Marry Me Quick

Chapter 695 On Behalf of The Earl of Augsburg?

Ziyue raised her eyebrows. She kept her anger to herself.

"It's totally fine if you're happy being Gricy's dog, but please don't group us all together with you. I'm sure we'd much prefer staying human."

Ziyue's sharp wit left a wound in Hanyan's pride.

Hanyan glared at her, "You are nothing more than a quick tongue. Besides that, what else can you do? You're nothing without Muchen!"

"That's where you're wrong. Even without Muchen, I am Su Ziyue." Ziyue stared at her head on, quieting the burgeoning anger in her chest.

Whatever the situation she was in, be it richer or poorer, Ziyue was always aware of who she was.

One must never lose sight of themselves. Do not be led astray. Do not hide who they are. And always be their true selves.

Hanyan wasn't wrong. Without MUchen, Ziyue may have never risen to popularity that quickly. She won't be known as the wife of LK Group's chairman. She may never have gotten a chance to enter Mogwin Castle. She probably would never hear of Gricy nor get involved with them. It was unlikely she'd meet someone like Aika too.

But even living a life of normality without Muchen, she was proud of who she was. She was Su Ziyue, and there was nothing wrong with that.

Hanyan, on the other hand, had succumbed to her desires and had driven herself deeper and deeper into the darkness.

She had lost sight of herself. She probably couldn't even recognize who she was anymore.

Women's conversations were full of passive aggressiveness. This was how toxic women could be.

Hanyan was sly. She picked up what Ziyue had meant without any prompting.

She'd thought among them, Ziyue would be the one to get upset by her taunts. To Hanyan's surprise, she was the one who was triggered.

"That's quite the bark you got there!" She sneered.
