Chapter 1825: Chapter 1825: Naive Student vs. Glamorous Teacher (Part 12)
Deng Huijun was secretly pleased with her successful plan, but she also felt a tinge of jealousy as she looked at Gu Shengyin.
She was already twenty-six, while the girl before her was just twenty.
Yet such an innocent demeanor, she had never possessed at any age - not now, not at twenty, nor at an even younger age.
Her mother had always been strict with her.
Mrs. Deng, Zhao Li, had only her as a daughter, believing that her daughter’s achievements reflected on her own social image and thus must excel in everything.
So from a young age, Deng Huijun was forced to endure her mother’s resentment toward her maternal family and aunt, alongside learning various talents and skills.
She never had a so-called childhood, nor could she smile so sweetly and innocently.
Because her mother demanded her to be a proud lady from a young age.
The more excellent the daughter became, the more her role as a mother could stand strong within the family.
It has to be said, Zhao Li managed to succeed.
Nowadays, Deng Yuanlin might not have much affection for Zhao Li as his wife, but he dearly cherished Deng Huijun, who always boosted his reputation.
Sometimes, Deng Huijun looked at the little children, who acted cutely with their parents, asking for candy, and felt a bit envious.
And this envy, when it was directed at Gu Shengyin, turned into jealousy.
She heard that her aunt and uncle had a notably good relationship and were famous as a model couple within their social circle, unlike other wealthy families constantly wrapped in scandal.
Regarding this, Deng Huijun held reservations.
She had seen too much of the ugliness beneath the glamorous surface in upper-class society.
Who knows if beneath the harmonious facade of the Chang Family, they weren’t keeping mistresses and being cold to each other?
And her cousin Chang Yu was rumored to be raised like a precious jewel by her family.
Previously, Deng Huijun was indifferent to this, but after seeing Chang Yu, she believed it.
If she hadn’t grown up cherished and protected from any darkness, how else could Chang Yu possess those untainted eyes?
She watched Chang Yu walk away with her documents, a hint of disdain flashing in her beautiful eyes.
Now she understood why her mother so disliked her aunt.
Because now, she herself also felt a strong dislike towards Chang Yu.
It’s that kind of situation where things she achieved through countless sacrifices and efforts were effortlessly acquired in Chang Yu’s world.
Such disparity easily breeds imbalance within one’s heart.
And the consequence of this imbalance is the emergence of resentment.
Especially, Deng Huijun originally didn’t have a good impression of Chang Yu.
It is indeed very easy to dislike someone.
...
Gu Shengyin carried the documents to the grade director.
She knew all the stories about spraining ankles or delivering documents were just pretexts.
If her guess was correct, within a few days, Deng Huijun should contact her with a grateful heart.
Her prediction was spot on.
But she evidently overestimated Deng Huijun’s patience.
The next day, she "coincidentally" encountered Deng Huijun at school.
Looking at the thirteen-centimeter high heels on Deng Huijun’s feet, Gu Shengyin chuckled inwardly.
Could she be more convincing with her lies?
She supposedly sprained her foot yesterday, yet continues to wear sky-high heels today?
Isn’t she afraid of actually twisting her foot later?
