Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The matter of Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi’s marriage had never been made public, but there were also some people who knew the inside story. Hence, everyone present guessed that Qiao Xi was Mrs. Gu.

However, Yao Mengqing already knew that Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng were married. Why did she still insist on calling her ‘Miss Qiao’?

Moreover, when Old Madam Li wanted to call Qiao Xi ‘Mrs. Gu’, it was Yao Mengqing who called her ‘Miss Qiao’ first. She interrupted Old Madam Li and led everyone to call Qiao Xi ‘Miss Qiao’.

Yao Mengqing looked at the crowd’s disdainful and mocking gazes and felt a sense of shame.

Her face was pale as she resisted the fear in her heart. Her voice trembled. “I… I’m not doing it on purpose. I’m just used to it.”

Li Xing’er snorted. “Who are you kidding? I think you’re just denying it on purpose.”

Qiao Xi pretended to be surprised, then she smiled meaningfully. “Miss Li, you’re right. Miss Yao knew that I’m Mrs. Gu a long time ago, but she has always addressed me as ‘Miss Qiao’. Moreover, you came to our house several times without an invitation and even asked to stay there. Although you didn’t succeed, it’s clear you actually want to…”

Qiao Xi specially emphasized the word ‘our’. She did not say anything else, but everyone understood what she meant.

“Hah! Yao Mengqing wants to be a mistress. She wants to stay in Longwan Residential as a friend and pretend to be President Gu’s friend. Actually, she has always wanted to interfere in the relationship between Mrs. Gu and President Gu.”

“Isn’t she just a b*tch?”

“No wonder she and Zhao Qinghui put on an act just to mock Mrs. Gu for not entering the finals back then. Who knew that she would shoot herself in the foot?”

“Zhao Qinghui kept forcing Mrs. Gu to perform because he wanted to step on her and highlight how good Yao Mengqing’s violin skills are.”

Everyone sneered. “Unfortunately, Yao Mengqing won the championship back then because of a conspiracy. Mrs. Gu is the true champion!”

Yao Mengqing’s blood froze when she heard the mocking laughter around her.

Her legs went weak, and she did not know how to explain herself. Her voice trembled as she choked. “Xi Xi, I… I treat both President Gu and you as friends. I really don’t mean anything else.”

“Miss Yao, please call me ‘Mrs. Gu’,” Qiao Xi said coldly.

Yao Mengqing instantly choked. Her face was as pale as paper, and she was about to break down.

Lin Jie finally could not take it anymore. “Qiao Xi! Don’t go too far!”

Qiao Xi said casually, “Miss Yao, what are you afraid of? Is calling me ‘Mrs. Gu’ so difficult for you?”

Everyone’s burning gazes landed on Yao Mengqing.

Even though Yao Mengqing and President Gu were once a couple, that was all in the past. Now that Qiao Xi was the real Mrs. Gu, why was she pretending to be aggrieved?

Moreover, Yao Mengqing had always said to the public that she was President Gu’s friend. She had never said that the two of them were a couple. Now that President Gu was married, she ran over to disgust Qiao Xi and pretended to be weak. She was really a b*tch.

Yao Mengqing was about to break down.

She had never been so embarra.s.sed before because she was the beloved daughter of the Yao family and Gu Zheng’s childhood sweetheart. In Li City, many people would suck up to her and no one would make things difficult for her, much less attack her like this.

However, because of Qiao Xi, everyone was criticizing her. Their gazes were filled with ridicule and disdain. How could she raise her head in high society in the future?

“Mrs…. Mrs. Gu…” Yao Mengqing said with difficulty. She instantly felt dizzy and fainted.

“Mengqing!” Lin Jie hurriedly supported her, looking worried. “Mengqing! Mengqing! Madam Yao, I’ll send Mengqing to the hospital!”

Then, Lin Jie raised his eyes and glared fiercely at Qiao Xi. He then carried Yao Mengqing horizontally and left the hall.

Yao Mengqing collapsed weakly in Lin Jie’s arms, her body still trembling.

She gritted her teeth and suppressed her trembling.

It was all Qiao Xi’s fault! Qiao Xi had harmed her!
