Chapter 317: Delusional Victim Mentality

Ning Shu stood in front of the fences without going in. Wen Ruhua turned around and said mockingly, “Oh, I forgot, you’re the wife of an important official, how could you get used to staying in a simple thatch house like this?”

Ning Shu shook her head solemnly and said, “I really am unused to it. Cousin, I never thought that you were living in such terrible conditions. You should have looked for me. I would’ve been able to scrap a little together and get you an upper quality house with white walls and gray roof tiles. There was no need for you to force yourself to endure such terrible conditions.”

Wen Ruhua’s face twisted with anger and he shouted, “Shut the fuck up! Your wealth was the result of you selling your dignity. It’s disgusting!”

Ning Shu: …

Ning Shu felt that there was really something seriously wrong with Wen Ruhua’s head. His delusional victim mentality was too strong, he acted as if the entire world had wronged him.

Ning Shu could understand the woman’s side of it. Bai Qinxiang had only chosen a man that had slightly better conditions who would be able to provide her with a better life. It showed a little desire for wealth and honor, but it wasn’t a grave sin like Wen Ruhua was making it out to be. Could it be that it had never occured to Wen Ruhua that it was partially his problem for not being able to give Bai Qinxiang a sense of security and safety?

Amitabha Buddha. Ning Shu felt that it was good that Bai Qinxiang had been able to get away from Wen Ruhua. Even if you were going to go through trials and tribulations with a man, it should be with a man that deserves your trust. Wen Ruhua was a man without any sense of direction. Based on how immature he was acting even now, he definitely wouldn’t amount to much in the future either.

Ning Shu pressed her lips together and took out an ingot of silver. She threw it on the ground hard, making a little dent, as she said haughtily, “Cousin, there’s seriously no way Qinxiang could stay comfortably in a house like this. Take the silver and have a carpenter fix the house a little. This thatch house looks as if it can’t even keep out the rain.”

Wen Ruhua’s face turned sinister. He picked up the silver and threw it at her as he snarled, “Scram! Take your disgusting money and get out of here! Even if I starve to death, I still wouldn’t accept such dirty charity.”

Ning Shu dodged the attack before picking up the silver and leisurely putting it back into her purse. She said mildly, “Qinxiang just felt that Cousin has it hard and wanted to help out a little financially to let Cousin live a bit better. That way, you can use your time to study rather than spend it picking herbs. Cousin is talented in the literatures. It’d be a shame not to develop it due to mudane struggles.”

“What does my circumstances have to do with you? Since that day in which you betrayed our promise, we have been strangers! Bai Qinxiang, what identity are you trying to use now to get involved in my life!?” When Wen Ruhua heard Ning Shu say that she wanted to help him out financially with such a aloof, generous tone, he felt humiliated and furious.

He would sooner die than accept this woman’s money. Even though he may look pitiful, he found this way of life better. There was no way he would cave in to Bai Qinxiang.

Ning Shu finally moved towards compromise. “Fine, Qinxiang will accept Cousin’s decisions and won’t try to make you accept my money anymore. Cousin, where should I stay?”

When Wen Ruhua saw that Ning Shu had expressed deference, his heart flooded with smug delight. Ever since they had re-encountered each other, Bai Qinxiang had acted haughty and aloof. She kept saying that she was here to seek shelter from him, but her attitude was nasty and she showed none of the meekness she should have had when asking for a favor.

Ning Shu and Yue Lan chose a room. The room was so simple that it looked like a gust of wind could rip the walls right off. In addition, the room was damp and some areas of the grass wall was already rotten. How was a person supposed to live in a house like this?
