Chapter 6: You Don’t Have to Force Yourself

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Xi retorted casually, “Unlike you. A mistress talks louder than anyone else.”

On the other end of the line, Luo Yun was so angry that she couldn’t speak. Yan Xi was about to hang up the phone when Yan Dong’s voice sounded, who was pretending to be fair.

“Xi, how can you talk to your mother like this?” After a pause, he continued, “You’ve been married to Gu Shen for so long. It’s time for you to bring him home. Although Gu Shen is a cripple, he’s still our Yan family’s son-in-law. We have to show him some respect.”

“You don’t even get to show him respect.” Yan Xi sneered and hung up the phone. Then she blacklisted both of them without hesitation.

How dare he speak ill of her husband in front of her.

Yan Xi pouted, thinking to herself, “I don’t give a shit to your birthday.”

The Host was quite familiar with his condescending tone.

Yan Xi’s life in the Gu family was like that of Cinderella, living in the abyss of suffering. After her mother died, her father couldn’t wait to marry his mistress, and soon, he had another daughter—Yan Qi.

During the years she was in the Yan family, Yan Xi never had anything that truly belonged to her. Luo Yun would only give Yan Xi things that Yan Qi didn’t want. In front of outsiders, she acted like a good mother. If Yan Xi didn’t cooperate, she would be scolded and beaten by her when she returned home.

Yan Qi’s attitude towards Yan Xi became worse and worse under the influence of her mother. She was mean and would hit and scold Yan Xi whenever she felt like it.

After being verbally and physically abused by Yan Qi for so long, the Host was bereft of confidence and felt extremely inferior.

However, she was not as timid as the Host. If someone made her suffer, she would make sure the person suffered greater.

Gu Shen also received a call from his father, Gu Hai.

Gu Hai was straight to the point, telling him to attend Yan Dong’s birthday banquet so as to avoid rumors of the Gu family being arrogant and impolite.

Gu Shen didn’t object. After agreeing with his father, Gu Shen told Yan Xi about it.

Yan Xi was stunned. “You’re going to attend the birthday banquet?”

Gu Shen immediately thought of his legs when he heard her questioning tone. His eyes darkened and he said, “I’ll leave after putting down the gift. I won’t embarrass you.”

“No.” Yan Xi frantically explained, “That’s not what I mean. I know you don’t like this kind of occasion and it’s not convenient for you to appear on stage, so I rejected Yan Dong when he called. Gu Shen, you don’t have to force yourself.”

“It’s alright.” Gu Shen’s expression was calm. “I’ve already prepared the gifts. I still have things to see. If you need anything, just look for Gu Yi.”

Looking at Gu Shen who seemed to be angry, Yan Xi felt bad. She made an effort to make him change his opinion about her, but it was all ruined by her family.

…

The Yan family’s banquet started at seven in the evening. The venue was set to be at the Yan family’s villa.

Yan Xi took out a silver fishtail dress from the wardrobe. The hem of the dress was inlaid with diamonds, and when it moved, it shone brightly like the Milky Way.

Her skin was fair, so the color of this dress not only was not strange on her, but also it made her look even more dazzling.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Yan Xi could tell from her face that the Host had been a victim of domestic abuse.

Yan Xi smiled and the woman in the mirror smiled with her. “I will live well. For me and for you.” Yan Xi thought to herself.

Gu Shen sat in the car and waited for Yan Xi. He thought that he would have to wait for an hour, but Yan Xi came downstairs very quickly. She was wearing a long dress that was swaying around.

Looking up casually, Gu Shen fixed his gaze on Yan Xi.. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he felt inexplicably frustrated.
