Chapter 139 - Your Sister Is the Fairy!
Uncontrollable laughter burst from her: “Are your eyes just for show? If they're of no use to you, go ahead and pluck them out. Why do you have such peculiar tastes? What's with your infatuation for a chubby pig? Weren't you the one who called my sister plump and rotund? You can't possibly be interested in my sister? Now, you're suddenly chasing after her. Have you gone mad?”
Recently, Jiang Yan couldn't shake off thoughts of Gu Yuehuan. He felt completely powerless against it. He couldn't pinpoint the nature of this attraction. Gu Yuehuan's beauty was unparalleled by any other.
More importantly, she emanated an air of aloofness and nobility akin to a celestial being. She valued what was unattainable. This compulsion led Jiang Yan to seek out Gu Yuehuan. He contemplated her day and night, finding it unbearable.
“That's because I didn't know your sister would transform into such a stunner after losing weight. Your sister is currently the talk of the town. She has countless admirers! If I'd realized her beauty earlier, I wouldn't have let her go. If I had been with her from the start, she would be my wife now. But there's still a chance. Remember how you once tried to set me up with your sister? Well, keep playing matchmaker and let your sister marry me!”
Each time Jiang Yan spoke, Gu Yuewei couldn't help but think that he must have lost his senses. Otherwise, how could he ever fall for Gu Yuehuan?
Initially, she was overweight and unattractive. Even if she had improved her looks, how much better could she possibly be?
She found it hard to believe that a beauty like her wouldn't measure up to Gu Yuehuan.
Frustration fueled her outburst, “Are you blind!? It's you who's blind! How can my sister, who fancies that chubby pig, be more attractive than me?”
Jiang Yan chuckled in a coarse manner. “There's really no need to say that your sister is better looking than you. She truly is more beautiful than you. Compared to your sister, you're just a countryside girl. Your sister is an ethereal goddess!”
Gu Yuewei had been consistently praised for her beauty. With her fair and delicate appearance, she hardly resembled a rural girl, giving off an urban vibe. That's why I was especially confident. Hearing those words now, she let out an exasperated scream, as if her patience was about to snap. She seemed ready to throttle him. “You're sick. You're seriously out of your mind. Seek some help. How can you develop an interest in that village girl?”
Jiang Yan was at a loss for words. “You're making it sound like you're not a village girl yourself. You are one, and so is your sister. Your sister's even more beautiful than you.”
If Gu Yuewei wasn't here to engage in this argument and wasn't embarrassed by public eyes, she might really have wanted to throttle him right now.
She turned and walked away, and at this moment, she noticed several men stationed at the village entrance.
The hooligans were smoking and waiting.
“You're certain there's a beauty in this village? I've never heard of any attractive women here. Why haven't I seen her around for so long?”
“Absolutely, there's one who's as enchanting as a fairy. I didn't take notice of her before. Yesterday, when he went to grab a meal from the food stall, he spotted a gorgeous woman. She's truly stunning. Her name is Gu Yuehuan! Even though she's wedded, it doesn't hurt to appreciate beauty.”
Gu Yuewei overheard the conversation of these people and found herself unable to keep walking. She was eager to see the face of someone who could be so breathtakingly beautiful.
How could that detestable fat pig be beautiful? Unless the eyes of these men had been blinded. Yet, she had been holed up at home these past few days. She genuinely didn't know how Gu Yuehuan looked now. At this point, her curiosity was piqued, and she stood sentry at the village gate.
Not long after, Gu Yuehuan emerged. Her main purpose was to buy vegetables. She planned to cook today, but with no vegetables at home, she had to make a trip to the town market.
