No matter how hard Huo You tried, she couldn’t wash away the cowardice and pettiness in her bones. Everyone could tell that although she had returned to the Huo Family and appeared to have become a demure daughter of a prestigious family, she didn’t have the fundamentals and bearing that a real daughter of a wealthy family should have.

However, deep down, Huo You was very similar to the Huo Family. She was hypocritical, selfish, and was used to classifying everyone she met based on their family background, bloodline, and wealth.

Bi Ying was a little special. He didn’t have a good family background or great wealth, but he had an outstanding brain.

Although Huo You thought that Bi Ying had some value, in her eyes, he was still an illegitimate child who was not presentable. Moreover, he had a pair of crippled legs.

She was seeking Bi Ying’s cooperation, but she still assumed a superior attitude.

Given Bi Ying’s intelligence, how could he not know Huo You’s true attitude towards him?

His response made Huo You, who looked down on Bi Ying, furious!

“Bi Ying, how dare you call me trash!” Huo You was so angry that her face was red. “You’re the bedbug and rat who lives in the slums! You’ll be hidden in a place that won’t see light for your entire life!”

Bi Ying sneered. “Look at your shrew state now. How are you different from those shrews in the urban village who scold people out in the streets?”

Huo You was stunned and her face turned pale in an instant.

Bi Ying noticed the change in Huo You’s expression and suddenly understood that this was what she was most concerned about.

“Heh, Huo You, even in your dreams, you want to draw the line with the slums you talk about, but deep down, you’re a shrew who lives in the urban village. You’re shameless and rough, and you can fight intensely with people over a few cents. You can’t stand to see others living better than you. In order to satisfy your useless vanity, you’ll try your best to suppress your imaginary enemies and would even betray everything that you could…”

Huo You felt like the secret that was hidden in the deepest part of her heart had been exposed. Bi Ying had ripped off the fabric that was concealing her ugly side mercilessly, exposing her distorted soul to the sunlight.

Her expression became distorted and she said weakly, “Shut up! Bi Ying, shut up!”

Bi Ying wouldn’t be softhearted at all. He stabbed her with the sharpest knife. “Huo You, if you treat that old district as a slum, you’ll never be able to leave. So what if you’re the Huo Family’s young miss now? You won’t be able to wash away the stains on your soul.”

Huo You’s expression as if she had been dealt a heavy blow was considered interesting, but Bi Ying did not intend to waste any more time on this disgusting woman. He turned around and left.

Huo You was left there, her entire body trembling. Although she hadn’t suffered any substantial damage, she felt a pain coming from the deepest part of her soul. The pain was from having a scar that she didn’t want to face the most getting exposed.

Images of the scenes in which she was arguing with her husband from her previous life uncontrollably appeared in her mind. Her husband was looking at her in disdain, his expression and demeanor portraying the word “despise”.

He said, “Huo You, do you think you can become the real young miss of the Huo Family just because you have the Huo Family’s bloodline? You’ll only be as unreasonable as a shrew. I’d rather have married Huo Tian back then. Although she’s not a real member of the Huo Family, at least she won’t make me feel like I’ve married a shrew from the lowest level of society!”

“No, I’m no longer the Huo You from the past. I’m the Huo Family’s daughter…” Huo You covered her ears in pain, trying to chase away the man’s disgusted voice. However, his voice and his impatient face were everywhere, making Huo You feel extremely miserable.

“Student, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

A clear male voice rang out from behind Huo You. She hurriedly wiped away her tears and turned around to find that it was Zhao Feng.

After seeing Huo You’s face clearly, the worry on Zhao Feng’s face turned to surprise.. He hadn’t wanted to care about Huo You anymore, but his natural sense of justice made him unable to ignore a girl who was clearly unwell. “Are, are you okay? Do you need to go to the school infirmary?”
