Upon hearing this answer, Wu Zi visibly stiffened for a moment, but quickly recovered, "That's good..."
Seeing her like that, Yan Xiu'er sneered inwardly. In the past, when they went out to eat, Wu Zi had never made her wait. She always arrived half an hour early. Now, does she feel confident?
He actually started playing these petty tricks on her; it's really beneath him.
How come she never realized before that she was such a despicable person?
Wu Zi felt uncomfortable under Yan Xiu'er's direct gaze. "Xiu'er... why are you staring at me like that? Is there something strange about me?"
Yan Xiu'er smiled slightly, "No, I just think you look very beautiful today."
I forgot to ask you, why are you suddenly dressed up so nicely? Did your husband suddenly strike it rich?
Didn't he used to dislike you buying new clothes? This outfit you're wearing today doesn't look cheap...
Upon hearing this, a hint of smugness flashed in Wu Zide's eyes. "Him? He's just the same old him! I bought these clothes myself; it has nothing to do with him."
Yan Xiu'er became even more certain that something was wrong with Wu Zi, even though Wu Zi had grown up with her.
However, she came from a poor family and married Lao Hu, whose family was well-off, through her family's connections.
Originally, family background wasn't a very important factor for two people to live together, but unfortunately, she couldn't stand on her own two feet, so over the years...
She lived in constant fear in the Hu family, and was extremely obedient to Old Hu, never daring to utter a word of dissent.
She had initially thought that Lao Hu was in the wrong and had even said a few words to him in private, but who knew that Lao Hu himself was also suffering from her actions.
Old Hu himself said that he didn't particularly care about his wife's family background when he got married, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to marry her.
He originally married her because he liked her, and he wanted to live a good life with her after marriage, but who knew she would be so ungrateful.
No matter what she was asked to do, she always looked terrified. Outsiders who didn't know better would think that the Hu family had bullied her so badly that Old Hu was afraid to bring anyone home.
After she found out, she tried to persuade Wu Zi several times, but when she saw that Wu Zi wouldn't listen, she gave up, thinking that it was just her nature.
But seeing her like this now, that's not how it is...
A sharp, dark light flashed in Yan Xiu'er's eyes. Don't think she didn't know why she had suddenly become so smug.
He must have gained a lot by betraying her, right? If that's the case, then don't blame her for disregarding past relationships and making him vomit up everything he's gained...
Yan Xiu'er smiled insincerely and said, "Ah Zi, why do you seem to be unusually busy lately?"
"Have you made some new friends? You've only ever had me as a friend all your life. Who else can you really connect with?"
Yan Xiuer's slightly questioning tone indeed provoked Wu Zi, who said excitedly, "Of course!"
And my new friend has quite a background! She's got connections; her name is Wu Mei, and she even shares my surname!
As soon as Wu Zi finished speaking, she realized something was wrong and quickly shut her mouth.
Yan Xiuer and Ye Ran had heard everything she just said, and when they heard the familiar name Wu Mei, their eyes both flickered...
