The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Doesn’t Look Starved

Xu Wenwan returned a week or so early.

It was a little different from what was written in the novel.

Gu Jiaojiao felt a sense of unease.

When she looked at Xu Wenwan, the other woman looked back at her.

Her eyes held a hint of assessment and scrutiny.

It gave Gu Jiaojiao a vague sense of familiarity.

By the time she took a closer look, the other woman had already turned away, as if the earlier assessment and scrutiny had just been her imagination.

Gu Jiaojiao withdrew her gaze and headed home.

Since she became Gu Jiaojiao, the only part of the plot she had changed was her relationship with Leng Yuan.

In the original book, she didn’t marry Leng Yuan. Instead, she ruined his reputation.

Under Li Hongmei’s instigation, she moved back to the educated youth quarters.

Xu Wenwan returned after she had moved back to the educated youth quarters. The female lead was beautiful, intelligent, and gentle, and everyone immediately took a liking to her.

The original Gu Jiaojiao saw how popular the female lead was, while she herself was ostracized by the other educated youths.

Those educated youths treated the original Gu Jiaojiao like a virus, desperately staying away from her.

They wouldn’t even eat with her, completely isolating her.

The original Gu Jiaojiao was furious and grew increasingly jealous of Xu Wenwan, trying to trip her up at every turn. But the female lead practically wiped the floor with her, turning her into a pariah that everyone despised.

On top of that, the original Gu Jiaojiao couldn’t do manual labor and lived off her money, which gave her a bad reputation. Being beautiful on top of all that attracted hoodlums who tried to harass her.

Fortunately, while the original Gu Jiaojiao wasn’t the sharpest, she was feisty enough to scare them all away.

The original Gu Jiaojiao officially became someone that not even the local riffraff would look twice at.

She couldn’t work and couldn’t get enough to eat, and her end was utterly miserable.

After transmigrating into the book, she knew full well she wasn’t cut out for manual labor either. Besides, she’d already given herself to Leng Yuan, a man who was perfectly her type, so she decisively clung to him for support.

Now that Xu Wenwan was back, it meant the plot was really heating up, and she, the villainess, was about to have a run of bad luck.

She tried her best to snag a rich husband, but in the end, not a single one married her.

It caused her to have so many abortions that she eventually lost the ability to get pregnant.

With no other choice, she could only vent her anger in her book.

Every time she wrote about crushing Gu Jiaojiao underfoot and publicly exposing her hypocritical mask, she felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Thinking of Gu Jiaojiao reminded Xu Wenwan of the woman she had just seen on the road. That face was a spitting image of her cousin’s.

The moment she saw that face, she felt the urge to crush the woman under her heel.

’The ending I arranged for Gu Jiaojiao in the book was far too lenient. Now that I, the original author, am here, I’ll make sure Gu Jiaojiao’s ending is even more tragic.’

What puzzled her, however, was that the Gu Jiaojiao she had just seen seemed to be in good shape.

By this point, Gu Jiaojiao should have already moved back to the educated youth quarters, living a life where she was cold and hungry.

But the Gu Jiaojiao she had just seen looked nothing like someone who was cold and hungry.

Her bright features were rosy, her eyes were bright and full of spirit, radiating a vibrant light. She was full of energy and looked nothing like someone who was going hungry...
