章 581: Envy Strikes

Gong Xin observed her brother's demeanor and turned to their mother, Mrs. Chen, "Mother, my brother's pride is all he has left. It's pitiful, really. His once-fiancée is now another man's wife. He's still holding onto the braised pork she used to sell, unable to express his true feelings. I wonder who he gets his stubbornness from."

Mrs. Chen shot her daughter a warning glance, signaling her to stop using this matter to torment her brother. This wasn't just about hurting one person. Mrs. Chen herself was filled with regret, a feeling that resurfaced every time she thought about it. But what's done is done, and regret was futile. It was best to leave the matter untouched.

Turning to her son, Mrs. Chen advised, "Your relationship with Gu Zi is in the past. It's not a big deal. But I must caution you, don't always view people through a colored lens. It will prevent you from seeing their true colors, and in the end, you'll be the one at a loss."
