Chapter 1518 Aunt Gu Really Misunderstood You

However, Mengyu did not extend her hand to shake Gui Xiaofeng’s hand. Instead, she looked at her steadily: "Didn’t my prospective mother-in-law just ask you to leave? Why didn’t you?"

The smile on Gui Xiaofeng’s face finally cracked: "Uh, we’ve been friends since childhood. Your prospective mother-in-law misunderstood me for a moment, but I won’t hold it against her."

See, how generous and accommodating she is! Even when people misunderstand her, she doesn’t mind.

Mengyu responded with an "Oh": "Aunt really misunderstood."

The other two were a bit surprised. Hai Xue was startled by Mengyu’s claim of misunderstanding. When they discussed her with Gu Ming that day, Mengyu was present. She should know that this wasn’t just some misunderstanding.

Meanwhile, Gui Xiaofeng was astonished that this girl actually believed her claim of misunderstanding. Did that mean she trusted her? Then she was secretly pleased: as long as Eldest Miss Nan believed her, what did it matter if Hai Xue did or not? Wasn’t her goal today precisely to win over Eldest Miss Nan?

But their astonishment was fleeting because of Mengyu’s next words: "She misunderstood you for thirty years, thinking you treated her as a friend just like she did to you. But in reality, you never considered her a friend."

Gui Xiaofeng looked at Mengyu as if she’d seen a ghost: How did she know that she hadn’t considered Hai Xue a friend?

But Hai Xue was shocked by Mengyu’s words. She thought Gui Xiaofeng had only conspired with Yang Meiyin to harm her to stay in the military, but for the previous decade, at least they had been friends.

Seeing their expressions, Mengyu smiled and said to Gui Xiaofeng: "Did I say something wrong? Weren’t you jealous of Aunt ever since childhood because she was beautiful and charming, gaining her foster parents’ love, while your parents valued sons over daughters and only raised you to marry off to your brother?"

"Weren’t you only friends with Aunt to get good food, clothes, hairpins, and other things you wanted from her that your parents wouldn’t give you, forcing yourself to suppress your jealousy?"

"Weren’t you trying to ensure Aunt only had you as a friend, and whenever someone got close to her, you’d manipulate Aunt into misunderstanding them, and then, ’righteously indignant,’ you would chase them away, leaving her to depend solely on you?"

"So, Aunt really did misunderstand you, thinking that because she treated you wholeheartedly as a friend, you would do the same. In fact, you only ever wanted to use her!"

Mengyu had to thank Le Shui for investigating Gui Xiaofeng; he even found out such small details.

Inside Hai Xue, emotional waves surged: Was it really true?

Looking back, since childhood, Gui Xiaofeng seemed to be her only "friend." Thinking back, as a child, she had other friends, but since becoming friends with Gui Xiaofeng, her friends gradually drifted away.

Moreover, Mengyu was right; her friends almost always ended up doing something to betray her trust, and then they would be driven away by the ’righteously indignant’ Gui Xiaofeng.

She had always been a bit aloof and not good at making friends, so the few she did make all had problems, which made it easy for Gui Xiaofeng to drive them away.

Because of Gui Xiaofeng, she became more and more isolated until she was left with only this toxic best friend.

How blind could she have been not to realize the malice hiding behind that friendship?
