Dou Qingyan had never had anyone talk to her like that After a long moment of surprised silence, she frowned and said, “What are you talking about? What’s all this about congenital intellectual disability?”

“Congenital intellectual disability is the medical term for what is commonly known as er There was a fire burning inside her, and she had to clench her fists to keep froyan in the face Her voice was as icy as a frozen lake when she added: “Mentally retarded—do you get it now?”

“Never heard of it” Dou Qingyan’s frown deepened She shook her head “Forget it, you’re too young to understand what I’ about, anyway”

“Why wouldn’t I understand?” Gu Nianzhi extended her hand to Dou Qingyan “Give ”

Dou Qingyan saw the change in Gu Nianzhi’s attitude, and guessed that she was jealous She handed over her phone with an easy sirl, ould you like to know?”

Gu Nianzhi broke out in goosebu, sickly sweet tone She forced a syan’s phone “These were taken six, o, correct?”

“Yes, you can see the date on the photos” Dou Qingyan scooted over and laid a hand on Gu Nianzhi’s arhed “We were so wonderful together back then How did we end up being practically strangers?”

Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath She took a closer look at the photos; there was no location information saved for the photos, so she forced herself to run an analytical eye over every single detail She asked: “Where did the two of you live, back then? The scenery looks beautiful…”

Dou Qingyan fidgeted beside her, before saying with a smile: “In C City Have you been there?”

“Yeah I’m from C City actually, I just arrived in the imperial capital” Gu Nianzhi stared fixedly at the photos “Are you sure the two of you were living in C City back then?”

Dou Qingyan gave a start; she appeared to have been hit with a sudden realization She hesitated, before saying, “Oh, no, Ime for the specific details, it’s not like you’ve been there, anyway”

Gu Nianzhi chuckled “Is that so? Let ether? Were the two of you really a couple?”

“Why would I lie to you? We were even engaged,” Dou Qingyan said iive ot up froyan’s phone raised above her head and out of her reach She retreated to the tall potted plant beside the sofa “Miss Dou, you’re a liar That in itself is not a crih to lie about Huo Shao to my face Tell me, are you mentally retarded, or yan was momentarily speechless She finally picked up on the jealousy and resent lady before her, and her lips quirked into a sot to her feet and said, in a tone loaded with ht it was just a baseless rumor”

“I don’t care what you’ve heard You shouldn’t listen to idle gossip, they’re almost always spread by two-faced backstabbers If you choose to believe theht” Gu Nianzhi could not stand Dou Qingyan She tried her best to deny it, but deep down, she knew Dou Qingyan was right: the photos had cut her deeply

Gu Nianzhi was convinced that Dou Qingyan had misrepresented the photos, but even so, she could not help the stinging pain in her heart It hurt so much she found it difficult to breathe

But this was not the tiht noas to return the blows Dou Qingyan had rained upon her!

Dou Qingyan had hurt her, and Gu Nianzhi was going to return the favor ten, no, a hundred times over!

At that moment, Gu Nianzhi had transformed from a harmless, adorable little kitten to a ferocious leopard

“Watch your yan’s face had turned purple with rage She said, in a low, threatening voice, “Give ive it back when you give me a proper explanation of these photos” Gu Nianzhi refused to give in “Miss Dou, I’ll give you one last chance to be honest with me: what’s up with these photos?”

“What do you mean, ‘what’s up’ with thenantly “Why, what’s wrong? Are you finding it hard to believe that your guardian once abandoned s for your guardian…?”

She looked Gu Nianzhi up and down The friendly smile on her face had disappeared

Gu Nianzhi saw that Dou Qingyan wasn’t feeling the least bit guilty, and decided it was tiive her a taste of her own uests were not supposed to criticize or stand up to their hosts, but Gu Nianzhi felt that she would be enabling Dou Qingyan if she let her get aith it now She did not like enabling liars

Gu Nianzhi’s face darkened She swiped to the photo of Huo Shaoheng and Dou Qingyan in the kitchen
