Ye Youran looked in the direction of her finger and saw a woman in a long dress charmingly standing in the men’s clothing area.
She was already a penniless woman who had to bow her head to borrow money from her ex-boyfriend and completely discard her pride as a former young lady of the Ye family. But why did it look like the woman now was still as gorgeous, charismatic and high above the rest?
Ye Youran clenched her fists tightly until her nails were deeply embedded in her palm.
Just when she found it hard to retract her stare, Lu Yingying said again, “Youran, why is she here?”
“I don’t know.”
These three words were almost squeezed out one word at a time. Ye Youran’s pretty face was stretched tightly, and then she loosened her fist and relaxed her shoulders. She smiled brightly and walked over.
“Yingying, let’s go over and say hello to my sister.”
Banxia had turned two circles and had yet to take a particular liking to anything. She was about to go somewhere else when she suddenly heard the sound of high heels approaching her. Then, she heard the iconic female voice that she hated so much.
“I have seen people who don’t know their limit, but you’ve really exceeded my expectations.”
Lu Yingying embraced her chest with her hands, smiling gorgeously, but her eyes showed dense ridicule and mockery.
“You’re already so poor that you can’t even afford to pay for your sister’s surgery, yet you’re still in such a high-end shopping mall to idle around arrogantly. Ye Banxia, don’t you have any shame? Is it possible that having two glances can satisfy your vanity and make you feel comfortable?”
Her voice wasn’t small and could be said to carry an unscrupulous arrogance. More than one person heard this discussion, including the clerk just now, and also the guests who were gathered in twos and threes in the store.
Although the truly high-end rich people never entertained such disputes and would turn around indifferently as if they hadn’t seen a thing just like Mo Chenyan, there were obviously a few people like Lu Yingying in the mall.
Although they wouldn’t look over directly, their eyes would always glance over.
Banxia glanced blankly at the two people in front of her. Ye Youran’s hands were full, but Lu Yingying was just empty-handed.
“Your news is old news, Ms. Lu.”
She just looked coldly at Lu Yingying.
“Hanyan has even completed her operation, but you are still hung up over the operation fee, don’t you feel that you are a little ignorant? Didn’t the goddess by your side tell you that someone rushed to give me money and I didn’t want it?”
She didn’t say who it was, but Ye Youran’s face suddenly stiffened.
Didn’t she mean Li Hanchuan? Ye Banxia’s words seem to be attacking Lu Yingying, but wasn’t it drawing cut on her heart with a knife too?
Banxia smiled faintly. “Furthermore, it’s another matter if I idle around here arrogantly. You and Ye Youran spending money and being distressed over it has happened often and everyone in the circle knows about this. Just look at today… it seems to be the case too. Ms. Lu, if you don’t have the capital and still delusionally pretend to be a goddess, you’ll have to be scolded heavily by your father when you go home, no?”
After being with Mo Chenyan for so long, her mouth had become even more poisonous. Banxia blinked and felt deeply saddened for her.
“You… Ye Banxia, what are you talking about!”
Lu Yingying pointed at her fiercely, glaring at her.
Although she did have such a ridiculous experience before, she had been in junior high school at that time. She had bought a few more clothes just because she didn’t want to be embarrassed in front of Youran, but had been beaten by her dad when she came home and happened to be seen by a classmate…
But how long ago was that?
Ye Banxia even dared to bring up her dark past!
She gritted her teeth and said fiercely, “That was only because my test scores were not good, so my father punished me!”
“Oh, really?”
Banxia nodded indifferently, and it wasn’t obvious whether she believed it or not, as she only had a cool smile on her lips.
She was about to leave, but Lu Yingying once again stood in front of her. She grabbed her hand firmly and would not let her go.
“Ye Banxia, our family was built by my dad from scratch. It certainly isn’t as big as your Ye family’s business. But even if your family’s business was big, in the end, didn’t it go bankrupt overnight? What’s so great about it?”
Annoyed by her, Lu Yingying scolded her angrily.
Banxia narrowed her eyes and suddenly flung her hand away with great force. She continued staring coldly at her, her lips curling up in an unnoticeable arc, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes and looked cold and emotionless.
She didn’t care what other people said about her, but she couldn’t allow them to talk about her grandpa’s heart and soul like that.
Ye Youran was also surnamed Ye, anyway. Even though Grandpa didn’t like her much, he had still raised her for many years, but here she was, letting outsiders slander the Ye family. Furthermore, without her tacit acceptance and instigation, how would Lu Yingying dare to talk about her family like that?
Banxia sneered. “Aren’t you afraid of hurting your goddess’ heart with these words?”
Her long black curly hair hung on the shoulder, elegant and charming but with an indescribable chill. “She was also the Ye family’s third young lady.”
Lu Yingying’s expression changed abruptly, and she quickly turned back to look at Ye Youran, visibly upset.
“Youran, don’t listen to her. She’s just intentionally trying to drive a wedge between us!”
Ye Youran ignored her and went straight to Banxia. “Second Sister, I know you don’t like me, but…”
“If you know I hate you, then stop.”
Banxia interrupted her without changing her expression. “I know that I’ve never concealed my hatred towards you, so can you please stop pretending that you don’t know about it in the future and don’t cry and pretend to be close to me. You can just wait until Li Hanchuan is here to use those silly tricks. Otherwise, I’m afraid that your tears will dry up if you cry too much and won’t be able to flow when you really need to use it.”
Ye Youran’s face was suddenly white and pale.
She knew that Ye Banxia never placed importance on her, but she didn’t expect her to be so sharp-tongued. And in front of so many people!
Also, what did she mean she was originally called the third young lady of the Ye family? She was the true third young lady of the Ye family!
Ye Youran sobbed. “Second Sister, you are really too much…”
Lu Yingying’s anger rumbled in her. “Ye Banxia, you can’t even afford to buy the sleeves of a dress. What qualifications do you have to place nobody in your eyes?”
Before she finished talking, she raised her hand suddenly to slap Banxia.
Banxia held her wrist in time and sneered. “Can’t afford a sleeve?”
“It’s true, anyway!” Lu Yingying snorted dismissively. She struggled to withdraw her wrist but was held with great force and so was unable to move.
She felt extreme annoyance in her heart. She gritted her teeth and said, “If you have the ability, you can buy two pieces of clothes now and show me!”
