Chapter 311: To Envy Is Human Nature (1)
Gu Chenyi looked at her with an increasingly sinister expression. That’s right, it would be useless no matter how hard she begged him! He was not going to give her an easy life!
“Why do you treat Xiao Huan that way? She’s been so kind to you!” This was something that Gu Chenyi had been meaning to ask Lin Qingya. And since things were out in the open now, there was no harm in asking.
Xiao Huan had always treated her kindly, so how could she harm Xiao Huan through such vicious means?! How could she treat Xiao Huan that way?!
They were cla.s.smates for three years in high school. Gu Chenyi knew how kind Mu Huan had been to Lin Qingya. She would always have the girl in mind whenever there was good news or something nice to share.
And it was precisely because she had been so kind to Lin Qingya that he too extended his kindness and trust to the girl, thinking that surely this was a good person; Mu Huan wouldn’t have been so kind to her otherwise.
Eventually, the priorities were reversed.
“Because of envy. Envy causes a person to be depraved, to go insane, to turn ugly. From the time she was young, Xiao Huan had never needed to work hard for all the good things. But me? Even if I put in all my effort and treaded cautiously or fought with all my might, it’s useless. I like you so much and fought so hard for you. I can do anything for your sake, but after all that I’ve done, you don’t like me one bit and have only the already-married Mu Huan in your mind!”
Lin Qingya was envious of Mu Huan, very envious! Every day, her hope was that Mu Huan would meet with ill fate and suffer, but nothing of that sort happened and Mu Huan was fine. In fact, her life was getting better.
And this made Lin Qingya even more envious of her!
“You fought so hard for me? What did you do for me?” Gu Chenyi said sarcastically.
Did her so-called hard fight for him mean deceiving him?
“Can you not feel my attentiveness to you? Can’t you see it?” Lin Qingya looked at him with an expression of disbelief.
It was obvious on her face: You can say that I’m evil, you can say that I’m in the wrong, you can say whatever you want, but you cannot say that I don’t like you!
“I can only see that you’re working hard for money. You’d do anything to marry into a wealthy family!”
“I’m not denying that I like having money. Initially, I liked you because of your background. But who in this world doesn’t like money? Which girl doesn’t have hopes of marrying into a family with a good status? It’s the same with you — didn’t you like Xiao Huan initially because of her looks? If Xiao Huan was an ugly duckling, someone whose looks disgusted you, would you have liked her?
“You wouldn’t! Actually, there is no difference between girls who wish to marry into a good family and men who wish to date a pretty girl. Hence, I don’t feel that I did anything wrong!” Because Lin Qingya wanted to scheme against people, she had made it a point to study psychology.
Because she had put much effort into learning, she excelled at the subject. She was adept at understanding a person’s psychology and making an accurate hit.
“It’s not wrong to want to marry into a good family, and it’s not wrong of you to love money! But you’ve strived for your own progress at the expense of your friends and of people who trusted you, and that is wrong! What do you take all of us for? Fools?”
To be played around by her like this!
“I don’t wish to be like this. If I were born wealthy, I wouldn’t have had to expend any effort into getting what I want. Why would I do all these things? Privileged people wouldn’t need to work hard; if one can be the good guy, who would want to be a bad guy?” Lin Qingya said with a bitter smile.
“There are many people who choose to be evil when they can be good, and you are one of them! What do you mean by getting what one wants without expending any effort? You were Xiao Huan’s good friend once upon a time. Don’t you know how many jobs she held?”
