Her smile was as innocent as a baby, and her gaze was as pure as the driven snow.

Qiana suddenly fell into inner turmoil.

She had described Mashauva as a hillbilly, called her a fatty, and even scorned her love for poor man's food.

Yet, Mashauva naively asked whether she liked the food. Her oblivion annoyed Qiana further.

Because it made her appear vile.

Such was human nature. If both parties were equally petty, they would be no end to the situation. Not only would nothing good come out of it in the end, but their reputation would also be ruined as well. However, if one party chose to be kind, it would be hard for the other person to press on.

Qiana twitched her mouth then nodded.

"It's not bad."

With that, Mashauva immediately spread her lips into a bright smile.

"I didn't believe it when Freddy said you wouldn't like them. I told him you would."

Qiana glanced at Freddy and wondered if he had bad-mouthed her. She then said, "He's full of lies. Besides, he liked to roast me since we were children. Don't believe anything he says about me." "He liked to roast you since you two were children? Why?" Mashauva couldn't make head or tail of it. "Isn't a brother supposed to treat his sister well?"

Just as how Bruno had always doted on her.

"Yeah, I think so too. After all, he's older, am I right?"

Qiana directed her gaze at Freddy, deliberately hinting at him.

Freddy snorted. "You want me to treat you well? No problem. Treat me with respect then. Don't be rude the next time you see me. If you're not going to see me as your older brother, why should I treat you like a little sister?"

Freddy never liked Qiana very much. If her mother hadn't brainwashed him with things like, she was his uncle's only daughter, and she was much younger than him. Moreover, it was the New Year. If he were to refuse, it would only hurt the harmony between the two families.
