EBE Chapter 188 Regret
Chapter 188 Regret
Looking at the paranoid and sinister Gu Rou, Gu Jin suddenly became interested.
She simply sat down, ready to explore Gu Rou's train of thought.
"If you want to say that I feel relieved, then yes, but if you want to say that I hate you..." Gu Jin looked at Gu Rou calmly, "You are not worthy of my hatred."
Gu Rou was hurt by Gu Jin's indifference. She would rather Gu Jin be complacent with his success than not care about her at all.
"If I hadn't married Xie Qing for you, would you have the luck you have today?" Gu Rou finally vented all her anger, "Xie Qing is a heartless hypocrite, he only loves himself and has no one else in his heart.
But Xie Ran is gentle, considerate and capable. If I had known this, I would not have married you!"
Gu Jin raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Xie Qing was able to abandon his engagement for the sake of the crown prince's position. Do you think he can be a good person?"
Gu Rou choked, and Gu Jin continued to expose her past without mercy, "It's not that you don't know, but you think Xie Qing betrayed me instead of you, and you think that since you are useful to me, Xie Qing would never do this to you.
But you overestimated yourself and underestimated Xie Qing's meanness. You regretted it so much that you can only divert your hatred to calm your mind."
"But is the problem really only with Xie Qing?"
Gu Rou's eyes were grim, "What do you mean?"
"You don't really think that if you marry Xie Ran you can live the life I have today, do you?" Gu Jin's eyes were bright, and she had a kind of dazzling confidence that Gu Rou had never seen before. "Everything I have is what I deserve. If you had married Xie Ran, you would have been in mourning for him a long time ago."
Even if she married Xie Qing, she would never be led by him. At most, she would just take his property and leave.
Gu Rou wanted everything, but in the end she ended up with nothing.
"But I just can't accept it!" Gu Rou threw everything on the table to the ground like a madman, "Why do I have such a miserable life while you have enjoyed all the blessings!"
Gu Jin looked at her coldly and said, "Gu Rou, what do you want?
Do you want to live a good life, or do you want to see me live a bad life? "
Gu Rou stared at Gu Jin blankly, and then she heard her cold voice like a biting wind that chilled her to the core, but it also made her brain gradually clear.
"You married the eldest son of the Marquis's family and now you have become the Crown Prince's Consort as you wished. You have surpassed many people, and there are countless people out there who envy you.
But you still feel it’s not enough, you wish everyone except you would be unlucky and miserable, that way you would stand out as being happier.”
Gu Jin spoke each word with a cold and heartless tone, "But Gu Rou, on what basis?
We are all human beings. Why should others live according to your wishes?
You don’t think about improving yourself, but only want to drag others into the quagmire, but you don’t know that in the end, you will be the only one stuck in the quagmire! ”
Gu Jin got up. There were two different kinds of people sleeping in the same bed. Xie Qing was despicable and Gu Rou was not much better.
“Once the Qingyun Marquis’ Mansion is completed, we will move out, and then there will be no one to compete with you.
If you are still living such a miserable life at that time, then you can only blame yourself for being useless!"
Looking at Gu Jin's receding back, Gu Rou finally couldn't help but burst into tears. Her tears flowed into her wounds and stung her, but she didn't care at all.
Gu Jin was right, they each had their own lives, why did she have to compare herself with Gu Jin?
She recalled carefully that when she was a child, she clearly felt that her older sister was very pitiful for losing her parents.
But her mother told her again and again that her chance had come. Without her uncle and aunt, Gu Jin, the legitimate daughter of the marquis's mansion, would completely lose her value, and instead, she, the second young lady, would be more outstanding.
Later, her mother praised Gu Jin to death and made him a well-known fool in the capital, while she became a talented woman with some fame under the contrast of Gu Jin.
From then on, she developed the habit of stepping on Gu Jin to show off herself, as if every misery of Gu Jin would bring her greater glory.
But later, Gu Jin changed his personality. Every time she tried to push Gu Jin into the quagmire, she ended up sinking deeper and deeper herself.
If she had not made things difficult for Gu Jin after getting married, but instead focused on managing her own life, would everything have been different?
The more Gu Rou thought about it, the more she regretted her decision and she almost fainted from crying.
Gu Jin turned a deaf ear to this. She didn't hate Gu Rou, but she would never have a chaste heart towards her either.
The annual academy examination is about to begin. This is the first round of screening for the imperial examination. Students who pass the examination can become scholars and participate in the autumn provincial examination three years later.
Gu Jin planned to let the older students in the school try it out, not for grades but to improve their psychological quality. However, she didn't know that her casual decision would soon set off a huge wave in the capital...
