Bab 241: What Is This Nonsense?

"How could you say that, Yuwei?" Bai Yuyan followed Ye Yuwei to the kitchen. "I only asked for your help because you are the only one I am close to. I don't have many friends, you are my only friend."

Ye Yuwei took over the glass of water from a maid's hand, thanked her, and looked at Bai Yuyan. "Miss Bai is from a prominent family, someone like me is probably not qualified to be Miss Bai's friend."

"That's so hurtful, Yuwei! Yes, I admit that I used to be materialistic. But we were in an orphanage! Who doesn't want to be in a rich family, right?" said Bai Yuyan quickly.

"No," said Ye Yuwei as she left the kitchen, "Do you know how envious Yuzhen, Yuqiao, and I were every time you were selected for adoption? All we wanted was a home, not money."

"Of course you could say that now that you are Mrs. Gu. Who would respect you when you have nothing? Didn't you get what you have now because you are the wife of Gu Juexi?" Bai Yuyan rebutted.
