Ye Qian’s smile was very cordial, but her tone was very cold. “Do I have such an obligation?”
Lu Yan said, “Of course you do!”
Ye Qian looked at her.
Lu Yan’s smile was ferocious and proud. “I heard that you’ve hooked up with a new man. I wonder how much he knows about your past!”
Ye Qian was stunned for a moment, then she smiled. “He never asked about my past.”
Lu Yan was even more pleased. “Then do you want to try and see if you can still stay by his side if he knows about your past?”
Ye Qian nodded slightly. “You’re really getting smarter and smarter. As expected, people can’t stay in the comfort zone for too long, or else they’ll become stupid.”
Lu Yan looked at Ye Qian with some surprise and doubt.
Ye Qian said, “I don’t understand. Why would you cheat on Gu Nian with Lee Yang? What are you thinking? Don’t put all the blame on me. I didn’t force you to cheat, did I? Who do you think Gu Nian is? What do you take him for? How dare you cheat on him?”
Lu Yan regretted it, but she also felt wronged. “I’m not in Gu Nian’s heart! He can’t forget that bitch, Nanxing! If it were you, would you be able to bear it?”
Ye Qian frowned. “Then why did you get involved with Gu Nian? Don’t you already know from the start that he has Nanxing in his heart?”
Lu Yan choked.
Ye Qian said, “When Gu Nian blocked that knife for Nanxing, you should have known that Gu Nian will always care about Nanxing. However, Gu Nian is a stickler for propriety. He can do anything for Nanxing, but he has always respected Nanxing’s choice and knows that Nanxing’s heart belongs to someone else. He did not push himself on Nanxing. You, on the other hand, can be so shameless. You’ve led yourself to this state, but you blame others for it.”
Lu Yan flew into a rage out of humiliation. “You sure righteous. But is this not because you have a new man to rely on? We both crawled out of the same hole. At least I still have a noble bloodline. You’re just a person in the quagmire. When did you have the right to insult me? Do you dare to leave the man and still say the same thing to me?”
Ye Qian did not get angry. Instead, she laughed. “Lu Yan, I have never relied on a man to get to where I am today. I dare to say this even in front of Master Gu Er. The value that I have created for the Gu family is obvious to all. As for you, you managed to get into M University by yourself. I originally admired you very much, but look at what you’ve accomplished after that?
“Do you have any outstanding results? Look at Nanxing, Mai Qi and Jing Ni. All of you came from the same dorm. They have some shining results in the world. What about you? Besides going back to the Gu Family and becoming a Missy who is always inferior to others, do you have any other representative works that you can be proud of?”
Lu Yan’s face alternated between red and white.
“If you worked hard enough after you returned to the Gu Family, you wouldn’t have lost to your three roommates. It’s a pity that you’re so worried about your own gains and losses that you’ve lost your way. Now that you’re like this, I’m afraid that you can’t even compare to Gu Yan, whom you look down on the most. At least Gu Yan knows her own limitations and knows that she’s a good chess piece for a marriage alliance. She took that and ran with it. But look at you.
“You actually came to me to help you to get back with Gu Nian? What right do you have to ask me? Master Gu Er can order me around because he’s my foster father. What right do you have?” Ye Qian’s tone became sharper and sharper. “Wake up, Lu Yan. You have to take responsibility for your actions!”
