Chapter 195
The astonishing news in Jiangling was being discussed to a great extent at the dining table.
A few girls were talking about it with full of envy and jealousy, and the atmosphere in the hall was bustling.
Sun Mingxuan seemed a little embarrassed. He was unhappy about the fact that the mysterious magnate stole the spotlight of his own wedding.
“Hmph, 400 million dollars for a dress? This guy must be insane,” he muttered out of jealousy. Regardless of his words, he still felt astonished and envious in his heart.
400 million was a huge amount of money! Who would be able to afford that in Jiangling and Jiangbei?
Zhou Ying was curious as she glanced at the photo of the Moonlight Goddess on the phone. It looked extremely elegant, magnificent and exclusive.
“It’s really beautiful.”
Women who could afford to wear this wedding dress should be princesses who were spoiled and superior to others. In summary, she could never qualify to be one of those women.
Zhou Ying smiled in self-mockery and sadness. During these few days, Tang’e and the rest of the members in the Sun Family never stopped talking nonsense to her; they ridiculed her from the top of their high horses about her being a Cinderella that came from the lower levels of the society.
She should feel fortunate to be able to marry into the Sun Family, and she should behave herself and stay humble. It would be great if she could produce a few more sons for the Sun Family in order for the family line to carry on.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
At this moment, a few of Sun Mingxuan’s cousin sisters who were from wealthy families started to make fun of Zhou Ying.
“Have you heard the news? The Moonlight Goddess was a gift from the mysterious rich man to his sister. Coincidentally, her sister will be getting married on the same day as Zhou Ying.”
“The same day? What a coincidence! It’s a pity that not everyone could have the same life.”
“She would definitely look spectacular in the Moonlight Goddess during her wedding. As for Zhou Ying, tsk tsk…”
A few girls from the Sun Family covered their lips as they laughed; the mockery and ridicule on their faces were clear beyond words.
Everyone from the Sun Family knew that Zhou Ying didn’t have decent jewelleries for her wedding. Her diamond ring was bought second-hand and her wedding gown was rented. What a poor girl!
Zhou Ying bit his lips tightly in silence. She felt inferior and aggrieved.
She had the same wedding date as the mysterious rich man’s sister, but they had totally different fates. How could one not feel depressed when the lives of the rich were compared directly to the lives of the poor?
The girls felt that they didn’t have enough fun, hence they continued to ridicule Zhou Ying. “Hey, perhaps the Moonlight Goddess was purchased for Zhou Ying. What do you think?”
“It could be. I heard that Zhou Ying has an elder brother too. He could have bought it for her.”
“Zhou Ying, why don’t you call your elder brother to confirm this? We’re curious to know too, hahaha!”
Zhou Ying was being treated like a toy in their hands. She lowered her head in grief like an ostrich trying to its head in a hole on the ground.
Tang’e observed everything without interfering. She was extremely satisfied with the actions of the girls in the Sun Family. In her opinion, they were ‘setting the rules’ for Zhou Ying and helping her to understand where she stood in the Sun Family. These would prevent her from behaving presumptuously without knowing her position in the family.
“That’s right, Zhou Ying. Call your elder brother, Chu Feng and ask him about it,” Tang’e chimed in sarcastically and laughed excitedly. “Although your brother had been a soldier in the army for ten years without any achievement, nothing is impossible. Perhaps he had saved up and spent the 400 million dollars to get you the Moonlight Goddess. Miracles do happen.”
Everyone in the Sun Family laughed out loud, and they seemed extremely elated and cheerful.
Zhou Ying couldn’t stand the humiliation anymore. She stood up from her seat and said gloomily, “I’m done, enjoy the rest of your dinner.”
Zhou Ying left the dining table in great sorrow. The girls from the Sun Family rolled their eyes in boredom, waved their goodbyes and continued staring at their phones.
“Hmph, what a girl. Did she really think that her status will improve after marrying to the Sun Family? A poor person will stay poor forever,” Tang’e sneered. She casted a glance at Zhou Ying’s back as she swirled the red wine in her glass. “Look at how shameful she is. How could she still have extravagant hope for a brand new wedding dress? The wedding is just for show, and she’ll have to throw it away after that anyway! How dare she throw a tantrum on me for renting her a wedding dress? Fortunately, I’m an elder that is forgiving enough not to argue with her.”
