Chapter 65: It’s Just To Marry You
Qiao Xi gradually smiled.
Before she could say anything, the butler could not help but say, “Madam, what you’re 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.” With that, he glanced at Meng Wan and continued, “Even if you want to take the initiative to send her to him, you shouldn’t be doing it like this…”
The moment Madam Gu heard the words ‘Young Madam’, she slammed down her teacup. “Young Madam? Is she worthy? I think you’re being too silly, butler. Ever since you left the old residence, you’ve forgotten who the master is, haven’t you? And Qiao Xi, if you’re 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.”
“The 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 servants’ room. Aren’t you afraid of losing your life? Poor people shouldn’t be spending their lives in front of the rich.”
With that, she raised her chin and pointed arrogantly at the servants’ room. “Now, I’ll 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?”
Qiao Xi narrowed her eyes. This woman was threatening her?
Meng Wan bit her lip. “Aunt Lan, don’t say that about Miss Qiao. She’s the eldest daughter of the Qiao family… The one who was brought back from the countryside.”
“What?! You came back from the countryside? No wonder you’re so uneducated!” Madam Gu pinched her nose as if Qiao Xi had some sort of bacteria on her body. “Not to mention the eldest young miss who came back from the countryside, even the proper young miss of the Qiao family can’t compare to you, Meng Wan. They’re only worthy of helping you carry your shoes.”
“Qiao 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!”
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.
“Aunt Lan…” Meng Wan tugged at Madam Gu’s sleeve.” Forget it, Aunt Lan. Don’t make things too difficult for Qiao Xi. Brother Gu Zheng will be unhappy if he finds out. ”
Meng Wan’s eyes were filled with apology. “I’m sorry, Miss Qiao. Aunt Lan doesn’t have any ill intention. She’s just straightforward. I like Aunt Lan’s character the most. It’s not tiring to spend time with her. She says things directly, unlike others who beat about the bush.”
Qiao Xi: “…”
Being straightforward and vicious with words were two different things.
Madam Gu was touched and patted the back of Meng Wan’s hand. “I like you the most. I’ve decided to have you as my daughter-in-law. I won’t even think about any other woman.” After she finished speaking, Madam Gu looked at Qiao Xi and sneered. “Qiao Xi, you’re 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. That’s why you’re blinded by temptation and want to take advantage of Gu Zheng. That’s why you shamelessly became his mistress.
“Since it’s for money, I won’t beat about the bush with you. I’ll give you five million to leave Gu Zheng and get out of this house.”
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.
Qiao Xi’s 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 Zheng’s peach blossom eyes were cold, and his thin lips were slightly curled up without a trace of emotion. “Shamelessly become my mistress? I’m officially married to my wife and we’ve registered at the Civil Affairs Bureau. How did she becme my mistress?”
He was standing on Qiao Xi’s 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, “And you… You know very well whether I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau that day to marry you or someone else.”
Meng Wan’s face instantly turned as pale as a sheet.
