Chapter 521 - 521 I Truly Envy You

“But I’m sorry,” she continued, “Your daughter Li Li had a standoff with Su Jing, and everyone heard it. Su Jing told her to take the recipe and study it herself. It was Li Li who took the initiative to take the recipe to her fiancé’s house in the city. The consequences of her actions are her own, and our Su family has no reason to foot the bill.

“As for the fight just now, everyone saw it. Su Jing hit Li Li, and Li Li hit Su Jing back. If they were to discuss compensation, it would be a never-ending argument. I suggest they both step back, keep it simple, and take care of their own injuries.”

Gu Zi’s words made the situation seem as if it had never happened. The crowd was not surprised; this was typical of Gu Zi.

Li Li’s mother’s plan to have Gu Zi solve the problem with money fell through. Faced with the eloquent Gu Zi, she couldn’t think of any counterarguments.

Then, the onlookers, eager to please the Su family, began to persuade the mother and daughter to let the matter rest, as it was Li Li who had provoked Su Jing in the first place.

After all, Li Li’s broken engagement was indeed a result of her own actions.

And the demands for compensation from her fiancé’s family and neighbors were something Li Li had to face and resolve herself. The Su family did not accept shared responsibility.

Unable to argue, the mother and daughter had no choice but to let the matter drop. After the crowd dispersed, Gu Zi went in to check on Su Le.

Li Li hadn’t left yet, and her mother, too upset to deal with her, stormed off with a broom in hand.

Li Li looked at Su Jing, feeling that she had to speak her mind. “Actually, I’ve always been secretly competing with you, Su Jing. Did you know that? I truly envy you.”

Su Jing, who had just washed her face and was about to drive this annoying woman away, looked at Li Li as she spoke. Su Jing didn’t understand. She thought that Li Li had only begun to envy her after Su Shen’s pig farm made a fortune. She asked, “Always? Why?”

Li Li let out a sarcastic laugh. “You think our families are on the same level? You think what I have is the same as what you have? No, Su Jing, you’re much luckier than me. When we were kids, I was extremely envious of you whenever I saw you being taken care of by your siblings, able to eat your fill.

“What I hate most is that you always complain about your brother being cold and indifferent, not caring about you. But what I see is not like that at all. Every time you complain about your brother and your family’s poverty in front of me, do you know? To me, it’s all a form of showing off…”

As Su Jing listened to these words, her mind buzzed as if something had exploded, leaving her slightly dizzy. It wasn’t until she saw Li Li turn and leave that she finally came back to her senses. Had she always been the object of someone’s envy?

Gu Zi, sitting on the living room sofa with Lele, had heard most of the conversation and felt a pang in her heart.

She felt sorry for Su Shen. He could finally be understood by his sister, right? Although he might not need this understanding now, Gu Zi felt relieved. Because Gu Zi was not the kind of person who advocated doing good deeds without leaving a name, Su Jing should appreciate the kindness her brother had shown her.

That night, Su Jing couldn’t sleep for a long time. She seemed to realize that her family was not as bad as she had imagined. Her seemingly cold and indifferent brother was, in the eyes of others, someone to be envied.

Unable to hold back her tears, Su Jing sobbed, “I’m sorry, brother, I’ve misunderstood you all along.”

She couldn’t bring herself to say these words to Su Shen, but she had to voice them. If she didn’t, she would feel uncomfortable. Su Jing suddenly felt that Li Li’s nature was not entirely bad. At least now, she had a deeper understanding of her past misconceptions.

Su Jing felt that perhaps she should really think about it. In the future, she should have her own path to follow, rather than staying here, relying on her brother’s life, and causing trouble for her brother and sister-in-law.
