Chapter 978: Protective (2)
The Zhong family was well-to-do. Zhong Guangping might have looked down on her in the past, but things were different now.
She was now a rich young lady in the Mo family. She was beyond the likes of Zhong Guangping.
Zhong Guangping frowned when he saw her.
Zhou Furong’s dressing smacked of the nouveau riche. But her dress was truly expensive. Since when had she become so rich?
Zhong Guangping had a poor impression of Zhou Furong. She was clearly married but still tried to seduce him; he despised her for that. He stood there silently.
Zheng Lin also disliked her. This woman had often made trouble for her in the past.
“What a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet you in the capital!”
The couple had been in the capital for some time. They had not expected to run into Zhou Furong here.
Zhou Furong smiled. “Of course. Are you surprised to see me today? Let me tell you. I’m a different Zhou Furong from the past. I’m now the Mo family’s young lady. Do you know the Mo family?
“The most influential family in the capital, the Mos. Ah! Since we’re old friends, if you run into any trouble, you can look for me at the Mo house. Since we once knew each other, if you beg me, I might help you if I’m in a good mood.”
Zhong Guangping frowned. “Mo family?”
Zhou Furong saw that Zhong Guangping was finally responding and said smugly, “That’s right, that’s the Mo family you’re thinking of.
“Surprised? I’m the Mo family’s young lady. My mother is Old Master Mo’s sister. Our entire family is staying with the Mos! I’m the Mo family’s young lady, and my daughter is the Mo family’s granddaughter. Our family is beyond the likes of you now!”
Zhong Guangping: “…”
Zheng Lin: “…”
It was true that the Mo family was very powerful and that the Zhong family could not compare to them.
But since when had this Zhou Furong become the Mo family’s young lady?
Why hadn’t they heard that Old Master Mo had a younger sister?
Besides, even if the old woman was Old Master Mo’s younger sister, this Zhou Furong’s surname was Zhou. She was married and had a daughter. At most, she was a relative of the Mo family.
What young lady of the Mo family…
The couple knew that Zhou Furong was a piece of work, and they did not want to bandy words with her.
“Congratulations then. We’re busy, we have to go!”
Zhong Guangping could not be bothered to talk nonsense with someone like this. He supported his wife and prepared to leave.
When Zhou Furong saw that Zhong Guangping’s attitude towards her had not changed, she shouted angrily, “Zhong Guangping, don’t you have any regrets?
“You’ve married a sterile woman. After so many years, she still hasn’t given you a son. Your only daughter is lost. This slut is a jinx to her husband. She was born to be your jinx. Don’t you have any regrets?
“If you were with me, you would be the Mo family’s son-in-law while this slut…”
“Shut up!” Zhong Guangping was furious. “Zhou Furong, apologize to my wife immediately, or I won’t hold back!”
Zhou Furong had insulted Zheng Lin in public. No one would take it lying down.
The upper class seldom humiliated each other openly even if they were fighting. It was even rarer to embarrass someone in public.
Zhou Furong was definitely humiliating Zheng Lin. Zhong Guangping, who was always protective of his wife, certainly would not tolerate this.
Zhou Furong was startled. She had already said that she was the Mo family’s young lady. How dare Zhong Guangping treat her like this?
