Chapter 447: Chapter 447 Your Happiness Comes from Him (6)
Dong Xin Yan believed that she had been patient enough, but if the other party continued to push her, she was not a pushover to be easily bullied.
Her hand, without hesitation, shook off Yuan Shi’s hand. Her small face lifted, her big eyes meeting Yuan Shi’s fearlessly as she said in a deep voice, "Yuan Shi, what exactly do you want?"
Yuan Shi looked at her angry little face and found it more pleasing than her previous passive endurance.
Gu Ningyi fell in love with her in the first place because she was so genuine, right? Everyone else was afraid of him, tolerated him, yielded to him, and praised him. Only Dong Xin Yan disliked him, wasn’t afraid of him, and even dared to hit him.
Clearly just a driver’s daughter, yet unafraid of anything.
To be honest, she had always hated her since childhood, hated how despite being so poor, she lived so happily. She also hated her because Gu Ningyi didn’t like her, yet always kept her by his side. She hated her even more because she never envied them.
Even though she wasn’t pretty, had no money, and nothing at all.
Now thinking about it, maybe it wasn’t hate at all, but envy. Envying her... for being able to live true to herself, without caring about others’ gazes, while they, as ladies of noble families, had to live according to the adults’ wishes, always under others’ scrutiny.
The thing she envied the most, naturally... was that she had won Gu Ningyi’s love, love without regrets.
So, she hated her even more, disliked her even more.
She didn’t want to see her happy, not at all!
Yuan Shi bit her lower lip hard before letting out a slight chuckle, "No, I didn’t mean anything. It’s just that seeing you so happy makes me unhappy, that’s all."
Dong Xin Yan had always thought that Yuan Shi was one of those typical noble ladies who wore a mask and always maintained her refined manner.
Never did she imagine, she could be so brutally honest in her sarcasm.
Dong Xin Yan was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to be angry or to laugh. After a moment, she spoke helplessly, "Lady Yuan, have I ever offended you? If so, I apologize... ."
Before she could finish, Yuan Shi interrupted her directly, "You haven’t offended me, and you don’t need to apologize to me. The one you should apologize to is someone else."
"..."
Dong Xin Yan was really getting more confused the more she listened, "Lady Yuan, what do you mean exactly, can you clarify? Who have I wronged?"
Yuan Shi looked at Dong Xin Yan’s puzzled expression, and the anger in her heart surged up uncontrollably.
She glared at her fiercely, her red lips moving slightly, enunciating each word, "Dong Xin Yan, are you truly clueless, or just pretending to be? Gu Ningyi suddenly announced his engagement to me, and just like that, your rumors were clarified. Now you can happily marry your fiancé. So, do you think all of this is just natural?"
Yuan Shi’s words were truly unexpected to Dong Xin Yan. She was stunned for a moment, her dark eyes slightly contracting, "You... what do you mean?"
"Ha, looks like you do have a clue."
Yuan Shi’s eyes were full of sarcasm, and her tone wasn’t any better, "If you really want me to spell it out clearly, fine, then I’ll tell you clearly."
She looked at her, fixed her gaze on her, her voice slightly rising, "Dong Xin Yan, listen carefully, all the happiness you have now is entirely because of Ning Yi. He proposed to me just to help clear your rumors. He even approached your future mother-in-law personally to explain that there’s nothing between you two!"
