With that, they moved toward me, trying to drive me out. Hearing this, Julia burst into tears and stepped forward as if to stop me.
“Sister Vivian, it’s all my fault. Please don’t be upset with me.”
“I must be in the way. I’ll leave now. Just enjoy dinner with your family. Don’t worry about me.”
Julia dabbed at her tears, preparing to go.
At that moment, Ethan embraced her, then turned and glared at me.
“Don’t mind her. She’s petty and malicious—she’s just finding excuses to bully you!”
Shaking with rage, I picked up the tin of tea.
“Ethan! Tell your parents! Who bought this Yunshan Oolong?”
But Ethan’s expression turned icy.
“Stop twisting the truth, Vivian. Julia gave this to them!”
My whole body trembled with fury.
“Take your cheap tea back to the street stall and get out!” Ethan barked.
“We’re having dinner. None of it is for you,” his parents said coldly, ordering me to leave. Looking at the four of them, I finally realized I had always been an outsider.
Seeing this, Julia’s lips curled slightly.
“That’s not right. Let Vivian stay for dinner.”
She stepped toward me, tugging at my sleeve. But Ethan’s father cut her off coldly.
