After all, this is the best revenge, isn’t it?
"Clap, clap, clap," Anran looked at Bai Zhi with a gaze full of admiration.
"Not bad, not bad at all. You spoke very well, little girl. I haven’t even finished speaking and you’ve already guessed the truth. You’re so clever that I don’t want to let you go. Why not become my subordinate instead?
Those people, they think we’re ants, watching us struggle in this place, struggling, trying to escape over and over again, just like a cat playing with a mouse."
Watching them run away again and again, but each time ending in disappointment, in despair.
It was driving her to a mental breakdown; she hated every man here, including Goh Fan.
What did it matter if Goh Fan loved her? He gave her hope in the beginning, said he would take her away, but what was the result?
It was just to let her fall into despair. A man who can’t keep his promises is of no use.
The hatred in her eyes was undisguised, but Goh Fan looked back at her with a tender gaze.
Uh, seriously though, it’s a bit painful to watch.
At the very least, Bai Zhi couldn’t stand it.
"Now, haven’t you become what you said you despise, turning into the cat that catches the mice?"
She was the one speaking ill of others, and she was the one doing the vile deeds.
"I was forced into it, driven to become the Devil, but I’ve found that since freeing myself, I’m very happy, extremely happy. I’ve discovered that these days, I’m truly ecstatic.
Seeing those little mice having no choice but to obey is such a thrill. I’ve fallen in love with this feeling."
Her eyes grew cold and sharp, gleaming with a profound light.
"This man, Goh Fan..."
She pointed disdainfully at Goh Fan, as if pointing at something utterly disgusting.
Even though they had been married for many years, even though they had lost a child, she still loathed him, loathed this man.
But Goh Fan didn’t care, even if it was the disdainful Anran, she was still beautiful to him, so beautiful he couldn’t take his eyes off her.
He didn’t care whether Anran loved or hated him; as long as he could help her, that was enough.
"What a waste. I made him betray his mother, and he did it, helping me to take over her position. Isn’t that laughable?"
She wanted revenge in the most painful way possible for that woman. What could be more painful than having her very own proud son betray her?
She had discovered that this feeling was incredibly exhilarating, making her crazy in love with it.
"It’s more than just that. Since you hate him, it follows you should also hate his daughter. So you dragged Goh Fei down into the mire, turning her into a puppet. You wanted every woman he loved to sink into Hell with you.
Because you feel if you’re in Hell, you can’t stand to see anyone else better off, you can’t stand the sight of others’ clean gazes. You want everyone to accompany you, right?"
Just as she said, some people, when they are worse off than others, become envious, envious of those better off than them, and that resentment fuels their desire for revenge.
Such people simply cannot bear to see others do better than themselves.
"Yes, you understand so well, it seems you’re the same kind of person."
Anran looked at Bai Zhi with a smile, as if she had seen right through to her heart.
And Bai Zhi looked back at her indifferently, her mouth curling into a slight smile.
"Of course I would envy those who are better off; it’s normal to feel envy, but jealousy is unnecessary. There are so many people better than me; if I were to be jealous of each one, wouldn’t I wear myself out?"
Bai Zhi would never say that just because others are better off, she has to surpass them. Why compare with others? Isn’t it enough to be happy
