The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth twitched. “Madam Jiang, I heard that you stole Eldest Miss’ fiance back then. Looking at how proud you are, you must be very happy about that, right?”
Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow.
Lu Xiang looked awkward, but she had experienced a lot and quickly calmed down. Without changing her expression, she said, “Miss Qiao, where did you hear the rumors? Mr. Jiang and I fell in love a long time ago.”
“Why would a mistress admit to being a mistress?”
Qiao Xi sneered. “The Madam Gu who you all look down on has always been unwilling to admit that she’s the third party. However, when she came to the Gu family, Eldest Miss Lu was clearly still alive. If she’s not the third party, what is she?”
When she said this, Qiao Xi paused for a moment. “Right, Madam Jiang, you and Madam Gu both used Eldest Miss Lu to get to where you are today. Since both of you are the same, doesn’t scolding her remind you of yourself?
“You’ve always been the third party. Are you more special than others?”
The room was eerily quiet. The air seemed to have frozen.
Lu Xiang’s body trembled. After so many years of history were exposed on the spot, she could not wait to find a hole to crawl into.
“Shut up! That’s not true at all. Besides, Eldest Miss Lu didn’t marry into the Jiang family back then. Can’t my aunt marry into the Jiang family?”
“Gu Zheng is an illegitimate child! His mother is a mistress! She destroyed someone else’s family, so how can she compare to Aunt?”
A junior of the Lu family shouted angrily.
Qiao Xi sneered. “According to you, only those who interfere in marriages are considered mistresses, so it doesn’t matter if the couple wasn’t married? Is there something wrong with your Lu family’s values? Eldest Miss Lu is really unlucky to have encountered a group of weirdos from your Lu family!”
“You!” The Lu family’s junior instantly choked up.
He had only blurted it out without thinking too much about it. If news of this got out, he would not be able to raise his head again.
Back then, it was true that Eldest Miss Lu and Young Master Jiang were engaged, but it was a marriage between the two families, so they had no relationship with each other.
Moreover, his aunt had been married for so many years and had been living a happy life. This meant that the Jiang family liked her more. She was not a mistress at all!
Lu Xiang forced herself to calm down. “Miss Qiao, I was very sad about my sister’s death as well. Because of that, the Lu family and the Gu family have not been in contact for many years. We’ve been in a deadlock. The Lu family bears a grudge against the Gu family for causing my sister’s death. At the same time, we’re also very guilty. Back then, we didn’t protect my sister well and caused her to suffer so much… However, we’ve found her child now. The child is in the Lu family.”
She waved her hand. “Lu Yan, come over. This is President Qin’s sister, Qiao Xi.”
Lu Yan was dressed in light colors, making him look clean and clear. His voice was gentle. “Miss Qiao, long time no see.”
Qiao Xi raised her eyes. “…”
Lu Xiang had a sad look on her face. “It’s a pity that Lu Yan lost his mother when he was young. He refused to acknowledge the Gu family and decided to stay in the Lu family. If it were not for that mistress… my sister would not have passed away. She would have raised Lu Yan herself.”
She was undoubtedly saying that Gu Zheng had snatched what originally belonged to Lu Yan.
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. “Isn’t it very good for you to be able to raise Lu Yan yourself?
“Although the person raising him is his mother’s former fiance and his aunt who’s a mistress, it’s fortunate that Lu Yan doesn’t hate you guys. It seems that his feelings for his mother aren’t too deep either. People who live together will grow to have the same temperament. You’re all quite heartless.”
Qiao Xi looked gentle on the surface but she had already cursed them thousands of times in her heart.
“You…” Lu Xiang’s face turned red and white. Tears were about to fall from her eyes.
Miss Qiao, I’ve already said that my husband and I…”
“You’re right. You and your husband are very loving. Even though you were once a mistress, you’re very happy now! You don’t care if your sister is dead or alive. You’re such a good sister. You’re not wrong at all! You should be happy for the rest of your life!”
No way!
Qiao Xi muttered in her heart. Even she felt disgusted saying these words.
“Madam Jiang, you’re living a happy life now, while Eldest Miss Lu is no longer alive. You’re right about everything!”
Lu Xiang’s eyes widened, but she could not say a word. “…”
