Seeing her sister suffer, Yao Mengqi was exasperated.
"Sister! What did you do wrong? It's her..."
Yao Mengqi looked at Qiao Xi's proud expression and was angered to the point her face turned livid. She could not care less.
"President Gu, my sister did it for your sake in case you didn't know that you're being cuckolded! Qiao Xi got together with this old man and even bought a shop for him. That has cost you a lot of money, President Gu. You—"
"Cuckold?" Gu Zheng sneered, his deep voice sounded urgent.
Yao Mengqi was so scared that she took a few steps back. Her voice was trembling. "Yes! She made you a cuckold. Otherwise, why did she come out to shop with an old man?"
"Miss Yao, you don't have an uncle?" Gu Zheng asked coldly.
Yao Mengqi was stunned. She was so nervous that she could not say anything.
"When you saw Qiao Xi with a man, your thoughts went astray. Could it be that this is the upbringing of the Yao family? Aren't all of your thoughts too dirty? What's wrong with Qiao Xi going shopping with her elders? How did it become an inappropriate relationship in your eyes?"
Gu Zheng's thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was filled with disdain. "I've broadened my horizons today. The Yao family's upbringing is indeed extraordinary."
Yao Mengqing's legs went weak and she almost lost her balance. She hurriedly explained, "Ah Zheng, I..."
Just then, Song Shijing stopped her. "Miss Yao, our young madam is innocent and weak. Our president doesn't want her to be bullied again or be led astray by the Yao family.
"Miss Yao, please walk the other way if you ever see Young Madam in the future."
Yao Mengqing defended herself weakly. "Ah Zheng, Qi Qi and I misunderstood, but I really did it for your own good. I didn't mean to bully Xi Xi!"
Qiao Xi gently advised. "Hubby, Miss Yao is right. She's beautiful and kind-hearted. She didn't mean to say that I made you a cuckold! She's also your friend. How could she wish to ruin our marriage?
"I think the elders of the Yao family must have done something out of line to make Miss Yao misunderstand me. You can't blame her for this. It's the influence of her family!"
Yao Mengqing: "..."
'B*tch! I'll kill you!'
Her heart felt heavy and she was so angry that she was about to vomit blood. However, she still forced herself to smile bitterly. "Ah Zheng, in that case... I'll take my leave."
Yao Mengqing's tears streamed down her face as she cried and rushed out.
At this moment, someone ran over. "Mengqing?"
Yao Mengqing saw the person in front of her and wiped her tears aggrievedly.
The person in front of her was Gu Zheng's good friend, Lin Jie. He looked at Yao Mengqing, who was sobbing uncontrollably, and his heart ached. "Who bullied you? I'll take revenge for you!"
Yao Mengqing quickly denied it. "No, no."
Lin Jie's eyes turned cold. Yao Mengqing was the only woman among their group of childhood playmates, so everyone doted on her and treated her as their own sister. With the few of them as her backers, who would dare to bully her?
Yao Mengqing had always been an optimistic person, and this was the first time she cried so miserably. Lin Jie asked softly, "Mengqing, don't be afraid. Tell me what happened."
"Ah Jie, I-I'm fine..."
Yao Mengqi came running out to catch up to her sister. When she saw this, she blurted out, "How could you be fine? She treated you like this, so why would you show her any mercy?!"
"Young Master Lin, do you know about President Gu's marriage? That Mrs. Gu is really a vicious person. She bullied my sister and even made President Gu cut off all ties with my sister!"
Yao Mengqing hurriedly said, "Qi Qi, stop talking!"
"Ah Jie, Sister-in-law... She's just jealous and thinks because I'm a woman, she doesn't want me to keep in contact with Ah Zheng. I understand her intentions, so just stay out of this..."
Lin Jie was instantly infuriated. "I didn't expect Ah Zheng to bully you after marrying such a woman. You're our younger sister. Even if you marry one day, you're still the most important person to us.
"Our brothers all have girlfriends or wives by our side, but we get along very well with you. Is it just this Mrs. Gu who doesn't take you seriously?
"We grew up together. You and Ah Zheng even slept on the same bed with the same blanket. At that time, Mrs. Gu still didn't know Ah Zheng!
"Who does she think she is? She even made Ah Zheng cut ties with you?"
