Chapter 1750 Brother Tianmao 3
Fubao was puzzled, Su Jiaojiao had mocked her for dressing like a country bumpkin, and she remembered it well, wanting to confront Su Jiaojiao.
"Why, Mom? I just want to show her."
Feng Qingxue smiled and said, "There are some things we must stick to without wavering, but there are also things not worth being too petty about, otherwise we might lower ourselves. A girl like Su Jiaojiao—I haven’t met her, but I can guess that besides relying on her looks, she must be narrow-minded. She’ll think you’re deliberately provoking by wearing a dress in front of her and will surely hold a grudge against you."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Our family isn’t afraid of theirs. She’s just the granddaughter of Su Shuai, her parents are of average rank, while you are the daughter of a general. Our family also has many powerful friends and relatives, with great connections. But, if she schemes and you know nothing about it, you won’t be able to guard against it. She’s a local bully, and we’re just visitors, here for a few days before we leave. Besides, if people knew you made a prettier dress just to show off because Su Jiaojiao mocked you for not having a dress, they’d say you’re too petty for your age."
Being petty isn’t a good thing.
Fubao, being well-read and more knowledgeable than her peers, naturally understood the meaning of the words. She pressed her cherry red lips and frowned, saying, "But I get angry thinking about her mocking me."
"What’s there to be angry about? You won’t lose a piece of flesh. To put it simply, she’s just jealous because you’re prettier than her, feeling threatened, worried you’d steal her spotlight." Feng Qingxue smiled, "When she mocked you, there must have been others present. Those who heard it would just say she’s acerbic, purposely causing trouble, unable to see others doing well. Once such words spread from one person to ten and ten to a hundred, her reputation will worsen. Apart from making herself feel better by mocking you for a moment, she gains nothing."
