turned his gaze towards her. Upon observing the jade pendant clutched in her hand, a flicker of guilt flashed in his eyes, but he feigned innocence, saying in a wronged tone, "Sister, what do you mean by this? We came to you for help, and now you're saying our gift is not good enough?
"You're the ones who failed to handle the matter properly. Don't we deserve an explanation? After all, we are your family. You can't turn your back on us, can you?"
Had this been any other time, Zhang Mei would have sided with her family upon hearing these words, even if it meant clashing with Gu Shan. But today, she was infuriated by the fake jade pendant. She never expected her family to give her counterfeit goods. It was as if they didn't consider her one of their own. She retorted sarcastically, "Indeed, big brother, you've given a wonderful gift. Even when giving a present to your own sister, you give a fake one.
