Chapter 1337: Envy and Jealousy
Chapter 1337: Envy and Jealousy
At this moment, both hands in her robe sleeves were clenched fiercely.
This woman, Hu Yan Niang, was pregnant and was being hunted by her, escaping the Extreme West Wilderness almost by the skin of her teeth!
Bai Feng originally thought that even if she managed to return, she would be so worn by life, looking haggard like an old crone!
Who would have thought she could be so mature and charming!
Moreover, she exuded a sense of heroism and nobility that she never had before.
The current Lady Yan is even more flavorful and enchanting than before!
Bai Feng watched, nearly breaking her fingernails out of jealousy.
She had been the Young Madam of the Huo Family for more than ten years, yet her demeanor still couldn’t match Hu Yan Niang’s!
How could she tolerate this?
The other was just a fool she had once trampled into the mud, toyed with and humiliated like a dog.
How could she be overshadowed?!
As Bai Feng thought this, she immediately lowered her gaze to suppress the coldness and jealousy in her eyes, her look at Hu Yan Niang filled with smiling warmth.
"Lady Yan, I never expected it was really you."
"When my father told me you were back, I thought he was lying to me."
"But why didn’t you come to see me after you returned, and... you... what’s going on here?"
Bai Feng’s face showed shock, looking at Hu Yan Niang with confusion, doubt, as well as a sense of grievance and sadness.
But there was no guilt or panic of a guilty conscience.
Back then, Bai Feng could frame and scheme against Lady Yan, feigning concern after her defilement, using it to climb into the Huo Family, and even schemed to attract Huo Ting’s attention and affection.
She could even deceive and reverse the black and white in front of the man who took Lady Yan’s innocence, muddling through the situation.
Her scheming and depth of mind were more than a little.
How could she reveal any flaw in front of people?
Her performance immediately bewildered everyone present.
The families invited by Hu Zhongtian watched Bai Feng’s demeanor.
They became even more suspicious that what Hu Zhongtian wrote in his letter was just... groundless accusations?
After all, Bai Feng married Huo Ting back then and essentially snatched Lady Yan’s fiancé.
But that was Lady Yan’s own misconduct, a fault of her actions!
Could it be that Lady Yan was unsatisfied with her outside life, so she returned to reclaim Huo Ting?
If that’s the case, then what Hu Zhongtian said about the Bai Family’s persecution of them might all be fabricated!
Deliberately blaming Bai Feng and the Bai Family!
Thinking this, everyone looked down upon the Hu Family and Hu Yan Niang with special disdain.
Truly, the moment they gained power, they turned around to bite!
Bai Feng had indeed helped her a lot when Lady Yan was in distress!
If not for speaking up for her, how would Bai Feng have met Huo Ting, the Young Master of the Huo Family?
To speak of it, Lady Yan’s fiancé was something she herself ruined!
What right does she have to turn around and bite the Bai Family?
Thinking this, the contempt in their gazes toward Hu Yan Niang and her people grew even stronger.
They didn’t know about the Bai Family’s secret coercion for Hu Zhongtian to hand over the Holy King Tomb Map, nor did they know that Bai Feng’s prior "assistance" to Lady Yan was just stepping on her as a stepping stone to engage with Huo Ting!
If not for this, how could she have become the Young Madam of the Huo Family?
Bai Feng noticed the change in the onlookers’ gazes, and her heart filled with a smug smile.
With just these words, everyone was on her side!
How could Hu Yan Niang and her people contend with her?
