"She speaks these flattering words, but we all know she has cursed Eleven countless times in her heart."
Jin Xiangbei is wonderful, and she loves him tremendously, but she has to admit, as good as he is, he canāt surpass Gu Liancheng, a man of great power in Xicheng. His name Gu Liancheng itself signifies a power akin to kingship.
What kind of damned luck did Fang Eleven have to end up with Gu Liancheng?
"Enough with the act," Ye Fei exposed Yao Ruoshuiās pretence immediately, "Not a truthful word comes out of your mouth! Yao Ruoshui, doesnāt living like this tire you out?"
"Feiāerāā" Eleven tried to pull her away, it wasnāt worth entering a dispute with them.
"And you, Jin Xiangbei, do you think too highly of her innocence? Did you really believe that what happened back then was solely your motherās doing? Could Yao Ruoshui really be oblivious? Itās clear they were all in on it together, even going to the nauseating extent of informing Eleven to witness the event. Truly absurd!"
"Hush Feiāer! Enough."
"Who is to blame isnāt important anymore," said Jin Xiangbei, "Iāve already lost Eleven."
"OK then, wish you happiness!" said Ye Fei, flaunting their affectionate relationship, her arm draped over Elevenās shoulder, "I wish I had Elevenās luck. To marry such a loving husband. Oh?" Ye Fei winked at Eleven.
Eleven didnāt feel the need to compete for these meaningless vanities, especially when the reality was that she and Gu Liancheng had even divorced. There was no point in flaunting this affection.
Seeing Eleven, both mothers felt a pang in their hearts and hurried over, "Fang Eleven! What are you thinking of doing now?"
"Iām not planning on doing anything, Lady Yao."
"Let me tell you Fang Eleven, Xiangbei and Ruoshui are already married. Stop lingering around!"
Eleven was about to retort when Ye Fei stepped forward: "Lady Yao, make sure you know whoās the one lingering. Does our Eleven need to cling to anyone? Having a wonderful Mr. Gu available yet not clinging to him, then who do you suppose she should cling to? Watch your words, donāt say I didnāt warn you!"
Mother Jin quickly grabbed her, saying, "Last time you werenāt here, you didnāt see... Gu Liancheng really treats this girl very well, you better not provoke. More trouble is not as good as less."
Mother Jin has always been domineering. The fact that she could say this made Eleven realize how influential power can be.
Though Gu Liancheng was younger, his strength and influence were undeniable.
If Gu Liancheng was already untouchable, having Ye Fei who supported her, was an additional force. Everybody knew Ye Feiās position in the Ye family; whoever she supports is tantamount to the support of the Ye family.
Ye Mo called, and Ye Fei went to a quiet corner to answer the phone. Eleven checked her watch and saw it was time, so she went to stand in line with her items.
Her gaze unintentionally swept to the end of shelf number 11, where she saw the figure of someone before it suddenly disappeared.
Was it Bai Xiaoxiao?
Her hatred for her was baseless. Jin Xiangbei already belonged to Yao Ruoshui, if she should hate anyone, it should be her.
Bai Xiaoxiao seemed to be avoiding someone. Eleven had a feeling that it was Jin Xiangbei she was avoiding.
"I think I saw Bai Xiaoxiao."
"Who? Where is she? What does she plan to do?"
"Donāt panic, thereās nothing to worry about, youāre here after all."
She might have been mistaken though because she didnāt see any suspicious figures afterwards.
...
This was Ye Moās first time at Gu Lianchengās house, yet he behaved as if he were in his own home, with no restraint.
Eleven didnāt expect him to stand on ceremony. She was actually hoping he could help with the guests that were coming over.
