Chapter 64: Move Out Of The Master Bedroom
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“So your father didn’t give the husband’s decree to your mother?” Qiao Xi was slightly curious.
“Yeah.” Gu Zheng chuckled, his gaze meaningful. “Why are you suddenly asking about the decree? Do you want it?”
Qiao Xi choked for a moment, then looked away. She just wanted to ask about it. What was wrong with this man’s brain? If Madam Gu found out that she wanted something from her husband, she would probably curse her again.
Gu Zheng curled his lips. This woman looked smart but was also stupid at times. She did not even know that she already had the husband’s decree.
After the two of them went upstairs, Gu Zheng went straight to the study. He had not read the documents sent by the company and still had a video conference that he needed to preside over. Qiao Xi returned to the third floor and fiddled with her things. She only went downstairs to look for food when her stomach growled from hunger.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she went downstairs, she saw Mrs. Gu ordering a group of servants to move Meng Wan’s luggage into the villa.
“Aunt Lan, isn’t it inappropriate to have me stay in the same room as Brother Gu Zheng…” Meng Wan’s face was slightly red.
Mrs. Gu patted her hand. “What’s there to be shy about? You and Gu Zheng are engaged. If it weren’t for the incident in the middle, the two of you would’ve registered your marriage and gotten married by now. You’ll have to share a room sooner or later. We’re just doing it a little earlier now, so no one will gossip.” Then, she lowered her voice. “And if you don’t stay, that woman will continue to stay with Gu Zheng. Are you willing to let the two of them continue being together?”
Meng Wan bit her lip. “I understand what you mean, Aunt Lan. I also know that you’re doing this for my own good, but Brother Gu Zheng has been seduced by Miss Qiao. He already has Miss Qiao in his heart. I’m afraid that my actions will only make Brother Gu Zheng even more dissatisfied with me.”
“You’re thinking too much.” Madam Gu tapped her forehead. “All men are the same. You’re so beautiful, so which man won’t be moved by you?”
“Aunt Lan…” Meng Wan pulled her arm and said coquettishly.
Madam Gu could only relent. “But it seems that you’re right, Wan Wan. Gu Zheng has been bewitched by that vixen. He won’t be able to see your good side for a while. Rashly stepping in between them will only make Gu Zheng unhappy, so you shouldn’t rush to stay with him.” With that, she asked the servants to move Meng Wan’s things to the room next to Gu Zheng’s.
The butler stood still.
Whether it was having Meng Wan share a room with Gu Zheng or letting her take up the room next door, he could not do either of those things. There was only one master bedroom on the third floor and it belonged to Madam now. Recently, Young Master had also been staying with Madam, so he could not fulfill Meng Wan’s request of living next door to Young Master.
Meng Wan also thought of this. She remembered that the last time she came to the villa, Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi had come from the third floor together. Her hands were suddenly clenched tightly. She said to Madam Gu with tears in her eyes, “Aunt Lan… Brother Gu Zheng is staying on the third floor… That woman also stays on the third floor.”
“What?!”
Madam Gu abruptly stood up. “That little b*tch is actually staying in the same room as Gu Zheng? How is that possible? Gu Zheng hates strangers entering his room the most! Butler, throw that little b*tch’s things out of Gu Zheng’s room right now! Wan’er, don’t be sad. I’ll definitely give you an explanation.”
The butler resisted for a moment. “Young Madam has been staying in the master bedroom since she entered.”
Even someone as territorial as their young master had to give in to Young Madam. What right did Madam Gu, a mother who was not close to Young Master, have to force Young Madam to leave the master bedroom?
Mrs. Gu was about to speak when Meng Wan’s face suddenly turned pale. She looked upstairs with trembling eyes. “Miss Qiao, you’re here… I… I don’t mean to take your room. Don’t misunderstand…”
Everyone turned around upon hearing that.
Qiao Xi lazily leaned against the stairs with her arms crossed in front of her chest, looking as if she was watching a show. When Madam Gu saw her like this, she was even more infuriated. She opened her mouth and ordered, “Qiao Xi, you came at the right time. With your identity, you’re unqualified to stay in the master bedroom. I’ll give you a chance now. Pack your things and move out of the master bedroom. I won’t make a fuss about this with you. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not showing you any respect.”
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows.
Not show her any respect? When had this person ever shown her any respect?
Madam Gu was certain that Qiao Xi would not dare to disobey her orders, so after she finished speaking, she pulled Meng Wan to sit on the sofa and slowly sipped on tea. She looked as if she did not take Qiao Xi seriously.
Qiao Xi pinched the space between her brows… What should she do? She was really unhappy looking at this scene…
