Chapter 251: How Long Are You Going To Keep Pretending?
Liang Pingchuan was stunned for a moment. He did not care what QR code it was. All he needed to do was swipe his card.
He touched his pocket and suddenly froze, frowning.
Damn, his clothes did not have any pockets, hence he handed his bank card to Xue Liang for safekeeping!
The smile on the cashier’s face gradually vanished. Qiao Xi took out her bank card and handed it to her.
At this moment, Yao Mengqi seized the opportunity and mocked sarcastically, “Hah! So this old man doesn’t have any money either. Since he doesn’t have any money, why does he have the cheek to keep a woman? Qiao Xi, are you blind?! Be careful or you’ll go broke!”
Qiao Xi frowned.
Liang Pingchuan was angry. “People who spout nonsense will have their tongues pulled out in hell after they die.”
Hearing this, Yao Mengqi had a look of disdain. “Old man! You came from the mountains, right? What tongue-pulling in hell are you talking about? I don’t believe it! You look strange wearing ancient clothes. You must be a big liar!”
Qiao Xi put away the bank card, and her expression turned cold.
She did not want to make a fuss about it, but this woman actually scolded her teacher?
Qiao Xi calmly took out her phone, signed a contract, and transferred a sum of money to him. After that, the corners of her mouth curled into a smile.
“Qi Qi, don’t say that. He probably just forgot to bring his card.”
Immediately after, Yao Mengqing looked at Qiao Xi and said with an apologetic expression, “Xi Xi, it’s my fault for what happened before. I wanted to give you the tickets to Xue Liang’s art exhibition, but you didn’t accept them. Why don’t… I buy you the clothes? I’ll fork out the money, but you and Ah Zheng are already married. It’s better… to keep a distance from other men.”
Yao Mengqing slowly walked up to the cashier and said gently, “Hello, I’ll help Miss Qiao pay. Just swipe my card.”
The cashier immediately smiled and said, “Alright! Miss Yao, you’re so generous!”
“Some people shouldn’t pretend to be rich if they don’t have money! Since Miss Qiao is already married, why is she still shopping with another man? She’s really a loose woman!”
The cashier handed the bag of clothes to Qiao Xi and glared at Liang Pingchuan. “Tsk! Why are you pretending to be rich?!”
Qiao Xi looked at the shopping bags and said coldly, “I don’t want the clothes anymore.”
Yao Mengqing said gently, “Xi Xi, don’t be polite with me. Take it as my apology. I hope you won’t mind what happened before…”
“I’m not being polite.”
Qiao Xi’s expression was composed. “Do I need to spend money to get the clothes in my own shop?”
Liang Pingchuan had a proud look on his face. ‘Our Little Six is so domineering!’
The smile on Yao Mengqing’s face froze. Yao Mengqi, who was at the side, could not help but laugh.
“Did I hear wrongly? You said this shop belongs to you? Do you think I’m stupid?! How can this shop belong to you?”
“I just bought this shop.”
Qiao Xi instructed the manager, “Kick everyone else out.”
The cashier shuddered and turned pale.
Yao Mengqi looked at this scene in disbelief. The owner of the shop had changed so quickly?
Yao Mengqing frowned. “Xi Xi, you said that you just bought this shop? Did you use Ah Zheng’s money to do it?”
Everyone looked at her in confusion.
Yao Mengqing bit her lip and hesitated. “As Ah Zheng’s wife, it’s fine for you to spend his money, but…
“In order to stand up for this man, aren’t you spending… too much of Ah Zheng’s money?”
Yao Mengqi reacted and instantly shouted, “Qiao Xi! You’re spending your husband’s money to fool around outside! If your husband finds out, he’ll definitely beat you to death!”
Seeing that Qiao Xi did not say anything, Yao Mengqi became even fiercer. “If you don’t say anything, then it means that you’re tacitly agreeing! Your father has already cut off all ties with you. Now, it’s your husband who’s supporting you. Instead of coaxing your husband, you even dare to acquire a shop for an old man? You’re really crazy!”
Yao Mengqing said earnestly, “Xi Xi, I’ll pretend I didn’t see it this time. I won’t tell Ah Zheng, but I hope you can… stop contacting this man as soon as possible. Don’t ruin your family because of him.”
She slowly went forward and advised gently, “Wake up a little. Consider breaking up with him for Ah Zheng’s sake!”
Qiao Xi glanced at the man not far away and said with an icy cold voice, “Yao Mengqing, how long are you going to keep pretending?”
Yao Mengqing widened her eyes in grievances..
Chapter 252: The Women At The Foot Of The Mountain Are Tigers
Yao Mengqi suddenly rushed over and roared, “My sister is doing this for your own good. She’s worried that you’ll go astray. How dare you say that she’s pretending? You’re already married but you’re still fooling around with old men. You pretend to be noble, but you’re actually dirtier than anyone else!
“I think there are many more men apart from this old uncle, right? How many men have you been with? Are you crazy? My sister tried to persuade you out of kindness, but you think she’s harming you—”
“Heh! The Yao family is really full of talents.” The man’s cold laughter sounded slowly.
Gu Zheng’s eyes were deep, and his expression was cold as he slowly walked out with his long legs.
Liang Pingchuan looked at the man’s cold expression and wondered if he had caused trouble.
He had only wanted to give Little Six a few clothes, but he did not expect that others would misunderstand their relationship. It would be troublesome if Little Six’s husband got jealous.
Maybe he should hurry back up the mountain. The women at the foot of the mountain were like tigers!
Liang Pingchuan was about to call Xue Liang.
Yao Mengqi looked at the person who had just arrived and shouted unhappily, “I’m not done talking yet you’re interrupting me? Who the heck are you?”
Gu Zheng’s entire body exuded the aura of a king, making Yao Mengqi feel fear in her heart. However, she cared about her reputation and shouted unwillingly, “Qiao Xi, where did you seduce this wild man again…?”
“Qi Qi!” Yao Mengqing stopped her immediately, her face pale.
She was the eldest daughter of the Yao family, after all. She had been through a lot. She squeezed out a smile and said gently, “Ah Zheng, you’re here too.”
Gu Zheng glanced at her coldly and turned his face away in disgust.
Song Shijing said coldly, “Miss Yao, not everyone can call the president by his name. Only those close to him can call him ‘Ah Zheng’. You’re not related to the president, so you should still call him ‘President Gu’ in the future.”
Yao Mengqing choked and her heart trembled.
Yao Mengqi, who was standing at the side, trembled in fear when she heard this person’s name. Her face was filled with horror. “President Gu?”
He was the rumored head of the Gu family, Gu Zheng?
At this moment, Yao Mengqi was extremely regretful. Why did she have to say such things just now? She looked at Yao Mengqing, who had a calm expression.
Gu Zheng would probably not bicker with her. After all, the two of them were doing this for Gu Zheng. It was Qiao Xi who was fooling around with a man behind his back, while the two of them were even advising Qiao Xi!
Gu Zheng stood by Qiao Xi’s side and lowered his head slightly. His voice was calm, and one could not tell if he was angry. “Mrs. Gu, you’ve suffered.”
Liang Pingchuan was a little uneasy. He was thinking about how he should greet Gu Zheng, but he was afraid that Gu Zheng would misunderstand his relationship with Little Six. That would be awkward.
Before Liang Pingchuan could speak, Qiao Xi’s cold face suddenly became aggrieved.
“Ah Zheng, I feel so wronged! Miss Yao said that she’s your friend and she’s doing everything all for my own good. She didn’t listen to my explanation and immediately started lecturing me. I was too embarrassed to retort.
“Besides, if I said anything unpleasant, it’d ruin your friendship.”
Yao Mengqing felt suffocated. Qiao Xi was really good at acting!
She said that she did not want to ruin their friendship, but every word was an accusation.
Gu Zheng frowned and did not even bother looking at Yao Mengqing. “Song Shijing.”
Song Shijing understood what he meant. “Miss Yao, you and the president only know each other. You’re not friends at all. Even if Young Madam has done something wrong, you’re in no position to educate her.
“Miss Yao, have you thought about the consequences of trying to get close to the president and even bullying the young madam? You’re a smart person. I won’t say anything unnecessary. What do you think?”
Yao Mengqing’s eyes were vicious. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Was Ah Zheng going to cut off all ties with her for Qiao Xi’s sake?
They had grown up together since they were young and had been friends for more than 20 years. However, he did not even want to be friends anymore because of Qiao Xi?
B*tch! She still dared to complain?
Could it be that Ah Zheng really liked women with Qiao Xi’s character?
Perhaps Ah Zheng was just trying to get something new. It was her fault for being too reserved and conservative all these years. If she had tried to seduce Ah Zheng like Qiao Xi, would the outcome have been different?
Yao Mengqing sniffled and choked. “Alright, I was too nosy. Ah Zheng… No, I shouldn’t have interfered in President Gu’s matter.. I was wrong.”
