Alas, even the Yellow River changed its path every thirty or so years, life could be full of drama.
When “Su Ran” was still the Young Miss of the Su’s, she was stuck up and spoiled and looked down on everybody around her. She barely had any friends. Later on, when she was pursuing the male lead and setting up the female lead, she had made even more enemies.
After “Su Ran” was banished from her family and slipped so far as to becoming a bargirl, many had rejoiced at the news. And many who have had unpleasant exchanges with Miss Su lined up to spend money to insult her.
And this Gu Jiahao was one of her “regulars”.
As time went on, either because these individuals started their careers and gotten married and became more mature, or that they felt that “insulting Su Ran” had became a routine and no longer entertaining, less and less people sought her out and picked on her.
From her memories, the last time she saw this Gu Jiahao was almost five to six years ago.
Looking at the man who was shriveling up at age 30, all Su Ran wanted to say was: bad people aged fast.
“Su Ran”, the villainess female supporting character in the original novel might be braindead, but her eyesight was perfect. This Gu Jiahao was a bad person through and through.
In the extra chapter, “Su Ran” died at this banquet. Whether that has anything to do with Gu Jiahao, she didn’t know, but right now, she just wanted to turn over this page uneventfully and not be recognized by him.
Unfortunately, that would just be too good to be true.
After staring at this rude bargirl for a while, Gu Jiahao’s eyes widened all of a sudden, and he snickered devilishly.
“HAR HAR HAR. And I was just wondering about who was this impolite wh*re. Is this not our Young Miss Su Ran? Oh, I mean, the once Young Miss Su Ran.
“What? Did you think I have forgotten about you after just a few years?” Seeing a flash of surprise in her eyes, he continued to mock her, “I will never forget the pretty face of Young Miss Su Ran.
“Too bad you’re scarred” said Gu Jiahao as he stared at the scar on her forehead.
Come to think about it, he was one of them who helped make it happen.
“Well, well, well. You hadn’t changed much over all these years. Wait, that couldn’t be true. I gathered business had been slow for you? It’s been a few years, you are no spring chick anymore…”
Gu Jiahao was not holding back at all in insulting Su Ran, but the way he looked at her was filled with greed.
His deep hatred for her was only part of the reason that he recognized her; the other part was because now that she had no makeup on, she looked exactly the same as that once stuck up Young Miss Su Ran.
Back in the days, he had been crazy over that face. He didn’t think the same face was still very attractive to him even after so many years.
Perhaps even more so than it was before.
For some reason that he couldn’t put his fingers on, the Su Ran in front of him gave him an odd feeling.
She didn’t have the weathered look after all these years in the red-light district. She had on the cheapest of all clothes, yet she still managed to look elegant.
Time seemed to have no effect on her at all except for looking more mature. Plus, the Su Ran right now didn’t have the same cunning and twisted look that she once had back in the nightclub. What she exuded was calmness and a nonchalant indifference.
If he wasn’t so certain that this was for sure Su Ran, and if he didn’t know that this wench’s life was the lowest of all over the years, he would think that Su Ran was never banished from her family. Instead, he might have assumed she had married into the Song’s and had been a rich man’s wife the last few years.
He stopped going to pick on “Su Ran” because the thrill was gone, but now…
Gu Jiahao licked his lips as he stared at Su Ran as though he was about to forcefully pull her into his arm at any minute.
Fuyu’s Ramblings: I think because Su Ran is someone that has already achieved success in her life before her transmigration, she has unshakeable self-confidence and justified surety in herself, so she doesn’t care if a store clerk, Gu Jiahao, or anyone else looks down on her. She won’t easily be intimidated by anyone. It would be like a lioness being scared of an ant.
