Chapter 196 Years of Resentment
"Wu Mei? You mean Wu Mei, the wife of Wang Yuan, the municipal party secretary?" Yan Xiu'er asked casually.
Wu Zi panicked for a moment. She avoided Yan Xiu'er's direct gaze, her tongue tumbling out, "You... what are you saying? What Wu Mei? I don't know what you're talking about..."
However, her evasive manner only made her seem more suspicious. Yan Xiu'er narrowed her eyes dangerously and drawled, "Oh? Is that so..."
Wu Zi's eyes flickered, but she didn't dare to look at her. Over the years, her obedience and awe for Yan Xiu'er had been ingrained in her bones. Even now, she felt that she no longer needed to be afraid of her.
But deep down, she still unconsciously avoided her questions. At this moment, under Yan Xiuer's piercing gaze, Wu Zi couldn't help but panic.
Seeing her flustered appearance, Yan Xiu'er sneered. Whether it was Wu Mei or anyone else, it was truly a tragedy to have found such a useless partner as Wu Zi.
He's really someone who can't be brought to the table; he revealed his true colors so easily. What if he could actually bring them any useful information?
They really got a great deal, while the people who wanted to work with her must be crying their eyes out.
Yan Xiu'er feigned surprise. "Am I getting old and my hearing isn't good anymore? Ranran, did you just hear your Aunt Wu say the name Wu Mei?"
Ye Ran obediently picked up the conversation, "Of course I heard it, Auntie, you're not that old, you're still young."
Besides, Aunt Wu spoke so loudly and clearly just now, how could you possibly have misheard her?
Yan Xiu'er suddenly realized and joined Ye Ran in the conversation, "That's right! I told you I'm not old enough yet!"
But you, Zi, have you already developed dementia?
No wonder, you've been a housewife for so many years and haven't been involved in anything in society. You must be very lonely and sad.
"It's okay, we're best friends, I won't look down on you. You can tell me anything, and I'll help you out!"
Wu Zi was hit where it hurt. Of all the people who grew up with her, she was the only one who had accomplished nothing over the years.
But this isn't my fault; it's just that my family background isn't as good as others'!
Just like Yan Xiuer, if she didn't have a father who was the hospital director and a mother who was the department head, would she dare say that she would have a good life?
Does she even guarantee she'll marry a man like Lu Ting? Why has she always had all the good things in life?!
Where exactly am I inferior to her? Perhaps it's because I'm not as beautiful as her, or because I haven't studied as much art as she has.
But she always believed that if she could also be born into such a family, she would definitely be stronger than her!
Unconsciously, Wu Zi recalled all her resentment and jealousy over the years, and a hint of ferocity involuntarily crept onto her face...
Looking at the expression on her face, Yan Xiu'er felt her last shred of lingering affection vanish completely...
Yan Xiu'er asked in a flat, emotionless voice, "You really...you really don't intend to tell me anything?"
Wu Zi gave her a venomous look. "Is there anything I should tell you? Yes! I know Wu Mei."
So what? She's a good person, unlike you!
"Different from me? How are we different?" Yan Xiu'er sneered. Was she less intelligent than her?
