Shen Jiayi thought Gu Yan’s family mbers were uneducated, so she kindly stopped asking too much; she was worried that Gu Yan would think too much.
In fact, Shen Jiayi was thinking too much.
Even though Gu Yan couldn’t tell what she was thinking about, when she saw her pitiful and sorry eyes...
She didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. She could tell that Shen Jiayi misunderstood the situation.
But there was no need to explain this; just let it stay as a misunderstanding for now.
They arrived at Xinhua Bookstore as they continued to chat. They entered the store and looked at the rows and rows of books, then they each went to find the books that they each needed quietly.
Gu Yan quickly picked so review and study materials. She only studied up to Grade Nine at this point.
In her previous life, she worked really hard to get into National Defence University. Purchasing so materials for review and study right now was a way to get double the result with half the effort.
Plus, it had already been so long since she went to university; what if she had forgotten so knowledge?
When Gu Yan picked out her books and was ready to find Shen Jiayi, she saw Shen Jiayi standing not far from her and looking gloomy.
There were two taller female comrades standing beside her.
One of the female comrades kind of resembled Shen Jiayi. Their eyebrows were the sa willow leaf eyebrows, but this female comrade’s eyes were narrow and long.
Her facial features were quite pretty.
But she looked a little an.
Right now, this female comrade was sneering and ridiculing Shen Jiayi, “It doesn’t matter how many books you read; it still can’t change the fact that you are a bumpkin. And if Auntie didn’t return to the city, you’d still be in the village and probably would have had a lot of kids, right? Hmph.”
The other female comrade on the side covered her mouth and snickered. Obviously, she was in the sa team as this person.
Shen Jiayi slightly tightened her grip on the two books in her hand, and she turned around and decided to leave.
“What, I only said so little, and you’re leaving now? Did I even say anything wrong? Xiaohua, just stick with this na. Why the heck did you change it to Shen Jiayi? Do you really think that you’d beco an artistic woman after you changed to a pretty na? Also, do you deserve to have the family na Shen!?”
“Xiaohua? What a tacky na,” the other female comrade added.
“Cousin!” Shen Jiayi clenched her teeth. She saw that people around her were looking at her with strange gazes, and her face turned bright red while her body started shaking.
She wanted to find a hole in the ground and bury herself inside.
Shen Nana said with more disgust, “Who is your cousin! Hmph!”
Shen Jiayi was already crying when Gu Yan ca over. She turned around and wanted to disappear imdiately.
Gu Yan caught her hand and asked, “Shen Jiayi, are you okay?”
“I’m... I’m okay.”
Gu Yan lifted her head and looked at the two female comrades across from her. The one that kind of looked like Shen Jiayi had her arms crossed in front of her chest and her head held high, and she said, “What? Are you trying to stand up for this bumpkin?”
“Who is the bumpkin talking about?”
“The bumpkin is talking about her!” Shen Nana followed up without thinking, but once she saw everyone around her covering their mouths and giggling, she finally realized what was going on.
She fell into the trap.
She was furious and scread, “And you, where did you co from, bumpkin? Hurry up and piss off!”
Before, they were talking in normal tones and voices, which was fine.
But Shen Nana just scread, which was not fine. That counted as making a racket.
Gu Yan said calmly, “Comrade, this book store is a place for people to read and buy books. Isn’t it too ill-bred of you to make a racket right here?”
“Who are you calling ill-bred?” Shen Nana was so angry that her voice went up another notch. It even surprised her friend, making the latter pull her sleeve to stop her.
But Shen Nana had never been dissed like this before in her life. She glowered at Gu Yan and said, “Where the hell did you co from? I’m teaching my cousin a lesson; how does it even concern you!”
“Yo, Comrade Shen Jiayi, is this snarling comrade right here your cousin? But didn’t she say that she’s not your cousin earlier?”
