Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Hearing the girls’ discussion, the woman suddenly turned around and looked sharply at the girl beside Lu Muxue. She raised her eyebrows. “Repeat what you just said! Do you dare to say it to my face?”
The girl did not expect to hear these words. Her face was filled with embarrassment, but she was unconvinced. “You’re Qiao Xi’s friend, right?! She’s a mistress, so shouldn’t she admit her mistake? What right do you have to be so arrogant the moment you entered?!”
The woman’s eyes carried a trace of disdain. “Young lady, let me remind you that my name is Chi Yuan.”
“So what? Can’t I tell the truth just because you have some power?” the girl retorted indignantly.
Chi Yuan sneered and glanced at the girl with annoyance. Then, her cold eyes landed on Madam Zhou. She was like a proud and noble swan as she said in a very disdainful tone, “Madam Zhou, who do you think I am?”
Qiao Xi: “…” Sister Yuan’s aura was really strong! Those who did not know better would think that she was here to fight!
Madam Zhou’s face alternated between red and white. Her lips trembled so much that she could not say anything. The girl who was complaining about Chi Yuan just now was instantly anxious. “Madam Zhou, tell me! Who exactly is this woman? Everyone knows that Qiao Xi ruined the marriage between the eldest daughter of Hongfeng Corporation and Young Master Zhou. Right now, this woman is speaking up for Qiao Xi. Is it wrong for me to say a few words about her?”
Madam Zhou bit her lip tightly, her eyes filled with horror and shame. Sweat broke out on her forehead, and her heavy foundation fell off. She looked very disheveled.
Everyone looked at her curiously. Could it be that this woman’s background was really big? Even Madam Zhou did not dare to easily expose her identity.
Earlier, Madam Zhou had even publicly accused Qiao Xi of seducing Zhou Lin’an and strongly requested to fire Qiao Xi. However, ever since this woman entered, Madam Zhou seemed to have gone silent and could not say a word. Shouldn’t she be angry when facing the woman who was speaking up for Qiao Xi? Why was she like a mouse that had seen a cat?
Madam Zhou’s silence made the girl very embarrassed. She was clearly speaking up for Madam Zhou, but now, Madam Zhou was unwilling to reveal this woman’s identity. Just as everyone’s gazes landed on her, she could not help but question, “Madam Zhou, what exactly are your concerns? Even if this woman is powerful, she can’t distort the truth! She’s Qiao Xi’s friend, so she’s definitely not a good person!”
A trace of victory flashed past Lu Muxue’s eyes.
The girl became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke. She said loudly, “I don’t understand why you’re so afraid of her. Could she be the eldest daughter of Hongfeng Corporation?”
At this point, everyone could not help but be stunned.
Chancellor Chen pondered for a few seconds before asking, “Miss, could it be that your father is Chi Bin?”
Chi Yuan nodded. The girl just now did not continue to quarrel. She could not interrupt the chancellor, but who was this Chi Bin? Did such a person exist in Li City?
“Chi Bin? Isn’t he the chairman of Hongfeng Corporation?” someone asked in surprise.
The chairman of Hongfeng Corporation? If that was the case, wouldn’t Chi Yuan be the eldest daughter of Hongfeng Corporation?
Chi Yuan chuckled and said, “Yes, you don’t have to trouble Madam Zhou to explain. Everyone knows my identity now.”
Everyone was instantly dumbfounded. What was going on?
The eldest daughter of Hongfeng Corporation was Zhou Lin’an’s fiancee, but this victim was actually speaking up for Qiao Xi? The relationship between the fiancee and the mistress was actually so good?
If Qiao Xi had really ruined their engagement, with Chi Yuan’s arrogant character, how could she possibly stand up for Qiao Xi? Hence, Qiao Xi was not a mistress at all. The reason why she broke off the engagement was not because of her!
Madam Zhou’s face was ferocious, and her sharp nails had already dug into her palms.
No! She could not say it!
Why was Chi Yuan here? How did she know Qiao Xi?
Lin’an was so outstanding and handsome. Could it be that Chi Yuan did not like him? Why did she suddenly ask to cancel the engagement? Qiao Xi must have said something exaggerated in front of Chi Yuan that caused her to cancel the engagement, so it was still Qiao Xi’s fault!
Chi Yuan’s face was filled with impatience. “Our Xi Xi is too gentle. She’s too embarrassed to scold people who take advantage of her, but I’m different. I don’t indulge anyone! Madam Zhou, at a time like this, do you still think that I broke off the engagement with the Zhou family because of Xi Xi?”
Everyone was stunned. Miss Chi calling Qiao Xi ‘Xi Xi’ meant that the two of them were very close. In that case, there was something else going on.
Madam Zhou pointed at her while trembling. “You…”
