Gu Qingyao was rather curious. She had practically no dealings with this girl, and there were no grudges between them. If she was hostile because they were fighting for some advantage, then she shouldn’t be speaking in such a sarcastic tone, and with such an arrogant air too.
After so many years in the capital’s social circles, Gu Qingyao usually saw such an attitude in only one type of woman… a rival in love!
Her Brother Beihan had such a high status and was so handsome. He had always enjoyed an excellent reputation among the capital’s social circles. He never flirted with other women. He doted on his wife and loved his child. He was the epitome of a good husband. Many women dreamt of having a perfect husband like that.
Among the rich matrons and ladies in the capital, many were envious and jealous of Gu Qingyao, and they hated her. Now and then someone might make an envious remark, but these were very, very rare.
Now this Yang Shiyun dared to speak to her like that. Considering the Yang family’s position, she was very, very brave!
Mo Yang raised his head. Once again, he said innocently, “Aunty, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Aunty???
Yang Shiyun did not know how to respond when he addressed her like that. She was just 26 years old and was very young. The children from other families overseas addressed her as ‘Older Sister’. But now Mo Yang addressed her as ‘Aunty’…
But it was true that Mo Yang was Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan’s child. It was not a problem if he addressed her like that.
Mo Yang said, “With my mother’s status, which hospital would dare to employ her? Besides, Mother’s medical skills are so amazing that she doesn’t need to work in a hospital. Patients will naturally come looking for her.
“As for Mother depending on Father to survive, that’s not true! I think it’s Father who depends on Mother to survive! My father can’t seem to go without seeing my mother every day. He enjoys sticking close to Mother every day.”
Yang Shiyun: “…”‘
She was so angry that her stomach hurt!
She did not want to hear about how loving Mo Beihan and Gu Qingyao were.
Yang Shiyun struggled to maintain her composure before she said to Mo Yang, “That’s not what I meant. Mo Yang, you’re still young. You don’t understand what society is like now.”
“Times have improved, and a woman needs her own achievements. She needs to play her part. She can’t just depend on a man and stay at home as a housewife. Every woman is an independent individual. If she wants to be a good helpmate to her man, she must be capable enough.
“The Mo family’s business empire is so large. The mistress of the family has many things to do. Otherwise, how will outsiders acknowledge her worth? If a woman isn’t capable in her own right, she can’t survive the moment she leaves her man. Such a woman can be abandoned by her man at any time. In the end, she doesn’t even have the ability to survive and will become a burden to society and an embarrassment to womankind.”
Mo Yang batted his eyes. He did not seem to comprehend what Yang Shiyun was implying.
“What does that have to do with my mother? My father really loves her! She doesn’t need to do anything. The Mo family business is very large, but we have plenty of servants. In our household, we have so many butlers and servants to do the work. Why must my mother be the one to do it? My father will feel bad if she gets tired.
“Besides, my mother will never have to worry about survival! Even if my father doesn’t want her, she can always fall back on her inheritance. Why would she need to consider how to survive? Qiao’s Jewelry is enough to provide for her over several lifetimes!”
Yang Shiyun: “…”‘
Every word hit Yang Shiyun where it hurt the most. She was so angry she could barely maintain her composure!
