Princess Mo indeed began to treat her differently, very kindly.
Fang Tiantian sneered, "Yeah, it seems you’re aware. Princess Mo has never tolerated anyone better or more special than herself around her. Previously, Young Master Yu really disliked Princess Mo, yet he treated you so specially, of course she couldn’t swallow her pride."
"So Princess Mo specifically sought you out to show Young Master Yu the fundamental difference between you and her," Fang Tiantian said, looking at Gu Wenjuan with a face full of mockery. "Young Master Yu originally liked you a lot; you know that, right?"
Gu Wenjuan’s heart once again skipped a beat.
She knew. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ noᴠelfire.net
"But then Princess Mo stole that special something that was exclusively yours," He Yong’er added, shaking her head. "If you were by Young Master Yu’s side, you would already be living a good life by now; it’s all fate."
Gu Wenjuan’s heart raced upon hearing their words.
Gu Wenjuan didn’t speak; instead, she picked up a cup and took a sip of her drink.
"Now Princess Mo has bound Young Master Yu with a non-existent child. I really feel for Young Master Yu," Fang Tiantian gritted her teeth. "Remember on the cruise? Do you know why I drugged you? We had no grudges and no conflicts of interest. Why would I target you for no reason? You must have thought about it, right?"
Gu Wenjuan’s hand holding the cup trembled, and she looked up at her.
Fang Tiantian: "It’s all because of Princess Mo. If it weren’t for her, I would never have done such a thing. She made me drug you, made Young Master Yu see you in a sorry state, then used a child to threaten him, forbidding him from getting close to you, even threatening with death!"
Gu Wenjuan found it hard to believe. "That time, it was Young Master Yu who arranged for a doctor to save me, and the doctor was one of Princess Mo’s people... she was very good to me."
"That just shows how naive you are," Fang Tiantian said with frustration. "Why on earth would Princess Mo bring a doctor with her for no reason? It’s because she knew you’d be drugged with an aphrodisiac and then Young Master Yu would ’save’ you with his body."
With his body, save her?
Unpleasant images suddenly flooded Gu Wenjuan’s mind.
Seeing her more shaken than before, Fang Tiantian struck while the iron was hot, "Without Princess Mo’s interference, you and Young Master Yu would have been together long ago. Even if we take a step back, if it weren’t for Princess Mo’s scheming, you wouldn’t have been drugged and appeared so undignified in front of Young Master Yu. She brought you to the cruise to highlight her goodness and your pathetic, lowly state."
He Yong’er pulled at Fang Tiantian. "Why would you say that? Princess Mo was good to us before."
"Don’t be foolish. She first brought down Linglong, then it was me, and you’re next!" Fang Tiantian said through clenched teeth. "After dealing with you, Gu Wenjuan will be next. Do you think you’re her good friend? She just wants to flaunt her self-worth, letting everyone know that she’s a high and mighty Princess, and we’re nothing but her foils!"
"Especially you, Gu Wenjuan," Fang Tiantian looked at Gu Wenjuan, "Young Master Yu must be starting to tire of you by now, right? It’s all part of Princess Mo’s plan, step by step. She is convinced you don’t dare oppose her, so she never takes you seriously. You should be more proactive."
Gu Wenjuan’s mind was in turmoil.
She knew their logic was twisted, yet she couldn’t help but feel that they were somehow right.
