Chapter 474 - 456: Sudden Change
After distancing herself from Jenny and Huang Chenghou, Ye Man took the initiative to explain to Gu Feng the "grudge" she had with Jenny during high school, and then she pouted, "I’ve always been baffled about what I did to provoke her; why did she target me? I didn’t come from a distinguished family, and my grades were just above average. The luckiest I got was that I underperformed during the college entrance exams and ended up in a decent college, but why did that make me so unpopular?"
"Some people are just naturally incompatible. Since that’s the case, there’s no need for you to keep dwelling on her. It would only show that you care about her," Gu Feng narrowed his eyes, reminding himself to have someone look into this Jenny when he got a chance, to resolve the doubts that his wife had harbored for years. If that person persisted in being ungrateful, she couldn’t blame him if he played dirty.
"Care about her? To be honest, I really don’t want to deal with her at all, yet she slanders me behind my back while pretending to be close when we’re face to face, stepping on me as if it brings her pleasure. Who does that?"
Ye Man was still a little irate, but soon she started laughing joyfully, pulling Gu Feng into conversation and beginning to vent, "But today was truly gratifying. You have no idea how they treated me before. The moment you showed up, that man’s attitude changed drastically, and I saw Jenny’s face—it was priceless. Actually, she doesn’t even go by Jenny; she just didn’t like her old-fashioned real name..."
"What happened before?" Gu Feng was eager to know the details.
Ye Man elaborated, and as she spoke, her story grew longer. Gu Feng didn’t find her chatter annoying at all; in fact, he listened very attentively. The topic was still ongoing by the time they were supposed to meet with Huang Xiaoxiao and Ma Qin.
Huang Xiaoxiao and Ma Qin also knew Jenny, and they were aware that Ye Man’s pleasant high school years had been disrupted by her, to the point where she couldn’t make any close friends in her own class.
After a hearty venting session, Ye Man finally managed to relieve the frustration that had accumulated in her heart over the years.
