Chapter 917: Chapter 915: MAINLEY BANQUET 3 – BRAGGING
"Diamond, there you are!" as she was busy listening to Andrea’s report while plastering a smile on her face as she watched the bodyguards bringing the gifts they have brought for the old man, Tiana’s pleasant voice rang in her ears.
Diamond turned her head to look at this friend of hers and beamed at her.
"Tiana! You look absolutely stunning!" Diamond sincerely threw a compliment as she ogled Tiana, who was wearing a fancy silver gown.
Tiana’s lips twitched at the unexpected praise, but her heart pounded happily upon seeing that Diamond meant it and wasn’t just casually saying it.
"Thank you, and so do you!" Tiana praised back.
Despite knowing what the sisters were going to wear, since she had already seen it earlier. Seeing her wearing the gown looked much better.
Diamond was like a mannequin that could take on all styles of clothing.
Diamond beamed when she heard that and threw a teasing look as she opened her arms as Tiana approached closer, "beautiful people always hang together!" and Tiana burst into a hearty laughter as she embraced Diamond.
"You are truly .... Unbelievable!"
Ruby’s lips curled upwards, stifling her laughter as she watched her sister’s carefree manner.
She was pretty nervous earlier. It was her first time attending something so high profile. She didn’t want to mess up. She wasn’t trained for all this, but Diamond had assured her just to be herself.
"Remember that you are a Perry. If anyone bullies you, then bully back. Your sister will hold the sky for you. So don’t let yourself be wronged."
"If you don’t like something, then don’t force it. Befriend those you want, and if none, then leave it at that."
She felt very warm hearing that from Diamond, but she wanted to do something, even if not for herself, but for Diamond. She couldn’t be willful.
When they arrived, she was still nervous, and with her appearing first, the nervousness was even higher. However, seeing how Diamond was acting without any worries, her worries seemed to disappear as well.
What was there to fear?
Her sister was the richest. With that mentality, Ruby’s burden disappeared, and she was all smiles.
After the two beauties hugged, which was quite a sight to several men, they parted, but the men’s mouths never stopped.
"I didn’t think that internet celebrity was this good-looking!"
"She has a nice body. Do you think that she ....?"
"Don’t say it like that. Don’t you know that she is not ordinary?"
"Not ordinary? Hehe, just another vixen relying on opening her legs and pretending to be rich. If money were that easy to earn, shouldn’t we all have it?" Another young man wearing a blue suit with a plain-looking face scoffed as he looked indignantly at Diamond and Tiana.
The few young men who were standing with him rolled their eyes at him when he wasn’t looking and silently muttered, ’just because you were turned down by the goddess. Now you slander her wherever you go! How shameless!’
Diamond, unfortunately, didn’t hear that; she was busy watching as Ruby shyly spoke with Tiana as they forged ahead, going into the mansion with the bodyguards following, carrying the gifts.
"Isn’t she strict?" After seeing how crazy Diamond could be during her broadcasts, Tiana was curious about that matter and asked Ruby directly.
Ruby stuck her tongue playfully as she took a quick glimpse at Diamond before shifting her focus back to Tiana, answering, "Not strict. Just stern, but it’s all for my good!" Her tone was filled with seriousness, which made Tiana’s eyebrows rise as she took a look at Diamond.
Diamond flashed a toothy grin at Tiana, feeling very proud of having such a cute little sister and one who listened to her very well.
Tiana felt envious seeing this. Her own siblings didn’t listen to her at all. In their families, when someone acts like Diamond, the other party would start thinking if the other person has ulterior motives or not. It was truly rare to do a good deed without anyone questioning another.
"You really trust her?"
"Um, she is my sister. If I don’t trust her, who else should I trust?" and that answer pierced Tiana even further.
Suddenly, she wished she were Ruby’s elder sister.
"I really admire your relationship!"
"Hehe," Ruby shyly scratched her head, thinking about the times when the two sisters weren’t that close due to several misunderstandings, and continued without looking at Diamond, "Sis Tiana, I think that for bonds between siblings to deepen. You need to communicate, spend time with each other, and be direct to each other.
The second you start doing something for them without proper communication, they might think otherwise.
You see, when my sister talks to me, she is very forward about everything. She spoils me, but there are boundaries. It doesn’t reach the point where I am rendered useless. I know that I must work hard if I need to have money of my own. I can’t always rely on her. That was something she told me.
Her money is hers. She might give me some, but I shouldn’t shamelessly think that in the end, it will come to me. At the end of the day, sister, one day will have her own family. If she hadn’t told me that, imagine how I would have reacted in the future if she had stopped giving me allowance?"
Ruby, adapting her sister’s approach of using a real life example, couldn’t help but share them with Tiana. She didn’t know how these rich people’s families’ dynamics were, but her family was very harmonious.
No one salivated for anyone’s money. Her parents’ business was faring well, and although they weren’t a lot compared to Diamond, they were satisfied and didn’t bother the siblings for any money.
As for her, using the allowance she got plus the salary earned during her working period, she invested with her sister, earned a lot, and used that money for her projects.
By following in Diamond’s footsteps and becoming an internet celebrity, she was now earning on social media. Although she wasn’t that popular like Diamond since her content was very different from hers, that was her hard-earned money.
With her own money, she barely thought about Diamond’s money. That was the money her sister earned with blood, sweat, and tears. Although she wasn’t entirely sure what her sister was truly doing, considering the secret that only their family knows, she knew not to envy her sister’s wealth. It came with risks.
So, imagine if she didn’t know all that and simply saw the money that her sister had. Wouldn’t that cause chaos?
