If Zhong Qianqian really became the daughter of a first-tier wealthy family, a person like Gu Mingzhe would not even fit to carry her shoes.
However, Gu Mingzhe dared to yell at her even when he knew about her respectable status. He even told her to handle it herself, or they would break up.
Thinking about this, Zhong Qianqian let out a scoff.
Meanwhile, that Zhong Nuannuan…
At the thought of Zhong Nuannuan, the jealousy in Zhong Qianqian’s heart lit up like a bonfire.
Why did all the good things only happen to Zhong Nuannuan?
She was so beautiful, had such a good figure, and had such a powerful background.
She did not need to work hard or fight for anything, and there would be countless men who would queue to offer her their love.
However, Zhong Qianqian had to be careful from the moment she was born, fearing making any mistake. She was afraid that if she made a single mistake, it would prove to be her doom.
At that thought, Zhong Qianqian felt an indescribable sense of hostility rising in her.
Between Zhong Nuannuan and herself, she was convinced that there should only be one person who should live in this world—and she was irrefutably the only one who deserved to live in this world.
Seriously—
If Yu already existed, why must Liang exist too?[1]
(Zhong Nuannuan from the distant Jiang District: Did you just compared yourself to Yu? Are you trying to force Yu from his grave out of anger?)
“Qianqian, are you done? Mrs. Wu is here with her daughter, Miss Wu. Come downstairs when you’re done. Let’s go shopping. I had my eyes on an evening gown last time. It costs more than a million yuan. It will suit you very well.”
Qin Yun spoke as she went upstairs. However, she spoke at an earsplitting volume as if she was afraid that the servants at home missed out on the fact that she was buying a gown worth more than a million yuan.
If it was before the phone call, Zhong Qianqian would definitely be very happy. However, she could not find any semblance of happiness right now.
She was the daughter of a first-tier wealthy family, yet she ended up in a lowly family like the Gu family. Most importantly, after their son married this golden goose like her, they were so stingy to spent a single cent on her. Even a mere dress that she wanted to buy for her cost only one million yuan. Was it worth Mrs. Gu shouting so loudly?
Zhong Qianqian was now very intrigued to see what Qin Yun and the Gu family’s bottom line was.
Zhong Qianqian opened the door and walked out with a grim expression on her face. However, she had already changed out from her outdoor clothes into a set of stay-indoor clothes.
Qin Yun was slightly taken aback when she saw Zhong Qianqian walk out in her house clothes.
“Qianqian, why haven’t you gotten changed?”
Zhong Qianqian ignored Qin Yun. Without even looking at Qin Yun, Zhong Qianqian shot downstairs.
Qin Yun, “…”
There was something wrong with this woman’s brains, was there not? Did Qin Yun provoke Zhong Qianqian?
When Qin Yun saw Zhong Qianqian walk down, she put on a smile again and followed after her.
Mrs. Wu and Miss Wu immediately got to their feet.
Mrs. Wu and Miss Wu had originally intended to join the Gu family, but Gu Mingzhe wondered among many noble ladies. It could be said that even though he was surrounded by hundreds of flowers, not a single leaf had touched his body. In the end, he chose Zhong Qianqian in a flash.
Therefore, Mrs. Wu and Miss Wu both wanted to see with their own eyes who Zhong Qianqian was. Although the discomfort in their hearts was disconcerting, they had no choice but to suppress the feeling since they had to rely on the Gu family in the future. Therefore, they wanted to see what kind of goddess Zhong Qianqian was that the Gu family willing to risk bankruptcy to marry this daughter-in-law who had offended the noble families in Luntan.
What they saw made them lapse into silence.
This woman… did not live up to a single shred of her reputation. Most importantly, she did not even have basic manners and etiquette. What was the Gu family up to?
However, she was so rude too. Why did Mrs. Gu not scold her?
Or…
