1 You’re Trash, Hui Yin (1/2)
The nails that bit deep into the palm of the girl drew blood.
”Let me see him.”
The girl who spoke stood trembling in front of a large mansion, her eyes red.
There were tear stains on her cheeks, and she was biting her lower lip with force. Gaunt and thin, she looked like the softest gust of wind could topple her.
Across from her was another girl, but their appearance were heavens and earth apart.
Where Hui Yin's hair lacked luster, Nian Zhen's hair was thick and shiny. Where Hui Yin's cheeks were almost caved, Nian Zhen's cheeks were soft and rosy. Where Hui Yin's body was frail and sick-looking, Nian Zhen's body was healthy and elegant-looking.
Anyone looking at the two of them will definitely not believe that Hui Yin had once captured every man that looked at her due to her breathtaking beauty.
Because of Lu Shen, Hui Yin gave up everything in exchange for his love.
She made herself submissive to become a good housewife, and suppressed her dreams to gain the approval of his family. Because of Nian Zhen's advice that were vinegar layered with honey, she believed that taking care of herself was too excessive, that Lu Shen and his family would think of her as superficial if she bought anything for herself other than the basic necessities.
Slowly, Hui Yin let herself go.
Her clothes became more matronly, her beauty disappearing with rough care. She stayed late each night to cook for Lu Shen while he was busy, and woke up early each morning to cook him breakfast. Less than a wife, she was more like a slave in their years of marriage.
And all of this effort only earned her a frosty glance from him.
He didn't acknowledge her as his wife. He could barely even look at her, sometimes.
