486 Chicken Pretending to be a Phoenix (2/2)
Zhu Ning's envy of Wei Lan had long warped her logical reasoning. She always saw Wei Lan's achievements as a direct provocation to her. Even when it had nothing to do with her, Zhu Ning would always think that Wei Lan was deliberately showing off just to spite her. She wanted everything that Wei Lan had for herself.
While Zhu Ning continued to wreck the things inside her house, the atmosphere was cold at the Zheng ancestral residence. As usual, Zheng Suyin's niece ran to her aunt's bedchamber and showed her a recording of the livestream.
Zheng Suyin watched the recording several times. Her hands tightened on the tablet. Her niece snatched it away, afraid that she would destroy another tablet.
”Search if this noble title is real,” she instructed her niece.
”I already did. There's not much information available on the internet, but it's a real Spanish title that still exists today,” her niece replied. ”I thought that the old hag only used her connection as Iris Long's mother to attend the international film festival, but it turns out that she's actually a VIP guest! Hmph! So what if she became a viscountess?! It's not like she married a king! Don't worry, Auntie. I'm sure she'll embarrass herself in front of the world at the film festival. She may have a noble title, but she's still the same lowly prostitute on the inside.”
Zheng Suyin narrowed her eyes, as she watched the recording once again. Then she nodded. ”You're right. She only became a viscountess through marriage. True nobility comes from the blood, not from the clothes. Sooner or later, her husband's eyes will open and see that she's nothing but a slut.”
Although her tone was calm, fury roiled inside Zheng Suyin. She always saw herself as superior in every way compared to Wei Lan. She had always been proud of her noble origins. It was something that the homewrecker slut would never obtain no matter how many men she slept with. Now, however, Zheng Suyin was filled with unease and envy because Wei Lan's status was now higher than hers. Even though Wei Lan wasn't born into nobility and just got the title through marriage, others still recognized it, not like the Zheng and the Long clans' lost noble legacies.
She wanted Wei Lan to only be known as a social climbing, gold digging homewrecker her whole life. The sin of stealing another woman's husband should remain as a black stain on Wei Lan's reputation.
But what was happening? The slut was being respectfully called a ”vizcondesa” right now by so many people! They were treating her like a queen. These people were all blind! They should open their eyes and see the slut's true nature! Wei Lan was nothing but a chicken pretending to be a phoenix!
Although the recording grated on her nerves, Zheng Suyin watched it several times. She already used her own phone to watch it and sent her niece back to her own room. Zheng Suyin wasn't able to sleep that night at all. She stewed on her hatred instead while imagining countless ways of humiliating and killing Wei Lan.
In another equally ancient place, Long Tengfei and Yang Jiahui also watched a recording of the livestream at the Long ancestral residence. It was already way past midnight, but both of them were still wide awake.
They sipped a hot herbal tea fusion at Long Tengfei's study. Iris gifted it to them, saying that it was her new favourite from her endorsement of Serenity Premium Tea. It was Lin Yehan's newest addition to his tea company.
At the moment, Long Tengfei and Yang Jiahui sat on the sofa and watched the big flat screen TV. Originally, they wanted to watch it because of Iris. They wanted to support her first international film festival participation. Never did they expect that Wei Lan would also appear and attend as a VIP guest while bearing the title of a Spanish viscountess.
