“For the sake of your school fees, and so that you didn’t have to be at the mercy of your stepfather, for the sake of her grandmother, she worked without resting! You used her hard-earned money to buy the best for yourself, and on top of that, you schemed to steal her boyfriend!
“And you call that having no choice? You have the audacity to say you don’t wish to be like that?” In all of his bright and splendid life, he had never met anyone as shameless as Lin Qingya. A person who was so shameless and yet acted so bold!
How did someone ever become like this?!
“If I were as capable as Xiao Huan, I would want to look after her too!” Besides being envious of Mu Huan’s background, she was envious of the girl’s intelligence and capability. She was a much slower learner than Mu Huan and was exhausted just holding one job. Mu Huan, on the other hand, held a few jobs and remained energetic and full of life every day.
She too wanted to learn martial arts so that she’d never be bullied again, but she was just unable to master it no matter how hard she tried; whereas Mu Huan, while working at the Taekwondo school, had learned Taekwondo, as well as Judo, boxing, and Sanda fighting. She had never spent any money to learn all these, and yet she made better progress than the paying students of those schools. All the instructors were fond of her as a result and taught her for free what they taught the graduating students of their schools.
Mu Huan was so busy every day that she would often skip class, and yet she managed to do well in her examinations!
Whereas, no matter how hard Lin Qingya tried in her studies, she could not catch up to Mu Huan!
How was she to take this?!
If she had Mu Huan’s talent, would she have needed to spend so much effort scheming? She would have been able to give herself a good future without having to depend on others!
The heavens were unfair and gave Mu Huan everything good, so why couldn’t she vie with her?
“Do you know why the heavens did not give you that sort of talent?”
Lin Qingya asked immediately, “Why?”
“Because you have an evil nature. Someone like you is destined to be a piece of trash! You will never be like Xiao Huan! No matter how you plot and scheme, you will never hold a candle to her! Your existence is like foul trash!”
Lin Qingya’s fists tightened. Of all things, she hated hearing people say that she was not as good as Mu Huan, and this caused her to lose her composure. “What do you mean I have an evil nature?! If, in your journey of development, someone had kept suppressing you and people had never taken notice of you because of her existence, what would you have done? You would have become even more envious than I am!”
“In my journey of development, there was such a person, and that was my uncle. From the time we were young, everyone would rave about how perfect my uncle was and they would comment about how different we were. But I only idolized him and never envied him! And Li Meng and Xiao Huan had been classmates since grade school. She, too, had been around Xiao Huan all the time. So why didn’t she end up envying Xiao Huan or doing harm to her?”
“That is because Li Meng doesn’t like you! If she did, and she did so much that she wanted you, if she were crazy over you, she too would be envious of Xiao Huan! And she too would find all means to steal you from Xiao Huan!
“Furthermore, I do believe that you were never envious of your uncle before, but is that still the case? Don’t you envy him now? Don’t you wish that you could use all means to take Mu Huan away from him and have her for yourself?”
Gu Chenyi’s expression turned ugly at once!
“You do, don’t you?! You wish you could use all sorts of means to steal Mu Huan from him! You must be so envious of him that it’s driving you crazy! Hence, you should understand how I’m feeling! You should know how uncontrollable that consuming sense of envy is!
“How would anyone not be envious of someone else possessing what he himself yearns for? Unless you don’t really want it, and you don’t really like it that much!”
Lin Qingya was like a demon, drawing out the suppressed darkness inside him, then telling him that it wasn’t evil, it was only natural.
