Chapter 34

Just moments ago, Hua Ying'an was feeling proud.

Zhan's Mother said that she and Zhan Yiran were the same, both her daughters, without mentioning Gu Nanyan.

But in the next second, Gu Nanyan became a treasure.

Hua Ying'an didn't know what to say for a while, then finally spoke: "Auntie, if you say this, wouldn't Yiran be jealous?"

Zhan Yiran immediately shook her head: "No, I feel that Sister-in-law is not only a treasure, but a rare treasure."

Hua Ying'an: "......"

She felt that Zhan's Mother and Zhan Yiran were a bit too crazy.

Gu Nanyan was indeed very capable and genuinely kind to them, but did they have to praise her so highly?

Wasn't that a bit exaggerated?

Lunch was ready, and everyone sat down.

Hua Ying'an ate two large shrimps and a crab, constantly praising how fresh and delicious they were, saying she could eat a lot.

Zhan's Mother was delighted to hear this, and quickly used the serving chopsticks to portion dishes for Hua Ying'an, encouraging her to eat more.

"Delicious." Hua Ying'an was about to eat a crab.

Suddenly, Gu Nanyan's clear, cold voice came from the side: "Servant, remove the seafood in front of Miss Hua."

What?

Everyone was startled by Gu Nanyan's voice, looking at her in shock.

Hua Ying'an's face turned pale, causing her to drop the cup in front of her.

It wasn't until the water spilled onto her leg that she reacted.

She knew that under such favorable circumstances, Gu Nanyan would never let her off easily!

Here it comes, Gu Nanyan is finally making her move!

Hua Ying'an clenched her palms tightly, telling herself to stay calm and absolutely not lose composure.

"Gu Nanyan, what do you mean by this? Revenge? I know I was wrong earlier, I shouldn't have spoken to you like that when we first met. But I've already apologized, whether sincerely or not, I've apologized. So what are you doing now, trying to embarrass me?"

By the end, Hua Ying'an's eyes were red.

Gu Nanyan was peeling a crab on her plate. Hearing Hua Ying'an's question, she raised her eyes slightly. Her gaze was deep, like a black night, revealing no thoughts.

She put down the crab-peeling utensils and slowly spoke: "Aren't you allergic? Since you're uncomfortable, why force yourself?"

What!

Hua Ying'an's pupils widened abruptly, almost shattering the plate in her agitation.

How did she know?

How did Gu Nanyan know she was allergic to seafood?

This had always been her secret, and she had never told anyone.

Everyone thought she loved seafood, and no one knew she was allergic.

Hua Ying'an's lips trembled slightly, and it took her a long time to regain her composure.

Concealing the turmoil within, she calmly said: "Who said I was allergic?"

At this point, Zhan's Mother spoke up: "Nanyan, you're mistaken. Ying'an isn't allergic to seafood, and she really enjoys eating it. When she was little, I often saw her eat seafood. She was so good at peeling crabs, her grandfather always praised her."

Zhan Yiran also said: "Yes, Sister-in-law, you're really mistaken. Elder Sister Hua loves seafood and isn't allergic to it."

"Is that so?"

Gu Nanyan raised her eyes slightly, her dim gaze sweeping over Hua Ying'an's face, then asked: "Why is your mouth swollen?"

Because of this question, everyone's gaze fell on Hua Ying'an's mouth.

Indeed, her originally beautiful lips were slightly swollen and reddened, as if about to split open.

"It's really swollen!" Zhan Yiran exclaimed loudly.

Hua Ying'an hurriedly covered her swollen lips, feeling very uneasy.

She remembered when she first ate seafood as a child, her lips swelled and turned red, her whole body itched, and she felt very uncomfortable. But no one cared about her; instead, they laughed and said she was greedy, eating until her mouth turned red.

Her grandfather protected her, saying seafood was good, and that Ying'an was like him, loving seafood.

Hua Old Master was the emperor of the Hua family, with numerous descendants, none of whom amounted to anything, all relying on the Old Master alone.

With a word from him, the others immediately dared not laugh. And in order to please the Old Master, these children and grandchildren all claimed to love seafood as well.

But with Hua Ying'an, the granddaughter who loved seafood, at the forefront, the others' claims were clearly just following suit. Hua Old Master was displeased and waved them all away.

Because she shared this love of seafood with her grandfather, Hua's Father and Hua's Mother began forcing Hua Ying'an to eat seafood, proclaiming everywhere that this granddaughter was just like the Old Master, loving seafood.

In the Hua family, Hua Old Master was the emperor, and only by pleasing him could one receive more money.

Hua Ying'an was just a tool for her parents to vie for favor and money.

In fact, Hua Ying'an couldn't taste the flavor of seafood at all. To her, seafood was spicy, prickly, and every bite felt like needles rolling down her throat.

But no one cared whether she liked it or not, whether she was allergic or not. Everyone only cared about money.

For over twenty years, everyone thought she loved seafood, and even Hua Ying'an herself claimed to love seafood.

Only Gu Nanyan, this seemingly cold and indifferent yet meticulous woman before her, noticed her allergy.

Hua Ying'an's emotions were complex, with an indescribable feeling. Her originally cold and withered heart seemed to have been sprinkled with a bit of warm water, making it damp and warm.

But this emotion only lasted an instant, and she quickly regained her composure. If it were the helpless young Hua Ying'an, she might have been touched by this warmth.

But the now grown-up Hua Ying'an didn't need this useless concern.

She looked at Gu Nanyan coldly, raising her defenses like a porcupine ready to attack: "Mind your own business! Who are you? Do you have the right to manage me? Whether I'm allergic or not, whether I like seafood or not, what does it have to do with you?

Don't be so presumptuous. Yiran and Auntie may fall for your tricks, but they won't work on me. Don't think you can win me over and change my opinion of you with these little schemes. I'm telling you, it's impossible."

"Elder Sister Hua, why are you doing this?" Zhan Yiran stomped her feet anxiously. "Sister-in-law was just looking out for you."

Zhan's Mother also frowned. "Ying'an, that's enough."

Hua Ying'an lowered her head, clenching her fists tightly. She knew she was being unreasonable, but she had to say those words.

She didn't need concern, didn't need anyone's kindness.

Because... being cared for could be addictive, and she didn't want to be addicted. She would rather live in a cold, hypocritical world.

Hua Ying'an kept her head down, not daring to look at Gu Nanyan. When she spoke those harsh words earlier, she was as sharp as a knife. But after saying them, she felt as if her body had been hollowed out, without an ounce of strength left.

She knew that Gu Nanyan would no longer pay attention to her; this precious warmth had been pushed away by her own hands.
