Chapter 183 – She’d never believe that her big brother was cursed! (3)
Chen Kexin was looking downstairs like she had seen a ghost. Her face alternated between red and white as though she was very angry.
“Pingting likes... likes Big Brother Huo?! That day...” Chen Kexin’s lips moved a little.
That day, Luo Pingting even brought up the fact that she had jokingly said she wanted to marry Big Brother Huo when she was a kid, trying to stir up her dislike toward Gu Shishi.
She had wondered back then how Luo Pingting was able to remember stuff that happened when they were kids. It was a memory that she had already forgotten.
So it was because that’s what Luo Pingting had wanted.
She liked Big Brother Huo, which was why she disliked Gu Shishi!
Which was why she tried to talk her into not like Gu Shishi as well...
Chen Kexin stood there in disbelief.
Everything that she had known and believed in had crumbled.
So that’s the kind of person her girlfriend was? Tricking her like she was a monkey and casually pitched her against Gu Shishi?!
And everything that she said about helping out Wushuang was just an excuse?
All this because Luo Pingting had her own ulterior motive!
The words that good girlfriends would help each other out was nothing but a big joke!
Chen Kexin realized how stupid she had been this entire time!
She turned and saw Gu Shishi standing next to her.
She blushed all of a sudden and felt very shameful about herself.
“I...I’m sorry. I didn’t know... I... I... apologize with the greatest sincerity.”
There were no excuses. The early education from her grandmother was a flop. She had recklessly listened to others without applying her own analysis and judgement. Especially these kinds of personal attacks. She just believed them ever so casually.
Chen Kexin lowered her head. Came to think about it. Both Luo Pingting and Gu Wushuang’s words were full of holes.
Even Luo Pingting, who was fond of Huo Sishen, dared not voice her interest nor dare to tell her family that she wanted to marry him.
Then what about Gu Shishi who came later on?
She was brave enough to have fallen in love with Huo Sishen in the few days that she had returned to the Gu’s? That was obviously impossible!
How helpless was she to be forced to get engaged to Big Brother Huo? To be forced to move into Big Brother Huo’s mansion right away?
“I shouldn’t have believed them. I am such an idiot.”
Angry at herself, Chen Kexin knocked on her own forehead.
“That is true.” Gu Shishi nodded. “I felt for sure that you have been collectively put under a spell... by that heart attack girl.”
“......”
Chen Kexin blushed even more. She was foolish. She had taken what they had told her at face value.
The others... probably all did it for their own benefits.
The Luo’s and the Gu’s have a lot of followers and have higher statuses than others among prestigious families. Plus, they had brought her in as well in the past, making even more individuals want to join their rank.
What seemed like friendship on the surface was all built on benefits!
“Guru...”
Chen Kexin bowed to her with utmost sincerity.
Gu Shishi took a step up quickly and covered up her mouth. “What are you doing? Don’t expose my identity!”
Chen Kexin, “......”
“Call me Shishi.” Gu Shishi removed her hand and walked downstairs with a bath towel around her.
Chen Kexin followed behind her quickly. “Wait for me. I’m coming with!”
***
Downstairs, Huo ChuChu had already walked over to the pool side by herself after she was done with her shouting and ignoring all of the young missus.
When Chen Kexin and Gu Shishi walked down together, the impact on the others was huge.
Luo Pingting, who had been thoroughly embarrassed, wished that she could turn back time.
It was Gu Wushuang, with her high emotional quotient, stepped up to help ease the situation. “Shishi, Keke, you are finally done changing? Let’s go out there together. Everybody is waiting for you.”
Those were some very comforting words. It was always a good feeling to be waited for.
Any other time, Chen Kexin would be happy because of that and felt that her girlfriends were wonderful.
But today... it felt like a slap on her face.
You called that waiting? They were just fighting down here.
