Chapter 125 - Can't Afford To Provoke

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Rou was about to go crazy. How could this woman be so hypocritical?!

She even said that she was not deliberately targeting her. Which part of her speech just now was not sarcastically mocking her? Did she think that she could not tell?

Her expression was ferocious as she glared fiercely at Qiao Xi. “You…!”

“Qiao Rou!

Gu Moling suddenly raised his voice to cut off the words Qiao Rou was about to say. They had already left a bad impression on the head of the family and Mrs. Gu. If they continued to offend Mrs. Gu, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, he grabbed Qiao Rou’s hand tightly. “Master, Madam, Rou Rou isn’t able to think clearly today. She’s not herself when she speaks. Please don’t blame her. I’ll bring her to see a doctor now. Master, I’ll take my leave first.”

As he spoke, he ignored Qiao Rou’s struggles and dragged her out of the door.

Qiao Xi watched this scene with interest and clicked her tongue twice. “This Gu Moling is quite smart. He knew how to interrupt Qiao Rou. If he leaves now, even though he won’t be able to give his family an explanation, it’s still better than completely offending the two of us.”

Gu Zheng sneered. “Smart? You call this smart?”

How was it smart for a blind man to treat Qiao Rou as a treasure and abandon Qiao Xi? However, he had to thank Gu Moling for his stupidity since it was because of him that he had the chance to marry Qiao Xi.

At the thought of this, he lowered his eyebrows. “Mrs. Gu, you performed very well today. You’re finally acting like a madam.”

Qiao Xi curled her finger. “Since that’s the case, Brother Gu Zheng, do you want to give me a reward?”

For example, she wanted to kiss him and enjoy a delicious dinner. Of course, she was just thinking about it. This scumbag was not too willing to be touched by her. Unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, Gu Zheng actually nodded. “Okay.”

Qiao Xi: “?”

Had the sun risen from the west?

…

On the other side, Qiao Rou was stuffed into the car by Gu Moling.

Qiao Rou wiped her tears pitifully. Gu Moling was annoyed but he had to comfort her. “Don’t cry. That’s Mrs. Gu. She’s an existence we can’t provoke.”

His tone was a little harsh. Before entering the villa, he had clearly told Qiao Rou not to speak carelessly, but she did not take his words to heart at all. Not only did she take the initiative to speak, but she also offended Mrs. Gu. For the first time, Gu Moling felt that Qiao Rou’s character was rather annoying.

Qiao Rou realized that Gu Moling’s tone when he spoke to her was not quite right. She sniffled twice and quickly tried to salvage the situation. “Brother Moling, why does Mrs. Gu hate me so much? I spoke up for her own good in the beginning. Why did she treat me so…”

Gu Moling recounted what had happened today from beginning to end. Just as Qiao Rou had said, she did not do anything wrong. She was just too kind-hearted and wanted to remind the woman to leave as soon as possible. At that time, she did not know the woman’s identity. Most importantly, they did not know about the head of the family’s marriage.

Thinking of it like this, Qiao Rou had not done anything wrong at all. If the matter had not happened to Qiao Rou, then he would have been the target instead. When he thought of how the head of the family and Mrs. Gu had mentioned his fiancee… Could it be because of Qiao Xi? Could it be that Mrs. Gu knew Qiao Xi and wanted to suppress Qiao Rou to help Qiao Xi vent her anger?

That shouldn’t be the case. How could a vicious woman like Qiao Xi know Mrs. Gu? Moreover, he had never heard of Qiao Xi having any friends in Li City.

Qiao Rou carefully tugged at the corner of his shirt. “Brother Moling, do you think Mrs. Gu knows my sister? When she spoke, she kept talking about my sister and belittling me…” When this was mentioned, Qiao Rou felt angry, but she could not show it now. She could only suppress her anger and look at Gu Moling aggrievedly to get the man’s sympathy.

Gu Moling thought for a moment and shook his head. “I don’t think it’s possible. Qiao Xi would have no chance of getting to know Mrs. Gu.”

Qiao Rou also thought so. How could her good-for-nothing sister know a big shot like Mrs. Gu? They were not on the same level at all.

Thinking about this, her eyes shifted. “Brother Ling, why do you think Mrs. Gu hates me so much? She also said that I’m an illegitimate daughter and that my mother is a mistress, but my mother and father are truly in love. How could she be a mistress? Boo-hoo… Is it wrong to love someone?”

Gu Moling’s eyes lit up. Normally, a woman who could catch the eye of the head of the family had to be from a noble family and was a proper eldest daughter. It was normal for the eldest daughter to look down on an illegitimate daughter. However, it was also as Qiao Rou had said. What was wrong with true love? Uncle Qiao and Aunt Xu were truly in love, so Aunt Xu should not be labeled as a mistress. Qiao Rou should not be called an illegitimate daughter either..
