When Gu Yuandao returned home, his face looked very unpleasant, and he went to the yard to chop pigweed without saying a word.
After winning a victory, Nianyang happily took the teapot from the table and poured herself a cup of water to drink. Gu Youlan stared at Nianyang and asked, "Yangyang, what's wrong with you today? Did Jiang Tian say something to you again?"
She didn't believe for a moment that her useless sister could suddenly fight back on her own. Someone must have instigated it!
And who else could that person be other than Uncle and Auntie's daughter Jiang Tian?
That family favored Gu Nianyang the most, and especially Jiang Tian was full of tricks, often encouraging Gu Nianyang to resist her. She had painstakingly managed to brainwash Gu Nianyang to break off ties with Jiang Tian last time. Could it be that Gu Nianyang was persuaded by her again?
"Sis, what do you mean? I don't understand." Nianyang swallowed a few mouthfuls of water, feeling her throat relax, pretended to be clueless, and asked.
To better exact revenge in the future and return the torment suffered by the original owner, she wasn't going to tear her sister's face off just yet. It wouldn't be as fun that way.
Gu Youlan complained, "Yangyang, we are sisters, and if there's anything, you should talk to your sister. How can you listen to outsiders against your own family? Look at how ugly you made things today; how can your sister and parents face others in the future?"
Nianyang replied with a half-smile, "Sis, you know we're sisters, right? Then yesterday Mom specifically went to town to buy a lock to lock me in the room. Why didn't you help me? Do you really want me to drop out?"
Gu Youlan's expression changed slightly, and she said aggrievedly, "I didn't know Mom would do that either. But you never pass your exams, and maybe Mom thought you wouldn't get selected even if you tried, so she didn't want you to waste time."
Hmm, a very convincing and strong reason. This white lotus really knows how to talk; no wonder the original owner was deceived and manipulated by her so badly in the previous life.
Nianyang covered the coldness in her eyes and chuckled, "Alright, then I'll believe you for now. But sis, didn't you say you would give me half of the new clothes, hair ties, and snowflake cream? You'd better hand them over now!"
Gu Youlan's expression became stiff.
"What's wrong, sis? Weren't you very forthcoming in front of everyone just now? Are you regretting it now?" Nianyang toyed with her fingers, enjoying the feeling of exploiting the white lotus.
"Of course not, I'll go get them for you now." Gu Youlan forced a smile at Nianyang and unwillingly divided half of her clothes, hair ties, and snowflake cream from her room, then she laid on the table and cried quietly, as if she was terribly wronged.
If it were the original owner seeing Gu Youlan cry at this moment, she would definitely go to her and comfort her, returning everything she held in her hands. But now...
Nianyang didn't even glance at Gu Youlan once, hugging the items in her arms and returning to her own room.
Gu Youlan cried for a while but didn't receive any comforting tenderness from Nianyang, she raised her head and realized Nianyang had left. Frustrated, she gritted her teeth, "Gu Nianyang, you just wait!"
★
Entering her room, Nianyang carelessly discarded Gu Youlan's belongings onto the floor.
In her previous life, she was used to seeing good things, so how could she fancy Gu Youlan's trash? Only that white lotus would consider it treasure; she wanted those things just to annoy Gu Youlan.
Nianyang had been marching nonstop since arriving today, tormenting the scum for the original owner. Now her nerves relaxed, and fatigue from the high fever swept over her, so she quickly lay down on the bed to rest.
It's just that the environment of this room was too poor, and the wooden bedboard beneath her hurt Nianyang's bones. Fortunately, Nianyang had completed countless border missions in her past life, sleeping on trees and stone roads. How could she not endure this?
Moreover, this family was extremely poor. In her past life, Nianyang was accustomed to eating and wearing good things. Now throwing her back to the liberation era all of a sudden was a bit hard to reconcile.
But it was also good to take it as a change of lifestyle.
In her past life, she worked tirelessly to expand her company and became the wealthiest person in the country, constantly running around and exhausting herself every day.
Living this life again, Nianyang doesn't want to live so laboriously. She only wants to study traditional medicine simply and carry forward the legacy of her ancestors.
Thinking about this, Nianyang fell asleep in a daze. Suddenly, she felt her heart burning fiercely. When she opened her eyes, she was engulfed by a flash of white light and swept into a vortex.
