Chapter 119: My Sister Is The Third Party
Song Shiyu: “???”
What was wrong with him? Was this what it meant to have gains and losses? He had just received Master Du’s WeChat ID when his salary for this month was gone?
He was about to explain himself and try to save his salary when he heard the butler say at the door, “Young Master, Young Master Moling and Miss Qiao Rou are here.”
Song Shiyu could only swallow his words. President Gu had always been volatile. He would deduct one’s salary one second and give out a bonus the next second. He had better perform well!
A servant opened the door for them. “Young Master Moling, Miss Qiao Rou, please come in.”
On the way here, Qiao Rou had already seen how luxurious Longwan Residential was. She did not expect that when she saw the interior of the villa, she would still open her mouth in surprise.
Such a villa… Such wealth. Only such a man was worthy of her!
Qiao Rou silently prayed in her heart that she could seize the opportunity to win over Gu Zheng today and make him kneel before her beauty.
The butler had heard of the matter between Gu Moling, Qiao Rou, and Qiao Xi a long time ago. Although he maintained a polite smile on his face, he did not have a good impression of Gu Moling and Qiao Rou at all.
He clearly saw the greed in Qiao Rou’s eyes when she saw the villa. He was about to sneer when he saw Qiao Rou’s eyes turn red and she sighed.
The butler: “…”
As a qualified housekeeper, he should ask the guests what was wrong with a smile. Hence, he maintained the smile on his face and asked gently, “What’s wrong, Miss Qiao Rou? Are you feeling unwell? Or are you dissatisfied with something?”
Gu Moling was about to open his mouth to deny it when he saw Qiao Rou wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. “It’s nothing. I just thought of something and felt a little sad.”
The butler wanted to say, ‘Why are you crying at the door of our young master’s house?’ He wanted to ask someone to throw Qiao Rou, this eyesore, out. However, as a professional butler, no matter how impatient he was, he would not show it on his face. Instead, he continued to ask very professionally, “What exactly made you unhappy? If there’s anything I can help with, please let me know.”
There were countless servants and bodyguards in Longwan Residential. Qiao Rou’s eyes shifted. It was human nature to gossip. If these people heard what she said and spread it, then it would be spread in high society as well…
None of the people around Gu Zheng were simple people. There was also this butler in front of her. She heard that he was a butler transferred from the old residence. He had a high status in the Gu family. If this butler felt sorry for her and liked her, wouldn’t it be much easier for her to do what she wanted?
At the thought of this, her eyes turned red as she smiled bitterly. “I just thought of my sister. She has always been looking forward to life in the upper class society…”
Gu Moling frowned. He did not expect that Qiao Rou would actually tell the butler of Gu Zheng’s villa about this. He was just about to stop her when he heard the butler suddenly realize something. “The elder sister you’re talking about is Qiao Xi, the daughter of the Qiao family who came back from the countryside?”
Gu Moling did not expect the butler to know Qiao Xi’s name. Could it be that her reputation was so bad that even the villa’s butler had heard of her?
Qiao Rou was surprised. “Butler, you know my sister?”
The butler adjusted his expression and tried to show a look of disdain. “Of course I do, but I only know a little bit. I know that Miss Qiao Xi and Young Master Gu Moling…”
Qiao Rou was delighted in her heart. This was indeed something she had not expected. She had not expected that Qiao Xi’s reputation would be so bad that even the butler would know about her. However, she did not mind adding fuel to the fire to worsen the butler’s impression of Qiao Xi.
Hence, she pretended to be flustered and waved her hands. “No, no, no. It isn’t like that. My sister and Brother Moling don’t have that kind of relationship.”
The butler said, “But I heard that you were supposed to marry Young Master Moling. It was Qiao Xi who caused trouble at home and insisted on marrying Young Master Moling. She even attacked and injured you, so your marriage with Young Master Moling was delayed until now. I heard that in order to cling to the Gu family, Qiao Xi wanted to take your place and marry Young Master Moling. Isn’t this true?”
Before Qiao Rou spoke, she carefully glanced at Gu Moling. Gu Moling knew that if anything bad about Qiao Xi was said in front of the butler today, it would be equivalent to indirectly telling Gu Zheng. In this way, Qiao Xi could forget about joining the high society.
He was slightly unable to take it, but since the matter had already developed to this point, he could only continue tacitly. As for Qiao Xi, he would compensate her in the future if he had the chance. A few tens of thousands of yuan would probably suffice.
