With such a stern threat, Zhang Xue’s face immediately turned pale. She quickly went around to Hai Tang and Gu Song, who had turned to leave. She said loudly,” I’m sorry, Mrs. Gu, Miss Gu. I was blind. I didn’t recognize you.”
Hai Tang saw that she was scared.” We didn’t mean to make things difficult for you,” she said lightly.” We just want you to apologize for bumping into someone and dirtying my dress.”
“I apologize, I apologize!” Zhang Xue quickly replied.
Gu Song snorted coldly. He crossed his arms and said,” He was so arrogant just now. Now, when he heard the name of the Gu family, he was so scared that he tucked his tail between his legs. He’s really a snob.”
Zhang Xue broke out in a cold sweat. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she felt like a clown who was extremely ugly and funny.
However, she really had no choice. Zhang Xue only realized now what an irreversible mistake she had made.
Seeing Hai Tang and Gu Song’s cold expressions, Zhang Xue was so frightened that tears fell. She knelt down and lowered her head to say to Hai Tang,” I really know my mistake. I beg Madam Gu and Miss Gu to forgive me.”
Hai Tang didn’t expect that the originally arrogant Zhang Xue would kneel down and apologize to them because they were members of the Gu family. She only felt a little sad.
She sighed softly and shook her head.
After saying that, she pulled Gu Song away from the crowd.
Once Hai Tang left, the crowd that had gathered dispersed. The noblewomen whispered to each other, then looked at the dejected Zhang Xue and left one after another.
Only then did Zhang Xue stand up from the ground, her entire body trembling. Suddenly, she saw Yu Lu, who was trying to sneak away from the crowd.
Zhang Xue’s eyes were red as she grabbed Yu Lu.” You knew that those two people were from the Gu family. Why did you instigate me to find trouble with them?” she asked angrily.
Yu Lu’s body stiffened. She quickly shook her head like a rattle-drum and denied it.” Sister Xue, you misunderstood me. I never meant that.”
When Zhang Xue thought of the scene just now, she suddenly felt that she was about to lose all her face. She was embarrassed and angry, so she gave Yu Lu a slap that made a clear sound.
Yu Lu’s eyes widened, but she didn’t dare to retaliate.
Although Zhang Xue could not teach Hai Tang a lesson, bullying Yu Lu, whose family background was inferior to hers, was a piece of cake.
Seeing the bright red palm print on Yu Lu’s face, Zhang Xue shouted angrily,” I don’t care what you think. How dare you harm me like this? Just you wait!”
Yu Lu covered her face in humiliation. Two streams of tears immediately flowed down her face. She said aggrievedly,” Sister Xue, I really didn’t mean to harm you. I don’t know how Hai Tang became Gu Yun’s wife. His real identity is clearly just the Hai family’s unfavored adopted daughter…’
These words were indeed the truth from Yu Lu. In her opinion, she had clearly known Gu Yun earlier, so the position of Mrs. Gu should be hers. She was definitely not an ugly duckling like Hai Tang.
However, Zhang Xue refused to listen anymore. She glared at her fiercely and turned around to leave with the other noble ladies.
After everyone left, Yu Lu, who was left alone on the spot, covered the bright red palm print on her face. A vicious look flashed across her eyes.
‘ Sister-in-law, you’re wearing a white dress. The red wine stain is too obvious. What should we do?” Gu Song said worriedly.
After saying that, she took out her phone and wanted to contact the Gu family’s chauffeur to pick them up and change into their gowns.
Hai Tang looked down at her dirtied dress and suddenly had an idea. She walked to the dessert counter and picked up a glass of red wine. She shook it a few times and looked at the liquid in the glass.
Gu Song still did not quite understand what Hai Tang wanted to do.” Sister-in-law,” he asked, puzzled,” you’re not going to pour this glass of red wine back on that Zhang Xue, are you?”
If that was really the case, then Gu Song felt that Hai Tang was really too valiant.
Hai Tang smiled without saying a word and handed the glass of red wine to Gu Song.
Gu Song was even more confused. She tilted her head and said, “Sister-in-law, do you want me to splash red wine?”
Gu Song pondered for a moment and quickly made up his mind.” Alright, I promise to complete the mission perfectly.. I will definitely pour the red wine over that Zhang Xue’s head!”
