Qiao Xi gradually smiled.
Before she could say anything, the butler could not help but say, âMadam, what youâre doing is too unreasonable. You want Young Madam to move out of the master bedroom and even want Miss Meng to live with Young Master. Young Madam and Young Master are legally married.â With that, he glanced at Meng Wan and continued, âEven if you want to take the initiative to send her to him, you shouldnât be doing it like thisâ¦â
The moment Madam Gu heard the words âYoung Madamâ, she slammed down her teacup. âYoung Madam? Is she worthy? I think youâre being too silly, butler. Ever since you left the old residence, youâve forgotten who the master is, havenât you? And Qiao Xi, if youâre sensible, you should understand that you and Meng Wan are from different worlds. The difference between you two is the difference between heaven and earth.â
âThe third floor is not a place you can stay in. You can shamelessly stay in Longwan Residential and I can generously give you a room to stay in, but not the master bedroom. People like you should stay in the servantsâ room. Arenât you afraid of losing your life? Poor people shouldnât be spending their lives in front of the rich.â
With that, she raised her chin and pointed arrogantly at the servantsâ room. âNow, Iâll give you a chance to choose again. Do you want to obediently move out of the master bedroom yourself, or do you want me to throw you out?â
Qiao Xi narrowed her eyes. This woman was threatening her?
Meng Wan bit her lip. âAunt Lan, donât say that about Miss Qiao. Sheâs the eldest daughter of the Qiao family⦠The one who was brought back from the countryside.â
âWhat?! You came back from the countryside? No wonder youâre so uneducated!â Madam Gu pinched her nose as if Qiao Xi had some sort of bacteria on her body. âNot to mention the eldest young miss who came back from the countryside, even the proper young miss of the Qiao family canât compare to you, Meng Wan. Theyâre only worthy of helping you carry your shoes.â
âQiao Xi, listen carefully. Meng Wan is being magnanimous by not bickering with you. I advise you to be nicer to her. When she marries Gu Zheng, perhaps she can give you a way out!â
Meng Wan lowered her eyes and did not say anything.
Qiao Xi finally understood why Meng Wan had returned to the villa. It was because as long as she cried, many people would stand up for her. Mr. and Mrs. Meng were like this, as was Madam Gu. Meng Wan only needed to stand behind these people and quietly wait for them to get rid of all obstacles just so she could Gu Zheng.
âAunt Lanâ¦â Meng Wan tugged at Madam Guâs sleeve.â Forget it, Aunt Lan. Donât make things too difficult for Qiao Xi. Brother Gu Zheng will be unhappy if he finds out. â
Meng Wanâs eyes were filled with apology. âIâm sorry, Miss Qiao. Aunt Lan doesnât have any ill intention. Sheâs just straightforward. I like Aunt Lanâs character the most. Itâs not tiring to spend time with her. She says things directly, unlike others who beat about the bush.â
Qiao Xi: ââ¦â
Being straightforward and vicious with words were two different things.
Madam Gu was touched and patted the back of Meng Wanâs hand. âI like you the most. Iâve decided to have you as my daughter-in-law. I wonât even think about any other woman.â After she finished speaking, Madam Gu looked at Qiao Xi and sneered. âQiao Xi, youâre unwilling to move out because of money, right? A poor person like you who came from the countryside has probably never seen a family as rich as the Gu family, let alone live in such a luxurious house. Thatâs why youâre blinded by temptation and want to take advantage of Gu Zheng. Thatâs why you shamelessly became his mistress.
âSince itâs for money, I wonât beat about the bush with you. Iâll give you five million to leave Gu Zheng and get out of this house.â
Oh, she finally remembered to throw money at someone?
However, it was only five million yuan. It seemed that Madam. Gu was not as rich as the rumors made her out to be. Qiao Xi found it a little boring since the price was too low. What she lacked the least was money. She could easily earn tens of millions just by accepting a task. Madam Gu just wanted to humuliate her by getting her to take the money.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qiao Xiâs interest was piqued and she suddenly thought of a good idea to humiliate them. However, she did not expect someone else to speak first.
A male voice came from upstairs. His voice was calm but carried unquestionable authority. Gu Zhengâs peach blossom eyes were cold, and his thin lips were slightly curled up without a trace of emotion. âShamelessly become my mistress? Iâm officially married to my wife and weâve registered at the Civil Affairs Bureau. How did she becme my mistress?â
He was standing on Qiao Xiâs side and opposing Madam Gu. Madam Gu was so angry that her face was contorted.
Before Gu Zheng could finish, he looked at Meng Wan and said in an even more sinister tone, âAnd you⦠You know very well whether I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau that day to marry you or someone else.â
Meng Wanâs face instantly turned as pale as a sheet.
