The matter of Gu Zheng and Qiao Xiâs marriage had never been made public, but there were also some people who knew the inside story. Hence, everyone present guessed that Qiao Xi was Mrs. Gu.
However, Yao Mengqing already knew that Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng were married. Why did she still insist on calling her âMiss Qiaoâ?
Moreover, when Old Madam Li wanted to call Qiao Xi âMrs. Guâ, it was Yao Mengqing who called her âMiss Qiaoâ first. She interrupted Old Madam Li and led everyone to call Qiao Xi âMiss Qiaoâ.
Yao Mengqing looked at the crowdâs disdainful and mocking gazes and felt a sense of shame.
Her face was pale as she resisted the fear in her heart. Her voice trembled. âI⦠Iâm not doing it on purpose. Iâm just used to it.â
Li Xingâer snorted. âWho are you kidding? I think youâre just denying it on purpose.â
Qiao Xi pretended to be surprised, then she smiled meaningfully. âMiss Li, youâre right. Miss Yao knew that Iâm Mrs. Gu a long time ago, but she has always addressed me as âMiss Qiaoâ. Moreover, you came to our house several times without an invitation and even asked to stay there. Although you didnât succeed, itâs clear you actually want toâ¦â
Qiao Xi specially emphasized the word âourâ. She did not say anything else, but everyone understood what she meant.
âHah! Yao Mengqing wants to be a mistress. She wants to stay in Longwan Residential as a friend and pretend to be President Guâs friend. Actually, she has always wanted to interfere in the relationship between Mrs. Gu and President Gu.â
âIsnât she just a b*tch?â
âNo wonder she and Zhao Qinghui put on an act just to mock Mrs. Gu for not entering the finals back then. Who knew that she would shoot herself in the foot?â
âZhao Qinghui kept forcing Mrs. Gu to perform because he wanted to step on her and highlight how good Yao Mengqingâs violin skills are.â
Everyone sneered. âUnfortunately, Yao Mengqing won the championship back then because of a conspiracy. Mrs. Gu is the true champion!â
Yao Mengqingâs blood froze when she heard the mocking laughter around her.
Her legs went weak, and she did not know how to explain herself. Her voice trembled as she choked. âXi Xi, I⦠I treat both President Gu and you as friends. I really donât mean anything else.â
âMiss Yao, please call me âMrs. Guâ,â Qiao Xi said coldly.
Yao Mengqing instantly choked. Her face was as pale as paper, and she was about to break down.
Lin Jie finally could not take it anymore. âQiao Xi! Donât go too far!â
Qiao Xi said casually, âMiss Yao, what are you afraid of? Is calling me âMrs. Guâ so difficult for you?â
Everyoneâs burning gazes landed on Yao Mengqing.
Even though Yao Mengqing and President Gu were once a couple, that was all in the past. Now that Qiao Xi was the real Mrs. Gu, why was she pretending to be aggrieved?
Moreover, Yao Mengqing had always said to the public that she was President Guâs friend. She had never said that the two of them were a couple. Now that President Gu was married, she ran over to disgust Qiao Xi and pretended to be weak. She was really a b*tch.
Yao Mengqing was about to break down.
She had never been so embarrassed before because she was the beloved daughter of the Yao family and Gu Zhengâs childhood sweetheart. In Li City, many people would suck up to her and no one would make things difficult for her, much less attack her like this.
However, because of Qiao Xi, everyone was criticizing her. Their gazes were filled with ridicule and disdain. How could she raise her head in high society in the future?
âMrsâ¦. Mrs. Guâ¦â Yao Mengqing said with difficulty. She instantly felt dizzy and fainted.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMengqing!â Lin Jie hurriedly supported her, looking worried. âMengqing! Mengqing! Madam Yao, Iâll send Mengqing to the hospital!â
Then, Lin Jie raised his eyes and glared fiercely at Qiao Xi. He then carried Yao Mengqing horizontally and left the hall.
Yao Mengqing collapsed weakly in Lin Jieâs arms, her body still trembling.
She gritted her teeth and suppressed her trembling.
It was all Qiao Xiâs fault! Qiao Xi had harmed her!
