Gu Wenjuan always desperately tried to forget her origins and past experiences.
But it seemed that the pettiness she carried in her bones had never been properly addressed.
Gu Wenjuan’s smile became awkward for a moment.
He Yong’er, on the other hand, seemed completely oblivious as she said, "I know, you won’t change much in a short while, but still, you’ve got to learn."
"Learn?" Gu Wenjuan felt that this word was particularly unpleasant.
Mo Shu, due to his prestigious family background, had naturally developed a certain delicate air from a young age.
Everyone who saw Princess Mo would invariably compliment her grandeur. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Indeed, the noble air of Princess Mo was something she couldn’t conceal even with the smallest gesture.
But why did she, who wasn’t born with such qualities, have to learn them?
Gu Wenjuan felt once again that this world was inherently unfair.
Fang Tiantian interjected, "Of course you have to learn. Nobody is born an aristocrat, let alone someone who has entered this life halfway."
Gu Wenjuan felt even worse.
Upon hearing Fang Tiantian’s and He Yong’er’s words, another girl nearby expressed her disdain, "Why are you two being so nice to her? People with petty airs can learn all they want, but it’ll just be a poor imitation. Look at her, draped in brand-name clothes—what of it? She looks just like a nouveau riche."
Gu Wenjuan felt a tightness in her chest, it was extremely uncomfortable.
She wished she had never come here.
Gu Wenjuan felt the urge to leave.
He Yong’er said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Wen Nuan is our friend, and also a good friend of Princess Mo. She might not come from a great background, but she is very pretty!"
"Princess Mo?" The girl glanced at Gu Wenjuan. "Princess Mo has always been so aloof, never deigning to make friends. Even less so with someone like her. I bet she just sees her as a little mouse to tease when she’s in a good mood and to kick away when she’s not."
Gu Wenjuan’s eyes began to heat up, and she nearly burst into tears.
Fang Tiantian retorted, "Huh, Princess Mo treats everyone like that. Wen Nuan is no exception. Anyway, that woman is just a hypocritical drama queen."
"Ha! A drama queen indeed, but even the slightest favor from her is enough for you guys to revel in for a long time," the girl said, swinging her leg. "Especially for poor girls one, even the trash Princess Mo throws away would make her grateful, right?"
Gu Wenjuan’s hands were shaking.
Princess Mo had always been like that.
When in a good mood, she would toy with her, enjoying seeing her act all thankful, probably finding it very satisfying.
Poor her had been kept in the dark all this while, played for a fool.
She disdained Princess Mo’s charity.
Fang Tiantian quickly said, "Wen Nuan, don’t listen to her. She’s just blunt, but she’s a really good person. You might not know it from her behavior, but her mother is an etiquette master."
Gu Wenjuan looked up at her.
Fang Tiantian said, "There’s a tea party tomorrow afternoon; why don’t you join us?"
The girl looked at her with disdain and said, "She won’t understand even if she comes."
"How can you say I won’t understand? Don’t look down on people!" Gu Wenjuan immediately retorted, very angry, "It’s just my bad luck, not being born into a good family. If I had the same background and education as you, I definitely wouldn’t be worse off!"
Gu Wenjuan had been bottling up these words for a long time.
Saying them out loud, her tears finally fell.
It was just too unfair.
All because she didn’t land in the right womb.
